This system is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combina-  
tion 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.  
MUST HAVE a Tach Signal Input, and an Automatic Transmission.  
INSTALLATIONOFTHEMAJORCOMPONENTS:  
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 hood pin switch included in this package 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 com-  
mand to start is issued. This hood pin switch MUST be installed in all applications. Failure to install the  
hood pin switch may result in personal injury or property damage. Mount the hood pin switch in an area  
under the hood that is away from water drain paths. If necessary, the included brackets may be used to  
move the hood pin switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In  
either case the hood pin switch must be set up to allow the hood to depress the switch at least 1/4" when  
the hood is closed and fully extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4" 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 hood 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 hood pin switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.  
PUSHBUTTON LED SWITCH  
Select a mounting location known and accessible to the operator of the vehicle. A dash knockout plug or  
front dash panel is desirable as the now Pushbutton LED assembly needs the LED to be visible from the  
outside of the vehicle and will be used for valet modes, programming features, programming transmitters,  
and for overriding the remote start unit when the vehicle is being serviced. Inspect behind the chosen  
location to insure that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not  
penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 5/16" or 8mm hole in the desired location and  
mount the switch by passing the connectors, one at a time, through the panel from the front side and  
pressing on the bezel until the switch is fully seated.  
THE RECEIVER/ANTENNAASSEMBLY:  
The ReceiverAntennaAssembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dashboard for maxi-  
mum 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. 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 connector toward the control module using caution not to pinch  
the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control module.

start relay and the accessory relay.  
This Remote Start System is designed for use with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The unit  
provides wait to start input for glow plug pre-heat which will be used for all diesel applications. If this wire  
is not connected, then the unit will remain in the Gasoline mode setting, which will crank the car when the  
RF signal is received with no delay. Regardless of the vehicle, Gasoline or Diesel, for every installation, the

AS SHOWN BELOW. FORADDITIONALINFORMATION SEE TECH UPDATE ISSUED 9/30/96.  
YELLOW WIRE: Starter Output  
Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from  
starting while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical  
Neutral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installa-  
tion method. In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all  
mechanical switch configurations.  
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage. In all installa-  
tions it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and assure that the  
vehicle cannot start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral.  
In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the Yellow wire will be  
made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 volts when  
the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 volts in all other ignition  
switch positions.

YELLOW w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: + 12 Volt Alarm By - Pass Output  
Note: You must disconnect the ignition input of the alarm from any other wire that it is presently connected  
to in the vehicle.  
This wire provides a + 12 Volt 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 starter.  
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 unit.  
(2) WHITE Wires: Parking Light Flasher  
These wires are the COMMON and NORMALLY OPEN contacts of the on-board parking lamp relay.  
If the vehicle's parking lights are a +12 volt switched system, connect (1) of the White wires to a fused (15A max.)  
+12 volt battery source, and connect the second White wire to the vehicle's parking light wire.  
If the vehicle's parking lights are a chassis ground switched system, connect (1) of the White wires to a chassis  
ground source, and connect the second White wire to the vehicle's parking light wire.

LIGHT BLUE Wire: Ignition 3 / Shock Disable Output  
This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start Unit initializes,  
and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start Unit turns off. In all of  
the applications described below, a relay will be required. The Light Blue wire can be used to accommodate the  
following situations:  
A. Shock Sensor By Pass:  
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 Light  
Blue 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 unit is activated, the relay contacts will open,  
preventing the shock sensor's operation until the Remote Start unit shuts off.  
B. 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 Light Blue 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.

