WARNING!

  This unit is to be used in vehicles with 

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS

 only!  Although this 

combination Alarm/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, 

IT MUST 

NOT 

be installed into a vehicle with a 

manually operated transmission

.  Doing so may result in serious 

personal injury and property damage!

INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:

 CONTROL MODULE:   

PART # 1365404

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard).  The mounting  

location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin 

main wiring harness. Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the 

vehicle.  Avoid mounting the module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the mod-

ule or wiring may wrap around or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle.  The 

module will be secured after all wiring is completed which will allow complete access until the job is done. 

Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment

, as it is not waterproof.

SIREN:    PART# 

AS9903E

Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle.  The selected 

location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment  The siren must be pointed 

downward to prevent water retention and the open or flared end must be pointed away from and out of 

the engine compartment for maximum sound distribution.  Before securing the siren, check behind your 

chosen location to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. 

Secure the siren mounting bracket using #8 self taping screws.  

 HOOD PIN SWITCH:   

PART # 1363699

The pin switch included in this package is intended for protecting the hood area of the vehicle.  In all cases, 

the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface.  When the pin switch is activated, (hood open),  

it will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm.  In addition, the hood switch is required for 

the safety shut down of the remote start unit.  If the vehicle is being worked on,  this hood switch prevents 

the remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. 

 This switch must be installed in 

all applications.  Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage.
 THE PUSH-BUTTON SWITCH/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY:  

PART # 1181254

The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the 

dash board for maximum operating range.  Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle 

for best reception.  Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles 

utilize a metallic shielded window  glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception.  In these vehicles, route 

the antenna toward a rear window location for best reception.  Secure the antenna with double stick tape 

provided.  

 SHOCK SENSOR: 

PART # AS9492a

Select a centrally located,  solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consistent operation 

from all areas of the vehicle.  The selected location must be within 18" of the control module to allow  

routing and connecting of the 4 pin harness.  Secure the shock sensor to the chosen location using two 

#8 self tapping sheet metal screws.  The sensor can also be secured to an existing dash brace using ca-

ble tie straps.  Whichever mounting method is used be sure to allow access to the sensitivity adjustment 

potentiometer for use later in the installation.

 STARTER INHIBIT RELAY: 

PART # 1363731

Select a mounting location within 12" of the ignition switch's low current start solenoid wire.  Secure the 

relay to an existing harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relay's wiring harness.

 CAUTION!

   Do not wire tie the metal bracket to an existing wiring harness as vibration may cause chaffing 

and shorting damaging the factory wiring.  If an existing harness is not available then secure 

the relay's metal mounting tab to an under dash metal brace with a #8 self tapping   sheet 

metal screw.  Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual.
