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 taping 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.

THE PUSH-BUTTON/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY:

The Spread Spectrum Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the

dash board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle

for best reception. 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 antenna toward a rear window location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape

provided. After securing the antenna with tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to

a fixed support. This will prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed

to extreme heat which may loosen it's gummed surface. Route the 6 pin connector toward the control

module using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control

module.

SHOCK SENSOR:

Select a centrally located, solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consistent operation

from all areas of the vehicle. The selected location must be within 18" of the control module to allow

routing and connecting of the 4 pin harness. Secure the shock sensor to the chosen location using two #8

self tapping sheet metal screws. The sensor can also be secured to an existing dash brace using cable

tie straps. Whichever mounting method is used be sure to allow access to the sensitivity adjustment

potentiometer for use later in the installation.

STARTER INHIBIT RELAY:

Select a mounting location within 12" of the ignition switch's low current start solenoid wire. Secure the

relay to an existing harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relay's wiring harness.

CAUTION! Do not wire tie the metal bracket to an existing wiring harness as vibration may cause

chaffing and shorting damaging the factory wiring. If an existing harness is not available then

secure the relay's metal mounting tab to an under dash metal brace with a #8 self tapping

sheet metal screw. Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual.

This unit is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combination

Alarm/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. IMPORTANT!

DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS

INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE.

AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE

BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.

Note: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness. Fuses must be used and located

as close as possible to the power source for adequate protection of the vehicle.

128-8843a

WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS:

Note: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness. Fuses must be

used and located as close as possible to the power source for adequate protec-

tion of the vehicle.

Fused RED w/ WHITE TRACE WIRE: + 12 volt Battery 1 Source

Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all positions

of the ignition switch. Connect the Red w/White wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire provides power for the

control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and ignition 2 relays.

Fused RED WIRE: + 12 Volt Battery 2 Source

Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all positions

of the ignition switch. Connect the Red wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire provides power for the start relay

and the accessory relay.

IMPORTANT!

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLING TECHNICIAN TO DETERMINE THE LOAD FACTOR OF THE

VEHICLES ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND TO ADEQUATELY FUSE THE TWO

POWER WIRES BASED ON THAT LOAD. IF THE VEHICLE, RUNNING UNDER LOAD WITH THE AIR CONDI-

TIONER, HEATER BLOWER MOTOR, AND ACCESSORIES EXCEEDS 24 AMPS CONTINUOUS, WE RECOMMEND

THAT TWO FUSES BE USED IN COMBINATION ON EACH POWER WIRE AS SHOWN BELOW. FOR ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION SEE TECH UPDATE ISSUED 9/30/96.

YELLOW 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 installa-

tion 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 ensure

that the vehicle cannot 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 Yellow wire will

be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 volts

when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 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 of the neutral safety switch can result in

personal injury and property damage.

SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

WIRING THE 4 PIN ALTERNATE IGNITION HARNESS

ORANGE/BLACK Wire: Parking Brake Input

This wire is used only when the turbo timer mode, Bank 3, feature # 16 is selected ON. This input insures

that the vehicle parking brake is applied whenever the vehicle is set up for and the turbo timer circuit is used.

This input must switch to ground when the vehicle's parking brake is applied. Connect the Orange/Black wire

to the negative output of the vehicle's parking brake switch.

RED/BLACK Wire: + 12 Volts Input

Note: The Red/Black and Pink are dry contacts and may be used for negative switching when necessary.

Connecting the Red/Black to chassis ground will result in Pink being ground when the R/S is activated.

This input is to be connected to a separate, (Other than the wire Red or Red/White is connected to), constant

on + 12 volt source which will supply + 12 volt power to the additional ignition output, (Pink), wire. Connect

this wire to a separate + 12 Volt source.

PINK Wire: Additional Ignition Output

This wire can be used as an additional + 12 Volt ignition output supplied by the Red/Black wire. This output

can be selected to be on or off during the start cycle. (See feature bank 3 selection # 8) Connect this wire

to the third ignition circuit in the vehicle and set the selectable feature # 8 of Bank 3 according to the way

in which the vehicle's ignition switch operates.

