NOTE: This is a normally opened starter cut arrangement, when power is removed from the
security system, the starter disable feature will remain operational, and the vehicle will not start.
Audiovox does not recommend using the Orange w/ White trace wire to interrupt anything but the
starting circuit of the vehicle.
Lt Green Wire:

 (-)  Instant Trigger Zone 1

This is a instant on ground trigger input intended for the connection of optional triggering devices.  The
ground trigger output wire of motion detectors, microwave detectors, or glass break detectors, can be
connected to this Light Green trigger input wire.

Lt Blue/Green Wire :

 DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 5

The light blue/green wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter.
This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.

WARNING:

 Connecting the light blue/green to the high current switched output of trunk release circuits,

some remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module.

Connect the light blue/green to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30 A automotive relay) and
wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 5.

Lt Blue/Black Wire :

 DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 6

The light blue/green wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter.
This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.

WARNING:

 Connecting the light blue/black to the high current circuits,  will damage the control module.

Connect the light blue/black to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30 A automotive relay) and
wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 6.

Blue/Red Wire :

 DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 7

The light blue/red wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This
is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.

WARNING:

 Connecting the light blue/red to the high current circuits, will damage the control module.

Connect the light blue/red to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30 A automotive relay) and wire
the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 7.

Green/Yellow Wire:

  DIESEL WAIT TO START INPUT

The green/yellow wire, when connected to the wire that get + 12 volts during the glow plug preheat stage will

delay the starter output until this wire drops the 12 volts.  In other words, in a Diesel vehicle with glow plug

preheat circuit, when the ignition is turned on, the vehicle will not crank until the glow plugs are hot enough

to fire the atomized fuel oil when injected into the cylinder. By connecting this wire to the glow plug + 12 volt

wire, when the remote start unit activates the ignition one output, the glow plug output also activates.  The

remote start sees the green/yellow with positive voltage and waits for this to go inactive( drop the 12 volts)

before activating the starter motor.  If this wire is not used or you have difficulty accessing the glow plug

preheat circuit, you may elect to utilize the Diesel timed output as specified in Remote Start feature selec-

tion #9. 

NOTE: 

If green/yellow is used, it will override or negate any setting of feature #9.

WIRING THE 4 PIN AUXILIARY OUTPUT HARNESS

The auxiliary 4 pin connector provides low current outputs to control various functions in the vehicle during

different stages of the Remote Start unit's operation.  Understanding these outputs and the time in which

they occur will allow you to determine if they are needed for the particular vehicle you are working on as well

as how to use them.

Black w Blue Trace Wire: 

Pulsed Ground Output Before Start

The Black w/ Blue Trace wire will  provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output 1.5 second before the

remote start unit activates as well as when the transmitter is used to disarm the system.  Typical use for

this output would be to disarm a factory theft deterrent system to prevent false triggering of the factory alarm

when the remote start unit engages or when the system is used to unlock the doors.

NOTE:

  This output can be selected to operate like the door lock output as set in alarm feature setting #1 by

selecting feature #7 on.

Black w/ Light Green Trace Wire: 

Pulsed Ground Output After Start

The Black w/ Light Green Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300mA pulsed ground output after the vehicle is

started under control of the remote start unit.  Typically this wire will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if

the doors unlock automatically when the factory anti-theft system is disarmed.  This wire will also activate

when the transmitter is used to alm/lock the system.

Black w/ Red Trace Wire: 

Pulsed Ground Output After Shutdown

The Black w/ Red Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output after the remote start unit

shuts down.  This output will occur regardless of whether the circuit times out or is manually terminated.

Typically this output will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically when the
ignition circuit transitions to off.
