3. The vehicle’s emergency/parking brake wire must be connected to the control module. The proper
vehicle wire usually provides a negative (-) trigger while the emergency / parking brake is set.
4. The vehicle’s clutch must be temporarily bypassed
ONLY
when the remote start cranks the engine.
This bypass simulates the clutch being depressed. For complete details on how to wire a momentary
clutch bypass visit techfeed.compustar.com or contact our technical support department by calling 888-
820-3690.
IMPORTANT:
Do not install a remote start in manual transmission vehicles with convertible /
removable tops and in user’s vehicles that leave their windows down. Firstech or their authorized dealers
will not assume any responsibility for improper use or install.
Activating Reservation Mode
STEP 1:
Start the vehicle with the key. Place the transmission in neutral, remove pressure from the foot
brake, and set the emergency/parking brake.
STEP 2:
Remove the key from the vehicle’s ignition. The vehicles engine should remain running even
after the key has been removed. If the vehicle does not remain running, check the emergency /
parking brake connection and your tach connection.
STEP 3:
Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s engine should shut off upon closing the door.
If the vehicle’s engine does not shut off, check the door trigger connection or wait for the factory
dome-light to go out. The Firstech system is in reservation mode and the vehicle is ready to
safely remote start.
Additional Notes
Reservation mode will be cancelled if the control module recognizes the vehicle’s door, hood or trunk
opening – or if the alarm is triggered. Each time the end user wants to remote start their manual
transmission vehicle, they must set the control module in reservation mode. Reservation mode settings can
be programmed with Option 1-06.
Version Diagnostics
All the new control modules come with the ability to check which firmware is on the module. This is
accomplished by turning the ignition on. Then with 1 and 2 Way remotes, you must hold Lock and Start
together for 2.5 seconds. Current version starts with 1 flash.
Blade Cartridge Slot and Connector
CM7000, CM7200, and CM6300 slot gives you the ability to use the Blade-AL and Blade-TB modules from
Firstech and ADS. With these modules you can virtually eliminate all wire connections between your control
module and bypass module. You only need to connect the main ignition harness and needed from the Black
20 pin Blade connector that may be required according to the vehicle specific Blade installation guide.
For more information on how to program and wire the Blade, please visit compustar.idatalink.com for the
specific wiring diagram for that vehicle.
Note: the CM7 has a “Blade Eject” dial on the bottom
of the control module that may be turned using a coin or flat tip tool to assist with Blade
removal.
