This Remote Start System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The system provides a selectable ignition control that allows a 10 second output for glow plug preheat which may be required for certain diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #8). If the diesel engine has a instant fire, (no glow plug preheat system), feature #8 should remain in the default Gasoline mode setting.

INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS

Control Module:

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (behind the dashboard). The mounting location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6-pin harness. Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with the proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen location using cable ties or screws as necessary. Do not mount the module in the engine compartment, as it is not waterproof.

Hood Pin Switch:

The pin switch included in this package is required for the safety shut down of the Remote Start system. If the vehicle is being serviced, this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the transmitter is operated. This switch MUST be installed in all applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage. Mount the switch in an area under the hood that is away from water drain paths. If necessary, the included brackets may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In either case the switch must be set to allow the hood door to depress the switch at least 1/4" when the hood is closed and fully extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4" hole must be drilled. Carefully check behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin switch in the threaded mounting bracket hole.

PROGRAM SWITCH / SAFETY (Red Handled ) CONTROL SWITCH:

Select a mounting location that is within reach of the ignition switch, as this switch, in combination with the ignition switch and brake, will be used to program the certain features of the system. It is suggested that the switch be mounted to the lower dash panel in the driver's area. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by passing it through the panel from the underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer, and ON/OFF face plate. It is best to install the switch to allow the ON position to be up toward the driver and the OFF position to be down or away from the driver. Route the switch wires toward the control module.

The CA-410 is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and property damage.

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN OR THE MULTI PIN HARNESS INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL

CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS

DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO

MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.

WIRING THE 6 PIN HARNESS:

RED w/ VIOLET: +12 volts

Connect this wire to a +12 Volt constant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp fuse and holder provided. This wire provides power for the control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and ignition 2 relays.

RED: +12 Volts

Connect this wire to a +12 Volt constant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp fuse and holder provided, but NOT the same vehicle wire as used by the Red/Violet wire above. Most vehicles have more than one battery source supplying power to the ignition switch. Separate feed wires must be used for the Red and Red/Violet wires. If your vehicle does not have two battery feed wires at the ignition switch then it is possible to connect both wires to the vehicle's battery. This wire provides power for the start relay and the accessory relay.

IMPORTANT!

It is the responsibility of the installing technician to determine the load factor of the vehicles electrical circuits when the vehicle is running and to adequately fuse the two power wires based on that load.

VIOLET: Starter Output

This wire will have +12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 volts in all other ignition switch positions.

PINK: Ignition 1 Output

Connect this wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the to the ON, RUN and START positions, and will have 0 volts when the key is turned to the

OFF and ACCESSORY positions. For Diesel Applications, this wire must be connected to the ignition circuit that powers the glow plugs if the vehicle requires glow plug pre-heating. (See selectable feature #8)

PINK w/ WHITE: Ignition 2 Output

Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the ON or RUN position and is some cases the START position. This wire will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the OFF and ACCESSORY positions.

NOTE: See programming information concerning this wire to function as a ACCESSORY wire.

ORANGE: Accessory Output

Connect this wire to the Accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the ACCESSORY, ON and RUN positions, and will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the

OFF and START positions.

WIRING THE 12 PIN HARNESS:

BLACK: Chassis Ground Source

Connect the Black wire to a known vehicle ground source or to a solid clean metal part of the chassis. Be certain to remove any paint or grease and secure this wire with a self taping screw and ring terminal.

BLACK w/WHITE: Saftey (Red Handled ) Control Switch

The Black w/ White tracer wire provides ON-OFF control of the Remote Starter. When the Black w/ White wire is switched to a full time ground, the CA -410 Remote Start Module is operative. When the Black w/ White wire is open, the remote starter is disabled. Connect the Black w/ White wire to one of the wires from the back of the previously mounted Safety (Red Handled) control switch. Connect the remaining wire of the control switch to chassis ground. Always try to mount the switch so that the ON position is in an upward or toward the driver direction.

