SPECIAL CASES
1. How to Use a Relay
Many of the optional steps require a relay to be hooked up. The most common relay
used for this type application is the Bosch type relay (DesignTech #20043 or Radio
Shack Cat.# 275-226). Use the diagram below for a typical hookup. If you have
another relay then you need to know that pins 85 and 86 in this diagram relate to the
coils of the relay. Pin 30 is the ‘common’, and pin 87 is the ‘normally open’ contact.
If your relay has a pin 87A in the middle it is the normally closed contact and may or
may not be used in the application. (The diagram below is typical for an Ignition 3 or
trunk application).
2. Code Learning
Your transmitter is factory coded to the remote starter
module with over 16,000,000
different codes. The remote starter module can learn the codes of up to 4 different
transmitters. If you want to add additional transmitters to the receiver or
if it does
not respond to your transmitter
– follow the steps below to teach the receiver
the transmitter code(s):
A.
Turn the Control Switch ON.
B.
Push the red "code learn" button to the right of the red LED light. The red LED
light and the dash lights come on for a second. (The vehicle's ignition and
accessory wires come on).
C.
While holding the transmitter at least three feet from the module, hold down the
Start button (on a five button transmitter) or the lock/unlock button (on a three
button transmitter) until the red LED light and the dash lights come on again for
a second. The module has now learned the transmitter code. Release the
transmitter button.
D.
To learn additional transmitters (up to 3 more), immediately (within 5 seconds)
push the Start button (on a five button transmitter) or the lock/unlock button (on
a three button transmitter) on another transmitter for a few seconds until the red
LED light and the dash lights come on for a second again.
E.
5 seconds after the last time the transmitter was learned the unit exits the code-
learning stage. (The red LED light, ignition and accessories flash 4 times).
Note:
Teaching the module a new transmitter code will erase all previous codes - so
all transmitters must be taught. You have only 5 seconds between transmitters to
begin teaching a new transmitter.
3. Diesel Vehicles
For the most relible starting, hook up the RED/BLACK wire referenced in section 20.
For difficult starting diesels connect and learn the tach (section 12) as well as the
wait-to-start RED/BLACK wire (section 20). Set Option #6 (section 24) for diesel.
For most diesel vehicles, you can start the vehicle without needing to hook up a tach
wire. The following table provides the mandatory option settings for “no-tach”
operation in diesel vehicles. (Use the Chrysler settings for all other diesel vehicles.)

4. Factory Anti-Theft Systems
Many vehicles come with an anti-theft system that must be temporarily bypassed 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 list of vehicles and the types of security systems that follows. If your
vehicle is listed, your vehicle has an Anti-Theft System that the remote starter MUST
temporarily bypass in order to start the vehicle. More information about the factory
anti-theft systems and vehicle wire colors can be found at the DesignTech Web page
www.designtech-intl.com.
DesignTech has developed a Universal Alarm Bypass Module sold under the following
model numbers: #20402, #27402, or #29402. This module will temporarily bypass
the factory anti-theft systems when using the remote starter. Check with your local
retailer/installer to purchase this Universal Alarm Bypass Module or contact
DesignTech directly.
