Option Programming Using the OP500 Option Programmer
The OP500 can be used to program any available option. You must disarm the system before using. You no longer need to program the remotes before using (V.36.2 or greater). It is
required to program options in Special Option Groups 1 and 2. IMPORTANT: You need to update your OP500 to read options on Version 37 or greater modules.
STEP 1: Using the blue connector on the top of the OP500, connect it to the control module via the antenna wire. (Use the included extension cable if necessary.) Once connected,
the OP500 will power up as long as the main ignition harness to the controller has been connected properly.
STEP 2: To change the option number you wish to program, use the left and right arrow keys on the OP500. It will scroll through the options available in menu 1 and then move
to menu 2, then 3 and 4. Use the up and down arrow buttons on the OP500 to adjust the option settings; “1” is the default setting, and “2”, “3”, and “4” are the optional settings.
At the end of menu 4, if diesel mode or auxiliary settings functions were enabled – or if any of the auxiliary outputs were set to “Program”, the duration of these settings
can now be adjusted.
Following the auxiliary and diesel settings (if selected), the POC options will be displayed on the OP500. The POCs can be set between 0 (default) and 19.
STEP 3: When finished with the adjustment of the various option settings, press and hold the “W” (Write) button until the OP-500 chirps, which is approximately 2.5 seconds.
This will write the settings to the control module. Wait until the module displays “Success” before disconnecting it from the antenna cable.
To reset the options, hold the “R” (reset) button and “W” (write) button for 2.5 seconds. To write the reset, hold the “W” button until the OP-500 chirps, which is approximately 2.5 seconds.
Option Programming Using a Remote
Using a remote is a timed process so read this section in its entirety before beginning. IMPORTANT: Special Option Groups cannot be programmed with a remote – the OP500 must
be used. If at any time during the process you hear a long siren or horn sound the system kicked you out of programming mode.
STEP 1: Select the option menu that contains the desired programming option.
To select a menu, use the following button combinations:
I+II for 2.5 sec. then I+II for 2.5 sec. Menu 1
I+II for 2.5 sec. then I+IV for 2.5 sec. Menu 2
I+IV for 2.5 sec. then I+II for 2.5 sec. Menu 3
I+IV for 2.5 sec. then I+IV for 2.5 sec. Menu 4
*Pro 2 Way remotes will display the error number “Strt Er##” on the
LCD.
*Buttons I, II, III, IV correspond to I = Lock, 2 = Unlock, 3 = Trunk, 4 = Start on 1 Way remotes
STEP 2: After entering the option menu that contains the desired option, tap button (IV) on two-way remotes for .5 seconds and buttons (Trunk + Start) on one-way remotes
for 2.5 seconds the number of times equal to the option number. Wait for a parking light flash and siren chirp between each button press. After selecting the desired option number,
the system will confirm which option you have selected by the number of siren chirps and parking light flashes.
STEP 3: Once the system is finished confirming the option number, set the option to the desired setting by tapping buttons I, II, III, or IV. To set options with the one-way remote the
button configuration is different. Tap the Lock Button for Setting 1, Tap the Unlock Button for Setting 2, Tap the Key Button for Setting 3, and Hold the Trunk and Key Buttons for Setting
4.
Resetting to Factory Defaults: To reset the options in a particular menu group, enter the menu by following STEP 1, then tap button III for 0.5 sec, three times. Wait for the siren to chip
and parking lights to flash between each tap. After the third tap, the option menu will reset and the siren will chirp three times. This must be done for each option group that needs to
be reset.
Option Programming Using the 1-Way Antenna Button
Programming the main controller option using an antenna is a timed process so you should read the instructions entirely before beginning.
STEP 1: Turn vehicle’s ignition to the on position.
STEP 2: Selecting the Option Menu - Select the option menu that contains the option you would like to adjust. Be aware, the special option groups are not available when programming
options with an antenna. To select a menu, use the following button combinations:
Hold antenna button until you hear/see 1 chirp/parking light flash. Menu 1
Hold antenna button until you hear/see 2 chirps/parking light flashes. Menu 2
Hold antenna button until you hear/see 3 chirps/parking light flashes. Menu 3
Hold antenna button until you hear/see 4 chirps/parking light flashes. Menu 4
STEP 3: Selecting the Specific Option - After entering the option menu that contains the option you wish to change, tap the antenna button the number of times equal to the option
number you wish to change. A few seconds after you have stopped selecting an option, the system will confirm which option you have selected by the number of siren chirps and parking
light flashes.
STEP 4: Setting the Option - After the system is finished confirming the option number, set the option to your desired setting by tapping the antenna button 1,2,3, or 4 times.
Resetting to Factory Defaults: To reset the options in a menu, enter the menu as if you were going to program an option then hold the antenna button for three seconds. The option
menu will reset and the siren will chirp three times. The options in the other three menus will remain set.
