Remote Coding Procedure  
Arming and Disarming the System  
The remote must be coded to the system installed in the vehicle before it  
can be operated in any way. Listed below is the remote coding  
procedure, please read through the directions before beginning.  
To arm the alarm, hold the  
flashing. To disarm the alarm, hold the  
remote stops flashing. In either case, if the LED on the remote stops flashing  
and the operation was not performed, you will need to release the button and try  
again. These operations will lock and unlock the doors as well.

Step 4 : Wait a few seconds.  
The parking lights on the vehicle should flash twice.  
If you programmed three remotes, the lights will flash twice right  
away without waiting a few seconds.  
Panic Mode  
Locking and Unlocking the Doors  
Panic mode is to be activated when you are in trouble, or when you otherwise  
want to call attention to your vehicle. Once panic mode is activated, the doors  
will lock, the system will arm, and the siren will begin to sound. At this time the  
parking lights will be flashing as well. To activate panic mode, hold the  
button down for at least 2.5 seconds.  
To lock the vehicle doors, hold the  
remote stops flashing. To unlock the doors, hold the  
button down until the LED on the

When in Valet mode, locking and unlocking the vehicle doors will be the  
only operations available through the remote, the system will not arm the  
alarm. The siren will be muted at this time as well. Use Valet mode mainly  
for the reasons described in the “Safety Information” section of this  
With Passive Arming/Locking turned on, the system will arm and lock the  
doors 30 seconds after closing the last open door. The process will go as  
follows:  
10 seconds after closing the last door : 1 siren chirp and 1 parking light flash.  
20 seconds after closing the last door : 1 siren chirp and 1 parking light flash.

Note: If you have lost or damaged the remote, you can manually enter  
Valet mode by turning the ignition on then off 5 times.  
You can exit Valet mode only with a remote.  
This process is designed to notify you that the system is about to lock the  
doors in case your keys are still located in the vehicle. If this process begins,  
but you don't want the doors to lock, simply open one of the doors or turn the  
ignition to the ON position. The process will stop until the either the ignition is  
turned off and/or the last door is closed again. It will then restart at the

Arming/Locking.  
Starter or Ignition Kill  
Ignition Controlled Door Locks  
All systems come with a pre-wired starter kill relay that, when the system  
is locked and armed, the relay is set to monitor the ignition. If the ignition  
is turned on, the relay will trigger and sever the starter wire to keep the  
vehicle from starting, even with the key.  
With this feature turned on, when the vehicle is started with the key, the  
doors will lock after the vehicle has started. The doors will lock as soon as  
the key has been inserted and a turned to the ON position and either 30  
seconds has passed, or the brake pedal has been pressed. The doors will  
then unlock when you turn the key to the OFF position. This option must  
be turned on through option programming.  
Alternatively, the relay can be rewired to sever the ignition wire instead.  
This would be optimal in two cases; manual transmission vehicles, and  
for using Anti-Jacking mode.

In a manual transmission vehicle, if the ignition is powered up, the vehicle  
can be compression or “bump” started without using the starter. Disabling the  
ignition will keep the vehicle from starting.  
Installation Guide  
Anti-Jacking Mode  
To use Anti-Jacking mode, the starter kill relay must be rewired to an  
ignition kill, and Anti-Jacking mode must be turned on in the programming  
options. With Anti-Jacking mode, if someone pulls you out of your vehicle  
while it is running and attempts to drive off with it, you can then Panic the

will then sound the siren and flash the parking lights, 30 seconds later; the  
system will activate the ignition kill which will disable the vehicle. This is so  
you can activate Panic mode while the thief is still in range of your remote

disabled.

b. Connecting and insulating wires  
Installation Tips and Recommendations  
.
.
Solder all connections.  
Insulate all wires with shrink tube or electrical tape.  
1. Precautions to prevent locking yourself out  
c. Make sure that vibration or heat will not damage or otherwise alter your  
installation.  
.
Lower the window in one or more doors before beginning installation. This  
allows you to reach inside the vehicle in case you accidentally lock the keys  
inside the vehicle during the course of installation. Remotes are not  
programmed to the system so you will have to program them before operating  
the system. See page 5 for details.  
Use zip-ties, tape or other securing devices to ensure that your wires and  
components stay where you put them.  
.
.
Do not route wires or mount components near sources of extreme heat  
such as exhaust manifolds.  
2. Use a digital multi-meter for testing circuits  
Do not route wires or mount components near moving parts of the  
engine or vehicle.  
Use a digital multi-meter for all wire testing in the vehicle. This should be done  
on all wires even if you feel that you know exactly what they are and how they  
should test. Use of a test light draws a considerable amount of current and may  
damage the electrical circuit you are testing.  
d. User familiarity with operations.  
.
The operations and features of the system should be explained  
thoroughly to the customer to prevent frustration due to the inability to  
operate all functions.  
3.Find a good ground  
One of the most important wire connections you will make is the connection to  
ground. Please find a location that has a low resistance path to the ground  
terminal of the battery. A poor ground will result in all kinds of future problems  
in operation.  
5. Vehicle check-in and check-out.  
Doing a vehicle check-in prior to installation will help identify safety  
hazards that are currently present in the vehicle.  
A vehicle check-in can be used to identify any present damage to the  
vehicle that may be blamed on the shop or installer when the vehicle  
is picked up or even at a later date.  
Damage could include vehicle systems that are malfunctioning or even  
not functioning at all, as well as scratches and dents.  
A vehicle check-out can be used to make sure the vehicle is functioning  
as well as it did when it was checked in, as well as be used as a time to  
educate the customer about the various features and functions of their  
new system.  
4.Make surethe installation is not, or will not,  
be a driving hazard  
During the installation process, try to foresee any potential hindrances,  
distractions, or problems for the driver.  
a. Driving hazards  
.
There should be no wiring around any of the pedals.

When installing additional sensors, use this wire as the input wire to the alarm

This option requires that the starter kill relay be installed in the ignition circuit,  
rather than into the starter circuit. With this option turned on, Panic mode will  
become Anti-Jacking mode. If Anti-Jacking is activated while the vehicle is  
running with the key in the ignition, the siren will sound for 30 seconds.  
After 30 seconds the system will break the ignition circuit, therby disabling the  
vehicle. The siren will continue to play for 1 more minute. With this option  
turned off, when Panic mode is activated, the system will arm, activate the  
starter kill, and play the siren for 1.5 minutes.

process from the beginning.  
With this option enabled, after disarming the system with the remote,  
the system will relock the doors and arm the alarm after 30 seconds if a door

given, the siren will chirp once to indicate that the alarm is about to rearm.  
At 30 seconds after, the siren will chirp once, and the system will arm the  
alarm. If you wish to stop this process, you must open a door within 30 seconds
