This Remote Start/Keyless Entry System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a number of selectable timed outputs for glow plug pre-heat which may be required for certain diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #11). If the diesel engine has a instant fire, (no glow plug pre-heat system), feature #11 should remain in the default Gasoline mode setting. For diesel applications, consult your dealer for the ty

Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by passing it through the panel from the underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer, and on/off face plate. It is suggested that the switch be oriented to allow the on position to be up toward the driver and the off position to be down or away from the driver. Route the switch wires toward the control module. The APS-685 is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combina- tion Keyless

NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (if present). For the electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay, (if present) 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 CONNECTIONS: 12 Pin Input / Output Harness Black Wire: Chassis Ground Source Connect the Black wire to a known vehicle ground source or to a solid clean metal part of the chassis. Be certain to remove any paint or grease and secure this wire with a self taping screw and ring terminal. BLACK w/WHITE Tracer Wire: Control Switch The Black w/ White tracer wire provides ON-OFF control of the Remote Starter. When the Black w/ White wire is switched to a full time ground, the Remote Start Modu

BROWN w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: Positive Inhibit Input 2 Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown w/ Black tracer wire, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches + 12 Volts to the brake light circuit, connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the output of the brake light switch. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches ground, do not use the Brown w/ Black wire; see Grey w/ Black tracer w

GREEN/YELLOW Wire: Diesel Wait To Start For Diesel glow plug preheat circuits, this wait to start input will allow the ignition to keep the glow plugs active for the vehicles automatic time out period before cranking the starter motor. If this wire is connected to the glow plug wire, this will take precidence over the timing setting and the gas/Diesel selection in the feature selection chart. Use this wire if you do not want to set the timing of the glow plug preheat circuit as shown in the fe

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 t

3 Wire Ground 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 locking, 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 unlocking, or the drivers door pulsed ground unlock output. Connect this wire to the drivers d

3 Wire Positive Switched 2 Step Door Locks The green wire provides a positive pulse during locking, 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 unlocking, 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 unlo

3 Wire Positive Switched Door Locks: In this application, the Red wire of the door lock harness provides a + 12 volt pulse during the unlocking 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 locking sequence, or pulsed 12 volt lock output. Connect the Green wire to the low current 12 volt si

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 Chrysler 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. Blue

3 Pin Input/Output Harness: 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. Green w/ White Trace Wire: Entry Illumination Groun

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. To program these selectable features: 1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position. 2. Press and release the pushbutton switch 3 times 3. Immediately turn the ignition key OFF, then back to ON. 4. Press and release the pushbutton switch 2 times. 5. Use channel one button on the transmitter to advance to the feature that you want to change. EXAMPLE I

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 pre-set is to start at 4 hour intervals. To select 2 or 4 hour automatic start timer: 1. Start with the Enable switch (Red Handle) in the
