MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SETUP
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 necessary 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. (Default)
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. It will monitor all the doors of the vehicle (only use 1 of the 2
door trigger inputs).
4. Make sure the Purple TACH wire is installed on a TACH source – 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 back of the remote starter module (Yellow wire).
2. Make sure the Orange handbrake wire is not connected to any of the vehicle circuits (cut and
tape).
3. Make all the regular connections.
4. 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, the system will lock the transmission settings to automatic
mode.
