Multi Coil Pack Adaptor: (Optional)
The multi coil pack adaptor, (P/N 136B1400), is designed for use with vehicles having multiple ignition coils where a
single point tach signal is unavailable.
To use the adaptor, the Green/Black wires must connect to the negative side of the ignition coil(s).
1. For vehicles utilizing independent coils per cylinder, connect the three Green/Black leads to alternate coils. To
achieve optimum performance the coil signals must be evenly distributed. This is accomplished by first mapping
out the firing order of the engine in groups of as indicated below. Draw a circle around any of the columns. The
Green/Black wires should be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the respective cylinder number which ap-
pears in any of the circles.
2. For vehicles utilizing 2 cylinder firing per coil pack, connect Green/Black to the tach side of each coil pack. For 8
cylinder, four coil systems, connect to any of the three coils.
3. Connect the Yellow wire to a +12 volt ignition 1 source. This wire will have +12 volts with the ignition in the on and
start position and have 0 volts with the ignition in the off position.
4. Connect the Green wire to the (Green) or (Orange/Green) tach input of the Audiovox remote start unit.
TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION:
WARNING!! The following procedure must be performed after the installation of an Audiovox Remote Start Device. It
is the responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests. Failure to test the unit in the following manner
may result in personal injury, property damage, or both.
HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN:
The intention of the hood pin safety shut down is to prevent the Remote Start unit from being activated while a me-
chanic or vehicle owner is performing normal routine vehicle maintenance.
To test the integrity of this circuit:
1. With the driver's window in the down position, start the vehicle using the RF transmitter.
2. Reach inside the car and pull the hood release.
3. Raise the hood and confirm that the remote start unit shuts down.
If the unit fails this test, recheck your pin switch connection to the Gray/Black wire of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit.
DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE
OPERATION OF THE HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN FEATURE.
MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE CIRCUIT:
The intent of the manual shut down / enable circuit is to allow the vehicle operator to prevent operation of the Remote
Start Unit regardless of the RF transmitter operation.
To test the integrity of the manual shut down / enable circuit:
1. Place the control switch in the on (Closed To Ground) position.
2. Start the vehicle using the RF transmitter.
3. The vehicle should start and run under the control of the remote start unit.
4. Move the switch to the off (Open From Ground) position, the vehicle should shut off.
If the unit fails this test, recheck your enable switch connection to the Ground and the Black/White wire of the Audiovox
Remote Start Unit. If you have a plug in enable switch, check that the two pin connector is firmly seated in the mating
connector on the control module.
