AND VIRTUAL TACH SYSTEM
(AS PRG1000 COMPATIBLE)
Installation Guide
AS-6450TW-FM, PS-7450TW-FM, EX-6450TW-FM
Notice
The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any electrical damage resulting from improper installation of
the product, be that either damage to the vehicle itself or to the unit. This unit must be installed by a certified
technician using all safety devices supplied. Please note that this guide has been written for properly trained
technicians: a certain level of skills and knowledge is therefore assumed. Please review the Installation Guide
carefully before beginning any work.
Warning
Before installing the unit, if installing on a vehicle with a manual transmission, test that the OEM Door Switch
contacts of the vehicle work well, and that the Parking Brake system operates properly. If installing on a vehicle
with an automatic transmission, test that the vehicle does not start when the gearshift lever is in the "Drive"
position. If it starts in gear, install a manual transmission remote starter system instead.

Page 6: A Basic Introduction To The Relay
A basic introduction to the Relay What is a relay? A relay is a switching device that responds to a small current or voltage change by activating switches or other devices in an electric circuit such as an electromagnetic switch, remote controlled switch, a switching device. Why are relays used? Relays can have several purposes in remote car starter installations. - Page 7 A closer look at a relay Now that you know what the main inscriptions are on the relay, take a look on the side, and you will see another inscription: 12 VDC, 40/ 30 A. 12 VDC: This indicates the coil voltage rating. For an automotive relay, it's usually 12 volts DC. 40/ 30 A: This indicates the current carrying capability of the contacts 30, 87, &...
- Page 8 Comments: When the relay is at rest, the OEM park light wire is connected (through 87A & 30) and allowed to operate normally. When the remote start module powers the park lights, the OEM park light wire is opened, and power from the remote start module is sent only to the actual parking lights ( from 87 through 30).

Page 9: Clutch Bypass
30: Connects to the vehicle's trunk release wire. Comments: At rest the relay is not active and the vehicle's trunk release switch is allowed to operate normally. When the trunk release button is pressed, the start module's trunk release output activates the relay. The ground signal is sent from 87 through 30 to the vehicle's trunk release wire activating the switch and opening the trunk. -
Page 10: Harness Description
Positive: Very similar to the negative system, except that the vehicle's clutch relay is trigger by 12 volts, instead of a negative signal. In a Positive system, when the clutch is pressed; a positive (12 volts) signal is sent to the relay, the relay energizes, when the Key is turned to the start position the 12 volts from the start wire is allowed to pass through the relay and to starter motor. -

6Pin Main Ignition Harnes Wire Description Connect to the largest 12 V supply wire at the Ignition harness. Ensure that the OEM power wire is fused for more than 30 A. NOTE: certain new vehicles have no suitable 12 volts source at the +12 V IGNITION switch (the 12 Volt wire is too small to supply the necessary Battery... -
Page 12: 12-Pin Accessories Harness
Wire Description This wire tells the Module if the Engine is running or not. It requires at least 1.8 volts (AC) and 1.5 Hz (or faster) at idle. Common Tach references are: the negative side of an injector, the negative side of an PURPLE Ignition Coil, Camshaft sensor, Crankshaft sensor or the Engine Control (AC) - Page 13 Wire Description This input should be used in vehicles that use a positive-switching Dome Light circuit. Connect to a Dome Light wire testing +12 V with a BLUE / Door open. WHITE CAUTION! You can only use either the NEGATIVE DOOR INPUT or Positive the POSITIVE DOOR INPUT wire.

configuration requires changes afterwards, a complete reset will be necessary before those changes become effective. To install this unit in a vehicle with a manual transmission: Make sure the Yellow loop on the PC board is connected. Connect the Orange handbrake wire located on the 12-pin harness to the vehicle handbrake switch. -

Page 23: Arming And Disarming Of The System
Arming and disarming of the System The Alarm can be configured by the installer either to Passive Mode (so as to arm automatically) or Active Mode (so as to require the user’s intervention for arming). By default, the Remote Car Starter is configured to Passive Mode Passive mode: To arm the alarm, press the button on the transmitter, OR... -
Page 24: Secure Lock
Secure Lock This feature allows the module to control certain OEM factory alarm systems without requiring the use of other wires for disarming the OEM alarm. (Namely, this feature is designed for OEM systems that use the factory lock wire to arm the alarm and the unlock wire to disarm it.) Standard Secure Lock disabled: By default, the unit will send a disarm pulse before IGN, an arm pulse once the car is remote started and an arm pulse 4 sec after the engine shuts down. -

To take the system into home valet mode: Press the button. Within 3 seconds, press the buttons simultaneously until the remote beeps twice. To take the system out of home valet mode: • Turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position. The system will warn you if someone attempts to start your vehicle while it stands in home valet mode. -
Page 26: Turbo Mode
Caution!!! Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle standing in Idle Mode. Turbo Mode If Turbo Mode is configured at installation, it will allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the vehicle: the unit will take over the vehicle and keep it running for 60 seconds (or until it is shut down by remote control), then shut down the engine. -
