Bitwriters with a date code of 6a or older require an IC 
upgrade (p/n 998M). Some bitwriters with a date code 
of 6B do not require the IC upgrade, refer to tech tip # 
1112 for more information. 

The Bitwriter® (p/n 998U) 
requires chip version 

2.7

 or 

newer to program this unit.

Installation Points

Adjusting the Shock Sensor

Important!

 Make sure the vehicle is disarmed. The shock sensor  sensitivity can be 

adjusted by using a trimmer tool to turn the potentiometer.

 

Adjusting the sensor:

 

1. 

Disarm

 the system, 

turn

 the ignition Off.

2.  With the sensor mounted in its permanent location, locate the trim pot on the 

shock sensor module and using a trimmer tool: 

s

Turn the potentiometer clockwise for increased sensitivity or 

s

Turn it counterclockwise for decreased sensitivity

Note:

 You can test the new setting by cautiously impacting the vehicle with in-

creasing intensity while noting the LED status on the shock sensor. The LED turns 
on for a short duration for small impacts before turning off (indicating a warn-
away trigger). The impact level required to fully trigger the alarm is indicated 
when the LED remains on for a longer duration before turning off.

Tach Learning

To learn the tach signal:

1.  Start the vehicle with the key.
2.  Within 5 seconds, press and hold the control center button.
3.  After 3 seconds the LED will light constant when the tach signal is learned.
4.  Release the control center button.

Important:

 This unit can learn the tachometer with the analog input or 

through D2D using an interface module. The unit confirms which source 
is used. 

When programming tach learning with:  

s

Analog

, the parking lights flash 

one

 time

s

D2D 

inerface module, the parking lights flash 

twice

If the tachometer input on the system is connected to the vehicle, the D2D tachometer 
input will be ignored.

Virtual Tach

Note: Virtual tach is not recommended for diesel trucks

To program Virtual Tach:

1.  After the install is complete, remote start the car. 
2.  If the car does not start on the first attempt, let the remote start attempt again.
3.  Once the car starts, let it run until the parking lights come on.
4.  When the parking lights come on, shut off the remote start with the remote - 

that’s it! Virtual Tach is programmed. 

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 capabil-
ity, the tach wire must be connected. This may involve more installation shop 
charges than initially quoted.

Important:

 If the Virtual Tach mode over cranks or doesn't crank the 

vehicle long enough to start and run the car, use the Bitwriter to add or 
subtract the starter output time.  You can adjust the output time in incre-
ments of 50msec of the learned time using the Bitwriter. 

Reset and Deletion

If a feature/virtual tach needs to be reset or the remote controls need to be deleted, 
use the following procedure.

1.  Open a door. (The GREEN wire, H1/8, or the VIO LET, H1/6 must be con-

nected.)

2.  Turn the ignition to the ON position (The heavy gauge pink wire must be con-

nected).

3.  Within 10 seconds, press and release the control center button: 2 times if you 

want to delete remotes, 3 times to reset features or 4 times to reset virtual tach. 
These features are described next. 

Delete remotes:

 This feature erases all remotes from the memory of the 

security system. This is useful in cases when a customer’s remote is lost 
or stolen.
Note: This does not reset the programmed features of the security system 
or reset the Virtual Tach setting.  
 

Reset Features:

 This resets all features of the security system to the factory 

default settings. 
Note: This feature does not delete the remotes from the security system 
or reset the Virtual Tach setting or security features enabled/disabled 
settings  
 

Virtual Tach Reset:

 Deletes all previously learned values for Virtual Tach, 

and on the next remote start sequence the unit begins virtual tach initial-
ization.

Note: The “Zap” feature on the Bitwriter does not reset the Virtual tach 
setting.

4.  Once you have selected the function step, press the control center button  once 

more and hold it. The LED flashes and the siren chirps to confirm the selected 
functional step. Do not release the control center button

5.  While holding the control center button, press the 

 button on the remote 

control. The unit chirps to confirm that the feature has been successfully reset.

Once the feature is reset, the control center button can be released.

Remote Start Shutdown Diagnostics

To perform shutdown diagnostics:

1.  With the ignition Off, 

press

 and 

hold

 the control center button.

2. 

Turn

 the ignition On and then back Off while 

holding

 the control center 

button.

3. 

Release

 the control center button.

4. 

Press

 and 

release

 the control center button. The LED flashes to report the last 

shutdown for one minute or until the ignition is turned on, as shown in the 
following table:

LED Flashes
