METHOD 2
21
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.
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 in this installation guide. (Page 9)

D. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to the Remote Start Negative Safety Shut down
Wire Gray/Black, using a 4002 series diode as shown above.
