This Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission-Fuel Injection
Vehicles Only! The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a number of selectable timed outputs
for glow plug preheat in addition to a "Wait To Start Input" either of which may be required for certain diesel
vehicles, (see selectable feature #11 Bank 3 & or Green/Yellow Wire). If the diesel engine has a instant fire, (no
glow plug preheat system), feature #11 of Bank 3 should remain in the default Gasoline mode setting. For
diesel applications, consult your dealer for the type of ignition system used in your particular vehicle.
Regardless of the vehicle, Gasoline or Diesel, for every installation, the vehicle MUST HAVE a Tach
Signal Input, Automatic Transmission and Fuel Injection.
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.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
SIREN:
Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected
location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed
downward to prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away from and out of the engine
compartment for maximum sound distribution. Before securing the siren, check behind your chosen
location to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the
siren mounting bracket using #8 self tapping screws or by first using the mounting bracket as a template,
scribe or mark the mounting holes. Drill the marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, then mount the siren using
#8 sheet metal screws.
HOOD PIN SWITCH:
The pin switche included in this package is intended for protecting the hood area of the vehicle. In all
cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is activated, (hood
open), it will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the hood switch 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 switch must be
installed in all applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage.
Mount the switch in a location away from water drain paths. If necessary, an optional bracket may be
used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In
both cases the switch must be set up to allow the hood to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the
hood is closed and fully extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch 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 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 pin
switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.
