This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only.
Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use.
■ Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote start
system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multi-
plexed systems that can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic probes
(computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-meter before making connections.
■ Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoid
disconnecting the battery if possible. Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their
warning lights after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which can
require a trip to the dealer.
■ Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.
■ Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.
■ Test all functions. The "Using Your System" section of the Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.
■ Complete the vehicle
Safety Check
outlined in this manual prior to the vehicle reassembly.

Things to remember when positioning the control module:
■ Never place the control module in the engine compartment!
■ The first thing a thief will do when hot-wiring a vehicle is to remove the driver's side under-dash panel to
access the starter and ignition wires. You should therefore avoid placing the control module just behind the
driver’s side dash to prevent it from being easily disconnected during a theft attempt.
■ When locating the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the harness
wires (they are 1.5 meters long).
■ Keep the control module away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.
