Programming the System
When installing the SmartStart Bluetooth system in standalone mode, read and fol-
low the steps for “Feature Programming Procedure”.
If the system is being connected to a host security/remote start system, the SmartStart
Bluetooth device acts as an additional transmitter to control that system. During the
programming procedure, you will be selecting the RF mode while simultaneously
programming the security/remote start system to learn the SmartStart Bluetooth sys-
tem as a new transmitter.
Note
: The programming sequence for RF selection and RF learn is one complete,
streamlined process that requires programming steps in both the Bluetooth device
and the main system. Failure to follow the steps exactly as outlined below may result
in having to go back and reprogram one or both systems.
Feature Programming Procedure:
Note
: If you are programming a standalone unit, follow menu items 1 through 7 and
skip Menu items 8 and 9. If you are programming a unit that will be connected to
a security/remote start system via RF cable, follow the RF Learning 1 or RF Learning
2 procedure and skip menu items 1 through 7.
1. Disconnect power from the unit and then reconnect and power the unit.
Note:
Programming can only be done within sixty seconds of the unit being
powered up, if the time has elapsed before you have entered programming
you can power the unit down and up again to enter programming again.
2. Press and hold the Learn and Pair buttons simultaneously for five seconds (with-
in sixty seconds of power up), the Red LED comes on solid.
3. Release the buttons. The Red LED shuts off and starts flashing once every two
seconds to confirm entry into the feature list, menu item #1.
4. Press/release the Learn button to advance to the next feature in the menu (see
Feature Option Menu). The Red LED flashes the corresponding number of times
as the menu item # you have selected.
Example: 3 red LED flashes at a time = Menu item #3
Note:
If the number of menu items is exceeded, the routine loops back to
Menu Item 1.
5. To access the available options for a selected feature in the menu, press/
release the Pair button; the Blue LED flashes the corresponding number of times
as the option # you have selected (see Features Option Menu).
Example: 3 Blue LED flashes at a time = Opt. 3
Note:
If the number of options is exceeded, the routine loops back to Opt 1.
6. Once a desired option is reached, press/release the Learn button to save the
option, change and advance to the next feature on the menu, or continue to
press/release the Learn button until another desired feature is reached.
7. Press and hold the Learn and Pair buttons simultaneously for five seconds to exit
programming manually or wait sixty seconds for the module to automatically
exit feature programming. The LED flashes Blue/Red for one second to confirm
feature programming has been exited.

Factory Reset
* Do not change the Trunk and Start default values for features; Output 3 type
and Output 4 type (Menu Item 6 & 7). If these default settings are selected for
Menu Item 6 & 7, the following will result:
•
Selecting Opt. 3 for Output 3 type will result in both Output 3 and Output
4 wires activation when a Trunk command is sent.
•
Selecting Opt. 4 for Output 4 type will result in both Output 3 and Output
4 wires activation when a Start command is sent.
•
Selecting Opt. 3 for Output 3 and Opt. 4 for Output 4 will result in the
output wire activations being swapped relative to app command sent.
If you inadvertently program these two Outputs to one or more of the above
configurations, you can clear and restore factory default settings using Factory
Reset (Menu Item 10).
** For Autostart models, look up the RF mode Option number using the Autostart
RF type Table on page 2.

Note
: When setting up the Bluetooth system for an RF Type, you can enter

Note
: When setting up the Bluetooth system for an RF Type, you can enter
the remote programming procedure of the host system and proceed through
each option to program the RF output of the Bluetooth system (see RF Learning
Procedure section of this guide for more information).
10. Factory Reset, returns the system to the factory default settings. When resetting
the unit, the features programming mode exits and is indicated by the LED
flashing Red/Blue once. It can be re-entered utilizing the Features Program-
ming Procedure.
Note
: Resetting the unit does not delete the Paired Smartphone from memory (if
one is already programmed), therefore, the Blue LED stays on after the reset.
RF Programming & Transmitter Learn Procedure:
Note
: The following selects the correct RF mode to communicate with the security/
remote start system, while simultaneously teaching the Bluetooth module to that sys-
tem as a remote. Follow the steps in the exact sequence below in order to complete
this procedure in a single sequence.
RF Learning 1 (For AutoStart use RF Learning 2)
1. Enter the Features & RF Option Menu for the Bluetooth module (see Features
Programming Procedure section)
2. Choose option #8, then STOP
3. Place the security/remote start system in Transmitter Learn Routine.
4. Go back to the SmartStart Bluetooth module, and press the Pair button to select
the correct RF option for the host system, using the number of blue LED flashes
to determine which option step you have reached. Press once for option 1
then again for Option 2 after the LED flashes, and so on until you reach the
correct RF option.
5. Each time the an RF option is selected, the Bluetooth module sends the host
system a lock command using that RF protocol. When the correct RF type is
selected, the host system will recognize the command and return a learned
confirmation as when programming a transmitter.
6. Exit the programming mode on both systems.
7. RF Type is now programmed, and the host system recognizes the Bluetooth
module as an authorized remote control.
You may have to cycle through the RF options more than once before the command
is recognized and the confirmation is received.
Note
: some security/remote start systems may only stay in Transmitter Learn Routine
for a very short period of time, so you need to complete steps 2 through 4 quickly.
If the host system exits Learn Routine before you’re reached the correct RF Option for
that model, just place it back in Learn Routine and continue pressing the Pair button
on the Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth module stays in programming mode for 60

seconds following any button press, and you can also loop in the same feature menu
so if you missed the correct RF option, keep pressing the Pair button to loop around
to that option again.
RF Learning 2 (Autostart only)
1. Enter the Features Option Menu for the Bluetooth module (see Features Pro-
gramming Procedure section).
2. Choose Item #9 then STOP.
3. Put the host system in learn mode.
4. Select the appropriate RF option (see Autostart RF type table)
5. Press and hold the Pair button (Autostart requires holding the button for an
extended period).
6. The host system should return a learned confirmation via the Parking lights. If no
reply, then the RF mode is incorrect, check the table or try another one.
