Remote Start Kit for GM Trucks & SUV's - Installation "Tip Sheet"
rev 1.3 1/12/2013
Thank you for purchasing your remote start from MyPushcart.com - an industry leader in providing
remote starts to do-it-yourself installers since 1999. We've put this tip sheet together to help you with
your installation. The purpose of this sheet is to help you organize your installation - not to replace
your installation manuals. You will still need to refer to those.
Two very important things before you get started:
•
Read the entire installation manual. There are several safety tips in there that you need to know
before you start
Avoid using a test light to probe wires. Test lights can set off air bags and damage ECU's if you
•
probe the wrong wire. Your vehicle wiring chart will identify the correct wires that you'll be
tapping on to in your car. If you must probe, use a digital multi-meter. They're inexpensive and
won't set off air bags or burn circuit boards.
•
Test, and re-test all the wires you are connecting to in your vehicle before you connect them.
Sometimes wire color may change or be slightly different than what is shown on the chart.
Don't assume the chart is correct.
Your Kit Includes
1. ProStart PS4 remote car starter
2. idatalink ADS-DL bypass/interface module. The module has been pre-loaded with the correct
software for your vehicle
3. idatalink ADS-RNG-3 transponder ring
Overview
There are 5 basic steps to this remote start installation. We're going to address each of these:
1. Install your accessories
2. Make your wiring connections for the remote start
3. Program the remote start and bypass
4. Test the system
5. Button it up!

Step 3 – Finishing the Bypass Installation and Programming 1. Prior to plugging in the bypass, change the remote start’s programming option #5 to “ADS- idatalink OFA Series” (instructions for Options Programming are on page 15 of remote start manual) 2. - Page 6 Locate the vehicle’s ‘Motor Lock’ wire. This is the wire that goes directly to the door lock motor. In most GM vehicles it is a gray wire in the driver’s kick panel that runs in to the door boot. 2. Connect the relay as follows: Pin 30 to the green wire in the remote start 3-pin harness (the one with the red plug).
- Page 7 6. Antenna – Mount to the inside of the windshield near the top or near the pillar. The higher it is mounted, the better the operating range of your system. To further improve performance, mount the antenna at least 1” away from metal. Route the cable under the headliner, under the interior trim on the windshield pillar and behind the trim at the end of the dash.
- Page 8 Pass the wire from the remote through the opening as shown below Wrap the remote start wire around both sides of the car wire, then back around itself as shown below Use electrical tape to wrap the connection and secure the wires together. A wire tie will help prevent the tape from unraveling in the future.
