This system is to be used in vehicles with 

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS

 only! Although this combination

Keyless Entry/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.

Vehicle MUST HAVE a Tach Signal Input, and an Automatic Transmission.

INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE:

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 module or wiring may wrap around
or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen
location using cable ties or screws as necessary.

Note:

 Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.

HOOD PIN SWITCH:

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.

 Mount the switch in

a location away from water drain paths. If necessary, an optional bracket may be used to move the switch
away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In both cases the switch must
be set up to allow the hood to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood is closed and fully
extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check
behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well
socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin
switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.

THE PUSH-BUTTON/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY:

The Spread Sprectrum 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 pro-
vided. After securing the antenna with tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to a fixed
support. This will prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to
extreme heat which may loosen its gummed surface. Route the 4 pin and two 2 pin connectors toward the
control module using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control
module.
