Warning! Safety First ➤ Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized Directed dealer. ➤ When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the trans- mitter/receiver. Therefore, never operate the system in an area that does not have adequate ventilation. The following precautions are the sole responsibility of the user; however, authorized Directed dealers should make the following recommendations to

Installation Points to Remember Before Beginning the Installation IMPORTANT! This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use. ➤ Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote start system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems tha

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. Increase the R.P.M., and the voltage should increase approximately 1V. Finding the WAIT-TO-START Bulb Wire for Diesels In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT TO START light in the dashboard. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are prop

H1/2 WHITE (+/-) Selectable Light Flash Output As shipped, this wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. If the light flash polarity jumper is moved to the (-) position (see the Programming Jumper section of this guide), this wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output. This is available for driving (-) light control wires in Toyota, Lexus, BMW, some Mitsubishi, some Mazda, and other models. NOTE: For parking light systems that draw 10 amps or more, the jumper must be switched to a (-) ligh

H2/2 LIGHT GREEN/BLACK (-) Factory Disarm Output This wire sends a negative pulse every time the remote start is activated or the alarm is disarmed. This can be used to pulse the disarm wire of the vehicle's factory anti-theft device. Use a relay to send a (-) or (+) pulse to the disarm wire as shown in the diagrams below. This wire can also be used as a special accessory output. (See Feature Descriptions section of this guide.) R Re ella ay y f fo or r N Ne eg ga at ti iv ve e ( (- -) ) D D

Remote Start Harness Wire Descriptions H3/1 BLUE Status Output This wire supplies a 200mA output as soon as the module begins the remote start process and is normally used to activate an immobilizer bypass module. The H3/1 BLUE wire can also be programmed to rearm a factory anti-theft system when the remote start shuts down. (See the Feature Descriptions section in this guide.) NOTE: This wire can also be used to bypass optional sensors and door triggers as described in the following diagram. T
