The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any electrical damage resulting from improper installation of the product, be that either
damage to the vehicle itself or to the unit. This unit must be installed by a certified technician using all safety devices supplied. Please
note that this guide has been written for properly trained Autostart technicians: a certain level of skills and knowledge is therefore
assumed. Please review the installation guide carefully before beginning any work.
Warning
Before installing the unit, if installing on a vehicle with a manual transmission, test that the OEM Door Switch contacts of the vehicle work
well, and that the Parking Brake system operates properly. If installing on a vehicle with an automatic transmission, test that the vehicle

  • Page 3: Included In The Kit

    Included in the Kit Before beginning the installation, please review the Installation Guide —particularly the Wiring Diagram and the Programming Options. Note: It is very important that you familiarize yourself with the programming and operation of the system, even if you have already installed a similar system in the past. There are many great new features you may overlook if you do not read the Guide–you would not maximize the potential of the unit.
  • Page 4 ♦ When wiring in parallel, make sure to ♦ Always make sure that any external isolate each connection with a diode in relays or modules added to the Remote order to avoid feedback and possible Starter module are properly fused and damage.

  • Page 5: Installation Order

    Installation Order The following is a suggested order for the Installation procedure. It is intended as a guide for novices, to help make the process of installing a remote starter module easier. Time is wasted by rewiring the module when mistakes are made. Also, the neatness of the installation is lessened every time the module is taken down and the wiring is “corrected”.
  • Page 6 when the module is in the vehicle. The fuses on the power wires should be removed during the pre-wire stage. The fuses will not be put back in until the powering stage of the installation. Once the pre-wiring is finished, the module can be brought into the vehicle. Before the module is −...

  • Page 7: A Basic Introduction To The Relay

    A basic introduction to the Relay What is a relay? A device that responds to a small current or voltage change by activating switches or other devices in an electric circuit. An electromagnetic switch, remote-controlled switch, a switching device. Why are Relays used? Relays can have several purposes in remote car starter installations.
  • Page 8 quenching/suppression diode, and that the Negative trigger is on the same terminal of the relay as the Anode (+ or non-striped side) of the quenching/ suppression diode. When a relay’s coil is energized, a magnetic field is created and energy is stored in the coil. When power is removed from the coil, the magnetic field collapses.
  • Page 9 Problem: Some vehicle circuits need to be isolated from feedback. In some cases, when a vehicle is remote started, feedback occurs on a circuit and powers another device or switch that was not intended to be powered during the remote starts. The following example will be a Positive (+) Parking Light circuit that feeds back and activates the windshield wipers during remote starts.
  • Page 10 the relay is activated, +12 volts from 87 is sent through 30, and the OEM trunk switch is activated, by the positive pulse. Interruption: Example: Creating a Starter Kill relay to prevent unauthorized starting of the vehicle. Problem: The OEM starter circuit needs to be disabled only when theft is attempted. Solution: A relay is used to interrupt the OEM starter wire.

  • Page 11: Harness Description

    module's Trunk release output activates the relay. The ground signal is sent from 87 through 30 to the vehicle's Trunk release wire activating the switch and opening the trunk. Harness Description 6-pin Main Ignition Harness (a.k.a. The Primary harness) The two Red wires are the power inputs for the module; the other wires are for recreating the actions of the Ignition switch during remote starts.

  • Page 12: 5-Pin Secondary Harness

    5-pin Secondary Harness (a.k.a. the secondary harness) This harness has the remaining wires used in basic remote starter installations, positive parking light output, the safety shut down inputs, and the ground wire for the module. Wire Description BLACK This wire must be connected to bare, unpainted metal (the Chassis or true Body (–) Chassis ground).
  • Page 13 This input should be used in vehicles that use a positive-switching Dome Light circuit. Connect to a Door trigger wire testing +12 V with a Door open. VIOLET CAUTION! You can only use a negative or a positive connection. In other words, only (+) Door pin or the wire is connected.

    Manual or Automatic Transmission This module may be installed on vehicles with manual or automatic transmissions. It is originally configured for manual transmissions. If the vehicle you are working on is automatic, it is mandatory to make a few quick and easy modifications before the unit is connected. In the event that the configuration requires changes afterwards, a complete reset will be necessary before those changes become effective.

  • Page 20: Clutch Bypass

    Clutch Bypass In order to remote start a manual transmission vehicle, the clutch switch must be bypassed. Clutch safety switch circuits can take many forms. Listed below are the most common ones. Some vehicles may also have a separate or combined switch on the clutch pedal for cruise control. Usually a cruise control switch reacts the moment you touch the pedal, whereas a clutch switch reacts only when the pedal is near the floor.

    Positive: Very similar to the negative system, except that the vehicle's clutch relay is triggered by 12 volts instead of a negative signal. In a Positive system, when the clutch is pressed; a positive (12 volts) signal is sent to the relay. The relay energizes when the Key is turned to the start position The 12 volts from the start wire is allowed to pass through the relay and to the starter motor.
