TRANSMITTER CODE LEARNING

All AutoStart transmitters do not come pre-
programmed. They must be "CODE LEARNED" at
the time of installation. The unit will hold up to 4
transmitter codes in memory.
To program a new transmitter:
1. Raise the Hood.
2. Turn Valet switch "OFF".
3. Turn Ignition "ON".
4. Turn Valet switch "ON".
(Parking lights SHOULD turn ON for 5
seconds)
5. Press LOCK on transmitter within 5 seconds of
step 4. (Parking lights will flash 5 times fast,
and 2 times slow)
6. Turn Ignition OFF and close the Hood.
NOTE: STOP button on 1205 has NO function.
MULTI CAR OPERATION (Only available on
AS-1203/1204/ 1205 & 1214)
*To program transmitter to second vehicle for
multi-car operation, you must press TRUNK on
the transmitter in step 5 of transmitter code
learning.
(See above for Transmitter code learning)
The AS-1203/1204/1205/1214 systems have the
multi-car operation feature.
This allows the owner of two AutoStart systems in
two of his/her vehicles to control both systems with
one transmitter. (Both vehicles must be equipped
with an AS-1203/1204/1205/1214.
The remote transmitter of the primary vehicle can
control the starter disable system, the door locks,
and the remote car starter and trunk operation of the
second vehicle.
The remote transmitter of the second vehicle can
also operate the primary vehicle.
TACH ADJUSTMENTS
AutoStart systems have two methods of fine-tuning
the Tach signal that are generated from the vehicle,
the first method is manual Tach searching and
setting, and the second is automatic Tach searching
and setting. Either method can be used, however the
automatic Tach searching is recommended. Tach
adjustment procedures should be done every
time a new unit is installed. This is because the
Tach signals from some ignition systems can
sometimes be too high or too low, thus causing
failed starts under different temperatures.
The procedures for Tach adjustment are as
follows:
1. Hold pin-switch (Hood switch) down for 4
seconds.
2. Release pin-switch. Parking lights should come
ON.
3. With Parking lights ON, immediately press and
release pin-switch again.
4. Parking lights will stay ON for up to 20 seconds.
(If not repeat from step 1)
5. With Parking lights ON press TRUNK of remote
transmitter. (Parking lights will flash 1 to 7
times)
6. Start the vehicle using the key.
7. If Parking lights stays ON, then you have
selected an incorrect Tach wire. (Relocate Tach
wire and start from step 1) If Parking lights go
OFF then proceed to the next step.
8. Allow vehicle to reach regular engine idle speed,
then press and release brakes. (Parking lights
will flash appropriate setting, from 1 to 7
flashes)
9. Press TRUNK of remote transmitter, to save
setting. (Parking lights will flash one long flash)
NOTE: A manual adjustment should only be done
if the auto setting is not completing the crank
cycle properly in cold weather.
