2-01 Tach Threshold: This feature will determine the threshold used to determine the point at which the
CMX releases the starter based on the sampled tach signal.
FO1 - Optimal Tach reading: This option will allow the CMX to sample the tach signal several times
during tach programming and select the optimal tach voltage at which to release the starter.
FO2 - Previous tach reading: This option will set the CMX to record the idle voltage which it is being
programmed. The CMX will release the starter once the idle tach voltage is met.
2-02 Turbo Timer Mode: (This feature requires door and e-brake input) This feature allows the user to
activate Turbo Timer Mode with their Firstech remote or accessory. This will keep the engine running
after removing the key for the specified time selected below. (Please check specific remote or
accessory user ’s manual for steps to enable Turbo Timer Mode)
FO1 - Off: (default)
FO2 - 2 Minutes: This option allows for a 2-minute run time after Turbo Mode has been engaged. To
engage, set the e-brake, remove key, exit vehicle, and lock with the Firstech remote or accessory. Note:
when using Turbo Mode with a manual transmission, the CMX will NOT lock the doors
automatically. The system must be locked using the Firstech remote or accessory.
FO3 - 1 minute: This option allows for a 1-minute run time after Turbo Mode has been engaged. To
engage, set the e-brake, remove key, exit vehicle, and lock with the Firstech remote or accessory. Note:
when using Turbo Mode with a manual transmission, the CMX will NOT lock the doors
automatically. The system must be locked using the Firstech remote or accessory.
FO4 - 4 minutes: This option allows for a 4-minute run time after Turbo Mode has been engaged. To
engage, set the e-brake, remove key, exit vehicle, and lock with the Firstech remote or accessory. Note:
when using Turbo Mode with a manual transmission, the CMX will NOT lock the doors
automatically. The system must be locked using the Firstech remote or accessory.
2-03 Diesel wait to start: Note: OP500 required to adjust time from any of the default settings,
will show up as DISL on the top line of text when option 2 or 3 are enabled. This feature provides a
timed alternative solution to a hard-wired glow plug input to enable the CMX to wait to start.
FO1 - Wire: (default) This option will allow the CMX to read input on brown/white wire (PIC3), or
PINK wire pin 14, CN5. Either input must be programmed to “glow plug input” It may be connected
to a wait to start indicator on the vehicle. When the CMX sees input, it will delay the crank output for
up to 99 seconds or until signal has been removed.
FO2 - Program (3-99 seconds): default setting is 12 seconds. This option allows the installer to adjust
the time in 1 second increments that the CMX waits before cranking the starter.
FO3 - 7 seconds: This option offers a fixed 7 second delay before providing starter output.
FO4 - GM Ignition delay: This option is designed to delay the ignition output 250mS during the
remote start procedure. This allows for the accessory to output first, then ignition, to simulate normal
key starting. There are some vehicle models that may require this additional delay in order for it to
remote start properly.
