YELLOW w/ BLACK: + 12 Volt Alarm By - Pass Output

This wire provides a 500mA +12 Volt transistorized output when the ignition key is turned to the ON position, and
0 Volts when the ignition key is OFF and when the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start.  This
wire should be connected to the ignition input of the alarm system. The YELLOW w/BLACK wire output will allow
you to Remote Start  the vehicle  while leaving the alarm armed, and to lock/unlock  the doors while running
under control of the remote start system.

WHITE/RED and  WHITE Wires: Parking Light Output

These wires are the COMMON and NORMALLY OPEN contacts of the on-board parking light relay.  If the
vehicle's parking lights are a +12 volt switched system, connect the WHITE/RED wire to a fused (15A max.) +12
volt battery source, and connect the WHITE wire to the vehicle's parking light wire. If the vehicle's parking lights
are a chassis ground switched system, connect the WHITE/RED wire to a chassis ground source, and connect
the WHITE wire to the vehicle's parking light wire.

BLUE w/BLACK: Active output (-) Ignition 3 / Shock Disable Output

This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start system
initializes, and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start system
turns off.  In all of the applications described below, a relay will be required. The BLUE w/BLACK wire can be
used to accommodate the following situations:

1. Shock Sensor Bypass:

If there is Shock Sensor used with an alarm system and it is not shunted during the Remote Start activation
period, then vibration from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger.  In this case, connect the Blue/
Black Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay.  Connect terminal# 85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery
source.  Cut the shock sensor 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 system is activated, the relay contacts will open,
preventing the shock sensor's operation until the Remote Start system shuts off.

2. Ignition 3 Output:

Some newer vehicles use a third ignition wire which is required to start and keep the vehicle's engine running.
If this is the case, connect the BLUE w/BLACK wire to terminal #86 of an external relay.  Connect terminal # 30 &
# 85 to a fused + 12 volt battery source rated for a minimum of 25 Amp. Connect terminal # 87 to the third
ignition wire in the vehicle.
