Quick Reference

Valet Mode

When servicing or loaning your vehicle to others, the system should be placed in Valet Mode. Valet

Mode prevents the system from remote starting and disables all alarm functions. IMPORTANT: While in

Valet mode the remote will still control power lock and unlock systems. The parking lights will not flash.

The system can be put into valet one of three ways:

1. While holding the foot brake, cycle the key to the Ignition or ‘On’ position and then back to

the ‘Off’ position 5 times within 10 seconds. The parking lights will flash once indicating that

the system has entered Valet Mode.

2. Turn the vehicle’s key to the ignition “on” position, tap the tap the Lock and Trunk butons for a half

second. The parking lights will flash once to confirm valet mode. Repeat this process to exit valet mode.

The parking lights will flash twice confirming valet mode is disabled.

3. Turn the key to the Ignition or ‘On’ position then using a 4 button remote press and release the lock

and trunk buttons together simultaneously for a half second. The vehicle parking lights will flash 1 time to

indicate the system has successfully entered valet mode.

Remote Maintenance

When the battery on your 2 Way remote is low, you will no longer receive 2 Way confirmation in

areas you usually do. Your remote will only send commands to your vehicle. The LED’s on your

2 Way remote will also fade after transmission. The only regular maintenance this system requires is

remote control battery replacement. No programming is required when replacing the battery. If you need

assistance, we recommend contacting your place of purchase.

Two Way Remotes:

Use a quarter or flat head screwdriver to pry open the remote. You can insert the quarter or flat head

screwdriver in the small slot at the bottom of the remote by the keychain loop. Carefully pry off the back

cover without damaging the circuit board. Your battery size should be listed on the sticker on the remote.

(Battery size: 2 x CR2025) IMPORTANT: Be sure to observe correct polarity when installing the battery.

One Way Remotes:

Use a quarter or flat head screwdriver to pry open the remote. You can insert the quarter or flat head

screwdriver in the small slot at the bottom of the remote by the keychain loop. Carefully pry off the back

cover using caution that you do not damage the circuit board. Your battery size should be listed on the

sticker on the remote. Battery size: 2 x CR2025) IMPORTANT: Be sure to observe correct polarity when

installing the battery.

General Features

The remote transmitter functions are predetermined and programmed from the factory. The four button

configuration allows for many functions to be performed through a series of tapping and/or holding

buttons.

Sending Commands

When in range and a command has been sent, the remote will receive a page back and LED

confirmation. For example, to send a remote start command from the 2 Way remote, hold down the

button for 2.5 seconds. The remote will beep once to confirm the command has been sent and that the

remote is in range. Once the vehicle has successfully remote started, the remote will receive a

confirmation indicating the vehicle is running.

Receiving Commands

The remote pager will receive confirmation of sent commands and remote start notifications. For

example, after sending the lock command, the 2 Way remote will chirp and LED’s flash, confirming that

the vehicle has been successfully locked/armed. To see if your 2 Way remote is in range, hold the

buttons for 2.5 seconds – if the remote receives an audible and visual confirmation, it is

in range. IMPORTANT: 2 Way LED G15 FMX remotes do not receive page back alerts if an alarm is

triggered only while your vehicle is remote started.

Active Lock/Arm and Unlock/Disarm

Tap button for a half second to lock/arm. The LED will flash on your remote. If your vehicle is

locked, tap button to unlock; if your vehicle is unlocked, tap button to lock.

IMPORTANT: If the alarm has been triggered (Horn is going off), you must wait up to 5 seconds before

disarming the alarm – the first button tap will shut off the alarm and the second will unlock/disarm the

system.

IMPORTANT: If your alarm has been triggered (Siren is sounding, parking lights flashing, and/or

horn honking), you must wait until your 2 Way LCD remote has been paged before disarming. The

first unlock button tap will shut off the alarm. The second will unlock/disarm the system.

Passive Lock/Arm

The system can be configured to passively lock and arm the vehicle. Put the system in passive

by tapping buttons simultaneously for a half second. The remote will beep once and

the LED’s will illuminate to indicate the system is in passive lock and arming mode. Repeat this

procedure to turn Passive Mode off.

While in passive mode, the system will lock and arm the alarm 30 seconds after the last door is closed.

As an indicator that the vehicle is going to passively lock and arm, the remote and siren will chirp once

and the parking lights will flash once at both 10 and 20 seconds prior to passively locking and arming. If

you want the system to passively arm and not passively lock, ask your local Firstech dealer

Automatic Transmission Remote Start Function

Hold the Key/Start button for 2.5 seconds to remote start an automatic transmission

vehicle. If you are in range and vehicle is ready to start, the remote will beep once and the

backlight will light up indicating that the remote start command has been successfully

transmitted.

If you are in range and the remote beeps three times, there is a remote start error. Refer to the “remote

start error diagnostic” on the last page of this manual for details.

Upon remote start confirmation, the LED’s will begin flashing to show the amount of run time remaining.

The remote start run time can be programmed for 3, 15, 25, or 45 minutes – ask your local authorized

dealer to adjust your remote start run time.

IMPORTANT: Your vehicle’s key must be inserted into the ignition and turned to the “on” position prior

to driving your vehicle. If the foot brake is pressed prior to turning the key to the “on” position, the vehicle

will shut off.

Manual Transmission Remote Start Function (Reservation Mode)

In order to remote start a manual transmission vehicle, the system must first be set in Reservation Mode.

Reservation Mode must be set each and every time you want to remote start a manual transmission

vehicle. The purpose of Reservation Mode is to leave the transmission in neutral before exiting the

vehicle.

IMPORANT:

•The FT-DAS must be installed and working properly.

•The transmission must be left in the neutral position.

