  • Page 5 This Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission- Fuel Injection Vehicles Only! The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a number of selectable timed outputs for glow plug pre-heat in addition to a "Wait To Start Input" either of which may be required for certain diesel .
  • Page 6 DASH MOUNTED LED: The small LED included in the kit will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm's status and provide a visual deterrent to a potential thief. The LED also provides important feed back information during the transmitter and feature program modes.
  • Page 7 This unit is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combination Alarm/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be in- stalled into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and property damage.
  • Page 8 IMPORTANT! It is the responsibility of the installing technician to determine the load factor of the vehicles electrical circuits when the vehicle is running, and to adequately fuse the two power wires based on that load. If the vehicle, running under load with the air conditioner, heater blower motor, and accessories exceed 24 Amps continuous, we recommend that two fuses be used in combination on each power wire as shown below.
  • Page 9 GREEN Wire: Ignition 2 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" position and is some cases the "START" or CRANK" position. This wire will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF"...
  • Page 10 WIRING CONNECTIONS: Multi Pin Accessory Input/Output Harness White w/ Red Trace Wire: Parking Light Flasher Feed This wire is the common contact of the on board parking light flasher relay. If the vehicle you are working on has +12 volt switched parking lights, connect this wire to a fused + 12 volt source. (Max. 15 Amps) NOTE: If the vehicle's parking lights are ground switched, connect this wire to chassis ground.
  • Page 11 Purple Wire: (+) Door Trigger Input If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches + 12 volts when the door is opened, (Some Fords and some Imports), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In most cases, the Purple wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors the vehicle has as most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel.
  • Page 12 A. Shock Sensor By Pass: If there is a Non Plug in Shock Sensor used with the 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 Light Blue Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay.
  • Page 13 Entry Illumination Detail Grey w/ Black Trace Wire: Negative Inhibit Input Plus Trigger When Armed The Grey w/ Black Trace wire provides an instant shutdown for the Remote Start Control Module whenever it is grounded also trigger for the alarm when armed. Connect the Grey w/ Black trace wire to the hood pin switch previously installed.
  • Page 14 Starter Inhibit Wiring Detail White/Black Black Brown w/ Black Trace Wire: Positive Inhibit Input Plus Trigger When Armed The Brown w/ Black Trace wire provides an instant shutdown for the Remote Start Control module when- ever it gets + 12 volts also triggers the alarm when armed. If the Brake lights switch in the vehicle switches + 12 volts to the brake light circuit, connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the output side of the brake switch.
  • Page 15 Green w/ Orange Trace Wire: Tachometer Input Signal This wire will continually monitor the engine's 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 16 Channel 3 Relay Wiring Detail Green w/ Black Trace Wire: 300mA Latched Channel 4 Output The Green w/ Black Trace wire supplies a 300 mA switched output whenever channel four of the receiver is accessed. Pressing the pre-programmed transmitter button(s) will access channel four and will remain active, for up to 20 seconds, as long as the transmitter button(s) is held.
  • Page 17 NOTE : This is a normally opened starter cut arrangement, when power is removed from the security system, the starter disable feature will remain operational, and the vehicle will not start. Audiovox does not recommend using the Orange w/ White trace wire to interrupt anything but the starting circuit of the vehicle.
  • Page 18 Black w/ Yellow Trace Wire: Ground Output During Start (Crank) The Black w/ Yellow Trace wire will provide a 300 mA ground output while the starter output of the remote start unit is active. This output can be used to activate the Crank Low/Bulb Test wire found in some GM vehicles.
  • Page 19 3 Wire Ground Switched Door Lock Circuits: In this application, the Red wire of the door lock harness provides a ground pulse during the arming sequence, or pulsed ground lock output. Connect the Red wire to the low current ground signal wire from the factory door lock switch to the factory door lock relay.
  • Page 20 The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second time after disarming. Connect the Red/Black wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door unlock switch to the factory door unlock control relay. 3 Wire Positive Switched 2 Step Door Locks: The green wire provides a positive pulse during arming or the pulsed + 12 volt lock output.
  • Page 21 NOTE: 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, a 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.
  • Page 22 TEMPERATURE START: When Temperature Start, Bank 3 feature #13 is selected on, the temperature start mode can be activated from the transmitter. See owners manual for turning this feature on from the transmitter. Once activated, the unit will start 1 time if the vehicle temperature reaches "0* " and then will run the allotted time. NOTE: When selecting Diesel operation, (Bank 3 Feature #11), over gasoline, the only change is to the ignition circuits.
  • Page 23 plished by first mapping out the firing order of the engine in groups of as indicated below. Draw a circle around any of the columns. The Green/Black wires should be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the respective cylinder number which appears in any of the circles. 2.
  • Page 24 If the unit fails this test, recheck your enable switch connection to the Ground and the Black/White wire of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit. If you have a plug in enable switch, check that the two pin connector is firmly seated in the mating connector on the control module. DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION OF THE MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE FEATURE.
  • Page 25 4. Connect the other side of the enable switch to the Black/White enable input wire of the Remote Start unit. The reference diagram below shows a typical GM B Body ECM reference wire and how it is to be connected to the Remote Start Unit.
  • Page 26 METHOD 1 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. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground. C.
  • Page 27 be connected to the hood pin switch. If the hood pin switch is also used for an alarm trigger input, be certain to use the dual diode assembly packaged with the Audiovox Remote Start Unit as shown in this installation guide. (Page 9) AFTER THE CONNECTION OF THE NEUTRAL START SAFETY WIRE AS INDICATED IN ANY OF THE PREVIOUS ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS, THIS CIRCUIT MUST BE TESTED FOR OPERATION.
