Repeat this step to exit via the remote transmitter. Lock / Unlock and AUX features will still operate in VALET Mode however Remote Start is inhibited. ANTI-GRIND (Optional, relay not included) This Optional feature prevents the user from accidentally grinding the starter if the Ignition key is turned too far to the start position while engine is already running from the remote starter. The Anti-Grind requires the use of an external relay. HOOD OPEN SAFETY (Requires hood pin switch) Prevents remote starting engine when hood is open. Eliminates risk of injury to someone working under the hood of the vehicle with a properly working hood pin installed. If Remote Start button is pressed with the hood open, the parking lights will flash twice and the unit will not attempt a start. See Remote Start Diagnostics on page 14. BRAKE PEDAL RESET Prevents starting or turns off a remote started vehicle when this circuit is active. Prevents Unauthorized Driving of Vehicle. This circuit shuts the system down immediately when brake pedal is pressed. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position before the brake pedal is pressed. If Remote Start button is pressed with the brake pressed, the parking lights will flash once and the unit will not attempt a start. See Remote Start Diagnostics on page 14. OEM ALARM INTERFACE (May require optional Databus Module) This feature is designed to Disarm and Re-arm Factory equipped security systems in conjunction with remote start and keyless entry (if needed for your vehicle). This feature will maintain the original integrity and security of your vehicle’s factory equipped systems before, during, or after remote start. Some vehicles require an optional Databus module to operate a factory alarm or keyless entry.
12 TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING Note: All transmitter codes must be learned at time of programming!! The PS04-G3 learns up to 4 different transmitter codes. 1. Turn Ignition Key to the ON position. 2. Press Programming button 4 times, then after a few seconds the unit flashes the parking lights 4 times. 3. Press button #1 of the first transmitter. You should get 1 light flash confirming the remote is coded, then press button #1 of a second transmitter, the unit will flash 2 times confirming the remote is coded and so on.

13 2-VEHICLE OPERATION & PROGRAMMING A single Remote Control can control two different vehicles. To set up the 2-Vehicle operation you must first program your remotes to Vehicle #2. Follow the “Transmitter Programming” steps (Pg. 12) at the second vehicle and learn YOUR remote, along with vehicle #2’s existing remotes. . VEHVEH To change from vehicle 1 to vehicle 2, press the VEH button on remote for about 2 seconds. The LED on remote will change from red to green.
14 NO FACTORY KEYLESS ENTRY AFTER REMOTE START Most new cars Do Not allow the factory Remote Keyless Entry to function with the Ignition ON. This means you can’t use the factory remote to lock or unlock the doors. After remote start you have to use the keys to unlock the door. Also, many new vehicles unlock the doors when disarming the factory alarm. This leaves the doors unlocked while Remote Started. To resolve this problem, have your installer connect the door locks to the Remote Start Keyless Entry. The Remote Starter with Re-Lock the doors after remote starting. Model PS03-G3 and PS04-G3 When you return to a remote started vehicle, just press the Unlock button on the remote control. Note: There are 3 Remote Start Options (see page 4). The options are: 1/2 second press (Default), 2 second press or Double button press. REMOTE START DIAGNOSTICS If the system flashes the LED and Parking Lights one to seven times and doesn’t attempt remote start. The LED will continue to flashing the error code until the ignition is turned on, it means the following: 1 Parking Light Flash (1 LED Flash) = Problem with Brake Switch. 2 Parking Light Flashes (2 LED Flashes) = Problem with Hood Switch. 3 Parking Light Flashes (Solid LED) = Valet Service Mode. 5 Parking Light Flashes (5 LED Flashes) = Ignition On before Remote Start. 7 Parking Light Flashes (7 LED Flashes) = Manual Transmission Error. Be sure to tell your installer the Diagnostic code when taking vehicle in for service SYSTEM IS UNSUCCESSFUL AT REMOTE START DURING EXTREME COLD CONDITIONS: Please be aware that during sub-freezing conditions your remote starter may take more that one attempt to start, or it may not successfully start the vehicle after 3 attempts. During these conditions the vehicle may not properly start even using the key, therefore trying to start by the remote would also be unsuccessful.
15 BATTERY REPLACEMENT To Replace the Battery: The Remote Control uses three CR-2016 Lithium 3 Volt Batteries. Simply remove the four Phillips screws holding the back cover in place. Side old batteries out and remove plastic cover. Insert the new batteries into plastic cover and slide into place with the (+) end facing up. The plastic cover keeps the batteries from shorting out against the side of metal housing. BACKCOVERSCREWSSCREWS2016 SIDE BATTERIESDOWN TO REMOVE
16 2-Way DATA PORT Some vehicles require a Databus Module to Bypass the factory Immobilizer and operate the keyless entry Databus modules are used to communicate with the vehicles computer at the OBD2 Data connector or Canbus wires. This reduces installation error. Crimestopper Systems with DP Series have a direct Data Port Plug-In for the Databus bypass module. This eliminates conventional wiring between the Alarm/Remote Starter and the bypass interface module. Features Include • Transponder Immobilizer. • PassLock Immobilizer. • O.E.M. Alarm Control. • R.A.P. Shutdown. • Power Door Locks. • Priority Unlock. • Trunk Release. • Parking Lights. • Courtesy Lights. • Tachometer. • Heated Seats. • Rear Defrost. • Driver 1 and 2 Memory presets. The actual features controlled depend on the vehicle and Databus module.
