1. Thoroughly read and become familiar with the installation instructions before beginning the
installation.
2. Review system contents:
Main Unit
(2) One Button Remote Transmitters
Harnesses
•
16-Pin main harness
•
2-Pin LED harness
•
2-Pin Override Switch harness
3. Verify vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection, and starts/idles normally before
installation.
4. Determine if vehicle is equipped with a factory theft deterrent system and obtain proper bypass
module if required.
5. Find a location to mount the hood pin switch that will not interfere with the opening of the hood,
and is not in a position that can accumulate water. The hood pin is a safety device that must be
installed to avoid remote starting during engine servicing.
6. Verify with the owner, mounting locations for all visible components, including the LED and Valet
switch.
7. Verify with the owner, the optional features of the Astra Starter and the Functions that must be
programmed during installation.
8. Inspect and perform a function test of all vehicle systems before and after the installation.
9. Always use a Volt / Ohm meter for testing vehicle circuits. Never use a test light.
10. Always look before drilling any holes or mounting self-tapping screws. Be sure fuel lines and
exterior wiring looms are clear as they are often close to the chassis and difficult to see.
11. Protect all wires running from the engine compartment to the interior of the vehicle by covering
with electrical tape and split loom tubing. Be sure to use a grommet when routing wires through
the firewall.
12. Properly fuse any additional accessories such as window modules, door lock actuators, etc.,
making sure to power them separate from the alarm module. This will ensure the functionality of
the security system in the event of an accessory failure.
Mounting the Control Unit
The control unit must only be mounted in the interior of the vehicle. Do not mount the main
unit in the engine compartment. Choose a mounting location that will not be easily accessible
to a thief, and will not interfere with the operation of any vehicle components such as foot
pedals, steering column, air vents, seat rails, etc.
Do not mount the control unit until after setting the internal jumpers and performing a complete
operation check of the system. After installation is complete and performance verified, the
control unit can be easily mounted using wire ties through the mounting tabs on the bottom of
the unit.
