This Remote Start is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this sys-
tem is a sophisticated device with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle with
manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and property damage!

Installation Of The Major Components:
Control Module: Part # 1365401
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 mod-
ule or wiring may wrap around or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. The
module will be secured after all wiring is completed which will allow complete access until the job is done.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.

Hood Pin Switch: Part # 1363699
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.
THE PUSH-BUTTONPROGRAM SWITCH/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY: PART # 1181258
The Superheterodyne Transceiver 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.

Neutral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation
method. In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all
mechanical switch configurations.
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage.
In all installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and ensure
that the vehicle cannot start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral.
In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the Yellow wire
will be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12
volts when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 volts in all
other ignition switch positions.
NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the
electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay,
( when used ) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram.
Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the of the neutral safety switch can result in per-
sonal injury and property damage.

WIRING CONNECTIONS: 20 Pin Accessory Input/Output Harness PART # 1124298

1 Green w/ White trace Wire: Entry Illumination Ground Output

This wire provides a 30 second ground output, (300 mA Max.), whenever the remote is used to disarm
the alarm or to unlock the doors. It also provides a continuous pulsed output whenever the alarm is
triggered. This wire should be connected to an external relay and wired to the vehicles interior entry
lighting circuit whenever the optional Entry Interior Illumination feature is desired.

2 LT. Blue Wire: Ground Output While Running (-) 300mA

This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 1.5 seconds before the Remote Start
Unit initializes and remains grounded while running plus an additional 2 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. Sensor By Pass:
If there is a Non Plug in Sensor used with the alarm system and it is not shunted during the Remote
Start activation period, then vibration or noise from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger.
In this case, connect the Light Blue Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay. Connect terminal # 85
of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source. Cut the sensor's trigger wire and connect one end
of the cut wire to terminal #30 and the other end of the cut wire to terminal #87a. Just before the
Remote Start unit is activated, the relay contacts will open, preventing the sensor's operation until
the Remote Start unit shuts off.
B. Additional Ignition Output:
Some vehicle's may require more than three ignition outputs to start and keep the vehicle's engine
running. If this is the case, connect the Light Blue wire to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect
terminal # 85 to a fused + 12 volt source. Dependent on the vehicle's requirement, connect terminal
#30, to a fused + 12 volt source, or to ground, and connect terminal 87 to the vehicle to supply the
additional ignition source.
C. GM VATS Key Override:
If the vehicle has the General Motors VATS system installed, you will need to bypass the system while
the vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. To Do This:
1. Measure the resistance of the resistor pellet on the ignition key then select a resistor within 5% of
the key's value
2. Locate the pair of VATS wires in the vehicle, usually a pair of thin gauge wires running from the
ignition switch to the VATS control module.
NOTE: These wires are typically White w/ Black trace and Violet w/ Yellow trace, however in later model
Cadillacs, they are run through an orange sleeve, and are either both Black, both Yellow, or both
White wires. Consult the factory service manual for additional information.
3. Connect the Light Blue Wire from the Remote Start Unit to terminal #86 of an external relay. Con-
nect terminal #85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source.
4. Cut (#1) wire (as shown), and connect the ignition switch side of the cut wire to terminal #87a of
the relay. Connect the other side of the (#1) wire to terminal #30.
5. Connect the previously selected resistor from terminal #87 to the second (#2) wire (as shown).
NOTE: The above information and following diagram is for the GM VATS system only.

3 Black w/ White trace Wire: 300 mA Horn Output

The black w/ white trace wire is provided to beep the vehicle’s horn. This is a transistorized low current
output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle’s horn switch.
If the vehicle uses a + 12 VDC horn switch, then connect the black w/ white trace
wire to terminal 86 of a 30Amp automotive relay, and connect relay terminal 85 to a fused
+ 12 VDC battery source. Connect relay terminal 87 to the vehicle’s horn switch output, and connect relay
terminal 30 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source.

4 Brown Wire: (+) Inhibit Shut Down

Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown wire, the Remote Starter will be prevented from operating,
even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If there is a neutral start wire in the vehicle that switches
+ 12 volts when the vehicle is in any gear other than Park or Neutral, this wire can be connected to that
vehicle wire to prevent starting while in gear.

5 Brown w/ Black trace Wire: Positive Inhibit Input

The Brown w/ Black Trace wire provides an instant shutdown for the Remote Start Control module when-
ever it gets + 12 volts. If the Brake lights switch in the vehicle switches + 12 volts to the brake light circuit,
connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the output side of the brake switch. This will allow the Remote
Start to shut down if an attempt is made to operate the vehicle without the key while running under the
control of the Remote Start. In most vehicles, in order to shift into gear, the brake pedal must be depressed.
The brake input will in turn cause the remote start unit to shut off.

