prevent the vehicle with a Mechanical Neutral Start Switch from starting in gear.
AUDIOVOX ADVISES THAT YOU MAINTAIN THE FACTORY CIRCUIT WHENEVER POSSIBLE. The following two
circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available.
NOTE:
When completing an installation using either of the following key in sensor circuits, if the operator inserts the
ignition key while the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start, the vehicle will shut down. This
must be 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 operator's 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 effect 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.
Circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available.
METHOD 1
To connect to the key in sensor as shown in method 1:
A. Locate the control wire that connects the drivers 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 4002 series diode to this same wire, and connect the (non striped) side
to the negative shut down safety wire (Gray / Black) of the Audiovox 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 4002 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 Gray/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 Audiovox Remote Start Unit as shown following.