C. GM VATS Key Override:  
If the vehicle has the General Motors VATS system installed, you will need to bypass the system while the vehicle is  
operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. To Do This;  
1. Measure the resistance of the resistor pellet on the ignition key then select a resistor within 5% of the key's  
value from the resistor pack supplied.  
2. Locate the pair of VATS wires in the vehicle, usually a pair of thin gauge wires running from the ignition switch  
to the VATS control module.  
Note: These wires are typically White w/ Black trace and Violet w/ Yellow trace, however in later model Cadillacs,  
they are run through an orange sleeve, and are either both Black, both Yellow, or both White wires. Consult  
the factory service manual for additional information.  
3. Connect the Light Blue Wire from the Remote Start Unit to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect terminal  
#85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source.  
4. Cut (#1) wire (as shown), and connect the ignition switch side of the cut wire to terminal #87a of the relay.  
Connect the other side of the (#1) wire to terminal #30.  
5. Connect the previously selected resistor from terminal #87 to the second (#2) wire (as shown).  
Note: The above information and following diagram is for the GM VATS system only. For GM PASS LOCK System  
you will require the Audiovox AS-PASS II Module.

Tachometer Input Wiring Detail  
GREEN/ORANGE Wire: Tach Sensor Input  
This wire will continually monitor the engine tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start module.  
This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine compartment and  
connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. This Remote Start unit learns the tach rate of the vehicle and in most  
cases will operate properly from one multi coil pack regardless of the number of cylinders. If the vehicle has a  
single coil unit for each cylinder, it may be necessary to connect this wire to more than one cylinder for proper tach  
reference. See multi coil wiring detail shown later in this manual for additional information.

Green/Yellow Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input  
The Green/Yellow wire will connect to a diesel vehicles glow plug wire. When the unit receives a start command,  
this wire must go to + 12 then to ground to allow the crank sequence to begin. When ignition #1 is activated by the  
remote start unit, the glow plug circuit gets energized, (+ 12 volts), when the glow plug circuit of the vehicle drops the  
+ 12 volts, which effectively grounds the wait to start input, then 500mS later the starter will engage. This wire can  
also be connected to the Glow Plug Bulb wire in the vehicle if this bulb wire gets + 12 volts when the ignition comes  
on and drops low when the glow plug circuits temperature is reached. Be sure to fuse the wire with a 1 Amp Fuse  
when connecting to a high current circuit such as a factory glow plug wire. The fuse should be installed as close  
to the high current wire as possible. If you are installing this unit in a Gasoline vehicle, this wire is not used.  
Note: If the Glow Plug sense wire, Green/Yellow is connected, this wire will have priority over the setting of feature  
Bank 3 Feature #11.  
WIRING THE 4 PIN AUXILIARY OUTPUT HARNESS  
The auxiliary 4 pin connector provides low current outputs to control various functions in the vehicle during  
different stages of the Remote Start unit's operation. Understanding these outputs and the time in which  
they occur will allow you to determine if they are needed for the particular vehicle you are working on as well  
as how to use them.  
Black w Blue Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output Before Start  
The Black w/ Blue Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output 1.5 second before the  
remote start unit activates as well as when the transmitter is used to disarm the system. Typical use for this  
output would be to disarm a factory theft deterrent system to prevent false triggering of the factory alarm  
when the remote start unit engages or when the transmitter is used to unlock the doors.  
Black w/ Light Green Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Start  
The Black w/ Light Green Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300mA pulsed ground output after the vehicle is  
started under control of the remote start unit. Typically this wire will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if  
the doors unlock automatically when the factory anti-theft system is disarmed.  
Black w/ Red Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Shutdown  
The Black w/ Red Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output after the remote start unit  
shuts down. This output will occur regardless of whether the circuit times out or is manually terminated.  
Typically this output will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically when the  
ignition circuit transitions to off.  
Black w/ Yellow Trace Wire: Ground Output During Start (Crank)  
The Black w/ Yellow Trace wire will provide a 300 mAground output while the starter output of the remote  
start unit is active. This output can be used to activate the Crank Low/Bulb Test wire found in some GM  
vehicles. This wire is also referred to as the ECM wake up wire in some Chrysler vehicles.  
Note: The outputs above are low current outputs and must be used with a relay if the circuit's requirement  
is more than 300 mA.  
Pushbutton LED Programming Switch Assembly: (2 Pin Blue & 2 Pin White Connectors)  
Route the gray and black wires in the 2 pin connector and the red and blue in the two pin connector from the previously  
installed push-button LED programming switch assembly to the control module and plug these into the mating blue  
and white connectors on the side of the module.  
2 Pin Transponder Control Output: (Yellow Connector)  
This output is intended to allow the control of a transponder bypass interface module or transponder  
bypass relay. The system also allows software selections to control the way in which this output oper-  
ates, see remote start feature # 10 for setting this output.  
When the unit is selected for output during the start sequence, this output will be active at the same time  
Ign. 3 becomes active, and will remain active until the vehicle has started. This will be used for one time  
read transponder circuits.  
When the unit is selected for transponder on, this output will become active at the same time ign. 3  
becomes active, and will remain active all the time the unit is operational under the control of the remote  
start. When the unit is selected for continuous and the vehicle is started via the Remote Start, this  
output will become active at the same time ign. 3 becomes active and will remain active until the ignition  
in the vehicle goes low. This will allow the unit to be used for continuous read transponders circuits.

