Notice

The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any electrical damage resulting from improper installation of the product, be that either
damage to the vehicle itself or to the unit. This unit must be installed by a certified technician using all safety devices supplied. Please
note that this guide has been written for properly trained Autostart technicians: a certain level of skills and knowledge is therefore
assumed. Please review the installation guide carefully before beginning any work.

Installation

Guide

‰

OEM alarm control.

Make sure the module is able to arm and disarm the oem alarm (if applicable).

‰

Door pin shutdown circuit.

Make sure the system

exits ready mode

when each door is opened while the vehicle is

running under a remote start. (Test each door.)

‰

Door locks and trunk testing.

Make sure each of these options respond to the transmitter (if installed).

‰

Starter kill option.

Sit inside the vehicle with all doors closed. Arm the vehicle, then try to start the engine with the key.

The engine should not start. If the engine starts, rewire the starter kill to reach proper operation.

‰

Valet mode.

Make sure the remote car starter is able to properly enter and exit valet mode. When setting the remote car

starter into valet mode, pressing the lock button will lock the doors without activating the starter kill. (Refer to the user
guide for further information on valet mode.)

‰

Idle mode.

Make sure the vehicle properly enters and exits idle mode.

‰

Most comebacks are the result of misunderstandings about how a product works or performs. Take the time to
properly explain all functions and features to the customers before they leave the premises. Doing this will save
time and money.
