explained to the operator as it is in contrast to the normal operation of a vehicle utilizing an electrical neutral start
switch and is inconsistent with the operation manual.
Additional information concerning Key in Sensor methods 1&2 are listed below and should be reviewed before
considering either alternative.
Method 1 will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting while in any gear
other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, if the key is left in the ignition switch and
the door is left opened, the added relay will be energized causing a 150mA drain on the battery.
Method 2 will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting while in any gear
other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder. However, the original factory key in chime module
will not alert the owner that the key has been left in the ignition switch. In addition, this may also affect other warning
tones such as the light on reminder.
These situations should be carefully considered before altering the vehicle’s wiring and must be fully explained to the
consumer.

To connect to the key in sensor as shown in method 1:
A. Locate the control wire that connects the driver’s door pin switch to the key in sensor switch.
B. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground.
C. Locate the key in sensor switch wire that connects the chime module to the ignition cylinder.
D. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to terminal 30 of a P&B VF45F11 or equivalent relay.
E. Connect the cathode (striped) side of a 4003 series diode to this same wire, and connect the (non striped) side to
the negative safely input wire (WHITE/ BLACK) of the Remote Start Unit.
F. Connect terminal 86 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt constant battery source.
G. Connect terminal 87 of the relay to the Chime Module side of the previously cut wire in step D.
H. Connect terminal 85 of the relay to the Drivers Door side of the pin switch wire previously cut in step B.
Note:
A second 4003 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 Stripped) side must be
connected to the WHITE/ 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 Remote Start Unit as shown in this installation guide.

To connect to the key in sensor circuit as shown for method 2:
A. Locate the control wire that connects the driver’s door pin switch to the key in sensor switch.
B. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground.
C. Locate the key in sensor switch wire that connects the chime module to the ignition cylinder.
D. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to the Remote Start Negative Safety Shut down wire Yellow ,
using a 4003 series diode as shown above.
Note:
A second 4003 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 Yellow 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
Remote Start Unit as shown in this installation guide.
AFTER THE CONNECTION OF THE NEUTRAL START SAFETY WIRE AS INDICATED IN ANY OF THE
PREVIUOS ALTERNATE CONFIGURATINS, THIS CIRCUIT MUST BE TESTED FOR OPERATION.
Retest by following the steps outlined in the NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST shown in this manual.