Note: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness. Fuses must be

used and located as close as possible to the power source for adequate pro-

tection of the vehicle.

Siren Wiring Detail

(-) TO VEHICLE'S CHASSIS GROUND

TO WHITE w/BLACK WIRE OF MODULE

Purple Wire: (+) Door Trigger Input

If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches + 12 volts when the door is opened, (Some Fords and some

Imports), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In

most cases, the Purple wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors

the vehicle has as most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel. This wire will be shunted when remote

starting the vehicle and will remain shunted, if active, while running under command of the remote start. If

this wire is active when the system is armed, the siren will emit three chirps. When the zone clears, the

siren will emit 1 chirp to confirm full arming. See below for wiring details.

Note for vehicles with interior delay lighting see programming under title "Completing The Installation".

Positive Door Switch Wiring Detail

Dark Green Wire: (-) Instant Trigger Input

This is the instant on ground trigger input wire. This wire must be connected to the hood and trunk pin

switches previously installed.

NOTE: This wire will be shunted when remote control channel 3 is accessed, (trunk release). This wire

will remain shunted all the while there is ground present and for 5 seconds after the ground is removed.

This allows the operator to open the trunk via the remote transmitter without having to first disarm the

alarm system. See below for wiring detail.

Hood Pin Switch Detail

Light Blue Wire: Ground Output While Running Under Remote Start Control

This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start

Unit initializes and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start

Unit turns off. In all of the applications described below, a relay will be required.

The Light Blue wire can be used to accommodate the following situations:

128-8843a

12 of 28

A. Shock Sensor By Pass:

If there is a Non Plug in Shock Sensor used with the alarm system and it is not shunted during the

Remote Start activation period, then vibration from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger. In

this case, connect the Light Blue Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay. Connect terminal # 85 of the

relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source. Cut the shock sensor trigger wire and connect one end of the

cut wire to terminal #30 and the other end of the cut wire to terminal #87a. Just before the Remote Start

unit is activated, the relay contacts will open, preventing the shock sensor's operation until the Remote

Start unit shuts off.

B. Additional Ignition Output:

Some newer vehicles more than three ignition outputs to start and keep the vehicle's engine running. If

this is the case, connect the Light Blue wire to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect terminal # 30

& # 85 to a fused + 12 volt battery source rated for a minimum of 25 Amp. Connect terminal # 87 to the

third ignition wire in the vehicle.

C. GM VATS Key Override:

If the vehicle has the General Motors VATS system installed, you will need to bypass 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 5% of the

key's value from the resistor pack supplied.

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.

NOTE: These wires are typically White w/ Black trace and Violet w/ Yellow trace, however in later model

Cadillacs, they are run through an orange sleeve, and are either both Black, both Yellow, or both White

wires. Consult the factory service manual for additional information.

3. Connect the Light Blue Wire from the Remote Start Unit to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect

terminal #85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source.

4. Cut (#1) wire (as shown), and connect the ignition switch side of the cut wire to terminal #87a of the

relay. Connect the other side of the (#1) wire to terminal #30.

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

NOTE: The above information and following diagram is for the GM VATS system only. For GM PASS

LOCK System you will require the Audiovox AS-PASS II Module.

General Motors VATS By-Pass Diagram

Green w/ White trace Wire: Entry Illumination Ground Output

This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max.) whenever the remote is used to disarm the

Green w/ Orange Trace Wire: Tachometer Input Signal

This wire will continually monitor the engine's tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start

module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine

compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. This Remote Start unit learns the tach

rate of the vehicle and in most cases will operate properly from one multi coil pack regardless of the number

of cylinders. If the vehicle has a single coil unit for each cylinder, it may be necessary to connect this wire

to more than one cylinder for proper tach reference. See multi coil wiring detail shown later in this manual

for additional information.

