Autostart AS-1820FM Remote Starter User Manual


 
The Programming Assistance Button
(A.k.a. the PAB.) Mounted on the
Remote Car Starter, this button can be
used from within the vehicle instead of
the Hood Pin switch in the Engine
compartment. This will spare the installer
the trouble of accessing the Hood Pin
switch in the Engine compartment.
Caution
The Hood Pin switch must be installed and connec-
ted in order for the Programming Assistance Button
to function. The button will work only when the
Hood is up.
Programming a Transmitter
Before you Proceed
The Transmitter of the Remote Car Starter is not delivered pre-programmed: it must be
programmed after the wiring of the Remote Car Starter is completed. The Remote Car
Starter has the ability to retain up to 4 different Transmitter codes; if a fifth Transmitter is
code-learnt, the code of the first Transmitter will be lost from memory. To erase all
Transmitter codes from memory, you must perform a reset of the Remote Car Starter
(see Resetting the Remote Car Starter, later in this Guide, for more details).
The Transmitter Programming Procedure
1. Flash the Hood Pin switch (see Table 1)
– The Parking Lights will stay ON for up to 20 seconds.
– Before the lights go out, turn the Ignition Key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
– Immediately turn the Ignition Key back to the OFF position.
Press and hold the LOCK button and keep it down until the Parking Lights flash
5 times quickly.
– The Remote Car Starter has stored the code of the Transmitter into memory.
2. To exit: close the Hood.
