INSTALLER WARNINGS 

This Remote Starter with Alarm System is designed to be installed on fuel injected vehicles with an 

automatic transmission ONLY. 

m Never install this remote starter on a manual transmission vehicle. 

m This system must be installed and wired through a safety switch it will not start in any forward or reverse 
gear. 

m Some automatic transmission vehicle [mainly older GM vehicles with a purple starter wire] have a 
mechanical-type park safety switch instead of electrical safety switch. The mechanical type does not 
interrupt the starter circuit when the transmission is any gear and does not offer the 10096 level of safety 
required for remote starting purposes. Therefore, our system should never be installed on any vehicle that 
uses a mechanical type park safety switch. 

m Once you install this system, you must verify that the vehicle will not start any forward or reverse gear. 
Regardless of the type of vehicle. 

m Read operation manual for operating and programming routine. 

m Do not install any component near the brake, gas pedal or steering linkage. 

m Some vehicles have a factory installed transponder immobilizer system that can severely complicate the 
installation. There is possibility that this system can not be installed on some immobilizer equipped 
vehicles. 

m Most vehicles have an SRS air bag system. Use extreme care and do not probe any wires of the SRS 
system. 

m Disconnect the car battery before connecting work on the vehicle. 

m Check behind panels before drilling any holes. Ensure that no wiring harness or other components are 
located behind the panels that would otherwise be damaged. 

m Use conventional crimp lock, bullet on any wiring. Poor wiring, i.e. taped joints will possibly introduce 
unreliability into the alarm system and may result in false alarms or incorrect operation. 

m Install wiring neatly under carpets or behind trim to prevent possible damage to wires. 

m For the wire operates the current more than 10A. We suggest soldering all connection point. Do not use 
crimp lock type connectors or wire nuts.

FEB.20, 2003 


Keep wiring away from moving engine parts, exhaust pipes and high-tension cable. Tape wires that pass 
through holes on the firewall to prevent fraying. Watches out sharp edges that may damage wires and 
causes short circuit. 

CAUTION: Do not connect the wire harness to the control module until all wiring to vehicle is complete. 


H1: 6 PINHEAVY GAUGE WIRING CONNECTIONS: 
Remember that the system does to start a vehicle is duplicate the functions of the ignition key switch! Below, 
we will explain the three basic functions of the ignition switch. Since this installation will require analysis of 
the ignition switch functions, we recommend making the three connections below at the ignition switch 
harness directly. 
H1/1 Violet wire — Starter Output — 
Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from starting 
while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral Start Switch 
will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation method. In addition you will 
realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all mechanical switch configurations. 
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage. 
In all installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and assure 
that the vehicle can not start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral. 
In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations; the connection of the VIOLET wire 
will be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire has +12 volts 
when the ignition switch is turned to the "START" (CRANK) position only. This wire have O volts in all other 
ignition switch positions. 
NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the 
electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay 
(when used) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram. 
Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the neutral safety switch can result in personal 
injury and property damage. SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

(When Used) 


H1/2 & H1/3 Red wire — * 12V Power Input — 
Remove the two 20A fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not replace them until the satellite has 
been plugged into the control module. These wires are the source of current for all the circuits the relay 
satellite will energize. They must be connected to a high current source. Since the factory supplies (*) 12V 
to the key switch that is used to operate the motor, it is recommended that these wires be connected 
there. 
Note: If the factory supplies two separate (+) 12V feeds to the ignition switch, connect one RED wire of the 
satellite to each feed at the switch. 

H1/4 Yellow wire — Ignition Output — 
Connect the YELLOW wire to the ignition wire from the ignition switch. The ignition wire should receive "12 
volts" when the ignition key is in the "ON" or "RUN" and "START" or “CRANK” position. When the ignition 
is turned "OFF", the ignition wire should receive "0" voltage. The YELLOW wire must be connected. 

H1/5 Pink wire — Ignition 2 Output 
Some vehicles have [2] ignition wires that must be power. Connect the PINK wire to the ignition 2 wire 
from the ignition switch. The ignition wire should receive "12 volts" when the ignition key is in the "ON" or 
"RUN" and "START" or "CRANK" position. When the ignition is turned "OFF", the ignition wire should 
receive "0" voltage. If the PINK wire is not used, cap the end of the wire. 

H1/6 Brown wire — Accessory Output (Heater /ACC Output) — 
Connect the BROWN wire to the accessory wire in the vehicle that powers the climate control system. 
An accessory wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the “ACCESSORY” or "ON" 
and "RUN" positions, and will show 0 Volts when the key is turned to the “OFF” and “START” or “CRANK” 
position. There will often be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct accessory 
wire will power the vehicle's climate control system. Some vehicle may have separate wires for the blower 
motor and the air conditioning compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to power the 
Second accessory wire. 


RST872 7 


FEB.20, 2003 


H2: 5 PIN WIRE HARNESS: 
H2/1 Red / White wire — Parking Light Relay Power Input — 


The RED/WHITE wire is the input to the flashing parking light relay. The connection of the RED/WHITE 
wire will determine the output polarity of the flashing parking light relay. 

If the vehicle you are working on has +12volt switched parking light, you don't need connect this wire. This 
wire already connected to +12 volt. 

If the vehicle's parking light are ground switched, cut the RED/WHITE wire, connect the RED/WHITE wire 
to chassis ground. 


H2/2 White wire — Parking Light Relay Output (10A power output) — 


Connect the WHITE wire to the parking light wire coming from the headlight switch. Do not connect the 
WHITE wire to the dashboard lighting dimmer switch. (Damage to the dimmer will result). The limitation of 
the WHITE wire is 10 AMP max. Do not exceed this limit or damage to the alarm and parking relay will 
result. 


H2/3 Black wire — System Ground — 


This is main ground connection of the alarm module. Make this connection to a solid section of the vehicle 
frame. Do not connect this wire to any existing ground wires supplied by the factory wire loom, make the 
connection to the vehicle's frame directly. 


H2/4 Brown wire — Siren Drive Output — (See Alarm Feature Il - 4 Programming) 


This is the positive (+) output connection for the siren. Current capacity is 2 amps. Make connection to 
the (+) red wire from the siren. Make the (-) black wire coming from the siren to a good chassis ground. 


H2/5 Red wire — System Power (*12V Constant) — 


The RED wire supplies power to the system. Connect this wire to a constant +12 volt source. 


H3. BLACK 4-PIN CONNECTOR. — TWO-WAY TRANSCEIVER/ANTENNA MODULE

- Remove the protective tape backing. 

- Carefully align the two-way transceiver/antenna and apply to windshield. 

- Route the black connector wire behind the trim and connect to the two-way transceiver/antenna. 

- Connect the other end to the control module. 

- Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metallic 
shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the two ways 
transceiver/antenna module away from metallic shielded window glass as far as possible. 


H4. 3-PIN BROWN CONNECTOR FOR OPTIONAL PAGING (KNOCK) SENSOR 


The optional Paging (Knock) Sensor can be add on. 


1. 


2. 


Detach the protecting paper from the double-sided adhesive tape and attach one side of the 
double-sided adhesive tape to the bottom part of the Paging (Knock) Sensor. 

After cleansing the area around left bottom part of the front window so that it stays attached firmly, the 
Paging Sensor should be attached on the front window so that the side on which a sticker with a printed 
words "Tap Here Paging Driver" is attached face outward. 

Hide the wire by carefully pushing it inside the space of the front window's mold trim. 

Adjust the sensitivity of the Paging Sensor, If you turn the tuning screw at the center of the Paging 
Sensor clockwise, the sensitivity goes sharp and if turned counter-clockwise, the sensitivity goes dull. 


