TRANSMITTER CODE LEARNING 
 

All AutoStart transmitters do not come pre-
programmed. They must be “CODE LEARNED” at 
the time of installation. The unit will hold up to 4 
transmitter codes in memory.  
 

To program a new transmitter: 

 
1.  Raise the Hood. 
2.  Turn Valet switch “OFF”. 
3.  Turn Ignition “ON”. 
4.  Turn Valet switch “ON”. 

(Parking lights SHOULD turn ON for 5 
seconds) 

5.  Press LOCK on transmitter within 5 seconds of 

step 4. (Parking lights will flash 5 times fast, 
and 2 times slow) 

6.  Turn Ignition OFF and close the Hood. 
 

NOTE: STOP button on 1205 has NO function. 

 
 

MULTI CAR OPERATION 

(Only available on 

AS-1203/1204/ 1205 & 1214) 

 

*To program transmitter to second vehicle for 
multi-car operation, you must press TRUNK on 
the transmitter in step 5 of transmitter code 
learning.  

(See above for Transmitter code learning)

 

 
The AS-1203/1204/1205/1214 systems have the 
multi-car operation feature. 
This allows the owner of two AutoStart systems in 
two of his/her vehicles to control both systems with 
one transmitter.  (Both vehicles must be equipped 
with an AS-1203/1204/1205/1214. 
The remote transmitter of the primary vehicle can 
control the starter disable system, the door locks, 
and the remote car starter and trunk operation of the 
second vehicle.  
The remote transmitter of the second vehicle can 
also operate the primary vehicle. 
 
 

TACH ADJUSTMENTS 
 

AutoStart systems have two methods of fine-tuning 
the Tach signal that are generated from the vehicle, 
the first method is manual Tach

 

searching and 

setting, and the second is automatic Tach searching 
and setting. Either method can be used, however the 
automatic Tach searching is recommended. 

Tach 

adjustment procedures should be done every 
time a new unit is installed. 

 This is because the 

Tach signals from some ignition systems can 
sometimes be too high or too low, thus causing 
failed starts under different temperatures. 
 
 
 

The procedures for Tach adjustment are as 
follows: 

 
1.  Hold pin-switch (Hood switch) down for 4 

seconds. 

2.  Release pin-switch. Parking lights should come 

ON. 

3.  With Parking lights ON, immediately press and 

release pin-switch again. 

4.  Parking lights will stay ON for up to 20 seconds. 

(If not repeat from step 1) 

5.  With Parking lights ON press TRUNK of remote 

transmitter. (Parking lights will flash 1 to 7 
times) 

6.  Start the vehicle using the key. 

7. 

If Parking lights stays ON, then you have 
selected an incorrect Tach wire. 

(Relocate Tach 

wire and start from step 1)  

If Parking lights go 

OFF then proceed to the next step.

 

8. 

Allow vehicle to reach regular engine idle speed, 
then press and release brakes. (Parking lights 
will flash appropriate setting, from 1 to 7 
flashes)

 

9. 

Press TRUNK of remote transmitter, to save 
setting. (Parking lights will flash one long flash)

 

 

NOTE: A manual adjustment should only be done 
if the auto setting is not completing the crank 
cycle properly in cold weather. 
 
 
MANUAL TACH SEARCHING AND SETTING 
 

1.  Hold pin-switch (Hood switch) down for 4 

seconds. 

2.  Release pin-switch. Parking lights should come 

ON. 

3.  With Parking lights ON, immediately press and 

release pin-switch again. 

4.  Parking lights will stay ON for 20 sec. (If not 

repeat from step 1) 

5.  Press TRUNK of remote transmitter. Parking 

lights will flash 1 to 7 times. 

6.  Now you can increase or decrease the Tach 

settings, depending on your needs. 

7.  Press LOCK button on the transmitter will 

decrease the setting, and press START button 
will increase the setting. 

8.  After proper setting has been reached, press 

TRUNK to save setting. (Parking lights should 
flash once long)
