    Included in the Kit Before beginning the installation, please review the Installation Guide —particularly the Wiring Diagram and the Programming Options. Note: It is very important that you familiarize yourself with the programming and operation of the system, even if you have already installed a similar system in the past. There are many great new features you may overlook if you do not read the Guide–you would not maximize the potential of the unit.
  • Page 4 ♦ When wiring in parallel, make sure to isolate each connection with a diode in order to avoid feedback and possible damage. Examples: Wiring clutch bypass transponder module to the ground out when running wire: At the junction point, where Ground Out when running “splits” and goes to each device, a diode is inserted on each of those lines.

  • Page 5: Installation Order

    The following is a suggested order for the Installation procedure. It is intended as a guide for novices, to help make the process of installing a remote starter module easier. Time is wasted by rewiring the module when mistakes are made. Also, the neatness of the installation is lessened every time the module is taken down and the wiring is “corrected”.
  • Page 6 when the module is in the vehicle. The fuses on the power wires should be removed during the pre-wire stage. The fuses will not be put back in until the powering stage of the installation. Once the pre-wiring is finished, the module can be brought into the vehicle. Before the module is −...

  • Page 7: A Basic Introduction To The Relay

    A basic introduction to the Relay What is a relay? A device that responds to a small current or voltage change by activating switches or other devices in an electric circuit. An electromagnetic switch, remote-controlled switch, a switching device. Why are Relays used? Relays can have several purposes in remote car starter installations.
  • Page 8 quenching/suppression diode, and that the Negative trigger is on the same terminal of the relay as the Anode (+ or non-striped side) of the quenching/ suppression diode. When a relay’s coil is energized, a magnetic field is created and energy is stored in the coil. When power is removed from the coil, the magnetic field collapses.
  • Page 9 Problem: Some vehicle circuits need to be isolated from feedback. In some cases, when a vehicle is remote started, feedback occurs on a circuit and powers another device or switch that was not intended to be powered during the remote starts. The following example will be a Positive (+) Parking Light circuit that feeds back and activates the windshield wipers during remote starts.
  • Page 10 the relay is activated, +12 volts from 87 is sent through 30, and the OEM trunk switch is activated, by the positive pulse. Interruption: Example: Creating a Starter Kill relay to prevent unauthorized starting of the vehicle. Problem: The OEM starter circuit needs to be disabled only when theft is attempted. Solution: A relay is used to interrupt the OEM starter wire.

  • Page 11: Harness Description

    module's Trunk release output activates the relay. The ground signal is sent from 87 through 30 to the vehicle's Trunk release wire activating the switch and opening the trunk. Harness Description 6-pin Main Ignition Harness (a.k.a. The Primary harness) The two Red wires are the power inputs for the module; the other wires are for recreating the actions of the Ignition switch during remote starts.
