PURPLE/WHITE TACH INPUT Locate the vehicle’s ignition coil or fuel injector in the engine compartment. Verification: Test using the following procedure: 1. Set voltmeter to AC VOLTS. 2. Attach positive lead of a volt meter to a constant 12-volt source. 3.
3 Pin Parking Light Harness BLACK GROUND Connect the BLACK wire to a solid chassis ground point using a ring terminal and self tapping screw (not supplied). Scrape away paint from the grounding point to ensure a good connection. The recommended grounding point is a metal surface in the driver’s side kick panel area.
6 Pin Start Harness PURPLE STARTER OUTPUT ( + ) Locate the vehicle starter wire. Verification: This wire registers voltage only when the key is turned to the START position. Verification: The starter wire registers voltage when the key is turned to the START position.

BATTERY 12V ( + ) Locate 1 of the vehicle’s constant 12 Volt battery wires at the ignition switch. Verification: This wire will register ( + ) voltage in all positions of the ignition switch. Connect the RED wire to the constant 12 Volt battery wire. NOTE: Remove all fuses until all connections are made.

GREEN/WHITE FACTORY ARM / PULSE AFTER SHUTDOWN ( - ) This wire will supply a ( - ) 500mA pulse both upon arming the system and after the remote start shuts down. This is typically used to re-lock the vehicle’s doors if they unlock upon remote start shutdown.
Additional Ports Antenna Port Mount the supplied antenna/receiver to a clear spot on the vehicle's windshield that will not block the driver's vision. A good location is usually high on the windshield near the rear view mirror. Be careful not to mount the antenna/receiver on any metallic window film, as this will effect system range.
Set Up & Programming Transmitter Programming - Feature Bank 1 - 3 chirps 1. Turn the ignition ON. 2. Press and hold the valet/override button. 3. Within 10 seconds the system will chirp (3) three times. 4. Press 1 button of each transmitter you wish to program. 5.
Feature Bank 1 - 3 Chirps Transmitter Programming Refer to transmitter programming. Feature set not available on this model. 2009 Audiovox Electronics Corporation. All rights reserved.
Tach Programming The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed or tachless option is turned ON. If an attempt is made to start the vehicle via the remote start without first programming tach, the unit will flash the parking lights 7 times indicating tach has not been learned and stored.

Feature Bank 3 - Output Control 1 - Extended Lock Pulse: Controls the timing of the BLUE and GREEN lock output wires. 1 Second - Single 1 second unlock pulse. 3.5 Seconds - Single 3.5 second unlock pulse. Double Pulse Unlock - Double 1second unlock pulse. Feature Bank 4 - Remote Start Control 2 - Run Time: Controls the time in minutes that the vehicle will stay running under control of the remote start until the system times out.

5 - Voltage Level: The voltage variance for remote start when set to tachless. (see tach mode) HIGH - The variance in battery voltage from before the remote start is activated to after the engine is running must be greater than 0.5 volts. LOW - The variance in battery voltage from before the remote start is activated to after the engine is running may be less than 0.5 volts.
