9 PURPLE
(–) External
Trigger
The External Trigger wire can be used for remote-
starting the vehicle with an external device. When
the vehicle is running, triggering this input will
activate Idle Mode. The External Trigger wire can
also be used to operate as a negative trigger with
the Trunk Pin-switch, the Key Sense wire or the
Door Pin-switch:
Option 1 Connects to Negative Trunk Pin. When
this wire is programmed for TRUNK PIN, pressing
TRUNK will activate a 1-second DISARM output. If
ground (-) is detected on the TRUNK PIN (the Trunk
has been opened), an ARM pulse will be sent 5
seconds after the Trunk is closes. An ARM pulse
will be sent 4 seconds after the TRUNK button is
pressed if the Trunk pin state is unchanged (The
Trunk was unopened). DISARM is sent only if the
system was previously locked and armed. If Secure
Lock is enabled, UNLOCK pulse(s) will be sent with
DISARM, a LOCK pulse and a REARM pulse will
be sent when the Trunk is closed or if the Trunk was
left closed.
Option 2 (Default: Engine Start/Stop): The first
Ground (-) pulse on this input will start the Engine,
the second Ground (-) pulse on this input will stop
the Engine.
Option 3 (Key Sense (-) Input): Connects to OEM
Key Sense Wire. When the Key is detected in the
Ignition Switch (Ground (-) signal on the OEM Key
Sense Wire) the Starter Kill will not ARM even when
it is set to Passive Mode. If Secure Lock is
programmed, LOCK and ARM will not be activated
while the Key Sense input is active (“active”
meaning there is a key in the Ignition barrel).
10 WHITE
(–) Ground Out
When Running
This wire provides a constant 500 mA ground output
while the Remote Car Starter is running. This output
becomes active at the same time as the Ignition and
shuts off when the Remote Car Starter shuts down,
e.g.: when the Run Time has expired, when the
STOP button has been pressed, etc. This output
can be used to activate external relays, bypass kits,
etc..
