This Remote Start/Keyless Entry System is designed for use with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The unit provides wait to start input for glow plug pre-heat which will be used for all diesel applications. If this wire is not connected, then the unit will remain in the Gasoline mode setting, which will crank the car when the RF signal is received with no delay. Regardless of the vehicle, Gasoline or Diesel, for every installation, the vehicle MUST HAVE a Tach Signal Input, and an Automa

THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY: The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dashboard 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 re

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 neutral safety switch can result in personal injury and property damage. SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

VIOLET WIRE: Accessory Output Connect this wire to the Accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the "ACCESSORY" or "ON" and "RUN" positions and will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "START" or "CRANK" positions. 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 certai

Brake Switch Positive Shutdown Detail YELLOW w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: + 12 Volt Alarm By - Pass Output NOTE: You must disconnect the ignition input of the alarm from any other wire that it is presently connected to in the vehicle. This wire provides a + 12 Volt output when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, and 0 Volts when the ignition key is “OFF” and when the vehicle is running under the control of the remote starter. This wire should be connected to the ignition

A. Shock Sensor By Pass: If there is Shock Sensor used with an 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 #8

Tachometer Input Wiring Detail Green/Yellow Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input The Green/Yellow wire of the 2 pin connector will connect to a diesel vehicles glow plug wire. When the unit receives a start command, this wire must go to + 12 then to ground to allow the crank sequence to begin. When ignition #1 is activated by the remote start unit, the glow plug circuit gets energized, (+ 12 volts), when the glow plug circuit of the vehicle drops the + 12 volts, which effectively grounds the wait

vehicle door lock / unlock circuits. The output of these wires has a maximum switching capability of 300mA. Many vehicles today have factory door lock relays which can be connected directly to these outputs, however always confirm that the factory relays in your particular vehicle do not exceed the rated 300mA output of the units door lock/unlock circuit. Plug the 2 pin connector of the door lock/unlock harness into the mating connector shell of the control module. Determine the door lock circ

2 Pin Blue Connector : Programming Switch Route the gray and black wires in the 2 pin connector from the previously installed programming switch to the control module and plug it into the mating blue connector on the side of the module. 2 Pin White Auxiliary Output Connector : Low Current Trunk Release Output (1Blue Wire Loaded) This wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is a transistor- ized, low current output and should only be used to drive

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

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 Neut

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 availabl

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 assembly packaged with the Audiovox Remote Start

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION: After you have confirmed the operation of the Audiovox Remote Start unit and tested all the safety features of the system: 1. If you have not done so already, place the red rubber handle cover over the handle of the control switch for ease of identification. This will allow your customer to distinguish the Remote Start control switch from the program switch. 2. Mount the control module up and behind the dash securing it in place with cable ties or screws. Be cert
