The AA-RS30CS is 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 10 second output for glow plug pre-heat which may be required for certain diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #9). If the diesel engine has a instant fire, (no glow plug pre-heat system), feature #9 should remain in the default Gasoline mode setting. For diesel applications, consult your dealer for the type of ig

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. Place the RED rubber boot, included in the kit, over the switch handle to differentiate this switch from the p

SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS. BLUE Wire: Ignition 1 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the to the "ON" or "RUN" and the "START" or CRANK" positions, and will have 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions. For Diesel Applications, this wire must be connected to the ignition circuit that powers the glow plugs if the vehicle requires glow plug p

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

DARK 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 a single coil, single injector, or one multi coil pack regardless of the nu

The Green wire of the two pin harness provides a ground pulse during the disarming sequence, or pulsed ground unlock output. Connect the Green wire to the low current ground signal wire from the factory door unlock switch to the factory door unlock relay. See Below For Wiring Detail. 3 Wire Positive Switched Door Locks: In this application, the Red wire of the two pin harness provides a + 12 volt pulse during the disarming sequence, or pulsed 12 volt unlock output.

disarm a factory theft deterrent system to prevent false triggering of the factory alarm when the remote start unit engages or when the AA-RS30CS is used to unlock the doors. Black w/Light Green Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Start The Black w/Light Green Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300ma pulsed ground output after the vehicle is started under control of the remote start unit. Typically this wire will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically when the

Green w/Black Trace Wire: 300mA Latched Channel 3 Output The Green w/Black Trace wire supplies a 300mA switched output whenever channel three of the receiver is ac- cessed. Pressing the pre-programmed transmitter button(s) will access channel three and will remain active, for up to 8 seconds, as long as the transmitter button(s) is held. This is a low current output and must be connected to a relay to supply power to the device you intend to control. Connect Green w/Black Trace wire to ter

NOTE: 1. When selecting Diesel operation, (Feature Nine), over gasoline, the only change is to the ignition circuits. When Diesel is selected, the ignition circuits will power up 10 seconds before the start circuit. The intent of this feature is to allow the glow plug warming required by some diesel engines. If your vehicle is a instant start diesel, it is not necessary to activate this feature. NOTE: When selecting Diesel mode, be certain that the intended vehicle has a true tach reference a

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 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 certain that th
