  • Page 2: Installation Of The Major Components

    The AA-RS20CS Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission Ve- hicles Only! The unit provides no output for glow plug pre-heat and may not be desirable for diesel vehicles. If the diesel engine has a instant fire, (no glow plug pre-heat system), a tach signal input, and an Automatic Transmission, this unit may be used.
  • Page 3 Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual. The AA-RS20CS is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combination Alarm/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle with a manual operated transmission.
  • Page 4: Wiring The 6 Pin Main Power Harness

    WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS: RED w/ WHITE Trace Wire: + 12 volts Battery 1 Source Connect this wire to a + 12 VDC constant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp fuse and holder provided. RED Wire: + 12 Volts Battery 2 Source Connect this wire to a + 12 VDC constant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp fuse and holder provided, but NOT the same vehicle wire as used by the battery 1 source.
  • Page 5 YELLOW START WIRE DETAIL GREEN Wire: Ignition 2 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" position and is some cases the "START" or CRANK" position. This wire will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF"...
  • Page 6 WIRING CONNECTIONS: Multi Pin Accessory Input/Output Harness White w/ Red Trace Wire: Parking Light Flasher Feed This wire is the common contact of the on board parking light flasher relay. If the vehicle you are working on has +12 volt switched parking lights, connect this wire to a fused + 12 volt source. (Max. 15 Amps) NOTE: If the vehicle's parking lights are ground switched, connect this wire to chassis ground.
  • Page 7 Purple Wire: (+) Door Trigger Input If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches + 12 volts when the door is opened, (Most Fords and some Imports), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In most cases, the Purple wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors the vehicle has as most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel.
  • Page 8 5. Connect the previously selected resistor from terminal #87 to the second (#2) wire (as shown). NOTE: The above information and following diagram is for the GM VATS system only. For GM PASS LOCK System you will require the Audiovox AS-PASS II Module. Green w/ White trace Wire: Entry Illumination Ground Output This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max.) whenever the remote is used to disarm the...
  • Page 9 switch is to be used with an alarm system, connect this wire using the diode assembly provided. IMPORTANT! This connection is a safety wire and must be connected as shown and tested as specified. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage. See detail of wiring in the following diagram.
  • Page 10 Remote Start to shut down if an attempt is made to operate the vehicle without the key while running under the control of the Remote Start. In most vehicles, in order to shift into gear, the brake pedal must be depressed. The brake input will in turn cause the remote start unit to shut off. See detail in the following diagram for wiring the brake light circuit.
  • Page 11 Brown Wire: Negative Door Trigger If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches ground when the door is opened, (Most GMs and Imports), you must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In most Chassis Ground Connection Detail cases the Brown wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors the vehicle has as most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel.

    and will remain active for as long as the transmitter button(s) is held. This is a low current output and must be connected to a relay to supply power to the device you intend to control. Connect Green w/ Black Trace wire to terminal #86 of a VF45F11 P&B relay or equivalent. Connect terminal #85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt source.
  • Page 13 See Below For Wiring Detail. Note: For connection to Four Wire Polarity Reversal, 5 Wire Alternating 12 Volts, And All Other Door Lock Circuits the Audiovox AS-9159 Door Lock Interface, (or equivalent 30 A automotive relays) 3 Wire Ground Switched Door Lock/Unlock Wiring Detail...
  • Page 14 Refer to the Audiovox Door Lock Wiring Supplement for proper wiring of these circuits. NOTE: The Alarm Selectable Features and Remote Start Selectable Features programming steps following are based on transmitter button 1 being programmed for channel 1 and transmitter button 2 being programmed for channel 2.
  • Page 15 Action Turn the ignition switch on Flip the valet/program switch on then off 3 times 1 Chirp-LED 1 Flash Within 3 seconds, turn the ignition switch off and then on. Press the button 1 to change. First Flip valet/program switch on then off Second Press the button 1 to change.
  • Page 16 Programming Tach Rate: The AA-RS20CS will learn the tach rate of the vehicle. To learn tach. 1. Start with the programming switch in the Off position. 2. Turn the ignition key to the On position.
  • Page 17 3. Connect the Yellow wire to a +12 volt ignition 1 source. This wire will have +12 volts with the ignition in the on and start position and have 0 volts with the ignition in the off position. 4. Connect the Green wire to the (Green) or (Orange/Green) tach input of the Audiovox remote start unit.
  • Page 18: Testing Your Installation

    If the unit fails this test, recheck your enable switch connection to the Ground and the Black/White wire of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit. If you have a plug in enable switch, check that the two pin connector is firmly seated in the mating connector on the control module.

    8. Repeat the above test this time move the gear selector to the drive position. If the unit attempts to start, failing this test, recheck your Yellow Wire's connection. This wire must be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. If the vehicle you are working on does not have an Electrical Neutral Safety Switch, it will be necessary to re-configure the Remote Starts Wiring to accommodate this vehicle.
  • Page 20: Key In Sensor Circuits

    To connect the Audiovox remote start unit to the GM Park / Neutral ECM input: 1. Locate the Orange / Black reference wire in the" C2" connector found at the ECM in GM B Body vehicles or, locate the equivalent reference wire in the vehicle you are installing the Audiovox Remote Start Unit in.
  • Page 21 E. Connect the cathode (striped) side of a 4002 series diode to this same wire, and connect the (non striped) side to the negative shut down safety wire (Gray / Black) of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit. F. Connect terminal 86 of the relay to a fused +12 volt constant battery source.
