Option #7

“Enable” Feature

No “Enable”

This option cancels the “enable” mode safety feature. The “enable”
mode requires that the driver push the control switch “OFF” and then
“ON” again each time the driver removes the key from the ignition in
order to “enable” the vehicle for remote starter control. The switch
light will shine red when ready. This feature guards against undes-
ired starting of the vehicle by remote control. 

You must keep this

option as enable on all GM rear wheel drive and Dodge Dakota vehicles
manufactured prior to 1996.

Option #8

Normal

Daytime Running Lights

This option will turn the headlights on about 10 seconds after it sees
the ignition turn on and will turn the lights off when the ignition is
turned off.

Programming An Option:

If you want the factory setting, DO NOTHING and skip this section.  If
you want to change one or more of the features, then continue with
the following procedures:

1. Open the hood.

2. Turn the ignition ON (do not start the vehicle).

3. Press and HOLD the brake pedal.

4. Quickly press and release the programming button once.

5. Release the brake pedal.

6. The control LED will flash Red 1 time (signaling that you are now

in the Option Programming mode).

7. The LED color reflects the first option (Green LED is for Factory

setting, Red LED is for Optional setting). Pressing the brake pedal
advances to the next option.  By continuing to push the brake
pedal, the user will advance through all of the options and then
start back at Option #1 again.

8. After pushing the brake pedal, the LED flashes Red (the # of the

option) before turning Red or Green, reflecting the state of the
option (Green for factory setting, Red for Optional setting). Push
the programming button to change from the factory setting to
the option setting and vice versa.

9. If no options are selected or changed after 6 seconds the unit

will automatically exit programming.

10. Push the control switch so the LED is Red. The unit is now ready.

11. Turn off the ignition.

21. Changing Ignition 2 Function

Many newer vehicles turn off the Ignition 2 wire while the starter is
cranking. In these vehicles it is very important to have the remote
starter copy the starting sequence of the key exactly; otherwise the
vehicle's computer may show a fault code or not allow the vehicle to
start at all. For most GM vehicles, you do not need to change this
option.

To turn the thick GREEN Ignition 2 (IGN 2) wire off during crank:

1.

Unplug all wires and connections from the remote start module.

2.

Open the case of the remote start receiver module.

3.

Find the IGN 2 switch as shown in the following diagram. Of the
2 switches shown, The IGN 2 switch is the switch closest to the
center of the circuit board as shown in the diagram.

4.

Move the IGN 2 switch to the OFF position.

5.

Close the case and plug in all of the wire connectors.

SPECIAL CASES

1) How to Use a Relay

Many of the optional steps require a relay to be hooked up.  The most
common relay used for this type application is the Bosch type relay
(Radio Shack Cat.# 275-226).  Use the diagram for a typical hookup. If
you have another relay then you need to know that pins 85 and 86 in this
diagram relate to the coils of the relay.  Pin 30 is the ‘common’, and pin
87 is the ‘normally open’ contact.  If your relay has a pin 87A in the
middle it is the normally closed contact and is only used for lock/unlock
situations. (The diagram is typical for an Ignition 3 or trunk application).
