Page 2: Installation Of The Major Components
This Remote Start/Keyless Entry System is designed for use with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The unit provides wait to start input for glow plug pre-heat which will be used for all diesel applications. If this wire is not connected, then the unit will remain in the Gasoline mode setting, which will crank the car when the RF signal is received with no delay. -

THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY: The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dashboard for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. - Page 4 NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay, (when used) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram. Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the neutral safety switch can result in personal injury and property damage.
- Page 5 WIRING CONNECTIONS: 12 Pin Input / Output Harness Black Wire: Chassis Ground Source Connect the Black wire to a known vehicle ground source or to a solid clean metal part of the chassis. Be certain to remove any paint or grease and secure this wire with a self-tapping screw and ring terminal. Black/White Wire: Control Switch The Black/White wire provides ON-OFF control of the Remote Starter.
- Page 6 Brake Switch Positive Shutdown Detail Yellow/Black Wire: + 12 Volt Alarm By - Pass Output NOTE: You must disconnect the ignition input of the alarm from any other wire that it is presently connected to in the vehicle. This wire provides a + 12 Volt output when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, and 0 Volts when the ignition key is “OFF”...
- Page 7 A. Shock Sensor By Pass: If there is Shock Sensor used with an alarm system and it is not shunted during the Remote Start activation period, then vibration from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger. In this case, connect the Ignition 3 output Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay.

Purple/White Wire: Tach Sensor Input This wire will continually monitor the engine tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. - Page 9 NOTE: The outputs above are low current outputs and must be used with a relay if the circuit's requirement is more than 300 mA. 2 Pin Door Lock/Unlock Harness: (White Connector) Green & Blue 2 Pin White Connector : Door Lock Outputs These wires will provide either a pulsed ground or a pulsed + 12 volt output to the factory door lock control relays.
- Page 10 Resistive Circuits, As Well As 4 Wire Polarity Reversal and 5 Wire Alternating 12 Volt Door Lock Control Circuits These applications require the use of additional components which may include relays, fixed resistors, or for convenience, the AS 9159a Door Lock Interface. Refer to the AUDIOVOX Door Lock Wiring Supplement and or the Audiovox fax back service for information on your particular vehicle for properly connecting to these types of circuits.

4. Press and hold the push button program switch ON, then start the vehicle using the ignition key. 5. When the unit senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to flash. 6. Release the program pushbutton switch. The parking lights will turn on for 3 seconds to indicate that the tach signal is stored and the unit is now out of the program mode. - Page 12 2. Reach inside the car and pull the hood release. 3. Raise the hood and confirm that the remote start unit shuts down. If the unit fails this test, recheck your pin switch connection to the Gray wire of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit. W A R N I N G ! ! DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION OF THE HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN FEATURE.

Page 13: Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch Considerations
MECHANICAL NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH CONSIDERATIONS: Mechanical neutral safety switch configurations differ slightly in that they do not offer the same level of safety when installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear selector is in any position other than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow the key to be turned to the start position or be removed from the ignition cylinder. - Page 14 Circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available. To connect to the key in sensor as shown in method 1: A. Locate the control wire that connects the drivers door pin switch to the key in sensor switch. B.

Page 15: Completing The Installation
NOTE: A second 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut down circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non Striped) side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit. - Page 16 © 2004 Audiovox Electronics Corp., Hauppauge, NY 11788 128-7217 128-7217 16 of 16...