3 Pin Door Lock/Unlock Harness: (White Connector)  
The Red and Green wires will provide either a pulsed ground output to the factory door lock control relay, or a  
pulsed + 12 volt output to the factory door lock control relay. In either case, the maximum current draw through  
these outputs must not exceed 300mA. The Red w/Black trace wire will provide a pulsed ground only, and will  
only provide an output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second time after a first unlock  
command was issued. This is used for second step unlock or all doors unlock in a two step circuit. In this  
arrangement, Red is used to control the drivers door unlock relay, and the Red/Black will be used to control unlock  
of all other doors.  
3 Wire Ground Switched Door Lock Circuits:  
In this application, the Red wire of the door lock harness provides a ground pulse during the arming sequence,  
or pulsed ground lock output. Connect the Red wire to the low current ground signal wire from the factory door  
lock switch to the factory door lock relay.  
The Green wire of the door lock harness provides a ground pulse during the disarming sequence, or pulsed  
ground unlock output. Connect the Green wire to the low current ground signal wire from the factory door unlock  
switch to the factory door unlock relay. See Below For Wiring Detail.  
3 Wire Positive Switched Door Locks:  
In this application, the Red wire of the door lock harness provides a + 12 volt pulse during the disarming  
sequence, or pulsed 12 volt unlock output. Connect the Red wire to the low current 12 volt signal wire from the  
factory door unlock switch to the factory door unlock relay.  
The Green wire of the door lock harness provides a + 12 volt pulse during the arming sequence, or pulsed 12 volt  
lock output. Connect the Green wire to the low current 12 volt signal wire from the factory door lock switch to the  
factory door lock relay. See Below For Wiring Detail.  
3 Wire Ground Switched 2 Step Door Locks  
In this application, the red wire provides a ground pulse during arming, or the pulsed ground lock output.  
Connect the red wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door lock switch to the  
factory door lock control relay.  
The green wire provides the first ground pulse during disarming, or the drivers door pulsed ground unlock  
output. Connect this wire to the drivers door unlock relay that requires a low current ground signal to unlock only  
the drivers door. If the vehicle does not have a separate drivers door relay, one will have to be added. Locate the  
drivers door unlock motor wire and cut it at a convenient location to allow wiring of an optional relay. Connect the  
door side of the cut wire to terminal 30 of the optional relay added. Connect the vehicle side of the cut wire to  
terminal 87a of the optional relay added. Connect the green wire of the 3 pin harness to terminal 86 of the optional  
relay added. Connect terminal 85 of the optional relay added to a fused constant + 12 volt source.

