Green/White Loop
This loop wire determines the transmission setting. The default position (uncut loop) is for manual
transmissions. When the loop is cut, the system will be ready for automatic transmissions. In the default
(manual transmission) 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.
Manual Transmission
Reservation Mode: This refers to the process that is performed in preparation for remote starting a
manual transmission vehicle. This mode will allow the manual transmission vehicle to safely remote start
and must be performed every time the user wants to remote start the vehicle. Th system will monitor all
doors, hood, and trunk so if any zones are opened after reservation mode has been set up, the vehicle will not
start. You can find our Manual transmission guide here at https://install.myfirstech.com
Installation Requirements
1.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The vehicle’s clutch must be temporarily bypassed ONLY when the remote start cranks the
engine. This bypass simulates the clutch being depressed. For complete details on how to wire a
momentary clutch bypass visit https://install.myfirstech.com and review the Manual Transmission guide
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 or their authorized
dealers will not assume any responsibility for improper use or install.
