a three button transmitter) on another transmitter for a few seconds until the red
LED light and the dash lights come on for a second again.
E. 5 seconds after the last time the transmitter was learned the unit exits the
code-learning stage. (The red LED light, ignition and accessories flash 4 times).
Note:
Teaching the module a new transmitter code will erase all previous codes –
so all transmitters must be taught. You have only 5 seconds between transmitters
to begin teaching a new transmitter.
3. Diesel Vehicles
For the most reliable starting of diesel vehicles, hook up the RED/BLACK wire
referenced in section 20. This wire can be difficult to hook up but is not required.
For difficult starting diesels connect and learn the tach (section 12) as well as the
wait-to-start RED/BLACK wire (section 20). Set option 6 (section 24) for diesel
vehicles.
For most diesel vehicles, you can start the vehicle without needing to hook up a tach
wire. The following table provides the mandatory option settings for “no-tach”
operation in diesel vehicles. (Use the Chrysler settings for all other diesel vehicles.)

4. Factory Anti-Theft Systems
Many vehicles come with an anti-theft system that must be temporarily bypassed for
the vehicle to be remotely started. Some systems use a resistor in the key. Others
use a transponder – a small device in the key that communicates a high security
code to the vehicle before the vehicle will successfully start.
Check the list of vehicles and the types of security systems. If your vehicle is listed,
your vehicle has an Anti-Theft System that the remote starter MUST temporarily
bypass in order to start the vehicle. More information about the factory anti-theft
systems and vehicle wire colors can be found on the DesignTech Website at
www.designtech-intl.com.
DesignTech has developed a Universal Alarm Bypass Module sold under the following
model numbers: #20402, #27402, or #29402. This module will temporarily bypass
the factory anti-theft systems when using the remote starter. Check with your local
retailer/installer to purchase this Universal Alarm Bypass Module or contact
DesignTech directly.
