5.
To save the new settings: press
LOCK
and
UNLOCK
simultaneously. If 3 chirps are returned, the new
setting has been saved.
6.
You have 20 more seconds to select one of the sub-menus if needed.
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 3).
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 3).
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 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.
TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING
This procedure is detailed in the full installation guide. To obtain a copy of the installation guide, please visit our

RESETTING THE MODULE
WARNING!
By resetting the module, all programmed values are erased
i.e.: tach, transmitter as well as
programming options. The programming options are returned to their default values.
1.
Enter programming Mode (page 3).
2.
Once having reached the programming mode, quickly press and release the brake pedal until the parking
lights flash 8 times.
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.

Quick Installation Guide
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.
Make sure the system properly enters and exits ready mode:
Ready mode is a sequence of steps that must be followed in order to allow manual transmission
vehicles to be remote started. To get into ready mode:
If Ready Mode is enabled by remote
If Ready Mode is enabled by handbrake
1. Ensure that all the doors, hood and trunk are closed. Make sure that the gear selector is in the neutral
position.
2. With the engine already running, apply the
parking brake once and release the brake
pedal.
2. With the engine already running, apply the
parking brake twice within 10 sec.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and
remain lit.
Skip to step 4.
3. Within 20 sec. of engaging the parking brake,
press and hold
,
or
on the
transmitter.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and
remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the engine will continue running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood and trunk.
6. For approx. 1 second, press either:
x
to lock the doors and shut down the engine;
x
to unlock the doors and shut down the engine;
x
to shut down the engine without affecting the doors.
7. The parking lights will flash twice to confirm ready mode activation.
The system will exit ready mode if a door, the hood or the trunk is opened, if the brake pedal is pres-
sed, if the parking brake is disengaged or if the ignition key is turned to the
IGNITION ON (RUN)
position.
Remote-start the engine and listen for starter drag.
If the starter cranks for too long, carry out
another tach programming procedure.
Hood switch shutdown.
With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, open the hood; the
vehicle should shut down. If it does not shut down, check the hood pin-switch and its connector.
Brake shutdown circuit.
With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, press and release the
brake pedal. The engine should shut down immediately. If it continues to run, check the brake switch
connection.
