SETTING UP THE TACH 

VIRTUAL TACH ADJUSTMENT 

Warning: For automatic transmissions only. 

Virtual Tach System combines the latest microcontroller technology and a complex algorithm that took years to 
develop. VTS is able to effectively monitor the engine starting sequence and release the starter at the right time 
without physically connecting the tach wire to the remote starter. The VTS constantly monitors the data and 
readjusts itself automatically in order to maximize its capability to start the engine properly in any weather or 
deteriorating battery condition

.

OPTIONAL TIME DELAY ADJUSTMENT IN VIRTUAL TACH SYSTEM 
Follow these steps to program crank time adjustment, if needed: 
1.

In programming mode (page 2).

Before the lights go out, press and hold the brake pedal and press the 

LOCK 

and

UNLOCK

 buttons 

simultaneously 



 the parking lights will flash 4 times. 

Do not release the brake pedal.

2. Press the 

LOCK

 button if you wish to increase the time delay or the 

UNLOCK

 button if you want to 

decrease it. 

The time delay will be increased or decreased by 50 ms and the parking lights will flash 

once every time the LOCK or UNLOCK button is pressed.

3. Press the 

TRUNK

 button to save the settings you have entered. 

4. Release the brake pedal – the time delay programming is now complete. 

MULTI-SPEED TACH PROGRAMMING (IF INSTALLED) 

1.

In programming mode (page 2).

2. Before the lights go out, press and hold the brake pedal and press the 

LOCK 

and

UNLOCK 

buttons 

simultaneously 



 the parking lights will flash 4 times. At that point, release the brake pedal. 

3. Start up the engine and allow the vehicle to reach regular engine idle speed. 
4. Once the engine is running at normal idle speed, press the brake pedal and keep it down until you hear the 

parking lights output click 5 times. 

5. Release the brake pedal 



the tach programming is now complete. 

Caution! – Tach jumper settings: 
Some new vehicles have a higher TACH voltage threshold, which would fall out of the normal TACH trigger 
circuit of the remote car starter. Changing the jumper to TACH Threshold HIGH will allow the module to 
properly detect the TACH signal. 

BUT

, if you are having trouble with the TACH, please call our tech support 

team. Problems requiring changing the TACH jumper settings are very rare.

BYPASS

Remote starters of this series have the ability to work in two way mode (D2D) with 

Xpresskit

 bypass modules. 

They also offer one way communication with 

Xpresskit, ADS

 and 

Fortin

 brand bypass modules. 

Note: 

For 

Hardware 5.0 and higher there can only be one bypass connected to the unit. 

NEW FEATURE – 

SMARTSTART™

When teamed up with a SmartStart

 module (ASMC100), remote start features can be accessed using a 

smartphone. These features include lock/unlock, engine start/stop, trunk release, panic and alarm notifications. 
For alarm notifications, the Xpresskit

 bypass option (D2D) must be enabled. 

To use these features, connect the SmartStart

 module to the SmartStart

 port located at the back of the 

remote start module (see the wiring diagram). The SmartStart

 feature must be enabled using the 

programming options list found in this guide. 

TESTING

Before putting the vehicle back together, it is recommended to check that the system operates properly. The 
following testing procedures should be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. Before 
testing, make sure that all connections are soldered and that the unit is plugged in.
