installation points to remember

IMPORTANT! This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission
vehicles only. Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and
is contrary to its intended use.

before beginning the installation

■ Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote
start system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle's systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or
multiplexed systems that can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic
probes (computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-meter before making
connections.
■ Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If equipped with an air bag,
avoid disconnecting the battery if possible. Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through
their warning lights after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which
can require a trip to the dealer.
■ Check with the customer on status LED location.
■ Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.
■ Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.