Most vehicles door lock/unlock motor legs rest at ground, and switch +12 volts to the door lock/unlock motor legs  
for operation, if this is the case in the vehicle you are working on, connect the remaining terminal, 87, to a fused +  
12 volt source. In the rare instance that the vehicle door lock/unlock motor legs rest at + 12 volts and switches  
ground to the door lock/unlock motors, connect the remaining terminal, 87, to chassis ground.  
The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second  
time after disarming. Connect the Red/Black wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the  
factory door unlock switch to the factory door unlock control relay.  
3 Wire Positive Switched 2 Step Door Locks  
The green wire provides a positive pulse during arming, or the pulsed + 12 volt lock output. Connect the green  
wire to the wire that provides a low current positive signal from the factory door lock switch to the factory door lock  
control relay.  
The red wire provides a positive pulse during disarming, or the drivers door pulsed positive unlock output.  
Connect this wire to the drivers door unlock relay that requires a low current positive signal to unlock only the  
drivers door. If the vehicle does not have a separate drivers door relay, one will have to be added. Locate the drivers  
door unlock motor wire and cut it at a convenient location to allow wiring of an optional relay. Connect the door side  
of the cut wire to terminal 30 of the optional relay added. Connect the vehicle side of the cut wire to terminal 87a of  
the optional relay added. Connect the red wire of the 3 pin harness to terminal 86 of the optional relay added.  
Connect terminal 85 of the optional relay added to chassis ground. Most vehicles door lock/unlock motor legs rest  
at ground, and switch +12 volts to the door lock/unlock motor legs for operation, if this is the case in the vehicle you  
are working on, connect the remaining terminal, 87, to a fused + 12 volt source. In the rare instance that the vehicle  
door lock/unlock motor legs rest at + 12 volts and switches ground to the door lock/unlock motors, connect he  
remaining terminal, 87, to chassis ground.  
The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second  
time after disarming. Because the vehicle you are working on requires a positive pulse from the factory door lock  
switch to the factory door lock control relay, you will have to add a relay to invert the output polarity of this wire.  
Connect the Red/Black wire to terminal 86 of the optional added relay. Connect terminal 85 & 87 to a fuse + 12 volt  
source. Connect terminal 30 to the low current door unlock wire from the factory door switch to the door unlock  
control relay.  
Note: Resistive Circuits, As Well As 4 Wire Polarity Reversal and 5 Wire Alternating 12 Volt  
Door Lock Control Circuits  
These applications require the use of additional components which may include relays, fixed resistors, or for  
convenience, the AS 9159 Door Lock Interface. Refer to the AUDIOVOX Door Lock Wiring Supplement and or the

Green w/ Black Trace Wire: 300mA Latched Channel 4 Output  
The Green w/ Black Trace wire supplies a 300 mA switched output whenever channel four of the receiver is  
accessed. Pressing the pre-programmed transmitter button(s) will access channel four and will remain  
active, for up to 20 seconds, as long as the transmitter button(s) is held. This is a low current output and  
must be connected to a relay to supply power to the device you intend to control. Connect Green w/ Black  
Trace wire to terminal #86 of a VF45F11 P&B relay or equivalent. Connect terminal #85 of the relay to a  
fused + 12 volt source. Connect the common, normally open, and normally closed contacts of the relay to  
perform the selected function of the channel 4 output.  
Note: This wire also can be used for defrost activation as dictated by the setting of feature # 1 of Bank 3.  
Anytime the vehicle is running under control of the Remote Start and Channel 4 is activated, then  
dependent on the selection of this feature, Green/Black will be activated as a pulse for 1 second, or  
for 10 minutes. Note this wire will not operate when the vehicle is running under the power of the  
ignition key, only while under the control of the remote start or if not used for defrost then an output  
will occur as indicated above.

3 Pin Input/Output Harness:  
Dark Blue/Black Trace Wire: External Trigger Input  
The Dark Blue/Black trace wire allows the remote start unit to be activated from an external source. The  
intent of this wire is to allow the unit to be controlled from a "POSSE/CAR-LINK" paging system or similar  
device. When this wire receives a ground pulse, the unit will start the vehicle. Connect this wire to a ground  
pulsed output from the controlling circuit.  
Green w/ White Trace Wire: Entry Illumination Ground Output  
This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max.) whenever the remote is used to unlock the  
doors . This wire should be connected to an external relay, and wired to the vehicles interior entry lighting  
whenever the optional Interior Illumination circuit is desired. See below for relay wiring details.  
Black w/ White Trace Wire: 300 mA Horn Output  
The black w/ white trace wire is provided to beep the vehicle’s horn. This is a transistorized low current  
output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle’s horn switch.  
If the vehicle uses a + 12 VDC horn switch, then connect the black w/ white trace wire to terminal 86 of the  
AS 9256 relay ( or an equivalent 30 Amp automotive relay ), and connect relay terminal 85 to a fused + 12  
VDC battery source. Connect relay terminal 87 to the vehicle’s horn switch output, and connect relay termi-  
nal 30 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source.

