Activating Reservation Mode
STEP 1: Start the vehicle with the key. Place the transmission in neutral, remove pressure from the pedal 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.
STEP 3: Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s engine should shut off upon closing the door. If the ve-
hicle’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 vehicles 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 1-05.

Option Programming Using the OP500 (programmer)
The OP500 can be used to program any available option. It is required to program options in Special Option
Groups 1.
STEP 1
: Using the blue connector on the top of the OP500, connect it to the control module via the antenna wire.
(Use the included extension cable if necessary.) Once connected, the OP500 will power up as long as the main
ignition harness to the controller has been connected properly.
STEP 2
: To change the option number you wish to program, use the left and right arrow keys on the OP500. It
will scroll through the options available in menu 1 and then move to menu 2, then 3 and 4. Use the up and down
arrow buttons on the OP500 to adjust the option settings; “1” is the default setting, and “2”, “3”, and “4” are the
optional settings
STEP 3
: When finished with the adjustment of the various option settings, press and hold the “W” (write) button
until the OP500 chirps, which is approximately 2.5 seconds. This will write the settings to the control module.
Wait until the module displays “Success” before disconnecting it from the antenna cable.
To reset the options, hold the “R” (reset) button and the “W” (write) button for 2.5 seconds. Release then write
the reset, hold the “W” button until the OP500 chirps, which is approximately 2.5 seconds.
