The starter wire must be located and cut. Cutting the vehicle's starter wire will result
in two sides- the "ignition switch" side and the "starter solenoid" side. It is
recommended that this connection be done as close to the ignition switch as
possible. Use a Digital Multimeter (DMM) to find the correct wire.
The starter wire will read Positive 12 Volts only when ignition key is in "start"
position (cranking the engine). Cut this wire at a suitable location. Confirm that
this is the correct wire by turning the ignition switch to the "start" position; the
starter should not engage.
Connect the starter disable socket's Red wire to the ignition switch side. Con-
nect the starter disable socket’s White wire to the starter solenoid side. Be sure
that good, solid electrical connections are made.
CAUTION! Avoid the Airbag circuit! Especially avoid any har-
ness or wires encased in Yellow or Red tubing or sleeves. Do not
use a standard test light, as it can deploy an airbag or damage
on-board computers and sensors if the wrong circuits are probed.
A Digital Multimeter (DMM) should be used.
Gray Wire - (2nd Channel or Negative Trunk Release Out-
put):
The Gray wire is an optional output operated by the controller/transmitter
“
II
” button; typically the primary use is for trunk release.
CONNECTION:
If the vehicle's existing trunk release switch operates as
switching Negative to activate trunk release, and draws 250mA or less, the Gray
wire may connected directly to the vehicle’s switch output wire. If the target wire
is Positive switching, and/or draws more than 250mA, an optional relay must be
used. To configure a relay to the Gray wire, connect it to relay pin (85), and
connect Constant Positive 12 Volts to relay pin (86). Connect pin (30) to power,
or ground, as needed. Pin (87) is then connected to the vehicle's trunk wire.

Feature #13 2nd Channel Also Disarms System
Factory Default Setting
On (
press
“arm/lock” button to program
)
Option:
Off (
press
“disarm/unlock” button to program
)
“2nd channel” is most commonly used to remotely open the
vehicle’s trunk, in
which case the alarm should also disarm. This feature, turned on, configures the
system to disarm when the 2nd channel is used. If turned off, the 2
nd
channel output
will still occur, but without the chirps, parking light flashes, or disarming the alarm
(if armed).

When the system is armed, whether by the controller, transmitter or by an automatic
feature, there is a brief period of time in which a system activation, or alarm, cannot
occur. This Arming Delay allows the system to completely process its sensory
parameters, which can include the vehicle to stabilize. In some cases more time is
needed than the factory-set 3 seconds, and this feature offers three longer delay
options.

It is important to understand that the Crime Guard has a primary audible output,
for the electronic siren; and that it also has a programmable relay which among its
applications is being used to sound the vehicle’s existing horn. This feature changes
only the primary audible output, so that it can be utilized to sound the existing
horn by itself. This is for cases when the programmable relay is desired for other
features, such as unlocking the doors, or as an additional ignition or accessory
output should it be needed for the remote starting operation.
The Steady Siren setting is exactly that- a steady output which the electronic

time. If this feature is turned off, the parking lights flash once only, and do not
illuminate. This feature only affects the Crime Guard’s parking light operation, and
not the interior light operation.
