a instant fire,(no glow plug pre-heat system), feature#9 should remain in the defaultGasoline mode setting.
For diesel applications, consult your dealer for the type of ignition system used in your particular vehicle.
Regardless of the vehicle, Gasoline or Diesel, for every installation, the vehicle MUST HAVE a Tach Signal
Output, and an Automatic Transmission.
INSTALLATIONOFTHEMAJORCOMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting location
selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin main wiring
harness.
Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the module
to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around or block the
steering wheel, preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen location using cable ties
or screws as necessary.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
HOOD PIN SWITCH:
The pin switch included in this package is required for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is
being worked on, this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued.
This switch MUST be installed in all applications Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage.
Mount the switch in an area under the hood that is away from water drain paths. If necessary, the included brackets
may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In
either case the switch must be set up to allow the hood door to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood
is closed and fully extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully
check behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill
a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well socket. If using
the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin switch in the pre-threaded
mounting bracket hole.
THERECEIVER/ANTENNAASSEMBLY:
The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dash board
for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle for best reception.
Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metallic shielded
window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the antenna toward a rear window
location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape provided. After securing the antenna it is
recommended to secure a section of the antenna cable to a fixed support. This will prevent the antenna from
dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to extreme heat which may loosen it's gummed surface.
PROGRAM SWITCH:
Select a mounting location that is within reach of the ignition switch, as this switch, in combination with the ignition
switch, will be used to program the selectable features of the system. It is suggested that the switch be mounted to
the lower dash panel in the driver's area. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that adequate clearance is
allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by passing it through the panel from the underside.
Secure the switch using the nut, star washer, and on/off face plate. It is best to orient the switch to allow the on
position to be up toward the driver and the off position to be down or away from the driver. Route the switch wires
toward the control module.
CONTROL SWITCH:
Select a mounting location known and accessible to the operator of the vehicle. A lower dash panel, kick panel, or
glove box is desirable. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that adequate clearance is allowed for the body
of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines.
