CM6000 Install Guide
Alarm and Starter System
www.firstechonline.com | www.compustar.com
Installation Requirements
1. The vehicle’s door triggers must be connected to the control module. Prior to making final 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 ve-
hicle wire usually provides a negative (-) trigger while the emergency / parking brake is set.
3. The vehicle’s clutch must be temporarily bypassed while the remote start cranks the engine. This bypass
simulates the clutch being depressed. For complete details on how to wire a momentary clutch bypass con-
sult 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
responsibility 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 and your tach 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.
Additional Notes
Reservation mode will be cancelled if the control module recognizes the vehicles door, hood or trunk
opening – or if the alarm is triggered. Each time the end user wants to remote start their manual
transmission vehicle, they must set the control module in reservation mode. Reservation mode settings can
be programmed with Option 1-06.
Version Diagnostics
All the new control modules come with the ability to check which firmware is on the module. This is
accomplished by turning the ignition on. Then with 2 Way remotes you must hold buttons 1 and 4 together
for 2.5 seconds. With the 1 Way remotes you must hold the Lock and Key/Start buttons together for 2.5
seconds. Current version starts with 1 flash.
Blade Cartridge Slot and Connector
CM6000, CM6200, and CM6300 slot gives you the ability to use the Blade-AL and Blade-TB modules from
Firstech and ADS. With these modules you can virtually eliminate all wire connections between your control
module and bypass module. You only need to connect the main ignition harness and your needed wires on
the 20 pin Blade connector. For more information on how to program and wire the Blade please visit www.
idatalink.com for the specific wiring diagram for that vehicle.
