Keep wiring away from moving engine parts, exhaust pipes and high-tension cable. Tape wires that pass
through holes on the firewall to prevent fraying. Watches out sharp edges that may damage wires and
causes short circuit.
CAUTION: Do not connect the wire harness to the control module until all wiring to vehicle is complete.
H1: 6 PIN HEAVY GAUGE WIRING CONNECTIONS:
Remember that the system does to start a vehicle is duplicate the functions of the ignition key switch! Below,
we will explain the three basic functions of the ignition switch. Since this installation will require analysis of
the ignition switch functions, we recommend making the three connections below at the ignition switch
harness directly.
H1/1 Violet 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 installation 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 installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and assure
that the vehicle can not 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 VIOLET wire
will be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire has +12 volts
when the ignition switch is turned to the “START” (CRANK) position only. This wire have 0 volts in all other
ignition switch positions.
NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the
electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay
(when used) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram.
Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the neutral safety switch can result in personal
injury and property damage. SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

H1/2 & H1/3 Red wire – +12V Power Input –
Remove the two 20A fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not replace them until the satellite has
been plugged into the control module. These wires are the source of current for all the circuits the relay
satellite will energize. They must be connected to a high current source. Since the factory supplies (+) 12V
to the key switch that is used to operate the motor, it is recommended that these wires be connected
there.
Note: If the factory supplies two separate (+) 12V feeds to the ignition switch, connect one RED wire of the
satellite to each feed at the switch.
H1/4 Yellow wire – Ignition Output –
Connect the YELLOW wire to the ignition wire from the ignition switch. The ignition wire should receive "12
volts" when the ignition key is in the "ON" or “RUN” and "START" or “CRANK” position. When the ignition
is turned "OFF", the ignition wire should receive "0" voltage.
The YELLOW wire must be connected.
H1/5 Pink wire – Ignition 2 Output
Some vehicles have [2] ignition wires that must be power. Connect the PINK wire to the ignition 2 wire
from the ignition switch. The ignition wire should receive "12 volts" when the ignition key is in the "ON" or
“RUN” and "START" or “CRANK” position. When the ignition is turned "OFF", the ignition wire should
receive "0" voltage. If the PINK wire is not used, cap the end of the wire.
H1/6 Brown wire – Accessory Output (Heater /ACC Output) –
Connect the BROWN wire to the accessory wire in the vehicle that powers the climate control system.
An accessory wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the “ACCESSORY” or “ON”
and “RUN” positions, and will show 0 Volts when the key is turned to the “OFF” and “START” or “CRANK”
position. There will often be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct accessory
wire will power the vehicle’s climate control system. Some vehicle may have separate wires for the blower
motor and the air conditioning compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to power the
second accessory wire.
