19. Cold Temperature Starting. Allows the
vehicle to automatically start and run every 2
hours or every hour for severe cold weather.
20. Engine Start Sense. Selects between Smart
Start for tachless operation, or Tach Start for
actual RPM monitored starting. (see Step #21)
21. Engine Programming. Pressing transmitter
button I "learns" the RPM. For diesel vehicles,
after learning Tach signal enter step #21 again
and set for diesel by pressing button 3.
22. FM Transmitter Module. Pressing button 1
learns the add-on FM module ID so the FM trans-
mitter can operate the system. Pressing button 2
learns the FM transmitter. After pressing button 2
on the AM remote, press transmitter button 1 on
each FM remote (max 2).
23. Ignition 2 Relay Programming. Selects
between second ignition, second accessory, or
second starter output operation for heavy
gauge BROWN wire.

Engine Programming for Remote Start
In order for the system to properly start and
run the vehicle, the unit must be able to deter-
mine if the engine is cranking or if the engine
is actually running.This system is equipped with
two means of detecting the engine's run status:
Smart Start and Tach Start.
The Smart Start feature detects the engine's
run status using specially designed software
that interprets certain characteristics of the
engine, and does not require a connection to
the vehicle's tachometer wire. This feature
allows a faster installation, but may not be com-
patible with all vehicles, or under extreme tem-
peratures.
The Tach Start feature requires connection
the the vehicle's tachometer wire, or an injec-
tor wire if the tach wire is not available. The
Tach Start feature provides reliable operation
with virtually any vehicle and in severe temper-
ature extremes. When the Tach Start feature is
selected, the vehicle's tach signal must be
"learned" through system programming. (see
below)
To Program the Tach Start feature:
1. Enter System Programming. (see Entering
Programming)
2. Program Step #20 to Tach Start using trans-
mitter button 2.
3. Start the vehicle with the key.
4. With the engine running, immediately re-
enter programming, and go to Step #21.
5. Press transmitter button 1 to learn the vehi-
cle's tach signal.
• The siren will chirp and the LED will flash
once if the tach was learned.
• The siren will chirp and the LED will flash
5 times if the tach was not learned.
6. Turn off ignition to save settings.
The default setting for the engine mode is Gas
Engine. For diesel vehicles, the engine type for
Step #21 must be set to Diesel Engine. When
programmed for diesel engines, the BLUE/YEL-
LOW wire (glow plug input) is monitored to
make sure the glow plugs have warmed up
before the engine begins cranking. If the glow
plug wire is not connected, the unit has a built-
in timer that waits 15 seconds before cranking
the starter.