6 DK. Blue w/ Black trace Wire: External Trigger Input
The Dark Blue/Black trace wire allows the remote start unit to be activated from an external source. The
intent of this wire is to allow the unit to be controlled from a "Car Connection" / or "CAR-LINK" paging
system or similar device. When this wire receives a ground pulse, the unit will start the vehicle. Connect
this wire to a ground pulsed output from the controlling circuit.

7 Orange w/ Black trace Wire: (-) Parking Brake Input

This wire is used only when the turbo timer mode, Bank 3, feature # 16 is selected ON. This input insures
that the vehicle parking brake is applied whenever the vehicle is set up for and the turbo timer circuit is
used. This input must switch to ground when the vehicle's parking brake is applied. Connect the Orange/
Black wire to the negative output of the vehicle's parking brake switch.

8 Green w/ Yellow trace Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input

Note this wire will, as a defrost output, only operate when running under control of the remote start,,,it
will not operate when the vehicle is running under the control of the ignition key.
When the key & remote start are off, the output will operate as indicated above.

13 DK. Blue w/ Red trace Wire : Delayed 300 mA Pulsed Output / Channel 7

The light blue/red wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter.
This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.
WARNING: Connecting the light blue/red to the high current circuits, will damage the control module.
Connect the light blue/green to terminal 86 of a 30 A automotive relay, and wire the remaining relay con-
tacts to perform the selected function of channel 7.

14 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 vehi-
cle 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 factory anti-theft system is disarmed. This wire will also
activate when the transmitter is used to arm/lock the system. This output can be selected to operate in
a number of different configurations as shown in selectable feature # 21 of Bank 3.

15 Black w Blue trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output Before Start

The Black w/ Blue Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output 500mS before GWR
becomes active as well as when the transmitter is used to disarm the system. Typical use for this output
would be to disarm a factory theft deterrent system to prevent false triggering of the factory alarm when
the remote start unit engages or when the system is used to unlock the doors. This will also activate when
the transmitter is used to disarm/unlock the system
NOTE: This output can be selected to operate like the door unlock output as set in alarm feature setting
#1 by selecting feature #19 in Bank 3 for 2 Chirps or any other pulse timing shown for that feature selection.

16 Black w/ Red trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Shutdown

The Black w/ Red Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output 2 seconds after the
remote starts GWR wire shuts down. This output will occur regardless of whether the circuit times out or
is manually terminated. Typically this output will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock
automatically when the ignition circuit transitions to off. This output is selectable and can function as de-
scribed in feature selection of bank 3 feature #22.

17 Black w/ Yellow trace Wire: Ground Output During Start (Crank)

The Black w/ Yellow Trace wire will provide a 300 mA ground output while the starter output of the remote
start unit is active. This output can be used to activate the Crank Low/Bulb Test wire found in some GM
vehicles. This wire is also referred to as the ECM wake up wire in some vehicles.
NOTE: The outputs above are low current outputs and must be used with a relay if the circuit's require-
ment is more than 300 mA. This output is also selectable and can preform an alternate function as shown
in feature selection bank 3 Feature #20.

3 Wire Positive Switched Door Locks:
For three wire positive door lock circuits, you will have to invert the output of the door lock wires, with
relays or with the "DLVI" Door Lock Voltage Inverter. The DLVI converts a negative pulse to a 1A positive
pulse. When using the DLVI, cut the 3 Pin Green & Blue Connector, and splice the Blue form the DLVI
to the Green Door unlock Wire of the 2 or 3 pin module's door lock harness, and splice the Green of the
DLVI to the Red Door Lock Wire of the 2 or 3 pin module's door lock harness. Connect the Red From the
DLVI to a fused 12 Volt Source. Connect the Blue (+) Unlock control output from the DLVI to the vehicles
low current (+) Door Unlock Wire. Connect the Green (+) Lock control output fromthe DLVI to the vehicles
low current (+) Door Lock Wire.

HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN:

The intent of the hood pin safety shut down is to prevent the Remote Start unit from being activated while
a mechanic or vehicle owner is performing normal routine vehicle maintenance.
To test the integrity of this circuit:
1. With the drivers window in the down position, start the vehicle using the RF transmitter.
2. Reach inside the car and pull the hood release.
3. Raise the hood and confirm that the remote start unit shuts down.
If the unit fails this test, recheck your pin switch connection to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit.

DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE
OPERATION OF THE HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN FEATURE.
REMOTE START OVERRIDE MODE / MANUAL SHUT DOWN:

The intent of the remote start override / manual shut down circuit is to allow the vehicle operator to prevent
operation of the Remote Start Unit regardless of the RF transmitter operation.

To Enter The Remote Start Override Mode:

1) With the system disarmed/unlocked, and the ignition switch off Press and Hold the pushbutton switch
located on the transceiver unit on.

2) Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.

3) The LED begins to flash two short flashes followed by one long flashes and continues this pattern
until returned to normal mode of operation.

The action above puts the unit into the Remote Start Override mode or vehicle service mode and will
not start from the RF transmitter or any other input.

To Exit Remote Start Override Mode:

1) With the system disarmed, Press and Hold the pushbutton switch on.

2) Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.

3) The LED turns off indicating that the R/S unit is fully functional one again.

DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE
OPERATION OF THE MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE FEATURE.

NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST:

The intent of the neutral start switch is to prevent the vehicle from starting while the gear selector is in
any position other than Park, or Neutral. When installing a Remote Start Device, it is imperative that the
Yellow Starter wire be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. Consideration for
the placement of a starter inhibit relay is important as well and should be connected to the ignition
switch side of the Yellow Start Wire.

19

128-9447
19 of 28

To test the integrity of the Neutral Start Safety Circuit:

1) Set the vehicle parking brake.

2) Block the drive wheels to prevent vehicle movement.

3) Temporarily disconnect the Brown/Black positive shut down wire from the vehicle's brake switch.

4) Sitting in the vehicle, start the engine using the vehicle's ignition key.

5) Step on the brake pedal and shift the gear selector into reverse.

6) Allow the transmission to shift. When you feel the engine pull, do not move the gear selector just turn
the ignition switch off. DO NOT attempt to remove the key.

7) Keeping the brake pedal depressed, activate the RF transmitter in an attempt to start the vehicle.
The car should not start.
8) Repeat the above test this time move the gear selector to the drive position.

If the unit attempts to start, failing this test, recheck your Yellow Wire's connection. This wire must be
connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. If the vehicle you are working on
does not have an Electrical Neutral Safety Switch, it will be necessary to reconfigure the Remote Starts
Wiring to accommodate the vehicle. The information concerning the Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch
provided below will help you to determine if the vehicle you are working on has this type of safety
switch and will provide alternate wiring methods to accommodate this situation.

CAUTION! REMEMBER TO RECONNECT THE BROWN/BLACK NEUTRAL SAFETY WIRE
TEMPORARILY DISCONNECTED IN STEP 3

MECHANICAL NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH CONSIDERATIONS:

Mechanical neutral safety switch configurations differ slightly in that they do not offer the same level of
safety when installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear
selector is in any position other than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow the key to be
turned to the start position or be removed from the ignition cylinder. This configuration prevents mechanical
operation while the vehicle is in gear but offers no consideration for electrical operation. Because of this
potential problem, this installation requires the additional connection of a safety wire from the remote start
device to the vehicle Park/Neutral ECM Input or the vehicle key in sensor. This connection will prevent
remote start operation if the key is left in the ignition switch regardless of the gear selectors position.

DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION
OF THE MECHANICAL NEUTRAL SAFETY START FEATURE.

KEY IN SENSOR CIRCUITS:

If the vehicle you are working on does not have or you cannot locate the ECM reference wire, there are
two alternatives available. Although not preferred, the vehicle Key In Sensor may be reconfigured to al-
low a margin of safety and will prevent the vehicle with a Mechanical Neutral Start Switch from starting
in gear.
WE advises that you maintain the factory circuit whenever possible. The follow-
ing two circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available.

NOTE: When completing an installation using either of the following key in sensor circuits, if the opera-
tor inserts the ignition key while the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start, the vehicle
will shut down. This must be explained to the operator as it is in contrast to the normal operation of a
vehicle utilizing an electrical neutral start switch and is inconsistent with the operators manual.
Additional information concerning Key In Sensor methods 1 & 2 are listed below and should be re-
viewed before considering either alternative.
Method 1 will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting
while in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, if the key
is left in the ignition switch and the door is left opened, the added relay will be energized causing a
150mA drain on the battery.
Method 2 will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting
while in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, the original
factory key in chime module will not alert the owner that the key has been left in the ignition switch. In
addition, this may also effect other warning tones such as the light on reminder.
These situations should be carefully considered before altering the vehicle's wiring and must be fully
explained to the consumer.
