Additional information concerning Key In Sensor methods1&2arelisted 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 below .
