installation points to remember

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.

before beginning the installation

■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 that can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic

probes (computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-meter before making con-

nections.

■Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If equipped with an air bag,

avoid disconnecting the battery if possible. Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their

warning lights after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which can

require a trip to the dealer.

■Check with the customer on status LED location.

■Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.

■Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.

after the installation

■Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.

■When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry (NPC). NPC can

bypass trigger zones, making them appear to stop working. See the Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry section.

■Review and complete the Safety Check section of this guide prior to the vehicle reassembly.

DRAFT

deciding on component locations

locations for the siren

Some things to remember about mounting the siren:

■Keep it away from heat sources, such as radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields.

■Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its

wires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.

■We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws. Instead, we recommend running both

the red and black wires into the passenger compartment and grounding to one common point for all devices.

After all, both wires are the same length and come already bonded together. Whenever possible, conceal your

wires in the factory harnesses or in the same style loom as the factory.

■When possible, place the siren on the same side of the vehicle as the control module, where its wires will

reach the control module’s wires without extending them. Always run the wires through the center of a

grommet, never through bare metal!

■Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.

locations for the control module

Some things to remember about where to mount the control module:

■Never put the control module in the engine compartment!

■The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side under-dash panel to access the starter

and ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can easily be discon-

nected.

■When mounting the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the har-

nesses’ wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and

any obvious leaks.

■Some good control module locations are: Above the glove box, inside the center console, above the under-

DRAFT

dash fuse box, or above the radio.

mounting the antenna

The antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle’s owner prior to installation, since the antenna may

be visible to the vehicle’s operator. The best location for the antenna is centered high on either the front or

rear windshield. For optimal range, the antenna should be mounted horizontally. It can be mounted vertically

but range will be diminished. Metallic window tint can also affect range, so this should be a consideration when

determining the mounting location.

After determining the best mounting location, follow these steps:

1. Clean the mounting area with a quality glass cleaner or alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.

3. Mount the antenna using the supplied double-sided tape.

4. Route the antenna cable to the control module and plug it into the antenna connector.

IMPORTANT! To achieve the best possible range, DO NOT leave the antenna cable bundled under the

dash. Always extend the cable full length during installation, regardless of the antenna mounting

location.

locations for stinger doubleguard shock sensor

Some things to remember about where to mount the shock sensor:

■Never put the Stinger®in the engine compartment!

■Find a spot close to the control module so that the wires do not need to be extended. Keep it away from the

heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.

How the Stinger®is mounted is the most important factor in its performance. We recommend two meth-

ods:

■Using double-sided tape or hook-and-loop fastener to mount to a trim panel or an air duct,

■Wire-tying to a wire harness.

If mounting the sensor where it cannot be easily reached for adjustment, hook-and-loop fastening tape (such as

Velcro) is recommended for ease of removal for future adjustments.

NOTE: In many vehicles, tying the sensor to a steering column or screwing it to metal will result in

poor sensitivity, especially at the rear of the vehicle.

DRAFT

locations for valet/program switch

IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where this switch is located and

how to disarm the system with it.

Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well

hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot

accidentally hit it. The switch fits into a 9/32-inch hole.

This system has Remote Valet. The user can enter and exit Valet Mode without having to reach the Valet/Program

switch. This feature was introduced so that switch location was less critical in day-to-day use. As long as the

Valet/Program switch can be reached to disarm without a transmitter, easy access is not important.

locations for the status LED

Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:

■It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.

■It needs at least 1/2-inch clearance to the rear.

■It is easiest to remove a small panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel, before drilling a 9/32-inch

hole.

■Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets mechanics or other installers

remove the panel without cutting the wires.

DRAFT

locations for the optional starter kill relay

If optional starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel, they

can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory wiring!

Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason, routing

the optional starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.

locations for the relay satellite

The relay satellite wiring carries large amounts of current. The wires should not be extended and should be cut

to the minimum length necessary. Since the relay satellite is functioning as the ignition switch in the vehicle, it

is often convenient to mount the relay satellite close to the main ignition switch harness.

finding the wires you need

Now that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to find the wires in the car that

the security system will be connected to.

IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light or logic probe (computer safe test light) to find these

wires! Use a digital multimeter for all testing.

obtaining constant 12V

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: the (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant supply to

the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. If the fuse also will be powering

other circuits such as door locks, fuse accordingly.

IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire. It ensures that the control module

has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main power

feed.
