***ALWAYS TEST AND CONFIRM THE PARK LIGHT POLARITY BEFORE MAKING
YOUR CONNECTION TO THE VEHICLE.
HYBRID MODE‘S
Hybrid mode 1 - This option requires a tach connection. Once the vehicle starts the system will not monitor
the tach input and stay running for 15 minutes.
Hybrid Mode 2- (No Tach wire connection)This setting will power up the ignition wires, pulse the start output
for 2 seconds then stay on/ run for 15 minutes. See Program Menu 4, Hybrid Mode 1& 2. Hybrid mode 2 was
designed for “Push to Start” systems and hybrid vehicles that may not actually start until the battery voltage
drops.
**Hybrid Mode 2 is also ideal for vehicles with no starter wire or “Automatic Starting”. This is when the
vehicle’s starter motor will continue to crank and start the vehicle even if the key is only turned to the start
position momentarily.
Hold the brake then start the vehicle with the key. Place the transmission into reverse to lower the
RPM. Press and release the button on the antenna twice. The system will chirp the Horn and
flash the park lights two times to confirm Tach Mode or chirp 4 times/ 4 flashes to indicate
Tachless Mode re-learn.

6-PIN CONNECTOR
4-PIN CONNECTOR
PIN-1 PURPLE Starter Output-This wire will test 0V when the key is off, in the Accessory position and
when the Ignition is in the on position. The starter wire is 12volts during the start/ crank position only.
PIN-2 ORANGE Heater/Acc Output-This wire will test 0V when key is off, 12volts in the ACC and IGN
positions and off during start/ crank position.
PIN-3 RED 12volt Input(30amp)- This input supplies the 12volt power for the Ignition, Park Lights
and the Selectable output.
PIN-4 RED 12volt Input(30amp)- This input supplies the 12volt power for the Accessory and Starter
outputs.
PIN-5 PINK/WHITE Selectable Output - 2nd Ignition, Accessory or Start output. Programmable.
Note: This output does not switch to default when the system is reset.
PIN-6 PINK Ignition Output- This wire will test 0V in the off and Accessory positions the switch
to12volts in the Ignition and Start positions.
PIN-1 BROWN (+) Siren Output- Connect to the positive input to the alarm siren. This output is
programmable for horn activation. A relay is required to convert the polarity to a negative output.
PIN-2 ORANGE/BLACK Starter Kill/ Anti-Grind- This wire can be connected to an additional relay to
disable the start circuit when the lock button is pressed. The output will also stay on when remote started, this
will prevent the starter motor from being re-engaged while the vehicle is running.
PIN-3 WHITE Jumper Selectable Park Light Output (+ or -)- Connect to the vehicles positive
park light wire or change the jumper and connect to the vehicle negative park light wire. The default position of
the jumper is Positive Park light Output.
PIN-4 BLACK System Ground Input- Connect to chassis ground.
1-GREEN/WHITE Rearm(-) (Programmable) - Supplies one .75 second pulse when locked
and one .75 second pulse after remote start shutdown. Factory alarm re-arm/ RAP shutdown.
2-GREEN/BLACK Disarm(-) - .75 second pulse when unlock button is pressed and one
.75 second pulse before remote start activation. For factory alarm dis-arm/ “wake up”.
4-RED/WHITE Trunk Release(-) (Programmable)- Output will activate when the Trunk
button is held for at least 3 seconds.
5- ORANGE/WHITE 2nd Acc (-) / Auxiliary Output 2 (Programmable) This output can be
programmed to activate as an auxiliary output when the trunk and start buttons are held.
7- BROWN Brake Switch input (+) - This wire must be connected to the wire at the
brake switch that changes to 12volts when the brake is pressed.
8- BLACK/WHT NOT USED
9- GRAY Hood Pin Input (-) - Connect this wire to the supplied hood pin switch.
If ground is detected on this input the remote starter will not activate.
10- PURPLE/WHITE Tach Wire Input (A/C) - This wire is used to to detect when the vehicle
has started. The Tach source is typically taken from a fuel injector, coil, coil pack or crank
position sensor. The Tach wire is generally found as the opposite from the common wire at the
coil or fuel injector.
12- PURPLE Positive Door Input (+)- Connect this wire to the door pin switch if it
changes to 12volts when the door is opened.
13- GREEN Negative Door Input (-) - Connect this wire to the door pin switch if it
changes to Negative when the door is opened.

4 PIN SHOCK SENSOR CONNECTOR
The supplied dual stage shock sensor connect’s directly to the shock sensor connector on the
remote starter module. The adjustment screw on the sensor will increase or decrease the
sensitivity. The first and second stage are controlled by the same adjustment screw.
Test the alarm sensitivity then adust as required. If the alarm is triggered 3 times in a row you
will need to cycle the ignition on then off to reset the shock sensor before testing again.
NOTES
If the system has been triggered (shock sensor, door input..), the siren will sound for
approximately 60 seconds. Press and release the lock or unlock button to silence the
siren (the system will remain armed). Press the unlock button to disarm the system. The
siren will chirp and the park lights will flash three times to indicate the system had been
triggered.
If the shock sensor is triggered 3 times in a row the system will ignore the shock sensor
until the ignition is turned cycled on then off.

TRANSMITTER -
PROGRAMMING
The system can lean up to 4 different remote transmitter codes. Each remote to be used MUST
be programmed together during the same sequence. For security, when a new remote is
programmed all previous remote’s that are not reprogrammed at this time will be deleted.
Now that the remote is set for CAR-2 “2". You can Program it along with the other remote’s to
the second vehicle. The remote now control the second vehicle functions. To go back to CAR-1
operation follow the steps above. Press the Unlock Button instead of Trunk to change back to
CAR-1 “1".

DIAGNOSTICS
SYSTEM PROGRAMMING - Menu 1 INSTALL MANUAL
DIAGNOSTICS CHART
If the remote starter does not activate when the start button is pressed the park lights will flash a diagnostic
to indicate what shutdown input has been triggered. For example: If the start button is pressed the park
lights flash 3 times slowly. Looking at the chart below this would indicate that the system is in Service Mode,
simply follow the instructions listed in the owners manual on exiting Service Mode and the remote starter
will begin to function as normal.
Step 1- Turn the ignition ON then OFF. Press and release the Program Button.
Step 2- The system will respond with three park light flashes and the Siren will chirp the same number of
times as the events in memory.
****Maximum four events, four honks****
NOTE: If the Siren does not chirp, there are no events in memory.
Step 3- Press the Program Button once to view the last shut down code. The Siren will chirp once to
confirm code one.
****If the Siren does not chirp, there are no codes in memory.****
Step 4- The LEDs on the antenna will flash a code corresponding to a shut down trigger. Press the
Program Button again for the second code.
***The Siren will chirp twice to confirm code two three time for code three...***
Step 5- To Clear Diagnostic Memory. While in Diagnostic Mode press and hold the Program Button for
five seconds. The park lights will flash and the Siren will chirp once.
****Once diagnostic memory has 4 shutdown events in memory, the system will not record any further
shutdown events until the system memory has been cleared.****
