This Remote Start/Keyless Entry System is designed for use with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The unit provides wait to start input for glow plug pre-heat which will be used for all diesel applications. If this wire is not connected, then the unit will remain in the Gasoline mode setting, which will crank the car when the RF signal is received with no delay.

THE TRANSCEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY: The Superheterodyne Transceiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dash- board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception.

Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the neutral safety switch can result in personal injury and property damage. SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS. BLUE WIRE: Ignition 1 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the to the "ON"...

BROWN w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: Positive Inhibit Input 2 Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown w/ Black tracer wire, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches + 12 Volts to the brake light circuit, connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the output of the brake light switch.

5. Connect the previously selected resistor from terminal #87 to the second (#2) wire (as shown). NOTE: T h e 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. General Motors VATS By-Pass Diagram Connect terminal #30 &...
Green/Orange Wire: Tach Sensor Input This wire will continually monitor the engine tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil.

NOTE: The outputs above are low current outputs and must be used with a relay if the circuit's requirement is more than 300 mA. 2 Pin Door Lock/Unlock Harness: (White Connector) The Red & Green Door Lock/Unlock output wires provide either a pulsed ground or pulsed + 12 volts to control the vehicle door lock / unlock circuits.

These applications require the use of additional components which may include relays, fixed resistors, or for convenience, the AS 9159 Door Lock Interface. Refer to the AUDIOVOX Door Lock Wiring Supplement and or the Audiovox fax back service for information on your particular vehicle for properly connecting to these types of circuits.
3. Raise the hood and confirm that the remote start unit shuts down. If the unit fails this test, recheck your pin switch connection to the Gray/Black wire of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit. DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION OF THE HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN FEATURE.
4. Move the switch to the off (Open From Ground) position, the vehicle should shut off. 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 2 pin connector is firmly seated in the mating connector on the control module.
4000 series diode. Shown is a typical GM Park/Neutral ECM input circuit. 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.

If the hood pin switch is also used for an alarm trigger input, be certain to use the dual diode assembly packaged with the Audiovox Remote Start Unit as shown in this installation guide. Page 18...
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION: After you have confirmed the operation of the Audiovox Remote Start unit and tested all the safety features of the system: 1. If you have not done so already, place the red rubber handle cover over the handle of the control switch for ease of identification.
