Page 10: Important Note To Be Read At The Installation
By the « DIP » switches: With its sophisticated processor, and its multiple programming levels, AstroStart control module allows direct entry into a multitude of programming options with little effort. You only need to find the Level where the option is and program that level. -
Page 11: Detailed Features
“Alarm Link” (Programmable in Stage 1 – Level 14) that page your remote if the OEM alarm’s been triggered, by monitoring the horn wire. In the AstroStart Alarm mode, these wires are used to detect door opening in order to trigger the alarm. -
Page 12: P1-8: Yellow: Anti-Locking
P1-8: Yellow: ANTI-LOCKING This input is used to detect the presence of the key in the ignition switch in order to cancel locking of the doors during an automatic rearming. In such cases, the alarm arms, but the doors are not locked. The same thing occurs with an OEM alarm rearming, this wire will prevent locking. -
Page 13: P2-6: Dark Green: Negative Out When Running
This output can be connected to the vehicle's factory horn to give an added audible verification or confirmation and is also triggered by the AstroStart alarm when in violation. See programming options related to the this output at Stage 1 – Level 10 on page 20 and Stage 2 – Level 3 on page 23. -

Page 15: P4-3: Green: Parking Light Output
P4-3: Green: PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT This wire provides a positive output to trigger the vehicle's parking light circuit to add a visual confirmation when the module receives commands. Locate the parking light circuit. If the circuit is controlled by a ground (-) signal, it is possible to use one of the four programmable outputs set in "Parking lights"... -

It is also a part of the Paging system. “Valet” mode: Press the push-button for more than 3 seconds with the key ON and the engine NOT running. -
Page 18: Detailed Programming Of The Control Module
When programming is complete, put all Dipswitches back to OFF position, then press on the brakes. Example: Imagine you have to program the AstroStart for an eight-cylinder engine, with an idle speed of 600 RPM. Place DIP switches to select the Level: Dipswitch 1 (On), 2, 3 SETTING EXAMPLE and 4 (Off) to select level 2. -
