PLEASE READ ENTIRE MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Ready Start! Remote Car Starter. The Ready Start! Remote Car Starter system allows you to start the car by remote control
from the comfort of your home or office in order to cool it down in the summer or heat it up in the winter. Ready Start! is an extremely sophisticated system with
multiple built-in safety and security features.
Ready Start! is for automatic transmission/fuel injected vehicles only (a special "carburetor kit" is required for older carbureted vehicles). Ready Start! has a
built-in transponder security bypass system. However, additional parts may be required for certain vehicles (please see pages 8-10 for information on factory anti-
theft systems).
• Will start your car by remote control from up to 1,000 feet away, and run
the heater, defroster, or air conditioner to warm up or cool down the car.
• Is designed to start the car if it is in park, and only if the hood is
closed.
• Has Lock, Unlock and Trunk Pop keyless entry features.
• Will attempt to start the car for up to six seconds, but no longer (to avoid
damage to the starter motor). Should the car not start, or if it stalls after
starting, the remote starter will make two further attempts to start it.
• Has alarm functions including starter kill which becomes active when the
doors are locked with the remote control.
• Will not let the car be driven without the key in the ignition.
• Shuts itself off automatically after 10 or 15 minutes (programmable) if
you forget to come out to your car.
