NOTE: A second 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut down circuit.  If

this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above.  The anode (Non Striped) side must be
connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit.  The cathode (Striped) side must be connected to
the hood pin switch.  If the hood pin switch is also used for an alarm trigger input, be certain to use the dual
diode assembly packaged with the Audiovox Remote Start Unit as shown in this installation guide.

AFTER THE CONNECTION OF THE NEUTRAL START SAFETY WIRE AS INDICATED IN ANY OF THE PREVIOUS
ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS, THIS CIRCUIT MUST BE TESTED FOR OPERATION.
Retest by following the steps outlined in the NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST shown in this manual.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION:

After you have confirmed the operation of the Audiovox Remote Start unit and tested all the safety features of the
system:

1.  If you have not done so already, place the red rubber handle cover over the handle of the control switch for ease of

identification.  This will allow your customer to distinguish the Remote Start control switch from the program
switch.

2.  Mount the control module up and behind the dash securing it in place with cable ties or screws.  Be certain that the

chosen mounting location will not inhibit any of the controls of the vehicle.

3.  Securely harness and tie all wiring up and away from all hot and moving parts that they may come in contact with

under the dash board or in the engine compartment areas.

CAUTION: Particularly avoid the area around the steering shaft and column, as wires can wrap around these

mechanisms and impair the safe operation of the vehicle.

4.  Apply the Caution Labels supplied with this kit to a conspicuous area in the engine compartment.  Make sure to clean

the surface before affixing the label.

5.  Check the vehicle's wipers, lights, horn, etc.... to insure proper operation.

6.  Replace all panels that were removed during installation, and retest the system.

7.  Explain all activated features and safety systems associated with Remote Start Unit installed to the customer.

8. Place the Valet Switch Tag and or the Remote Start Control Switch Tag on their respective switches and

point these out to the customer.