GREY: Hood Pin Input (-)

Connect the GREY wire to the hood pin switch provided. This wire will be routed through the firewall into the engine compartment. It is necessary to use an existing grommet when passing wires through the firewall to prevent short circuiting. This is an important safety feature of CA-410, and failure to use this feature can result in serious injury. Route the wire to the pin switch and connect it using the bullet connector provided.

GREY w/ BLACK: Negative Shutdown Input 2

Any time the Gray/Black wire is grounded, the Remote Start system will stop operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches ground to the brake light circuit, connect the Grey w/ Black wire to the output of the brake light switch. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches +12 Volts, do not use the Grey w/ Black wire; see Brown w/ Red wire.

BROWN Wire: PositiveShutdown Input 1

Any time +12 Volts is applied to the Brown wire, the Remote Start system will stop operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter.If the vehicle has a factory installed hood pin switch, and that switch provides

+12 Volts to a light under the hood, the Brown wire can be connected to the existing pin switch.

BROWN w/ RED Wire: Positive Brake Input

Any time +12 Volts is applied to the Brown w/ Red wire, the Remote Starter system will stop operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches +12 Volts to the brake light circuit, connect the Brown w/ Red wire to the output of the brake light switch. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches ground, do not use the Brown w/ Red wire; see Grey w/ Black wire.

Note: The Brown/Red wire is used for programming, if the brake switch in the vehicle switches ground, a normally open push-button switch must be added. During the program sequence, when the brake pedal is pressed and released, this switch will be used in it's place. If the installation of this switch is necessary, connect one end of the normally open push button switch to the Brown/Red wire, and connect the other end of the switch to a fused +12 volt source.

Brake Switch Positive Shutdown Detail

RED

YELLOW w/ BLACK: + 12 Volt Alarm By - Pass Output

This wire provides a 500mA +12 Volt transistorized output when the ignition key is turned to the ON position, and 0 Volts when the ignition key is OFF and when the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start.

This wire should be connected to the ignition input of the alarm system. The Yellow w/ Black wire output will allow you to remote start the vehicle while leaving the alarm armed, and to lock/unlock the doors while running under control of the Remote Start system.

(2) WHITE Wires: Parking Light Output

These wires are the COMMON and NORMALLY OPEN contacts of the on-board parking light relay. If the vehicle's parking lights are a +12 volt switched system, connect (1) of the White wires to a fused (15A max.)

+12 volt battery source, and connect the second White wire to the vehicle's parking light wire. If the vehicle's parking lights are a chassis ground switched system, connect (1) of the White wires to a chassis ground source, and connect the second White wire to the vehicle's parking light wire.

Module

BLUE w/BLACK: Active output - Ignition 3 / Shock Disable Output

This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start system initializes, and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start system turns off. In all of the applications described below, a relay will be required. The Blue/Black wire can be used to accommodate the following situations:

1. Shock Sensor Bypass:

If there is Shock Sensor used with an alarm system and it is not shunted during the Remote Start activation period, then vibration from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger. In this case, connect the Blue/

Black Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay. Connect terminal# 85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source. Cut the shock sensor trigger wire and connect one end of the cut wire to terminal #30 and the other end of the cut wire to terminal #87a. Just before the Remote Start system is activated, the relay contacts will open, preventing the shock sensor's operation until the Remote Start system shuts off.

2. Ignition 3 Output:

Some newer vehicles use a third ignition wire which is required to start and keep the vehicle's engine running.

If this is the case, connect the Blue/Black wire to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect terminal # 30 & # 85 to a fused + 12 volt battery source rated for a minimum of 25 Amp. Connect terminal # 87 to the third ignition wire in the vehicle.

3. Transponder Key Override:

To bypass the system while the vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start system. Connect the

Blue/Black wire to the NEG trigger input of the accessory bypass.

BLACK/GRAY: Diesel Wait To Start

For Diesel glow plug preheat circuits, this Wait To Start input will allow the ignition to keep the glow plugs active for the vehicles automatic time out period before cranking the starter motor. If the BLK/GRY is connected to the glow plug wire, this will take precedence over the timing setting and the Gas/Diesel programming in the feature programming chart. Use this wire if you do not want to set the timing of the glow plug preheat circuit as shown in the feature programming chart.

