Frequently Asked Questions

I have everything hooked up and the system will not respond.

A: Check all your wires to the control module. Next check your fuses and ground. If the system does not

respond after that then try programming the remotes. Please see the "Common Procedure" section of

this manual for remote programming instructions.

Can I use any other Firstech remotes with this system?

A: Yes, the CM800-S control module is designed to only work with 4 Pin antennas and compatible

remotes. It does not work with 6 to 6 Pin antennas.

I am trying to program options with the OP500 Option Programmer and it flashes "ER 01" when I

plug it in to the antenna cable. What should I do?

A: First, make sure all connections are made to the control module. Second, make sure that the system

is not locked. The last thing to check is the antenna cable or antenna extension cable – make sure this is

not damaged. If you need to, try another cable. When the OP500 is working properly, it will read

"Success Good."

Is the CM800-S compatible with Manual Transmission vehicles?

A: No, the CM800-S remote start system is compatible with Automatic Transmission vehicles only.

What is the thick blue wire on CN1 and the jumper in the control module?

A: This wire is ran to an internal relay on the control module. This wire can be used to power up a 2

Ignition, 2

Starter, or 2

internal jumper in the control module.

How do I set the auxiliaries?
