Bypass
Remote starters of this series have the ability to work in two way mode (D2D) with Xpresskit bypass modules. They also offer 
one way communication with Xpresskit , ADS and Fortin brand bypass modules. 
Note: For Hardware 5.0 and higher, there can only be one bypass connected to the unit. 
Virtual Tach System 
* Virtual Tach System combines the latest microcontroller technology and a complex algorithm that took years to develop. VTS 
is able to effectively monitor the engine starting sequence and release the starter at the right time without physically connecting 
the tach wire to the remote starter. The VTS constantly monitors the data and readjusts itself automatically in order to maximize 
its capability to start the engine properly in any weather or deteriorating battery condition (automatic transmission only).
Optional Time Delay Adjustment in Virtual Tach System 
Follow these steps to program crank time adjustment, if needed: 
1. Enter programming mode (see p. 1)  the parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds. 
2. Before the lights go out, press and hold the brake pedal and press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously  the 
parking lights will flash 4 times. Do not release the brake pedal. Note: For vehicles that require the ignition to be turned 
ON to activate the brake, follow these steps: 
a. Turn the ignition ON; The parking lights will turn OFF 
b. After 4 seconds the parking lights will turn ON and then press the brake. 
3. Press the LOCK button if you wish to increase the time delay or the UNLOCK button if you want to decrease it. The time 
delay will be increased or decreased by 50ms. and the parking lights will flash once every time the LOCK or UNLOCK
button is pressed.
4. Press the TRUNK button to save the settings you have entered. 
5. Release the brake pedal – the time delay programming is now complete.
