COMMANDER SERIES REMOTE CONTROL ENTRY SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the CMD-9000 Commander from Dakota Digital. This, along
with many other products that Dakota Digital has to offer, represents the latest in electronics
technology for the street rod, classic car, sport truck, or custom vehicle.
The CMD-9000 comes complete with receiver/controller, two key chain transmitters, one
sealed emergency release switch, and three dual relay packs. The unit can be installed and
configured to remotely release the driver's and passenger's door latches, provide up and down
control of both the driver and passenger side window, as well as release the trunk latch or operate
a trunk lift up and down. In addition to this, an auxiliary output is provided for an external relay.
This auxiliary relay can be set up as momentarily on or as latch-on, latch-off.
The system incorporates a self-resetting circuit protection device on the latch release
outputs to protect against short circuits. A safety feature partially disables the system when the
ignition is on to avoid the accidental opening of a door during vehicle operation. With the ignition
on, the only functions that are allowed to work are the control of the power windows. An
emergency release switch can be concealed on the underside of the vehicle to roll the driver's
window down should the door ever be closed with the transmitter on the inside and you on the
outside.
ADDITIONAL TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters supplied with your remote system are serial number coded for security.
They also use a code-hopping system that prevents the transmitter signal from being picked up
and duplicated to eliminate security problems. Each unit can "learn" up to 7 transmitters. It is also
possible to program one transmitter into more than one receiver. If you have more than one
vehicle with the CMD-9000 system you can program all of the transmitters into both units.
Transmitters from other manufacturers, such as car alarm systems, will not work with the CMD-
9000.

This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
