This Remote Start 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 Automatic Transmission.

INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:

CONTROL MODULE:

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting

location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin

main wiring harness.

Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the

module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around

or block the steering wheel, preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen

location using cable ties or screws as necessary.

Note: Do not mount the module In the engine compartment, as it is not waterproof.

HOOD PIN SWITCH:

The pin switch included in this package is intended for protecting the hood area of the vehicle. In all cases,

the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is activated, (hood open), it

will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the hood switch is required for the

safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the

remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This switch must be installed in all

applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage. Mount the switch in

a location away from water drain paths. If necessary, an optional bracket may be used to move the switch

away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In both cases the switch must

be set up to allow the hood to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood is closed and fully

extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check

behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines.

Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well

socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin

switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.

THE PUSH-BUTTON/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY:

The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dash

board 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 reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape provided. After

securing the antenna with tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to a fixed spport.

This will prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to extreme heat

which may loosen its gummed surface. Route the 6 pin connector toward the control module using caution

not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control module.
