INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE: (P/N 1365346)
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dash-
board). The mounting location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring
harness to allow connection of the 6 pin main wiring harness.
Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle.
Avoid mounting the module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as
the module or wiring may wrap around or block the steering wheel preventing proper
control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen location using cable ties or
screws as necessary.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA VALET SWITCH LED ASSEMBLY: (P/N 1181246)
The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly which includes the LED and Valet/Pro-
gramming switch provided with this unit allows routing from below the dash board for maxi-
mum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle for
best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer
vehicles utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In
these vehicles, route the antenna toward a rear window location for best reception. Secure
the antenna with double stick tape provided. After securing the antenna with tape, we
advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to a fixed support. This will prevent the
antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to extreme heat
which may loosen its gummed surface. Route the connector toward the control module
using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the
control module. Connect the 5 pin cable to the mating connector of control module.
HOOD PIN SWITCH: (P/N 1363699)
The pin switch included in this package are intended for protecting the hood area of the
vehicle. In all cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the
pin switch is activated, (hood/trunk open), it will supply a ground to the input wire to inhibit
the remote start function. In addition, the hood switch is required for the safety shut down
of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the
remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued.
This switch must be
installed in all applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
property damage.
Mount the switch in the hood locations away from water drain paths. If necessary, a bracket
may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall
behind the hood seal. In both cases the switch must be set up to allow the hood to depress
the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood is closed and fully extended when the hood is
opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check behind the
chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut
driver or deep well socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the
desired location and secure the pin switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.
DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT /
OUTPUT HARNESS INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE
VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DE-
FINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE
BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.
