INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:

Control Module:

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

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

certain that the chosen location will not interfere with the 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. Do not mount the module in the engine compartment, as it is not

waterproof.

SIREN:

Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected location

must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed downward to

prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away from and out of the engine compartment for

maximum sound distribution. Before securing the siren, check behind your chosen location to assure that the

mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the siren mounting bracket using #8

self taping screws or by first using the mounting bracket as a template, scribe or mark the mounting holes. Drill

the marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, then mount the siren using #8 sheet metal screws.

Hood Pin Switch:

The pin switch included in this package is required for the safety shut down of the Remote Start system. If the

vehicle is being serviced, this hood switch prevents the Remote Start activation even if the transmitter is

operated. This switch MUST be installed in all applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or

property damage. Mount the switch in an area under the hood that is away from water drain paths. If necessary,

the included brackets may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall

behind the hood seal. In either case the switch must be set to allow the hood door to depress the switch at least

1/4" when the hood is closed and fully extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4" 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. If using the

mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin switch in the threaded

mounting bracket hole.

DASH MOUNTED LED:

The small Red LED included in the kit will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm's status and provide a visual

deterrent to a potential thief. The LED also provides important feed back information during the transmitter and

feature program modes. The LED should be installed in the dash in an area highly visible so that it may be

seen from the driver's seat as well as from outside the vehicle. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that

the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Carefully drill a 1/4" hole in the desired

location and pass the connector end of the LED through the hole and toward the control module. Press the LED

firmly into place until it is fully seated in the mounting hole.

THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY:

The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this system 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 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 support.