Multi Coil Pack Adapter: (Optional)  
The multi coil pack adapter, (P/N 136B1400), is designed for use with vehicles that do not respond to single  
coil tach programming. Although the tach resolution of this circuit is designed to interface direct with most  
vehicles, there may be an occasion where the following circuit may be required.  
To use the adapter, the Green/Black wires must connect to the negative side of the ignition coil(s).  
1. For vehicles utilizing independent coils per cylinder, connect the three Green/Black leads to alternate  
coils. To achieve optimum performance the coil signals must be evenly distributed. This is accomplished  
by first mapping out the firing order of the engine in groups of as indicated below. Draw a circle around  
any of the columns. The Green/Black wires should be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the  
respective cylinder number which appears in any of the circles.  
2. For vehicles utilizing 2 cylinder firing per coil pack, connect Green/Black to the tach side of each coil  
pack. For 8 cylinder, four coil systems, connect to any of the three coils.  
3. Connect the Yellow wire to a +12 volt ignition 1 source. This wire will have +12 volts with the ignition in the  
on and start position and have 0 volts with the ignition in the off position.  
4. Connect the Green wire to the (Green) or (Orange/Green) tach input of theAudiovox remote start unit.

TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION:  
W A R N I N G ! ! The following procedure must be performed after the installation of anAudiovox Remote  
Start Device. It is the responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests. Failure to test the  
unit in the following manner may result in personal injury, property damage, or both.  
HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN:  
The intention of the hood pin safety shut down is to prevent the Remote Start unit from being activated while  
a mechanic or vehicle owner is performing normal routine vehicle maintenance.  
To test the integrity of this circuit:  
1. With the driver's window in the down position, start the vehicle using the RF transmitter.  
2. Reach inside the car and pull the hood release.  
3. Raise the hood and confirm that the remote start unit shuts down.  
If the unit fails this test, recheck your pin switch connection to the Gray/Black wire of theAudiovox Remote  
Start Unit.  
WA R N I N G ! !  
DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE  
OPERATION OF THE HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN FEATURE.  
MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE CIRCUIT:  
The intent of the manual shut down / enable circuit is to allow the vehicle operator to prevent operation of the  
Remote Start Unit regardless of the RF transmitter operation.  
1) With the system disarmed/unlocked, and the ignition switch off Press and Hold the PRLED on.  
2) Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.  
3) The LED begins to flash two short flashes followed by one long flashes and continues this pattern until  
returned to normal mode of operation.  
This puts the unit into the R/S Override mode indicating that the remote start is in the service mode and  
will not start from RF or any other input Posse or otherwise.  
To Exit R/S Override Mode  
1) With the system disarmed, Press and Hold the PRLED on.  
2) Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.  
3) The LED turns off indicating that the R/S unit is fully functional one again.  
WA R N I N G ! !  
DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE  
OPERATION OF THE MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE FEATURE.  
NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST:  
The intent of the neutral start switch is to prevent the vehicle from starting while the gear selector is in any  
position other than Park, or Neutral. When installing a Remote Start Device, it is imperative that the Yellow  
Starter wire be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. Consideration for the  
placement of a starter inhibit relay is important as well, and should be connected to the ignition switch side  
of the Yellow Start Wire.  
To test the integrity of the Neutral Start Safety Circuit:  
1. Set the vehicle parking brake.  
2. Block the drive wheels to prevent vehicle movement.  
3. Temporarily disconnect the Brown/Black positive shut down wire from the vehicle's brake switch.  
4. Sitting in the vehicle, start the engine using the vehicle's ignition key.  
5. Step on the brake pedal and shift the gear selector into reverse.  
6. Allow the transmission to shift. When you feel the engine pull, do not move the gear selector just turn the  
ignition switch off. DO NOT attempt to remove the key.  
7. Keeping the brake pedal depressed, activate the RF transmitter in an attempt to start the vehicle. The car  
should not start.

8. Repeat the above test this time move the gear selector to the drive position. If the unit attempts to start,  
failing this test, recheck your Yellow Wire's connection. This wire must be connected to the ignition switch  
side of the Neutral Start Switch. If the vehicle you are working on does not have an Electrical Neutral  
Safety Switch, it will be necessary to reconfigure the Remote Starts Wiring to accommodate this vehicle.  
The information concerning the Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch provided below will help you to deter-  
mine if the vehicle you are working on has this type of safety switch and will provide alternate wiring  
methods to accommodate this situation.  
WA R N I N G ! !  
REMEMBER TO RECONNECT THE BROWN/BLACK WIRE TEMPORARILY  
DISCONNECTED IN STEP 3.  
DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION OF  
THE NEUTRALSAFETY START FEATURE.  
MECHANICALNEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH CONSIDERATIONS:  
Mechanical neutral safety switch configurations differ slightly in that they do not offer the same level of safety  
when installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear selector is  
in any position other than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow the key to be turned to the  
start position or be removed from the ignition cylinder. This configuration prevents mechanical operation while  
the vehicle is in gear but offers no consideration for electrical operation. Because of this potential problem,  
this installation requires the additional connection of a safety wire from the remote start device to the vehicle  
Park/Neutral ECM Input or the vehicle key in sensor. This connection will prevent remote start operation if the  
key is left in the ignition switch regardless of the gear selector position.  
PARK / NEUTRAL ECM INPUT:  
The Park / Neutral ECM input is the preferred method of installation. This not only maintains the integrity of  
the factory circuit, it is also the easiest to install, providing the vehicle you are working on has this ECM input.  
The installation required for this application (shown below), indicates the slight reconfiguration of the control  
switch wiring and the addition of a 4000 series diode. Shown is a typical GM Park/Neutral ECM input circuit.  
To connect the Audiovox remote start unit to the GM Park / Neutral ECM input:  
1. Locate the Orange / Black reference wire in the "C2" connector found at the ECM in GM B Body vehicles  
or, locate the equivalent reference wire in the vehicle you are installing theAudiovox Remote Start Unit in.  
2. Connect the Cathode, (Striped) end, of a 4000 series diode to this reference wire.  
3. Connect theAnode, (Non Striped) end, of the diode to one side of the Remote Start enable switch.  
4. Connect the other side of the enable switch to the Black/White enable input wire of the Remote Start unit.  
The reference diagram below shows a typical GM B Body ECM reference wire and how it is to be connected  
to the Remote Start Unit.  
KEY IN SENSOR CIRCUITS:  
If the vehicle you are working on does not have or you cannot locate the ECM reference wire, there are two  
alternatives available. Although not preferred, the vehicle Key In Sensor may be reconfigured to allow a  
margin of safety and will prevent the vehicle with a Mechanical Neutral Start Switch from starting in gear.  
AUDIOVOXADVISES THATYOU MAINTAIN THE FACTORYCIRCUITWHENEVER POSSIBLE. The follow-  
ing two circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available.