Note: For Hybrid mode, Bank 3 feature selection 5, this connection is not used, the unit will start the vehicle

and run the allotted time based on feature selection and crank duration.

Tachometer Input Wiring Detail

Brown Wire: Negative Door Trigger

If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches ground when the door is opened, (Most GMs and Imports), you

must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In most cases the

Brown wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors the vehicle has as

most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel. This wire will be shunted when remote starting the vehicle

and will remain shunted, if active, while running under command of the remote start. If this wire is active

when the system is armed, the siren will emit three chirps. When the zone clears, the siren will emit 1

chirp to confirm full arming. See below for wiring detail.

Note for vehicles with interior delay lighting see programming under title "Completing The Installation".

fused + 12 volt source. Connect the common, normally open, and normally closed contacts of the relay to

perform the selected function of the channel 4 output.

NOTE: This wire also can be used for defrost activation as dictated by the setting of feature # 1 of Bank 3.

Anytime the vehicle is running under control of the Remote Start and Channel 4 is activated, then depen-

dent on the selection of this feature, Green/Black will be activated as a pulse for 1 second, or for 10

minutes. Note this wire will not operate when the vehicle is running under the power of the ignition key,

only while under the control of the remote start or if not used for defrost then an output will occur as

indicated above.

Dark Blue/Black Trace Wire: External Trigger Input

The Dark Blue/Black trace wire allows the remote start unit to be activated from an external source. The

intent of this wire is to allow the unit to be controlled from a "POSSE/CAR-LINK" paging system or similar

device. When this wire receives a ground pulse, the unit will start the vehicle. Connect this wire to a ground

pulsed output from the controlling circuit.

Black w/ White Trace Wire : 300 mA Horn Output

The black w/ white trace wire is provided to beep the vehicle’s horn. This is a transistorized low current

output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle’s horn switch.

If the vehicle uses a + 12 VDC horn switch, then connect the black w/ white trace wire to terminal 86 of the

AS 9256 relay ( or an equivalent 30 Amp automotive relay ), and connect relay terminal 85 to a fused

+ 12 VDC battery source. Connect relay terminal 87 to the vehicle’s horn switch output, and connect relay

terminal 30 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source.

White w/ Blue Trace Wire: Low Current (-) Ground Headlight Output

The White w/ Blue Trace wire is provided to operate the optional headlamp illumination feature of the

system. This is a low current (300mA) output and must be connected to an external relay to control the

high current switching circuit of the vehicle's headlamps. To use this option, connect the White /w Blue

wire of an alarm would be connected ). Cut the low current starter solenoid wire in the vehicle, and connect

one side of the cut wire to relay terminal 87. Connect the other side of the cut wire to relay terminal 30.

128-8843a

17 of 28

NOTE : This is a normally opened starter cut arrangement, when power is removed from the

security system, the starter disable feature will remain operational, and the vehicle will not start.

Audiovox does not recommend using the Orange w/ White trace wire to interrupt anything but the

starting circuit of the vehicle.

Lt Green Wire: (-) Instant Trigger Zone 1

This is a instant on ground trigger input intended for the connection of optional triggering devices. The

ground trigger output wire of motion detectors, microwave detectors, or glass break detectors, can be

connected to this Light Green trigger input wire.

Lt Blue/Green Wire : DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 5

The light blue/green wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter.

This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.

WARNING: Connecting the light blue/green to the high current switched output of trunk release circuits,

some remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module.

Connect the light blue/green to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30 A automotive relay) and

wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 5.

Lt Blue/Black Wire : DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 6

The light blue/green wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter.

This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.

WARNING: Connecting the light blue/black to the high current circuits, will damage the control module.

Connect the light blue/black to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30 A automotive relay) and

wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 6.

Blue/Red Wire : DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 7

The light blue/red wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This

is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.

WARNING: Connecting the light blue/red to the high current circuits, will damage the control module.

Connect the light blue/red to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30 A automotive relay) and wire

the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 7.

