If you are new to installing Firstech Series Remote Starts and / or Alarms, we highly recommended that you thor-
oughly review this manual to installing your first unit.
Key Points to Consider Before Installation:
Options must be set before installation
The options for the FT-820 must be set via your computer. Please load the FT820 software to choose the vehicle
make and model, set options, and program your unit before installation.
Please familiarize yourself with the wiring of the FT-820
The FT-820 is designed for quick installation with the use of supplied Y-adapter connector for the vehicle’s main
ignition harness. The Y-adapter is designed to connect in line with the factory’s ignition harness. Other harness are
plug and play minus the foot brake, e-brake and ISO9141-2 and/or CAN High and Low wires
Green loop must be cut for AUTOMATIC transmission vehicles
By default, FT-820 units come in MANUAL transmission mode. You will need to cut the green loop inside the con-
trol module if you are installing the unit in a AUTOMATIC transmission.
You must code remotes to this system before anything will function
Program remotes by cycling the ignition ON / OFF five times within seven seconds and tap button 1 (0.5 seconds) on
the first remote, and then tap button 1 (0.5 seconds) on the second remote.
RPS-II (Remote Paging Sensor)
This unit has an optional RPS that has three main functions; 1. Status LED, 2. Remote notification when triggered,
and 3. Auto unlock/alarm disarm when a user specific 4 digit knock code is entered via tapping sensor through the
windshield.
Firstech Shock Sensor
This unit has an optional shock sensor that can be added to the FT-820. The sensor comes with the cable and just has
to be plugged in.
Firstech Thermistor
This piece has the ability to monitor temperature in the vehicle using 2 Way LCD remotes only. This is not included
with the FT-820.