Note: When completing an installation using either of the following key in sensor circuits, if the operator  
inserts the ignition key while the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start, the vehicle  
will shut down. This must be explained to the operator as it is in contrast to the normal operation of  
a vehicle utilizing an electrical neutral start switch and is inconsistent with the operator's manual.  
Additional information concerning Key In Sensor methods 1 & 2 are listed below and should be reviewed  
before considering either alternative.  
Method 1 will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting while  
in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder. However, if the key is left in  
the ignition switch and the door is left opened, the added relay will be energized causing a 150mA drain on  
the battery.  
Method 2 will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting while  
in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder. However, the original factory  
key in chime module will not alert the owner that the key has been left in the ignition switch. In addition, this  
may also effect other warning tones such as the light on reminder.  
These situations should be carefully considered before altering the vehicle's wiring and must be fully ex-  
plained to the consumer.  
Circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available.  
METHOD 1  
To connect to the key in sensor as shown in method 1:  
A. Locate the control wire that connects the drivers door pin switch to the key in sensor switch.  
B. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground.  
C. Locate the key in sensor switch wire that connects the chime module to the ignition cylinder .  
D. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to terminal #30 of a P&B VF45F11 or equivalent relay.  
E. Connect the cathode (striped) side of a 4002 series diode to this same wire, and connect the (non  
striped) side to the negative shut down safety wire (Gray / Black) of theAudiovox Remote Start Unit.  
F. Connect terminal #86 of the relay to a fused +12 volt constant battery source.  
G. Connect terminal #87 of the relay to the Chime Module side of the previously cut wire in step D.  
H. Connect terminal #85 of the relay to the Drivers Door side of the pin switch wire previously cut in step B.  
Note: A second 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut down  
circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non  
Striped) side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit. The cathode  
(Striped) side must be connected to the hood pin switch. If the hood pin switch is also used for an  
alarm trigger input, be certain to use the dual diode assembly packaged with theAudiovox Remote  
Start Unit as shown following.  
METHOD 2  
To connect to the key in sensor circuit as shown for method 2:  
A. Locate the control wire that connects the drivers door pin switch to the key in sensor switch.  
B. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground.

C. Locate the key in sensor switch wire that connects the chime module to the ignition cylinder .  
D. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to the Remote Start Negative Safety Shut down Wire  
Gray/Black, using a 4002 series diode as shown above.  
Note: A second 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut down  
circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non  
Striped) side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit. The cathode  
(Striped) side must be connected to the hood pin switch. If the hood pin switch is also used for an  
alarm trigger input, be certain to use the dual diode assembly packaged with the Audiovox Remote  
Start Unit as shown in this installation guide.  
AFTER THE CONNECTION OF THE NEUTRAL START SAFETY WIRE AS INDICATED IN ANY OF THE  
PREVIOUSALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS, THIS CIRCUIT MUST BE TESTED FOR OPERATION.  
Retest by following the steps outlined in the NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST shown in this manual.  
4 Pin Upgrade Telematic Module:  
Red = + 5 Volts  
Black = Ground  
White = Data TX  
Yellow = Data RX  
If used, connect the 4 pin harness from the Telematic one way module kit to the mating port on the controlling  
circuit. NOTE: If using the TWO WAY Telematic module, only Ground, TX, and RX are used on this port, the  
+ 12 volt supply for the two way module must be sourced separately or the unit will not operate.  
4 Pin Upgrade Data Bus/Flash Logic Module:  
If you are using an Audiovox Flash Logic module, it can be connected directly to the Alarm/Remote Start's  
control module. Using the Blue 4 pin blue, red, black, & white harness and connect to the mating connector  
on the Alarm/Remote Start control module. Wire the Flash Logic/Data Bus module to the vehicle as pre-  
scribed in it's installation guide.  
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION:  
After you have confirmed the operation of theAudiovox Remote Start unit and tested all the safety features of  
the system:  
1. If you have not done so already, place the red rubber handle cover over the handle of the control switch for  
ease of identification. This will allow your customer to distinguish the Remote Start control switch from  
the program switch.  
2. Mount the control module up and behind the dash securing it in place with cable ties or screws. Be  
certain that the chosen mounting location will not inhibit any of the controls of the vehicle.  
3. Securely harness and tie all wiring up and away from all hot and moving parts that they may come in  
contact with under the dash board or in the engine compartment areas.  
CAUTION:Particularly avoid the area around the steering shaft and column, as wires can wrap around  
these mechanisms and impair the safe operation of the vehicle.  
4. Apply the Caution Labels supplied with this kit to a conspicuous area in the engine compartment. Make  
sure to clean the surface before affixing the label.  
5. Check the vehicle's wipers, lights, horn, etc.... to insure proper operation.  
6. Replace all panels that were removed during installation, and retest the system.  
7. Explain all activated features and safety systems associated with Remote Start Unit installed to the  
customer.
