The APS-55 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 A

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

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 Gray w/ Black tracer w

LIGHT BLUE Wire: Ignition 3 / Shock Disable Output 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: A. Shock Sensor By Pass: If there is Shock Sensor used with an alarm system and it is no

Green/Orange Wire: Tach Sensor Input This wire will continually monitor the engine 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

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 Door Lock/Unlock Harness: (White Connector) The Red & Green Door Lock/Unlock output wires provide either a pulsed ground or pulsed + 12 volts to control the 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

Resistive Circuits, As Well As 4 Wire Polarity Reversal and 5 Wire Alternating 12 Volt Door Lock Control Circuits These applications require the use of additional components which may include relays, fixed resistors, or for convenience, the AS 9159 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. 2 Pin Blue Connector : Programming Switch Route

4. Hold the program switch ON, then start the vehicle using the ignition key. 5. When the unit senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to flash. 6. Release the program switch. The parking lights will turn on for 3 seconds to indicate that the tach signal is stored and the unit is now out of the program mode. 3. Diagnostics: 1. Be sure that programmable feature number #6 is set to the "Diagnostics On" mode. 2. Press and hold the program switch on, then turn the ignition k

2. Reach inside the car and pull the hood release. 3. Raise the hood and confirm that the remote start unit shuts down. If the unit fails this test, recheck your pin switch connection to the Gray/Black wire of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit. WARNING!! DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION OF THE HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN FEATURE. MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE CIRCUIT: The intent of the manual shut down / enable circuit is to allow the vehicle operator to prevent

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

These situations should be carefully considered before altering the vehicle's wiring and must be fully explained to the consumer. Circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available. 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

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
