Frequently Asked Questions
I have everything hooked up and the system will not respond.
A: The remotes need to be programmed. Review the “Remote Programming Procedure” section of this manual.
Can I use the RS232 Port on the control module for my bypass module?
A: No, Firstech recommends hardwiring all the bypass modules because certain protocols on the control module may cause issues. You can still use the power and ground pins off that
plug however cutting the RX and TX wires should eliminate the possibility of any issues.
What do I do with the thick blue wire on CN1 and the Jumper in the control module?
A: The blue wire is prewired to an internal relay inside the control module. The jumper controls how that wire powers up. It should be defaulted to power up as an Ignition.
What is the violet wire with a butt connecter on CN2 for?
A: This wire should be connected to the short violet wire on the anti-grind relay. This is only used if you install the included anti-grind relay.
I am trying to program the control module with the OP500 Option Programmer. What port should I plug into?
A: You unplug the antenna cable at the antenna then plug in the optional extension cable. The male end of the extension cable should plug into the blue port on the top of the OP500.
When the OP500 is working properly, it will read “success good.”
How do I connect the Anti-Grind / Starter Kill relay?
A: As shown in the diagram above the relay has two wires, a yellow/black and yellow. You interrupt the vehicle’s starter wire and the yellow/black will always go to the key side
. The
yellow will always go to the motor side
.
Do the (-) door lock outputs (blue and blue/black) flip flop in polarity?
A: No to change the polarity you must use the DM600 polarity changing harness, the CompuPak, or 2 relays to change the output from (-) to (+).
I need a ground when armed wire for i.e. window modules, does control the module have one?
A: To activate this you must first program option 1-10. You can use the violet wire on CN1 that goes to the starter kill relay. You must cut this wire and place a diode in line so that when
the ignition on the other side of the relay goes to ground, it won’t back feed to your accessory. Install the stripe side of the diode facing the control module.
Drive Lock (Ignition Controlled Door Locks) are programmed but still do not function. What is wrong?
A: Once you program Option 2-05 the doors will lock when you hold the foot brake. This will not happen if the doors are open and you have not connected the (+) foot brake wire.
Are the CompuStar Pro 2 Way remotes compatible with the CM4200?
A: No, you must reinstall a new control module.
Can I program options with the 1 Button, CM1000-S, or 2BSHLED remotes?
A: No, you cannot change options with the 1 Button, CM1000-S, or 2BSHLED remotes. You must use a 4 button 1WAMR or higher.
How do I know what antenna pairs up to the remote?
A: Check a few things on both antenna and remote(s): The FCC ID number should be similar on both remote and antenna. The model numbers should also be similar for example: ANT-
2W900FM(TC) will pair up with the 2W900FMR.
I have the CM1000-S remote. Is it compatible with a CM4200?
A: No, this remote will only work with CM1000-S control modules.
How do I set reservation mode?
A: Reservation mode requires connecting the e-brake wire, tach and door trigger(s). While the vehicle is running with the key, set the e-brake. Wait a few seconds and then take the key
out of the ignition. The vehicle should stay running until you open and close all the doors. After a few seconds after the vehicle stops running you can remote start.