Green/Yellow Wire: DIESEL WAIT TO START INPUT

The green/yellow wire, when connected to the wire that get + 12 volts during the glow plug preheat stage will

delay the starter output until this wire drops the 12 volts. In other words, in a Diesel vehicle with glow plug

preheat circuit, when the ignition is turned on, the vehicle will not crank until the glow plugs are hot enough

to fire the atomized fuel oil when injected into the cylinder. By connecting this wire to the glow plug + 12 volt

wire, when the remote start unit activates the ignition one output, the glow plug output also activates. The

remote start sees the green/yellow with positive voltage and waits for this to go inactive( drop the 12 volts)

before activating the starter motor. If this wire is not used or you have difficulty accessing the glow plug

preheat circuit, you may elect to utilize the Diesel timed output as specified in Remote Start feature selec-

tion #9. NOTE: If green/yellow is used, it will override or negate any setting of feature #9.

WIRING THE 4 PIN AUXILIARY OUTPUT HARNESS

The auxiliary 4 pin connector provides low current outputs to control various functions in the vehicle during

different stages of the Remote Start unit's operation. Understanding these outputs and the time in which

they occur will allow you to determine if they are needed for the particular vehicle you are working on as well

as how to use them.

Black w Blue Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output Before Start

The Black w/ Blue Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output 1.5 second before the

remote start unit activates as well as when the transmitter is used to disarm the system. Typical use for

this output would be to disarm a factory theft deterrent system to prevent false triggering of the factory alarm

when the remote start unit engages or when the system is used to unlock the doors.

NOTE: This output can be selected to operate like the door lock output as set in alarm feature setting #1 by

selecting feature #7 on.

Black w/ Light Green Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Start

The Black w/ Light Green Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300mA pulsed ground output after the vehicle is

started under control of the remote start unit. Typically this wire will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if

the doors unlock automatically when the factory anti-theft system is disarmed. This wire will also activate

when the transmitter is used to alm/lock the system.

Black w/ Red Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Shutdown

The Black w/ Red Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output after the remote start unit

shuts down. This output will occur regardless of whether the circuit times out or is manually terminated.

Typically this output will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically when the

ignition circuit transitions to off.

128-8843a

Black w/ Yellow Trace Wire: Ground Output During Start (Crank)

The Black w/ Yellow Trace wire will provide a 300 mA ground output while the starter output of the remote

start unit is active. This output can be used to activate the Crank Low/Bulb Test wire found in some GM

vehicles. This wire is also referred to as the ECM wake up wire in some vehicles.

NOTE: The outputs above are low current outputs and must be used with a relay if the circuit's requirement

is more than 300 mA.

2 Pin Transponder Control Output: (Yellow Connector)

This output is intended to allow the control of a transponder bypass interface module or transponder

bypass relay. The system also allows software selections to control the way in which this output

operates, see remote start feature # 10 for setting this output.

When the unit is selected for output during the start sequence, this output will be active at the same

time Ign. 3 becomes active, and will remain active until the vehicle has started. This will be used for one

time read transponder circuits.

When the unit is selected for transponder on, this output will become active at the same time ign. 3

becomes active, and will remain active all the time the unit is operational under the control of the remote

start. When the unit is selected for continuous and the vehicle is started via the Remote Start, this

output will become active at the same time ign. 3 becomes active and will remain active until the ignition

in the vehicle goes low. This will allow the unit to be used for continuous read transponders circuits.

4 Pin Upgrade Telematic Module:

Red = + 5 Volts / Black = Ground / White = Data TX / Yellow = Data RX

Connect the 4 pin harness found in the Telematic one way module kit to the mating port on the controlling circuit.

NOTE: If using the TWO WAY Telematic module, only Ground, TX, and RX are used on this port, the + 12 volt supply

for the two way module must be sourced separately or the unit will not operate.

6 Wire Antenna/Receiver PB/LED Connector:

Plug the previously routed antenna connector from the antenna receiver assemble into the mating connec-

tor of the control module. This connector supplies 12 volts, ground and RF data input and output, LED

cathode, and Valet Enable to and from the antenna receiver and the remote start module. Be certain this

connector is firmly seated making good contact to the control unit.