•The vehicle’s windows must be rolled up.

•The vehicle’s door pins must be in working order.

•Do not install this remote start on a manual transmission vehicle that has a convertible or

removable top.

•Do not set reservation mode or remote start with people in the vehicle.

Activating Reservation Mode

STEP 1: While the vehicle is running, place the transmission in neutral, set the emergency / parking

brake, and remove pressure from the foot brake.

STEP 2: Remove the key from the vehicle’s ignition. The vehicle’s engine should remain running even

after the key has been removed. If the vehicle does not remain running, visit your local authorized

Firstech dealer for service.

STEP 3: Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s doors will lock/arm and then engine will shut

down. If the vehicle’s engine does not shut off, your door trigger may not be functioning properly.

Discontinue use of the remote start feature and take your vehicle to a local authorized Firstech dealer for

service.

When the vehicle shuts off, your system is in reservation mode and is ready to safely remote start.

IMPORTANT: By default, the system will lock/arm the vehicle upon setting reservation mode. Take care

to not lock your keys inside the vehicle.

Cancelling Reservation Mode

Reservation mode will be cancelled for the following reasons;

•The FT-DAS is not installed and/or configured correctly.

•You did not activate the parking brake prior to turning off the ignition.

•You pressed the foot brake after the key was removed from the ignition.

•You released the parking brake after the key was removed from the ignition.

•You entered valet mode, opened the vehicle’s door, hood, trunk or set off the alarm.

Reservation Mode Settings

Reservation mode settings can be programmed by your authorized dealer.

Option 1: Locks doors before Reservation Mode is set.

Option 2: Hold Key/Start button to initiate Reservation Mode.

Option 3:Reservation mode sets 10 seconds after the last door is closed, as opposed to immediately.

This option will allow you to access the vehicle’s rear doors, trunk or hatch prior to the system setting

reservation and passively locking/arming.

Option 4:Locks doors after Reservation Mode is set.

Trunk Release

Hold button for 2.5 seconds to release the trunk or hatch. If you are in range, the remote will beep

twice and the LED’s will flash, indicating that the trunk release command has been successfully

transmitted.

IMPORTANT: Trunk release is an optional vehicle feature that may require additional parts and labor.

Auxiliary Outputs/Window Roll-Down/Sliding Doors

Your system is equipped with two additional outputs that can be configured to control windows, open

power sliding doors, open a power sliding moon roof, or even turn on a rear defroster. These outputs can

be configured for pulsed, timed or latched settings. Your authorized dealer can set these outputs up

accordingly. Using auxiliary outputs to control additional vehicle functions will require additional parts and

can be rather labor extensive.

Tap button for a half second to trigger auxiliary output 1. Tap button for a half

second to trigger auxiliary output 2. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once and/or siren chirp

once indicating that the auxiliary outputs have been triggered.

By default, the system is in Secure Auxiliary Mode, which requires you to hold buttons

for 2.5 seconds prior to triggering auxiliary 1 or 2. To turn off secure auxiliary, please contact your

authorized Firstech dealer.

Silent Arm/Disarm

Upon lock/arm and unlock/disarm, you can eliminate vehicle’s audible confirmation by muting the

siren. Normally, the siren will chirp once to indicate the system is locked/armed and twice to

indicate the system is unlocked/disarmed. To mute the siren, tap the Lock and Unlock

buttons simultaneously for a half second. IMPORTANT: Your system must be programmed by your

installer before this is available. Even when the siren is muted, it will still sound if the alarm is triggered.

Shock Sensor On/Off

Hold the Lock and Trunk buttons simultaneously for 2.5 seconds to turn the shock

sensor on and off. The remote will beep twice to confirm the shock sensor is off. The remote will

beep once to confirm the shock sensor is on. IMPORTANT: Turning off the shock sensor also

turns off any optional sensors.

FT-DAS

STEP 1: Turn the ignition to the ‘on’ position.

STEP 2: 2 Way remotes-hold buttons 1 and 2 (Lock and Unlock) for 2.5 seconds. You will get two

parking light flashes. 1 Way remotes-hold Lock and Unlock for 2.5 seconds. You will get two parking light

flashes.

STEP 3: To set the Warn Away Zone 1, tap button 1. (1 Way: Lock) After you get one parking light flash,

tap the vehicle. You will get siren chirps 1-most sensitive through 10-least sensitive. This sets the impact

sensitivity of Warn Away Zone 1. Setting Zone 1 will automatically set Zone 2. If you would

like to manually set Zone 2 proceed:

To set Instant Trigger Zone 2, tap button 2. (1 Way: Unlock) After you get two parking light flashes, tap

the vehicle. You will get siren chirps 1-lowest through 10-highest. This sets the impact sensitivity of

Instant Trigger Zone 2.

STEP 4: Once you get two parking light flashes, you are ready to test your DAS.

FT-Shock

Adjusting the shock sensor sensitivity is done at the actual sensor, which is generally mounted

somewhere under the vehicle’s dashboard. The higher the number on the dial means greater sensitivity

to impact. The recommended dial setting for most vehicles is somewhere between 2 and 4. If you are

testing your sensor, please note that the shock sensor does not recognize impact for 30 seconds after

the system has been armed.

Advanced Features

The following section reviews advanced system functions. Many of these functions require multiple steps

or additional programming by your local authorized dealer.

Antenna LED (ANT-2WFMX and ANT-1WFMX)

The FMX antennas come with a blue LED built in on the rear. This LED flashes when your vehicle is

locked/armed. There is also a green/red LED on the front of your antenna. This green/red LED is used to

program remotes and to turn the flashing blue LED on and off. You can turn the flashing LED on or off

using the following procedure:
