Control Module, Hood PIN Switch | Audiovox APS57 manual

This Remote Start/Keyless Entry System is designed for use with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The unit provides wait to start input for glow plug pre-heat which will be used for all diesel applications. If this wire is not connected, then the unit will remain in the Gasoline mode setting, which will crank the car when the RF signal is received with no delay. Regardless of the vehicle, Gasoline or Diesel, for every installation, the vehicle MUST

HAVE a Tach Signal Input, and an Automatic Transmission.

INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:

CONTROL MODULE:

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin main wiring harness. Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen location using cable ties or screws as necessary.

NOTE: Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.

HOOD PIN SWITCH:

The hood pin switch included in this package is required for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This hood pin switch MUST be installed in all applications. Failure to install the hood pin switch may result in personal injury or property damage. Mount the hood pin switch in an area under the hood that is away from water drain paths. If necessary, the included brackets may be used to move the hood pin switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In either case the hood pin switch must be set up to allow the hood to depress the switch at least 1/4" when the hood is closed and fully extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4" hole must be drilled. Carefully check behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the hood pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the hood pin switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.

PUSH-BUTTON LED SWITCH

Select a mounting location known and accessible to the operator of the vehicle. A dash knockout plug or front dash panel is desirable as the now Push-Button LED assembly needs the LED to be visible from the outside of the vehicle and will be used for valet modes, programming features, programming transmitters, and for overriding the remote start unit when the vehicle is being serviced. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 5/16" or 8mm hole in the desired location and mount the switch by passing the connectors, one at a time, through the panel from the front side and pressing on the bezel until the switch is fully seated.

The Remote Start System is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combina- tion Keyless Entry/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and property damage.
