Programming Transmitters
•
Feature
#
12 is “Single or Double Unlock Pulse”. The double unlock pulse is needed
in certain vehicles. Programming settings are single unlock pulse (“LOCK”) and
double unlock pulse (“UNLOCK”).
•
Feature
#
13 is “Gasoline or Diesel Engine” When programming, press “LOCK” for the
“Gasoline” setting. Diesel engines have three options: pressing “UNLOCK” selects “Monitor
Glow Plug Wire”, by which the MARS delays engaging the starter until its glow plug input
wire detects the glow plugs turning off; and two preset delay periods before starter en-
gagement: 10 seconds (“START”) and 20 seconds (“TRUNK”).
Resetting all of the Programmable Features:
•
Feature
#
14 returns all Programmable Features to their factory default settings. Enter
programming mode (page 12), select Feature
#
14, and press the transmitter’s “LOCK”
button. The MARS will acknowledge the “LOCK” input with a single Status Light flash
and horn chirp (if connected), and then immediately exit programming mode with the
normal confirmation of 2 short and 1 long Status Light flashes and horn chirps.
Note: When a Programmable Features Reset is used, any feature which needs to be in
a setting different from the default setting will have to be reprogrammed.

The MARS can be operated by up to four transmitters. Replacement or additional
transmitters must be programmed to operate the MARS. The MARS multi-car operation
capability also requires that transmitters be programmed into the second vehicle (with the
transmitter’s multi-car switch in “B” position). Coding transmitters is a very easy process.
mined which control module wires will be used. Most installers will list these wires,
then "map out" the installation by locating and noting the target wires in the vehicle.
This will also determine the best location for the MARS control module, which is mounted
upon completion of the installation.
The MARS remote starting unit duplicates the actions that occur within the ignition
switch when you use your key to start the engine. Because of this, most of the main wiring
harness connections will be made at the ignition switch harness. The ignition switch wires
usually are high amperage circuits, which means that high reliability connections must be
made- soldering of all connections is recommended.
Caution!
Avoid the Airbag circuit! Especially avoid any harness or wires encased in Yel-
low 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.

Main Module:
The MARS Main Module should be mounted in a location close to the ignition switch
(where many of the wiring connections are made); typically, hidden behind the driver’s
side dash.
Receiver Module:
An essential part of the MARS is the plug-in window mount Receiver Module, which also
contains the Valet Switch and Status Lights. The unit will not operate unless this Receiver
Module is plugged-in. Select a desired mounting location for the Receiver Module; optimum
performance is obtained by mounting this module high and unobstructed on the vehicle’s
glass, such as the windshield behind the rearview mirror. Make sure the glass surface is
clean and free of dust, grease, or debris. Peel the backing off of the adhesive tape