4 Pin Shock Sensor: (White Connector)

The Red (+12 volt), Black (ground), Blue (pre-detect) and Green (full trigger when armed) wires loaded into

the white connector shell are the inputs/outputs of the shock sensor. Route the 4 wire harness from the

shock sensor to the remote start control unit and plug the 4 pin white connector into the mating 4 pin

connector shell of the control module.

NOTE: While operating under the control of the remote start unit the shock sensor will be shunted (by-

passed). Once the remote start shuts down, the shock sensor will be re-enabled.

3 Pin Door Lock/Unlock Harness: (White Connector)

The Red and Green wires will provide either a pulsed ground output to the factory door lock control relay, or

a pulsed + 12 volt output to the factory door lock control relay. In either case, the maximum current draw

through these outputs must not exceed 300 mA. The Red w/Black trace wire will provide a pulsed ground

only, and will only provide an output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second time

after a first unlock command was issued. This is used for second step unlock or all doors unlock in a two

step circuit. In this arrangement, Red is used to control the drivers door unlock relay, and the Red/Black

will be used to control unlock of all other doors.

3 Wire Positive Switched Door Locks:

In this application, the Red wire of the door lock harness provides a + 12 volt pulse during the disarming

sequence, or pulsed 12 volt unlock output. Connect the Red wire to the low current 12 volt signal wire from

the factory door unlock switch to the factory door unlock relay.

The Green wire of the door lock harness provides a + 12 volt pulse during the arming sequence, or pulsed

12 volt lock output. Connect the Green wire to the low current 12 volt signal wire from the factory door lock

switch to the factory door lock relay. See Below For Wiring Detail.

3 Wire Positive Switched Door Lock/Unlock Wiring Detail

3 Wire Ground Switched 2 Step Door Locks:

In this application, the red wire provides a ground pulse during arming, or the pulsed ground lock output.

Connect the red wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door lock switch

to the factory door lock control relay.

The green wire provides the first ground pulse during disarming, or the drivers door pulsed ground

unlock output. Connect this wire to the drivers door unlock relay that requires a low current ground

signal to unlock only the drivers door. If the vehicle does not have a separate drivers door relay, one will have

to be added. Locate the drivers door unlock motor wire and cut it at a convenient location to allow wiring of

an optional relay. Connect the door side of the cut wire to terminal 30 of the optional relay added. Connect

the vehicle side of the cut wire to terminal 87a of the optional relay added. Connect the green wire of the 3

pin harness to terminal 86 of the optional relay added. Connect terminal 85 of the optional relay added to

a fused constant + 12 volt source. Most vehicles door lock/unlock motor legs rest at ground, and switch

+12 volts to the door lock/unlock motor legs for operation, if this is the case in the vehicle you are working

on, connect the remaining terminal, 87, to a fused + 12 volt source. In the rare instance that the vehicle

door lock/unlock motor legs rest at + 12 volts and switches ground to the door lock/unlock motors, connect

the remaining terminal, 87, to chassis ground.

3 Wire Ground Switched Door Lock Circuits:

In this application, the Red wire of the door lock harness provides a ground pulse during the arming

sequence, or pulsed ground lock output. Connect the Red wire to the low current ground signal wire from

the factory door lock switch to the factory door lock relay.

The Green wire of the door lock harness provides a ground pulse during the disarming sequence, or pulsed

ground unlock output. Connect the Green wire to the low current ground signal wire from the factory door

unlock switch to the factory door unlock relay. See Below For Wiring Detail.

3 WireGround Switched Door Lock/Unlock Wiring Detail

128-8843a

20 of 28

The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a

second time after disarming. Connect the Red/Black wire to the wire that provides a low current ground

signal from the factory door unlock switch to the factory door unlock control relay.

3 Wire Positive Switched 2 Step Door Locks:

The green wire provides a positive pulse during arming or the pulsed + 12 volt lock output. Connect the

green wire to the wire that provides a low current positive signal from the factory door lock switch to the

factory door lock control relay.