H5: 9 PIN MINI BLACK INPUT WIRE CONNECTORS: 
H5/1 White / Black wire — Negative Safety Shut Down Input — 


The WHITE/BLACK wire provides an instant shutdown 

for the remote start, whenever it is grounded. Connect Hood Pin Switch 
the wire to the hood pin switch previously installed. This == 
wire must be routed though a grommet in the firewall 

and connected to the hood pin switch. If the pin switch

Important! This connection is a safety wire and must be connected as shown and tested as specifiled. 
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage. See detail of wiring in the following 
diagram. This wire may also be used if the vehicle brake light circuit switches ground to the brake lights. 
An isolation diode must be used for ground switched brake light circuits and must be connected to the 
output of the brake switch. 
H5/2 White / Violet wire — Positive Safety Shut Down Input — 
This wire provides an instant shutdown for the remote switch closes 
start, whenever it gets +12volts. If the brake lights switch When brake is 
in the vehicle switches +12 volts to the brake light circuit, depress 
connect this wire to the output side of the brake switch. ш 
This will allow the remote start to shut down if an attempt 
is made to operate the vehicle without the key while 
running under the control of the remote start. In most 
vehicles, in order to shift gear, the brake pedal must be 
depressed. The brake input will in turn cause the remote 
start unit to shut off. See below diagram. 


H5/3 Black/White wire — (-) Remote Start Enable Toggle Switch Input — 
— (-) Neutral Safety Switch Input — 

When the BLACK/WHITE wire is grounded, the remote start unit is operable. When this wire is open from 

ground, the remote start is disable. 

1. The optional "remote start toggle switch" can be added on to temporarily disable the Remote Start 
Device, it can prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This feature is useful if the 
vehicle is being serviced or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move the optional 
remote start enable toggle switch to the OFF position. To enable the remote start, move the optional 
remote start enable toggle switch to the ON position. 

2. If needed, This wire can connect to the PARK/NEUTRAL switch in the vehicle. (See the TESTING 
YOUR INSTALLATION GUIDE) 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Directly connect the BLACK/WHITE wire to the *GROUND" when this wire is 

not used. 

H5/4 Blue wire — Ground Instant Trigger Input (Zone 2) – 

This wire is the ground trigger input wire for hood/trunk pin switches. 

H5/5 White / Green wire — (-) Diesel Wait — To - Start Input —(See Start Feature І - 1 Programming) 

In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that on the WAIT-TO-START light in the 

dashboard. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle's glow plugs are properly heated. When the light 

goes out the vehicle can be started. This wire is always at the connector leading to the bulb in the 
dashboard. It can also be found at the Engine Control Module (ECM) in many vehicles. 

To test and determine the polarity of this wire: 

. Set your multi-meter to DVC or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 

. Attach the (+) probe of the meter to (+) 12V. 

. Probe the wire that you suspect leads to the bulb with the (-) probe of the meter. 

. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. 

. If the meter indicates 12 volts until the light goes out you have isolated the connect wire and the wire's 
polarity is negative (ground while the bulb is on). 

6. If the meter reads zero volts until the light goes out and then reads 12 volts, you have isolated the 

connect wire and the wire's polarity is positive. 

Connect this wire to the wire in the vehicle that sends the signal to turn on the WAIT-TO-START bulb in 

the dashboard. In most diesels the wire is negative (ground turns on the bulb) and this wire can be directly 

connected to the wire in the vehicle. If the vehicles use a positive wire (12V to turn the bulb) a relay must 


be used to change the polarity.

H5/6 Green wire — Negative Door Switch Sensing Input (Zone 3) — 
This wire is the ground trigger input wire for negative door pin switch. This wire is connection for 
"grounding" type factory door pins locate the "common wire" that connects the door pin switches. Make 
the connection of the GREEN Wire here. 


RST872 9 


FEB.20, 2003 


H5/7 Violet wire — Positive Door Switch Sensing Input (Zone 3)- 

This wire is the positive trigger input wire for positive door pin switch. This wire is connection for "positive" 
type factory door pins(typical FORD MOTOR). Locate the "common wire" for all door pins and make the 
connection of the VIOLET Wire here. 

