Factory Anti-Theft Systems

Many vehicles come with an anti-theft system that must be temporally  by-
passed for the vehicle to be remotely started.Some systems use a resistor in the
key.Others use a transponder-a small device in the key that communicates a
high security code to the vehicle before the vehicle will successfully start.
Check the following list of vehicles below.If your vehicle is  listed, your ve-
hicle has an Anti-Theft System that the remote starter MUST  temporally
bypass in order to start the vehicle.  More information about the factory anti-
theft systems and vehicle wire colors can be found at DesignTech web page
www.designtech-intl.com.  DesignTech has developed a Universal Alarm
Bypass Module,model #20401,that will temporally bypass  the factory anti-
theft systems when using the remote starter.Check with your local retailer/
installer to purchase this Universal Alarm Bypass Module,model #20401 or
contact DesignTech directly.

* Press the MIDDLE button on the transmitter.  The green LED on

the remote starter module or the external plug-in LED will flash
ONCE to indicate that the remote starter has changed the selected
feature from the factory setting to the 

option setting

.  Pushing the

middle button again will give you 2 flashes of the LED and will
change the setting back from the option setting to the

 factory set-

ting

.  You can go back and forth as often as needed.

* Repeat this procedure for each feature you choose to adjust from the

31 options.

* When you have adjusted all of the settings that need to be changed,

reset all the switches to the UP (or OFF) position (towards the LEDs).
This is the normal use position.