The red wire provides a positive pulse during disarming or the drivers door pulsed positive unlock

output. Connect this wire to the drivers door unlock relay that requires a low current positive signal to

unlock only the drivers door. If the vehicle does not have a separate drivers door relay, one will have to be

added. Locate the drivers door unlock motor wire and cut it at a convenient location to allow wiring of an

optional relay. Connect the door side of the cut wire to terminal 30 of the optional relay added. Connect the

vehicle side of the cut wire to terminal 87a of the optional relay added. Connect the red wire of the 3 pin

harness to terminal 86 of the optional relay added. Connect terminal 85 of the optional relay added to

chassis ground. Most vehicles door lock/unlock motor legs rest at ground, and switch +12 volts to the door

lock/unlock motor legs for operation, if this is the case in the vehicle you are working on, connect the

remaining terminal, 87, to a fused + 12 volt source. In the rare instance that the vehicle door lock/unlock

motor legs rest at + 12 volts and switches ground to the door lock/unlock motors, connect he remaining

terminal, 87, to chassis ground.

The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a

second time after disarming. Because the vehicle you are working on requires a positive pulse from the

factory door lock switch to the factory door lock control relay, you will have to add a relay to invert the output

polarity of this wire. Connect the Red/Black wire to terminal 86 of the optional added relay. Connect

terminal 85 & 87 to a fuse + 12 volt source. Connect terminal 30 to the low current door unlock wire from the

factory door switch to the door unlock control relay.

These applications require the use of additional components which may include relays, fixed resistors, or

for convenience, a Door Lock Interface. Refer to the AUDIOVOX Door Lock Wiring Supplement and or the

Audiovox fax back service for information on your particular vehicle for properly connecting to these types of

circuits.

TIMED START PROGRAM:

The Remote Start unit has the ability to start the vehicle automatically at timed intervals. This feature is

useful in extremely cold climates where starting the engine is the only means to keep the battery charged

and fluids warm. The operator has the option to have the unit start every 2 or 4 hours for a maximum of 48

hours. Factory preset is to start at 4 hour intervals. To select 2 or 4 hour automatic start timer:

1. Start By Holding the Push Button Switch found on the windshield mount receiver on.

2. While Holding the Push Button Switch Turn The Ignition Switch On Then Off

3a) Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch off, Release and then Push On and release the Push

Button Switch 2 times holding it on the second time until the siren and or lights flash and chirp 2 times

indicating that the 2 Hour Start Interval has successfully been set. or

3b) Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch off, (Step 2) Release

and then Push On and release the Push Button Switch 4 times holding it on the fourth time until the

siren and or lights flash and chirp 4 times indicating that the 4 Hour Start Interval has successfully been

set.

NOTE: Once selected, 2 or 4, this timer interval will remain in memory until it is manually changed. To

change, the above sequence will have to be followed.

TIMED START OPERATION:

To begin the start timer, within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition switch, activate the RF command to

start 2 times. (Press the start button four times). The lights will flash and the siren will chirp 4 times.

Indicating timed interval mode has been initiated. The vehicle will automatically start every 2 or 4 hours as

programmed. To cancel the timed start mode start the vehicle either by RF or by the ignition key.

128-8843a

TEMPERATURE START:

When Temperature Start, Bank 3 feature #13 is selected on, the temperature start mode can be activated

from the transmitter. See owners manual for turning this feature on from the transmitter. Once activated,

the unit will start 1 time if the vehicle temperature reaches "0* " and then will run the allotted time.

NOTE: When selecting Diesel operation, (Bank 3 Feature #11), over gasoline, the only change is to the

ignition circuits. When Diesel is selected, the ignition circuits will power up 10, 15, or 20 seconds

before the start circuit. The intent of this feature is to allow the glow plug warming required by some

diesel engines. If your vehicle is a instant start diesel, it is not necessary to activate this feature.

