Initializing Virtual Tach (not needed w/hardwire tach inputs)

To program Virtual Tach:

After the install is complete, 

1. 

remote start

 the engine. The programming operation may require 3 cranks of 

the starter before the engine starts and runs. Do not turn off the remote start if this happens, it is a normal 

programming operation.

Once the engine begins running, let it run for at least 30 seconds.

2. 

Using the Remote, send the Remote start command to turn remote start off. Virtual Tach is programmed. 

3. 

To reset Virtual Tach, go into the 

Reset and Deletion

 section of this guide. Virtual Tach 

cannot

 be reset with 

the Bitwriter.

Note:

 

Virtual Tach cannot be used in MTS Manual Transmission Mode. It is also not recommended for diesel 

trucks. 
Virtual Tach handles disengaging the starter motor during remote starting – it does not address over-rev. If the 

customer wants to have the over-rev protection capability, the tach wire must be connected. 

Important:

 After successfully learning Virtual Tach, a small minority of vehicle starters 

may over crank or under crank during remote start. The Bitwriter can be used fine tune 

the starter output time in 50mS increments to compensate for such an occurrence. 

Learning the Tach (not needed with Virtual Tach)

To learn the tach signal:

Start

1. 

 the vehicle with the key. Within 5 seconds, 

press

 and 

hold

 the Control button.

After 3 seconds the status LED on your Control Center lights constant when the tach  signal is learned.

2. 

Release

3. 

 the Control button.

Note:

 When the tachometer is programmed, the main unit automatically enters the Tachometer engine 

checking mode.

Neutral safety switch interface

Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, the  vehicle has a mechanical neutral 

safety switch that physically interrupts the starter wire and is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the
