warning! safety first The following safety warnings must be observed at all times: Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized DEI dealer. When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control transmitter. Therefore, never operate the system in an area that does not have adequate ventilation. The fol- lowing precautions are the sole responsibility of the user; however, authorized

installation points to remember q before beginning the installation IMPORTANT! This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use. Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote start system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems t

finding the wait-to-start bulb wire for diesels In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT TO START light in the dash- board. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are properly heated. When the light goes out the vehicle can be started. This wire is always available at the connector leading to the bulb in the dashboard. It can also be found at the Engine Control Module (ECM) in many vehicles. To test and determine the polarity o

This output ceases as soon as the system ® is disarmed. The orange wire is pre-wired to control the DEI 8618 Starter Kill Relay. IMPORTANT! Never interrupt any wire other than the starter wire. ® NOTE: If connecting the orange wire to control another module, such as a DEI 529T or 530T window controller, a 1 amp diode (type 1N4004) will be requi

(-) Light Flash Output NOTE: For parking light circuits that draw 10 amps or more, the internal jumper must be switched to a (-) light flash output. (See the Internal Programming Jumper section of this guide.) P/N 8617 or a standard automotive SPDT relay must be used on the H1/2 light flash output harness wire.

H1/5 GREEN (-) door trigger input, zone 3 Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the green wire to a wire which shows ground when any door is opened. In vehicles with factory delays on the domelight circuit, there is usually a wire that is unaffected by the delay circuitry. This wire will report Zone 3. H1/6 BLUE (-) multiplex input, zone 4 Inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds will trigger the Warn Away response, while inputs longer than 0.8 seconds will trigger the full alarm sequ

secondary harness (H2) wire connection guide H2/1 GRAY/BLACK (-) diesel wait-to-start bulb input Connect this wire to the wire in the vehicle that sends the signal to turn on the WAIT-TO-START bulb in the dash- board. In most diesels the wire is negative (ground turns on the bulb) and the GRAY/BLACK wire can be directly connected to the wire in the vehicle. If the vehicle uses a positive wire (12V to turn on the bulb) a relay must be used to change the polarity. Here are some common colors of th

H2/2 LIGHT GREEN/BLACK (-) factory disarm output This wire sends a negative pulse every time the remote start is activated. This can be used to pulse the disarm wire of the vehicle's factory anti-theft device. Use a relay to send a (-) or (+) pulse to the disarm wire as shown in the diagrams below. This wire can also be used as a special accessory output. (See Feature Descriptions section of this guide.) Relay for Negative (-) Disarm Wire Relay for Positive (+) Disarm Wire H2/3 VIOLET/BLACK 200

neutral safety switch interface Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, a mechanical neutral safety switch that physically interrupts the starter wire is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the remote start is inter- faced before this switch, it will provide protection from starting in gear. However, some vehicles combine the column shift mechanism and the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical part. In these vehicles, it is impossible to
