Installer Programmable Features
This group of Installer Programmable Features are all accessed as a group in the second
level of features’ programming� These features have a direct affect upon the system’s op-
erations related to the installation and vehicle type AND SHOULD ONLY BE CHANGED
BY THE INSTALLER!!!
Feature #1 - Remote Start Activation From The WHITE/BLUE Wire
1 pulse (press LOCK to program)
2 pulses (press UNLOCK to program)
3 pulses (press TRUNK to program)
4 pulses (press START to program)
This feature changes how remote start is activated from the (-) activation input wire�
Feature #2 - Vehicle Learn
Enabled (press LOCK to program)
Disabled (press UNLOCK to program)
When enabled, the system will allow the installer to perform vehicle learn (described in the
installation guide). This allows quick programming of several vehicle specific settings.
WARNING: This feature should only be programmed by the installer.
Feature #3 - Engine Detection Method
Progressive Voltage (press LOCK to program)
Voltage (press UNLOCK to program)
Tach Wire (press TRUNK to program)
Data Tach (press START to program)
Crank Only (press LOCK & UNLOCK to program)
This feature selects the method in which the remote start monitors the engine’s running
condition in remote start mode� The best method available is auto-detected during the
VEHICLE LEARN process�
“Progressive Voltage”
mode is a new version of our popular “tachless hi” method� It
uses a preset crank time (see installer feature #7) and monitors the vehicle’s voltage level
to determine if the engine is running� This setting looks for a voltage increase of 0�3v after
cranking but allows for voltage drops after the engine is running for 2 minutes accomodat-
ing new progressive style alternators� This method is the most universal for all vehicles�
“Voltage” mode looks for a voltage increase of 0�5v after cranking and constantly moni-
tors voltage during remote start operation�
“Tach Wire” Before this setting is programmed, refer to the “Violet/White wire” section of
the installation manual for proper wiring connection and the Tach Learn Procedure� It will
crank the engine for up to 3 seconds or until a tach signal is detected�
“Data Tach” mode operates just like the “Tach Wire” setting except it takes its reading
from the D2D data port instead of using the Violet/White wire� Before using, make sure
this function is supported by the Databus Interface module�
“Crank Only”
AKA “blind start” is similar to the “Tachless” settings however, it only makes
one start attempt and does not monitor engine running conditions� This is useful for many
“push-to-start” vehicles�
Feature #4 - Gasoline Or Diesel Engine
Gasoline (press LOCK to program)
Diesel 15 Sec. Delay (press UNLOCK to program)
Diesel 20 Sec. Delay (press TRUNK to program)
Diesel 30 Sec. Delay (press START to program)
This feature changes the system’s timing of the ignition and starter output sequence for
gas or diesel engines� Gasoline: the starter output will occur 3 seconds after the ignitions
turn on� When in “Tachless” mode, the engine running status is determined 10 seconds
after starting� Diesel: the starter output will occur 15, 20, or 30 seconds after the
ignitions turn on (allows for glow plug warming)� When in “Tachless” mode, the
engine running status will be determined 40 seconds after cranking�
