Timed Crank Setting – Automatic Transmission Only
Option 2-10 setting 4 provides a timed 1.5 second crank for the remote start sequence. This option just cranks
the vehicle for 1.5 seconds and assumes remote start has completed. This option can be used for GM and other
vehicles with built in anti-grind systems.
Green/White Loop
This loop wire determines the transmission setting. The default position (uncut loop) is for manual transmis-
sions. When the loop is cut, the system will be ready for automatic transmissions. In the default (manual trans-
mission) mode, the system must be set up in Reservation mode prior to the vehicle being able to remote start.
IMPORTANT: All warranties or claims are void if a controller with a cut loop is installed on a vehicle with a
manual transmission.
Reservation Mode for Manual Transmissions
To remote start a manual transmission vehicle, the system must rst be set up in reservation mode. Reservation
mode is designed to prevent the vehicle from remote starting while the transmission is in gear.
Installation Requirements
1. The vehicle’s door triggers must be connected to the control module. Prior to making nal connections, test
the factory door triggers to ensure that they are functioning properly.
2. The vehicle’s emergency/parking brake wire must be connected to the control module. The proper vehicle
wire usually provides a negative (-) trigger while the emergency / parking brake is set.
3. The vehicle’s clutch must be momentarily bypassed while the remote start cranks the engine. This momen-
tary bypass simulates the clutch being depressed. For complete details on how to wire a momentary clutch
bypass consult your CompuTech program or contact our technical support department by calling 888-820-3690.
IMPORTANT: Do not install a remote start in manual transmission vehicles with convertible / removable tops
and in user’s vehicles that leave their windows down. Firstech nor their authorized dealers will assume responsi-
bility for improper use or install.
Activating Reservation Mode
STEP 1: Start the vehicle with the key. Place the transmission in neutral, remove pressure from the pedal
brake, and set the emergency/parking brake.
STEP 2: Remove the key from the vehicle’s ignition. The vehicles engine should remain running even after the
key has been removed. If the vehicle does not remain running, check the emergency / parking brake connection.
STEP 3: Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s engine should shut off upon closing the door. If the
vehicle’s engine does not shut off, check the door trigger connection or wait for the factory dome-light to go
out. The Firstech system is in reservation mode and the vehicle is ready to safely remote start.
