Installation Basics
If you are new to installing Firstech Series Remote Starts and/or Alarms, we highly recommended that you
thoroughly review this manual to installing your first unit.
Remote Programming:
You must code remotes to this system before anything will function. Begin by cycling the ignition ON and OFF
five times within 10 seconds and press and release button 1 (half second) on the first remote, and then press and
release button 1 (half second) on the second remote.
Tach learning procedure: When using tach mode this must be done before the first remote start attempt.
Learn tach by: (1.) Starting the vehicle with the key, (2.) Press and hold the foot brake, then (3.) Activate the
remote start sequence - one chirp and parking light flash indicates that the vehicle tach signal has been
successfully learned. Two chirps and three parking light flashes indicate that the control module failed to see a
proper tach signal. (These units have the option for Tachless and 3 second assume cranking).
DAS Sensor (Required for Manual Transmission Installs):
The DAS sensor monitors forward movement for remote starting manual transmissions, dual stage impact,
and auto adjusting tilt sensor. See the DAS Sensor section of this manual for details.
Internal green/white loop must be cut for AUTOMATIC transmission vehicles.
By default, the units come MANUAL transmission ready, you MUST select a reservation set up procedure
to allow proper manual transmission function. You will need to cut the green/white loop inside the control
module if you are installing the unit in an AUTOMATIC transmission.
