Installation Guide 

GREEN (–) 

Unlock 

output 

Programmable 500 mA, 7/10sec.,  4sec.,  double 1/4 sec. pulse or  1/10sec 

negative output. 

WHITE / 

BROWN 

(–)  

Arm output 

500 mA ground output when the 

 button is pressed. This output is activated 

500 ms before the LOCK pulse and deactivated at the same time as the LOCK 

pulse ends. 

Note: The system will also give an ARM/REARM pulse on this wire when it shuts 

down the vehicle after a remote start. 

WHITE / 

GREEN 

(–) 

Disarm 

output 

500 mA ground output when the   button is pressed. This wire is for disarming 

OEM Alarm systems. 

Note: System will also give a DISARM pulse before remote start. 

BLUE / 

WHITE 

(+) 

Positive 

Door input 

This input should be used in vehicles that use a positive-switching Dome Light 

circuit. Connect to a Dome Light wire t12 V with a Door open. 

CAUTION!  You can only use either the NEGATIVE DOOR INPUT or the 

POSITIVE DOOR INPUT wire. It is essential that the Module be connected in 

such a way as to allow each one of the Doors to be detected by the remote 

starter. 

WHITE / 

ORANGE 

(–)  

Starter Kill 

output 

The unit is equipped with a selectable passive- or active-arming Starter Kill circuit 

that will immobilize the vehicle when the system is armed. This wire will provide a 

constant 500-mA negative output when the system is armed (locked by remote) 

or if remote started. This wire should be connected to a Single Pole Double-

Throw Relay (This wire will connect to Pin 85, on the Relay, and Pin 86 will be 

connected to the Ignition wire). 

A second benefit of the Starter Kill is the Anti-Grind feature. When the vehicle 

has been remote started the Anti-Grind prevents the starter motor from re-

engaging when the ignition key is inserted in the Ignition switch and accidentally 

turned to the CRANK position (The Starter Kill output becomes active during 

remote starts). 

ORANGE 

(–) Parking 

Brake 

input 

This input is for manual transmission vehicle ONLY. It is used in the Ready 

Mode sequence and must be connected. The Parking Brake input must be given 

a ground signal (-) when the Parking Brakes are applied. 

PURPLE 

 (–) 

External 

Trigger 

input 

Programmable negative input (page-28). The External Trigger wire can be used 

to operate as a negative trigger with the Trunk pin-switch or the Key Sense wire 

(by default). The External Trigger wire can also be used for remote-starting/ 

stopping the vehicle with an external device. When the vehicle is running, 

triggering this input will also activate Idle Mode. 

10 

WHITE (–) 

Ground 

out when 

running 

This wire provides a constant 500 mA negative output while the vehicle is remote 

started. The output becomes active 1.5sec before Ignition, and becomes inactive 

when the Module shuts down. The output can be used to activate external relays, 

bypass kits, etc. 

CAUTION! If multiple relays or modules are connected to the Ground Out wire, 

ensure that they are all diode isolated in order to avoid feedback and damaging 

the vehicle.
