Wiring
Black 9-Pin Mini Connector
White/Black Wire:
(Negative Safety Shut Down Input)
The White/Black wire provides an
instant shutdown signal to the
remote start whenever it is
grounded. Connect this wire to the
provided hood pin switch. Route the
White/Black wire through a grom-
met in the firewall. If the pin switch
is to be used with an alarm system,
connect this wire with a diode.
Diodes are required when the hood
pin is used as a triggering device.
Wire as shown.
White/Violet Wire:
Positive Safety Shut Down Input
This wire provides an instant shutdown signal to the remote start, whenever it gets +12 Volts. If the brake lights
switch in the vehicle sw12 Volts to the brake light circuit, connect this wire to the output side of the
brake switch. This will allow the remote start to shut down if an attempt is made to operate the vehicle with-
out the key while running under the control of the remote start. In most vehicles, in order to shift gears, the
brake pedal must be depressed. The brake input will in turn cause the remote start unit to shut off.
Black/White Wire:
(-) Remote Start Enable Toggle Switch Input, (-) Neutral Safety Switch Input
When the Black/White wire is grounded, the remote start unit is operable. When this wire is open from ground,
the remote start is disabled.
1. An optional “remote start toggle switch” can be added on to temporarily disable the Remote Start Device,
it can prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being
serviced or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move the optional remote start enable
toggle switch to the OFF position. To enable the remote start, move the optional remote start enable toggle
switch to the ON position.
2. If needed, this wire can connect to the Park/Neutral switch in the vehicle (See testing).
Important Note: Directly connect the Black/White wire to the “Ground” when this
wire is not used for it’s intended safety purpose.
