time to properly explain all functions and features to the customers before they leave the premises.
Doing this will save time and money.

Manual or Automatic Transmission
This module may be installed on vehicles with manual or automatic transmissions. It is originally configured for manual
transmissions. If the vehicle you are working on is automatic, it is mandatory to make a few quick and easy modifications before
the unit is connected. In the event that the configuration requires changes afterwards, a complete reset will be
necessary before those changes become effective.
To install this unit in a vehicle with a manual transmission:
1. Make sure the Yellow loop on the PC board is connected.
2. Connect the Orange handbrake wire located on the 12-pin harness to the vehicle handbrake switch.
3. Connect the Blue/White (+) door input OR
the Grey (-) door input wire located on the 12-pin harness to the
vehicle door pin wire, which monitors all the doors of the vehicle (only use 1 of the 2 door trigger inputs).
4. Make sure the Purple TACH wire is plugged in – the TACH wire MUST be hooked up when the module is set for
a manual transmission.
5. Make all your regular connections.
6. Power up the unit by first inserting the 5-pin connector, then the 6-pin connector and finally the 12-pin connector.
The parking lights will flash 4 times.
7. When learning the transmitter, the parking lights will flash 5 times quickly.
8. Upon the first successful remote start, the system will lock the transmission settings to manual mode.
To install this unit in a vehicle with an automatic transmission:
1. Cut the loop on the pc board (Yellow wire).
2. Make sure the Orange handbrake wire is not
connected to any of the vehicle circuits.
3. Make all the regular connections.
4. Power up the unit. The parking lights will flash 4 times.
5. When learning the first transmitter, the parking lights will flash 5 times quickly then give 2 slow flashes.
6. Upon the first successful remote start once the yellow loop has been cut, the system will lock the
transmission settings to automatic mode.
Note: If upon pressing the
START button, the parking lights give 3 slow flashes, make sure that the Orange handbrake wire is
not connected and that the yellow loop is cut and isolated.