VIOLET/WHITE: Tach Sensor Input

This wire will continually monitor the engine tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start system.

This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. This Remote Start system learns the tach rate of the vehicle and in most cases will operate properly from one multi coil pack regardless of the number of cylinders. If the vehicle has a single coil system for each cylinder, it may be necessary to connect this wire to more than one coil for proper tach reference.

WIRING THE 4 PIN HARNESS:

This harness provides low current outputs to control various functions in the vehicle during different stages of the Remote Start system's operation. Understanding these outputs and the time in which they occur will allow you to determine if they are needed for the particular vehicle you are working on, as well as how to use them.

Green w/Black: Pulsed Ground Output Before Start

The Green w/Black wire will provide a 1 second 300mA pulsed ground output 1.5 second before the Remote

Start system activates as well as when the transmitter is used to unlock/disarm the system. Typical use for this output would be to disarm a factory theft deterrent system to prevent false triggering of the factory alarm when the Remote Start system engages.

Blue: Pulsed Ground Output After Start

The Blue wire will provide a 1 second 300ma pulsed ground output after the vehicle is started under control of the remote start system. Typically this wire will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically when the factory anti-theft system is disarmed.

Black w/ Red: Pulsed Ground Output After Shutdown

The Black w/ Red wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output after the remote start unit shuts down. This output will occur regardless of whether the circuit times out or is manually terminated. Typically this output will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically when the ignition circuit transitions to OFF.

Black w/ Yellow: Ground Output During Start (Crank)

The Black w/ Yellow wire will provide a 300mA ground output while the starter output of the Remote Start system is active. This output can be used to activate the Bulb Test wire found in some GM vehicles.

WIRING THE 4 PIN HARNESS:

The Green, Blue and Lt. Green wires when properly connected and sequentially operated, LOCK, UNLOCK,

LOCK, trigger the Remote Start system. While the vehicle is operating under command of the Remote Start system, if the LOCK, UNLOCK, LOCK buttons are sequentially activated the Remote Start will shut down.

Because these wires learn the polarity of the vehicles door lock system, it is necessary, that the GREEN, BLUE and Lt. GREEN wires be connected before connecting the 6-pin and 12-pin connectors to the control system.

NOTE: If you are not upgrading a factory keyless entry system and these wires are not used, all three wires MUST BE connected to chassis ground.

TO OPERATE THIS UNIT DIRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY KEYLESS CONNECT AS FOLLOWS:

1. GREEN Wire: Connect the Green wire of the 4 pin connector to the driver's door unlock motor wire.

2. BLUE Wire: Connect the Blue wire of the 4 pin connector to the driver's door lock motor wire.

3. LT.GRN Wire: Connect the Lt. Green wire of the 4 pin connector to the unlock wire of the door switch.

4. Connect the 12 pin and 6-pin connectors.

WHITE w/BLUE: (-) Start Trigger Input

When this wire receives a pulse ground, the Remote Start system will activate. (When upgrading a factory keyless entry system, do not use this wire).

The intention of the manual shut down / enable circuit is to allow the vehicle operator to prevent operation of the Remote Start system regardless of the transmitter operation.To test the integrity of the manual shut down / enable circuit:

1.

Place the control switch in the ON (Closed To Ground) position.

2.

Start the vehicle using the transmitter.

3.

The vehicle should start and run under the control of the Remote Start system.

4.

Move the switch to the OFF (Open From Ground) position, the vehicle should shut off.

If the unit fails this test, recheck your switch connection to the Ground and the Black/White wire of the

Remote Start system.

DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE

OPERATION OF THE MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE FEATURE.

NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST:

The intent of the neutral start switch is to prevent the vehicle from starting while the gear selector is in any position other than Park, or Neutral. When installing a Remote Start system, it is imperative that the Violet

Starter wire be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral safety switch. To test the integrity of the

Neutral Safety Circuit:

1.

Set the vehicle parking brake.

2.

Block the drive wheels to prevent vehicle movement.

3.

Temporarily disconnect the Brown/Red positive shut down wire from the vehicle's brake switch.
