!! WARNINGS !!
Do not attempt to install this Remote Car Starter into a manual transmission
vehicle! Doing so could cause serious property damage, personal injury,
and will void all warranties!
Be aware of, and avoid, any airbag circuitry! Due to the fact that an installer
will not be in a normal, upright seated position, severe injury may occur in
an accidental airbag deployment!
The use of a Digital Multimeter (DMM) or Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM) instead of a
standard testlight is recommended. This can greatly reduce the risk of an
accidental airbag deployment or on-board computer damage.
Battery gases are explosive! Avoid sparks and do not smoke while working
near the vehicle's battery!
Always protect wires ran through the firewall from sharp metal edges and
hot parts of the engine! Always fuse positive wires at the battery or power
source!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
10
IMPORTANT!
After reading this manual, start the installation by affixing the
WARNING DECAL to a visible area in the engine compartment!
Installation Considerations: This entire booklet should be read before starting
the installation. An understanding of which control module wires are to be used and
their functions is essential. Installations will vary from car to car, as some control
module wires are required, while others are optional. Before starting the installa-
tion, it should be determined which control module wires will be used. Most install-
ers will list these wires, then "map out" the installation by locating and noting the
target wires in the vehicle. This will also determine the best location for the RS
control module, which is mounted upon completion of the installation.
This Remote Start Unit duplicates the actions that occur within the ignition switch
when you use your key to start the engine. Because of this, most of the main wiring
harness connections will be made at the ignition switch harness. The ignition switch
wires usually are high amperage circuits, which means that high reliability connec-
tions must be made! We recommend proper soldering of all connections.
Caution!
Avoid the Airbag circuit! Especially avoid any harness or wires encased
in Yellow or Red tubing or sleeves. Do not use a standard test light, as it can
deploy an airbag or damage on-board computers and sensors.

Red Wire:
(Two 12-Gauge wires)
Connection Required
Connect both Red wires to constant 12 Volts. The most common sources are
the battery's Positive terminal and the ignition switch wiring harness

Green Wire:
12-Gauge
Connection Required
Connect the Green wire to the vehicle's Starter Motor wire. This wire will show
12 volts only when the ignition key is in the "Start" position. This wire is also found
in the ignition switch wiring harness
(See diagram
#1 on
page 11)
. Some vehicles have
a second Starter wire known as a "Cold Start" wire. When this is encountered, if the
two Starter wires are the same circuit you may connect both of these wires to the
Green wire. If the two Starter wires are separate circuits an optional prewired dual
relay socket and relays are recommended.
Note: If a security system is present which utilizes a starter interrupt circuit, the
Green wire must be connected to the Starter Motor side of the interrupt.
Blue Wire:
12-Gauge
Connection Required
Connect the Blue wire to the vehicle's Ignition

wire (also known as Primary
Ignition)
. This wire will show 12 Volts when the ignition key is in the "Run" and
"Start" positions and no voltage in the "Off" and "Accessory" positions. This wire is
found in the ignition switch wiring harness
(See diagram

.
Note: If two or more Primary Ignition wires are present, you will need to connect an
optional relay(s) to the thin Blue wire located in the 3-pin Blue connector