NOTE: When selecting Diesel mode, be certain that the intended vehicle has a true tach reference and be

certain to connect the tach input wire. Also note, if the "Diesel Wait to Start" input is connected,

(Green/Yellow) this wire will take precedence over the Diesel selection of bank 3 feature 11.

Programming Tach Rate:

NOTE: All applications require that tach be programmed.

The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed. If an attempt is made to start the vehicle via the remote start

without first programming tach, the unit will flash the parking lights 7 times indicating tach has not been learned

and stored. If the tach rate is not properly programmed to the specific vehicle, the unit may not realize that the vehicle

is running in certain instances reengage the starter motor.

The Remote Start Unit will learn the tach rate of most vehicle's single coil, multiple coil packs, or single

injector. To learn tach.

1. Turn the ignition key to the On position.

2. Press and release the valet/program push button switch 3 times.

3. Immediately turn the ignition key Off.

4. Press and hold the valet/program push button switch, then start the vehicle using the key.

5. When the unit senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to flash.

6. Release the valet/program pushbutton switch. The parking lights will turn on for three seconds to

indicate that the learned tach signal is stored and the unit is out of the tach learn mode.

NOTE: If the unit fails to learn tach rate due to an improper tachometer connection or a poor tach source,

the parking lights will not flash. To correct this situation, locate and connect the Green/Orange wire to the

proper tach signal, and then repeat the tach learn routine.

Diagnostics:

Enter Bank 3 and turn on selectable feature # 9 as described on the front pages of this manual.

NOTE: Diagnostic mode is a temporary mode. Once you have accessed the diagnostic mode, the unit will

pause for two seconds then begin to flash the last stored shut down code. This code will be displayed

three times in succession, then the unit will automatically exit the diagnostic on mode.

The parking lights will flash a number of times indicating the reason for the last remote start shutdown. The

light flash indications are as follows:

1 Flash Run timer expired

2 Flashes Low or no tach signal (RPM)

3 Flashes Positive inhibit wire activation

4 Flashes NA

5 Flashes RF shutdown, Remote signal received, or manual start trigger wire reactivated.

6 Flashes High tach signal (RPM)

7 Flashes Tach signal has not been learned

8 Flashes Negative inhibit wire

Multi Coil Pack Adaptor: (Optional)

The multi coil pack adapter, is designed for use with vehicles that do not respond to single coil tach

programming. Although the tach resolution of this circuit is designed to interface direct with most ve-

hicles, there may be an occasion where the following circuit may be required. Construct the adaptor as

shown below.

To use the adaptor, the Green/Black wires must connect to the negative side of the ignition coil(s).

128-8843a

1. For vehicles utilizing independent coils per cylinder, connect the three Green/Black leads to alternate

coils. To achieve optimum performance the coil signals must be evenly distributed. This is accomplished

by first mapping out the firing order of the engine in groups of as indicated below. Draw a circle around any

of the columns. The Green/Black wires should be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the respective

cylinder number which appears in any of the circles.

2. For vehicles utilizing 2 cylinder firing per coil pack, connect Green/Black to the tach side of each coil

pack. For 8 cylinder, four coil systems, connect to any of the three coils.

3. Connect the Yellow wire to a +12 volt ignition 1 source. This wire will have +12 volts with the ignition in the

on and start position and have 0 volts with the ignition in the off position.

4. Connect the Green wire to the (Green) or (Orange/Green) tach input of the Audiovox remote start unit.

NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST:

The intent of the neutral start switch is to prevent the vehicle from starting while the gear selector is in any

position other than Park, or Neutral. When installing a Remote Start Device, it is imperative that the Yellow

Starter wire be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. Consideration for the

placement of a starter inhibit relay is important as well and should be connected to the ignition switch side

of the Yellow Start Wire.

To test the integrity of the Neutral Start Safety Circuit:

1. Set the vehicle parking brake.

2. Block the drive wheels to prevent vehicle movement.

3. Temporarily disconnect the Brown/Black positive shut down wire from the vehicle's brake switch.

4. Sitting in the vehicle, start the engine using the vehicle's ignition key.

5. Step on the brake pedal and shift the gear selector into reverse.

6. Allow the transmission to shift. When you feel the engine pull, do not move the gear selector just turn

the ignition switch off. DO NOT attempt to remove the key.

