Route the switch wires toward the control module. The CA-500 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 ORANGE: Accessory Output Connect this wire to the Accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the ACCESSORY, ON and RUN positions, and will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the OFF and START positions.
- 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 7 Vehicle Parking Vehicle Parking Lights Light Switch White Wire From Remote Start Module Parking Light White Wire From Polarity Input Remote Start Module Max 15 Amp Fuse BLUE w/BLACK: Active output (-) Ignition 3 / Shock Disable Output This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start system initializes, and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start system turns off.
- 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.
- Page 9 3 Wire Ground Switched Door Lock Circuits: In this application, the GREEN wire of the 2 pin harness provides a ground pulse during the arming sequence, or pulsed ground lock output. Connect the GREEN wire to the low current ground signal wire from the factory door lock switch to the factory door lock relay.

Page 13: 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 14: 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.