H5/8 White / Blue wire — (-) Instant Start & Turn Off Input —-(See Start Feature I - 7 Programming) 
This wires activates and turns off the remote starter each time it sees a momentary ground signal. 
Normally only used for testing during installation or when activating the module from an after-market 
system. 

H5/9 White / Red wire — Tachometer Signal Connection — 

Note: You should connect this wire if you program the Start Feature Il — 2 to “Tachometer checking type", 
otherwise not to connect this wire and tap the end. 

Note: No connection of this wire is required, if you use the voltage or timer checking type mode. 

This input provides the remote start system with information about the engine's revolutions per minute 

(RPM). It can be connected to the negative side of the coil in vehicle with conventional coils. In multi-coil 

and high energy ignition system locating a proper signal may be more difficult. Once connected, 

To test for a tachometer wire, a multi-meter capable of test AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire 

will show between 1V and 6V AC at idle, and will increase as engine RPM increases. In multi-coil ignition 

system, the system can learn individual coil wire. Individual coil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will 

register lower amounts of AC voltage. Also, if necessary, the system can use a fuel injector control wire for 

engine speed sensing. Common locations for a tachometer wire are the ignition coil itself, the back of the 

gauges, engine computers, and automatic transmission computers. 

IMPORTANT! Do not test tachometer wires with a test light or logic probe. The vehicle will be damaged. 

How to find a tachometer wire with your multi-meter 

1. Set the ACV or AC voltage (12V or 20V is fine.) 

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. 

3. Start and run the vehicle. 

4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of the meter. 

5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V.

If the vehicle has transponder system installed, you will need to by-pass the system while the vehicle is 
operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. To do this: 
1.You will need a transponder key that's already programmed to the vehicle. 
2.Remove the trim around the ignition switch. 
3.Wrap a thin (28 - 30awg) wire tightly around ignition switch 6 to 8 times and secure it. 
4.About 6"down line make another loop of approximately 2"diameter. 
5.Place the key inside this loop and secure it to the loop. 
6. Connect on end of the (28 - 30awg) wire to pin (87) of the relay module. 
7. Connect the other end of the loop wire to Pin (30) of relay module. 
8. Connect the pin (86) of the relay module to the ignition wire from the ignition switch.

GM VATS KEY OVERRIDE: 

If the vehicle has the General Motor VATS system installed, you will need to by-pass the system while the 

vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. To do this: 

1. Measure the resistance of the resistor pellet on the ignition key then select a resistor within 596 of the 
key's value. 

2. Locate the pair of VATS wires in the vehicle, usually a pair of thin gauge wires running from the ignition 
Switch to the VATS control module. 

3. Connect the YELLOW wire from Remote Start Unit to TERMINAL #85 of an external relay. Connect 
terminal #86 of the relay to a fused +12 volt. 

4. Cut (#1) wire (as shown), and connect the ignition switch side of the cut wire to terminal 487a of the 
relay. Connect the other side of the (#1) wire to terminal #30. 

5. Connect the previously selseced resistor from terminal #87 to the second(#2) wire (as shown).

TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION: 


Caution!! The follow procedure must be performed after the installation of the Remote Start Device. It is the 

responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests. Failure to test the unit in the following 

manner may result in personal injury, property damage, or both. 

1. Test the BRAKE shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in park (P), start the vehicle using the remote 
transmitter, Once the engine is running, press the brake pedal. The vehicle should shut down immediately. 
If the vehicle continues to run, check the brake circuit WHITE/ VIOLET wire (H5/2) connection. 

2. Test the HOOD PIN shutdown circuit: Start the vehicle using the remote transmitter, Once the engine is 
running, pull the hood release and raise the hood. The vehicle should shut down immediately. If the 
vehicle continues to run, check the hood pin WHITE/ BLACK wire (H5/1) connection. 


3. NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST: 
1. Set the vehicle parking brake. 
2. Block the drive wheels to prevent vehicle movement. 
3. Sitting in the vehicle, turn the ignition switch to "ON" or "RUN" position. But do not start the engine. 
4. Step on the brake pedal and shift the gear selector into "DRIVE" (D). 
5. Put your foot over the brake pedal but do not press down on it. Be ready to step on the brake to shut 


down the Remote Start Device. 

6. Start the vehicle using remote transmitter. 

a. If the starter does not engage, the test is complete. 

b. If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake pedal to shut down the system, recheck your 
VIOLET wire (H1/1 starter output wire) connection. The heavy gauge VIOLET wire must be 
connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. If the vehicle you are working on 
does not have an Electrical Neutral Safety Switch, it will be necessary to reconfigure the Remote 
Starts Wiring to accommodate this vehicle. The information concerning the Mechanical Neutral Safety 
Switch provided below will help you to determine if the vehicle you are working on has this type of 
safety switch and will provide alternate wiring methods to accommodate this situation. 


MECHANICAL NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH CONSIDERATIONS: 

Mechanical neutral safety switch configurations differ slightly in that they do not offer the same level of safety 
when installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear selector is in 
any position other than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow the key to be turned to the start 
position or be removed from the ignition cylinder. This configuration prevents mechanical operation while the 
vehicle is in gear but offers no consideration for electrical operation. Because of this potential problem, this 
installation requires the additional connection of a safety wire from the remote start device to the vehicle 
PARK/NEUTRAL ECM input or the vehicle key in sensor. This connection will prevent remote start operation 
if the key is left in the ignition switch regardless of the gear selector position. 

PARK/NEUTRAL ECM INPUT: 


RST872 23 


FEB.20, 2003 


The Park/Neutral ECM input is the preferred method of installation. This not only maintains the integrity of 

the factory circuit, it is also the easiest to install, providing the vehicle you are working on has this ECM 

input. 

The installation required for this application (shown below), indicates in the slight reconfiguration of the 

control switch wiring. Shown is a typical GM Park/Neutral ECM input circuit. To connect the Remote Start 

unit to the GM Park/Neutral ECM input: 

1. Locate the Orange/Black reference wire in the “C2” connector found at the ECM in GM B Body vehicles 
or, locate the equivalent reference wire in the vehicle you are installing the Remote Start Unit in. 

2. Connect the BLACK/WHITE Neutral Safety Switch wire (H5/3) to this reference wire. 

NOTE: If the optional remote starts enable toggle switch is installed, connect the one side the enable switch 

to this reference wire and connect the other side of the enable switch to the BLACK/WHITE Neutral Safety 

Switch wire (H5/3) of the Remote Start unit. 

The reference diagram below shows a typical GM B Body ECM reference wire and how it is to be connected 

to the Remote Start Unit.

KEY IN SENSOR CIRCUITS: 

If the vehicle you are working on does not have or you cannot locate the ECM reference wire, there are two 
alternatives available. Although not preferred, the vehicle Key In Sensor may be reconfigured to allow a 
margin of safety and will prevent the vehicle with a Mechanical Neutral Start Switch from starting in gear. 
WE ADVISES THAT YOU MAINTAIN THE FACTORY CIRCUIT WHENEVER POSSIBLE. The following two 
circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available. 

NOTE: When completing an installation using either of the following key in sensor circuits, if the operator 
inserts the ignition key while the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start, the vehicle will shut 
down. This must be explained to the operator as it is in contrast to the normal operation of a vehicle utilizing 
an electrical neutral start switch and is inconsistent with the operators manual. 

Additional information concerning Key in Sensor methods 1&2 are listed below and should be reviewed 
before considering either alternative. 

Method 1 will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting while in 
any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, if the key is left in the 
ignition switch and the door is left opened, the added relay will be energized causing a 150mA drain on the 
battery. 

Method 2 will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting while in 
any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, the original factory key 
in chime module will not alert the owner that the key has been left in the ignition switch. In addition, this may 
also effect other warning tones such as the light on reminder. 

These situations should be carefully considered before altering the vehicle's wiring and must be fully 
explained to the consumer.
