    installation points to remember before beginning the installation 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. ■ 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.

    obtaining constant 12V We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. If the fuse will also be power- ing other circuits, such as door locks, a power window module, or a Nite-Lite®...

  • Page 8: Finding A (+) Brake Light Wire

    finding the starter wire The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter or to a relay controlling starter. In some vehicles, it is necessary to power a cold start circuit. A cold start circuit will test exactly like a starter circuit, but it does not control the starter.

  • Page 9: Finding The Rpm Input Wire

    finding the RPM input wire To test for a tachometer wire, a multimeter capable of testing AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire will show between 1V and 6V AC. In multi-coil ignition systems, the system can learn individual coil wires. Individual coil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage.

This is often used to operate a trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven function.
  • Page 14 H1/5 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection Remove any paint and connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw. (Screws tend to either strip or loosen with time.) We recommend grounding all your components, including the siren, to the same point in the vehicle.
  • Page 15 H1/10 WHITE/BLUE (-) remote start activation input This input comes from the factory set to 2 activation pulses. This means that it is necessary to have 2 consecu- tive ground pulses on the white/blue wire for the remote start to activate or to deactivate. The same holds true for the remote control activation when set to a two pulse setting it is necessary to press the button twice for the remote start to activate or deactivate.

If the light flash polarity jumper is moved to the opposite position (see Internal Programming Jumpers section), this wire supplies a (-)200 mA output. This is available for driving (-) light control wires in Toyota, Lexus, BMW, some Mitsubishi, some Mazda, and various other models.
