Route the switch wires toward the control module. The CA-420A is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. - Page 4 THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY: The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this system 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 5 The BLACK w/ WHITE wire provides ON-OFF control of the Remote Starter. When the BLACK w/ WHITE wire is switched to a full time ground, the CA 420A Remote Start Module is operative. When the BLACK w/ WHITE wire is open, the remote starter is disabled. Connect the BLACK w/ WHITE wire to one of the wires from the back of the previously mounted Safety (Red Handled) control switch.
- Page 6 GRAY w/ BLACK: Negative Shutdown Input 2 Any time the GRAY w/BLACK wire is grounded, the Remote Start system will stop operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches ground to the brake light circuit, connect the GRAY w/BLACK wire to the output of the brake light switch.

- Page 8 PURPLE w/WHITE: Tach Sensor Input This wire will continually monitor the engine tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start system. 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.

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING: This transmitter is designed for use with your remote start system and is programmed by using the remote start's program switch in combination with the transmitter button. To program this transmitter into the CA-420A system: 1. Turn the ignition to the on position. -
Page 11: Testing Your Installation
TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION: CAUTION!! The following procedure must be performed after the installation of a Remote Start system. It is the responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests. Failure to test the system in the following manner may result in personal injury, property damage, or both. -
Page 12: Completing The Installation
8. Repeat the above test, but this time move the gear selector to the drive position. If the system attempts to start, failing this test, check the Violet wire connection. This wire must be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral saftey switch. If the vehicle you are working on does not have an electrical Neutral Safety switch, it will be necessary to reconfigure the Remote Start wiring to accommodate this vehicle.