7. Keeping the brake pedal depressed, activate the RF transmitter in an attempt to start the vehicle. The

car should not start.

8. Repeat the above test this time move the gear selector to the drive position. If the unit attempts to start,

failing this test, recheck your Yellow Wire's connection. This 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 selectors position.

CAUTION!

REMEMBER TO RECONNECT THE BROWN/BLACK WIRE TEMPORARILY

DISCONNECTED IN STEP 3

DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION

OF THE NEUTRAL SAFETY START FEATURE.

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.

AUDIOVOX 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 opera-

tion 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.

METHOD 1

To connect to the key in sensor as shown in method 1:

A. Locate the control wire that connects the drivers door pin switch to the key in sensor switch.

B. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground.

C. Locate the key in sensor switch wire that connects the chime module to the ignition cylinder .

D. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to terminal 30 of a P&B VF45F11 or equivalent relay.

E. Connect the cathode (striped) side of a 4002 series diode to this same wire, and connect the (non

striped) side to the negative shut down safety wire (Gray / Black) of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit.

F. Connect terminal 86 of the relay to a fused +12 volt constant battery source.

G. Connect terminal 87 of the relay to the Chime Module side of the previously cut wire in step D.

H. Connect terminal 85 of the relay to the Drivers Door side of the pin switch wire previously cut in step B.

NOTE: A second 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut down

circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non Striped)

side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit. The cathode (Striped) side must

be connected to the hood pin switch. If the hood pin switch is also used for an alarm trigger input, be

certain to use the dual diode set up shown earlier in this manual.

METHOD 2

To connect to the key in sensor circuit as shown for method 2:

A. Locate the control wire that connects the drivers door pin switch to the key in sensor switch.

B. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground.

C. Locate the key in sensor switch wire that connects the chime module to the ignition cylinder .

D. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to the Remote Start Negative Safety Shut down

Wire Gray/Black, using a 4002 series diode as shown above.

NOTE: A second 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut

down circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non

Striped) side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit. The cathode (Striped)

side must be connected to the hood pin switch. IIf the hood pin switch is also used for an alarm trigger

input, be certain to use the dual diode set up shown earlier in this manual.

AFTER THE CONNECTION OF THE NEUTRAL START SAFETY WIRE AS INDICATED IN ANY OF

THE PREVIOUS ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS, THIS CIRCUIT MUST BE TESTED FOR OPERA-

TION.

Retest by following the steps outlined in the NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST shown in this manual.

delay interior lights, and you wish to avoid three chirp, defect zone, indication normally associated with

this type of interior light, we suggest you learn the interior light delay.

To learn the light delay, start with all doors closed:

(1) Use the transmitter to Lock / Unlock / Lock / Unlock / Lock / Unlock / Lock, the system.

The LED turns on solid to confirm the system entered the learn mode.

(2) Immediately open and close the door of the vehicle to initiate the dome delay.

The unit will monitor the door trigger input Positive, (Purple), and Negative, (Brown) when active.

When the dome light turns off, the unit will add 2 seconds then exit the learn mode.

(3) The LED will begin flashing the Armed indication indicating the unit has exited the learn mode and is

armed.

1. Mount the control module up and behind the dash securing it in place with cable ties or screws. Be

certain that the chosen mounting location will not inhibit any of the controls of the vehicle.

2. Securely harness and tie all wiring up and away from all hot and moving parts that they may come in

contact with under the dash board or in the engine compartment areas.

CAUTION: Particularly avoid the area around the steering shaft and column, as wires can wrap around

these mechanisms and impair the safe operation of the vehicle.

3. Apply the Caution Labels supplied with this kit to a conspicuous area in the engine compartment.

Make sure to clean the surface before affixing the label.
