OPTIONAL TIME DELAY ADJUSTMENT IN VIRTUAL TACH SYSTEM
Follow these steps to program crank time adjustment, if needed:
1. In programming mode (page 2).
Before the lights go out, press and hold the brake pedal and press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons
simultaneously the parking lights will flash 4 times. Do not release the brake pedal.
2. Press the LOCK button if you wish to increase the time delay or the UNLOCK button if you want to
decrease it. The time delay will be increased or decreased by 50 ms and the parking lights will flash
once every time the LOCK or UNLOCK button is pressed.
3. Press the TRUNK button to save the settings you have entered.
4. Release the brake pedal – the time delay programming is now complete.
MULTI-SPEED TACH PROGRAMMING (IF INSTALLED)
1. In programming mode (page 2).
2. Before the lights go out, press and hold the brake pedal and press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons
simultaneously the parking lights will flash 4 times. At that point, release the brake pedal.
3. Start the engine and allow the vehicle to reach regular engine idle speed.
4. Once the engine is running at normal idle speed, press the brake pedal and keep it down until you hear the
parking lights flash 5 times.
5. Release the brake pedal the tach programming is now complete.
Caution! – Tach jumper settings:
Some new vehicles have a higher TACH voltage threshold, which would fall out of the normal TACH trigger
circuit of the remote car starter. Changing the jumper to TACH Threshold HIGH will allow the module to
properly detect the TACH signal. BUT, if you are having trouble with the TACH, please call our tech support
team. Problems requiring changing the TACH jumper settings are very rare.
RESETTING THE MODULE
WARNING! By resetting the module, all programmed values are erased i.e.: tach, transmitter as well as
programming options. The programming options are returned to their default values.
1. Enter programming Mode (page 2).
2. Once having reached the programming mode, quickly press and release the brake pedal until the parking
lights flash 8 times.
BYPASS
Remote starters of this series have the ability to work in two way mode (D2D) with Xpresskit bypass modules.
They also offer one way communication with Xpresskit, ADS and Fortin brand bypass modules. Note: For
Hardware 5.0 and higher there can only be one bypass connected to the unit.
NEW FEATURE – SMARTSTART™
When teamed up with a SmartStart
™
-compatible module, remote start features can be accessed using a
smartphone. These features include lock/unlock, engine start/stop, trunk release, panic and alarm notifications.
For alarm notifications, the Xpresskit
™
bypass option (D2D) must be enabled.
To use these features, connect the SmartStart
™
module to the SmartStart
™
port located at the back of the
remote start module (see the wiring diagram). The SmartStart
™
feature must be enabled using the
programming options list found in this guide.
TESTING
Before putting the vehicle back together, it is recommended to check that the system operates properly. The
following testing procedures should be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. Before
testing, make sure that all connections are soldered and that the unit is plugged in.
Make sure the system properly enters and exits ready mode:
Ready mode is a sequence of steps that must be followed in order to allow manual transmission
vehicles to be remote started. To get into ready mode:
If Ready Mode is enabled by remote If Ready Mode is enabled by handbrake
1. Ensure that all the doors, hood and trunk are closed. Make sure that the gear selector is in the neutral
P.6 http://www.autostart.ca Quick Installation Guide
position.
2. With the engine running, apply the parking brake
once and release the brake pedal.
3. Within 20 sec. of engaging the parking brake,
press and hold , or on the
transmitter (SmartStart™ uses only the
SmartStart™ icon).
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and
remain lit. Release the button.
2. With the engine running, apply the parking brake
twice within 10 sec.
3. Make sure to release the brake pedal.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and
remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the engine will keep on running.
5. Exit the vehicle. All doors should be closed, including the hood and trunk.
The engine keeps going until you press either;
x to lock the doors and shut down the engine;
x to unlock the doors and shut down the engine;
x to shut down the engine without affecting the doors.
WARNING: Engine runs until the pre-programmed run time expires.
6. The Parking lights will flash twice to indicate Ready mode is set.
The system will exit ready mode if a door, the hood or the trunk is opened, if the brake pedal is pres-
sed, if the parking brake is disengaged or if the ignition key is turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN)
position.
Remote-start the engine and listen for starter drag. If the starter cranks for too long, carry out
another tach programming procedure or VTS adjustment (page 4).
Hood switch shutdown. With the vehicle running remotely, open the hood; the vehicle should shut
down. If it does not shut down, check the hood pin-switch and its connector.
Brake shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running remotely, press and release the brake pedal. The
engine should shut down immediately. If it continues to run, check the brake switch connection.
Parking brake shutdown circuit (manual transmissions only). With the vehicle running under
remote start, disengage the parking brake. The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine
continues to run, check the parking brake switch connection.
OEM alarm control. Make sure the module is able to arm and disarm the OEM alarm (if applicable).
Door locks and trunk testing. Make sure each of these options respond to the transmitter (if
installed).
Door pin shutdown circuit (manual transmissions only). Make sure the system exits ready mode
when each door is opened. (Test each door.)
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.
Door. Make sure that when the system is armed, opening any door or opening the trunk will trigger
the alarm (if installed).
Hood trigger. Make sure that when the system is armed, opening the hood should trigger the alarm.
