On cars with airbags, you may notice bright yellow tubes or harnesses

marked SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) underneath the steering

column area. DO NOT tamper with these wires in any way, to prevent

personal injury and/or damage to the air bag system.

Battery gases are explosive.

Do not smoke while working near the car’s battery.

Note: Some installers connect a battery charger to the vehicle’s battery during

installation. This is fine, but it must be removed before running the vehicle under

remote starter control.

All General Motors (GM), rear wheel drive vehicles built prior to 1995

with automatic transmissions and Dodge Dakota trucks (4 cylinder

engines only) with automatic transmissions built prior to 1996 have a

MECHANICAL TYPE of NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH. See important

warning on the last page of these instructions.

When running the wires through the car’s firewall, be sure to protect

them from sharp metal edges and from hot surfaces on and around the

engine.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before You Start

Take time to read through the whole installation manual before beginning.

Always leave a window open to avoid locking your keys in your car.

IMPORTANT:

After having read the entire manual, start the installation

by putting the yellow WARNING STICKER in the engine compartment.

Choose a surface that is clean and readily visible when the hood is open.

POWER & IGNITION HARNESS

The remote starter module will be installed under the dash once all wiring has been

completed. Do not mount the module at this time! You will need to check

the red diagnostic LED light as the installation progresses.

Locate (or

drill) a hole in the firewall to run the PURPLE and GREEN wires of the Control

Harness and the PINK wire of the

Power Harness into the engine compartment.

The remaining short wires stay in the passenger area. Leave about a foot of the wire

harness under the dash for ease of working and visual access to the diagnostic light.

The Installation Information section of

www.designtech-intl.com is available 24

hours/day to provide you with free, up-to-date vehicle wiring information for your

particular vehicle.

Note: Always connect the

PINK

and

BLACK

wires before connecting any of the other

wires. Do not insert the fuse until Step 11.

2. Black Wire (16 AWG) – Ground

Connect the BLACK

wire to a very good, clean chassis ground in the driver’s kick

panel area. Use the small ring terminal. (The thin metal bracing around or beneath

the dash board is not always adequate.)

3. Pink Wire (12 AWG) – Power (+12 Volts)

Connect the ring terminal at the end of the short PINK

wire to the +12 Volt terminal of

the battery. Run the long PINK wire through the firewall of your vehicle. Join the

remaining ends of the power wire together by soldering them. Tape with electrical

tape to leave no exposed wires. Alternatively, you may wish to use the yellow butt

connector, but we recommend soldering. Wait to insert the 30 amp green fuse into

the holder until Step 11. As the power is first applied to the unit the red diagnostic

LED light will blink once.

Note: Failure to properly install the fuse holder and 30 amp fuse to the PINK wire to

the battery voids all product warranties.

Ignition Key Diagram for Steps 4-7

The vehicle’s wires are found coming off of the key switch.

Remove the panel under the steering column to access

these wires.

4. Blue Wire (14 AWG) – Ignition 1

Connect the BLUE wire to the ignition 1 wire of your vehicle. This wire will measure

+12 Volts on the test meter in the “run” and

“start” position, and is off in the “lock/

off” and “accessory” positions.

5. Green (14 AWG) – Ignition 2

Connect the GREEN wire to the Ignition 2 wire in the vehicle. The Ignition 2 wire can

function in several different ways in your vehicle. It is important to understand how it

works. The Ignition 2 wire will usually measure +12 Volts in the “run” position and

is off (ground) in the “lock/off” and “accessory” positions. In certain vehicles, it may

also show +12 Volts in the “Start” position or Ignition 2 may turn OFF during “Crank”

and turn back ON after the starter disengages. Carefully note the function of the

Ignition 2 wire. If the Ignition 2 turns OFF during “Crank”, set Option #4 (section

23). If Ignition 2 stays ON during “Crank”, no options need to be changed.

6. White Wire (14 AWG) – Accessory

Connect the WHITE wire to the accessory wire which is +12 Volts in the “run” and

“accessory” position, but off in the “start” and “off” positions. In GM vehicles, connect

the white wire to the orange wire that is hot in “run” only.

7. Yellow (14 AWG) – Starter

Connect the

YELLOW wire to the starter wire. This wire will measure +12 Volts on

the test meter in the “start” position only.

Note: Most Nissan vehicles have two starter wires. Connect both starter wires of the

vehicle to the

YELLOW start wire of the remote starter.

8. Plug-In On/0ff Switch

Mount the control switch so that it is easily accessible and so that the “ON” position

is facing upward. Make sure there is enough clearance behind the mounted switch

for the wire connections. Do not let the switch wires touch ground. Do not plug the

switch into the unit until it is mounted first. Connection of this switch is mandatory.

Use a 1/4" drill-bit for the mounting hole.

Plug the ON/OFF control switch into the module just to the right of the power wires.

Turn the switch “on.”

CONTROL HARNESS

ALL WIRES ARE THE SMALLER 18 AWG SIZE

9. Purple Wire – Hood Pin Switch – Control Harness

The hood pin switch MUST be installed with the remote

starter. It prevents operation of the remote starter when

the hood is open and is used to initialize the unit. Connect

the PURPLE wire to the hood pin switch using the red

connector.

Note:

If you already have a hood pin switch which is

being used by a car alarm system, you may share the

wiring – but be sure to diode isolate each wire going to

the hood pin switch with the bands of diodes pointing

towards the pin switch as shown at right.

10. Orange Wire – Brake Shut-off – Control Harness

Connect the ORANGE wire to the brake wire which receives +12 Volts when the brake

pedal is depressed. This wire must be connected. It arms a critical safety feature

which disables the remote starter when the brake pedal is depressed.

Note: In some cars, the ignition must be in the “on” position to test the power in the

brake wire.

WARNING

This car is equipped with a remote control starting device.

Disable before working on car!

AVERTISSEMENT

Ce véhicule est équipé d’un systéme de démarrage a distance. Mettez-le

hors fonction avant d’eflectuer toute opération d’entretien ou de réparation!
