Wire connection guides ¢ Primary harness (H1) H1/1 RED/WHITE (-) 200mA TRUNK RELEASE OUTPUT When the system receives the code controlling trunk release output for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white wire supplies an output as long as the transmission continues. This is typically used to operate a trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven function. Warning! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The transistorized output can only supply 200mA of current.
H1/4 WHITE/BROWN LIGHT FLASH -ISOLATION WIRE - PIN 87a of onboard relay This wire connects to pin 87a of the onboard light flash relay. It is used whenever light switch isolation on the vehicle is necessary. If the vehicle has a multiplex circuit that needs the light switch isolated, you can remove the onboard light flash fuse and replace it with the specified resistor (paying attention to the polarity selection).
H1/6 VIOLET (+) DOOR TRIGGER INPUT This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit. Connect the violet wire to a wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed. H1/7 BLUE TRUNK PIN / INSTANT TRIGGER INPUT This input responds to a negative input with an instant trigger. This is ideal for a trunk pin. It can also be used with Directed single-stage sensors and reports on Zone 1.
directly to the dome light circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one or more light bulbs. H1/10 WHITE/BLUE (-) REMOTE START/ TURBO TIMER ACTIVATION INPUT This input comes from the factory set to 1 activation pulse. This means that it is necessary to have a single ground pulse on the white/blue wire for the remote start to activate or to deactivate. The H1/10 wire can also be used to activate the Turbo Timer mode when the car is running and this wire receives a ground.
(+) Positive Light Flash Output WHITE H1/11 (+) LIGHT FLASH OUTPUT (-) Negative Light Flash Output WHITE H1/11 (-) LIGHT FLASH OUTPUT Note: For parking light circuits that draw 10-amps or more, the internal jumper must be switched to a (-) light flash output. (See Setting the light flash polarity section of this guide.) P/N 8617 or a standard automotive SPDT relay must be used on the H1/11 light flash output harness wire.
Relay for Negative (-) Disarm Wire H2/2 LIGHT GREEN/WHITE Relay for Positive (+) Disarm Wire (-) 200mA FACTORY ALARM ARM OUTPUT This wire sends a negative pulse every time the remote start shuts down or when the doors are locked with the remote. This can be used to pulse the arm wire of the vehicle’s factory anti-theft device. Use a relay to send a (-) or (+) pulse to the arm wire.
H2/5 WHITE/BLACK (-) 200mA AUX 3 OUTPUT This wire provides 200 mA programmable output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling Aux 3 is pressed. This output can be programmed to provide the following types of outputs s s s s Validity: Output that sends a signal as long as the transmission is received. Latched: Output that sends a signal when the Aux channel button is pressed and continues until the same button is pressed.
WAIT-TO-START bulb in the dashboard. In most diesels the wire is negative (ground turns on the bulb) and the GRAY/BLACK wire can be directly connected to the wire in the vehicle. If the vehicle uses a positive wire (12V to turn on the bulb) a relay must be used to change the polarity. The system has a programmable onboard timer (See Feature menu #3, feature #9) so it is not mandatory to connect to the wait-to-start wire in the vehicle.
to be used like a siren output with arm/disarm honks. Refer to System Features Menu#1, Feature 10, for more information. ¢ Heavy Gauge, 10-pin connector There are 9 heavy gauge wires coming from the large 10-pin connector. They are used to energize the ignition circuits in the vehicle. It is crucial to ensure that these connections are capable of handling the current demands. For this reason, Scotch-Locks, T-taps and other such connectors are strongly discouraged.
H3/7 PINK/WHITE (+) IGNITION 2 FLEX RELAY OUTPUT This wire is factory programmed as Ignition 2 and can be programmed as a 2nd accessory for 2nd starter. H3/8 PINK/BLACK 87a OF IGNITION 2 FLEX RELAY This wire is used when an ignition switch isolation on the vehicle is necessary This is common on Toyota and Nissan's which require the use of Tech Tip document #1077.
2 VIOLET/WHITE TACHOMETER INPUT WIRE This input provides the module with information about the engine’s revolutions per minute (RPMs). It can be connected to the uncommon colored wire of the fuel injector, the crankshaft position sensor, the camshaft position sensor or the negative side of the coil in vehicles with conventional coils. In multi-coil and high energy ignition systems locating a proper signal may be more difficult. (See Finding the Wires You Need section of this guide.
¢ Remote start auxiliary output, 5-pin These signals are provided to drive additional optional relays. 1 PINK/WHITE (-) 200mA FLEX RELAY CONTROL OUTPUT This wire is programmed as (-) 2nd ignition output from factory and can be programmed (to drive a relay) as a (-) starter or an accessory output. 2 ORANGE (-) 200mA ACCESSORY OUTPUT This wire works like the main accessory wire and can be used (with a relay) to drive any additional accessory circuits in the vehicle.
¢ Door lock wire diagrams Important: Depending on the vehicle, the door locks may be controlled by an optional data bus expansion module. If so, no door lock interface wiring is required. There are eight different types of door lock systems (Type A - H). The more common type of door lock systems are Type A or Type B. Any other, Types C thru H, require external relays or a Directed Electronics 451M. Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays.
Neutral safety switch interface Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, the vehicle has a mechanical neutral safety switch that physically interrupts the starter wire and is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the remote start is interfaced before this switch, it will provide protection from starting in gear. However, some vehicles combine the column shift mechanism and the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical part.
Plug-in LED and valet/program switch The LED and valet switch are incorporated into the control center, the LED line plugs into the white 2-pin port and the Valet switch line plugs into the blue 2-pin port. Note: Onboard LED and valet switch can be substituted with an optional outboard LED (P/N 8634 for Blue LED and 8633 for red LED) and an outboard valet switch (P/N 8631). Bitwriter interface - 3-pin black plug The black 3-pin port is provided for programming the unit using the Bitwriter (p/n 998T).
Alarm trigger inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds trigger the WarnAway response, while inputs longer than 0.8 seconds triggers the Full Alarm sequence. Note: You need to add a 4-pin plug to interface with any hardwired switches Tachometer settings ¢ Virtual tach To program Virtual Tach: 1. 2. 3. 4. After the install is complete, remote start the car. If the car does not start on the first attempt, let the remote start attempt again.

After 3 seconds the LED lights constant when the tach signal is learned. 4. Release the Valet/Program switch. ¢ Tach threshold On/Off In most cases, this jumper can be left in the Off position. Some new vehicles use less than 12 volts in their ignition systems. The unit may have trouble learning the tach signal in these vehicles.
D2D Jumper settings The security system has the ability to work with a compatible module through the D2D lines. There are two settings: one for using an internal docking module, (p/n XK 400N) or an external docking XK module. Jumpers Jumper settings when using an onboard D-2-D module (factory setting) Jumper settings when using an external D-2-D module Jumpers Setting the light flash polarity Light flash (+) / (-) polarity The internal fuse is used to determine the light flash output.
