The 

Astra 1000RS Series

is a state-of-the-art remote starting system with an integrated 2-way paging

feature.  With proper installation, this system will provide superior protection and performance for many

years to come. 

The 

Astra’s 1000RS Series

built-in remote start feature is designed to offer maximum convenience by

remote starting your vehicle’s engine, turning on the heater/air conditioner, and then running for a pre-

determined time to provide a comfortable environment once you enter your vehicle.

ScyTek Electronics Inc. and its VENDORS shall not be liable for any accident resulting from the use of this

equipment. This system is designed to be professionally installed into a car or vehicle in which all items,

such as parking brake and all associated components, door switches, transmission shift linkage, throttle

linkage, and all engine safety features, are in perfect working condition.

On MANUAL TRANSMISSION  vehicles only install the Astra 1000RS-M remote starting

system. Verify that the vehicle transmission is left in neutral position. If accidentally left in

gear the vehicle could become a self-propelled threat to life and property.

DO NOT remote start the vehicle in a closed garage. Make sure that the garage door is open or there is

adequate ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous Carbon.

To ensure the safety and security of the system while it is remote started, the Astra Starter employs

several safeguards.  In the event the brake pedal is pressed while the engine is remotely running, the

remote start will immediately shutdown to prevent unauthorized users from attempting to drive the

vehicle.  The system is equipped with a hood pin input to prevent access  to the engine compartment

while the vehicle is remotely running.  Finally, the Valet Mode prevents the remote start feature from

operating in the event the vehicle is to be serviced.
