and assembled to rigid quality standards, using state of the art components. Please read the
operation instructions to insure you enjoy the maximum benefits available.
2
Depress the remote start button on the transmitter for approximately (2) seconds and release.
The system will activate and go thru a safety check before starting the vehicle’s engine.
This system duplicates operation of the vehicles ignition switch without using keys or unlocking
the steering wheel.
During cranking, the system activates the ignition and starter circuits and counts the RPM’s.
Upon proper RPM’s, the starter is released immediately and the engine is running on remote
control. Once the engine is running, additional circuits to the fuse panel will activate, to turn on
your preset climate controls.
The engine will run for approximately 12 minutes to pre-warm the engine and to pre-warm or
pre-cool the interior. If desired the engine can also be programmed to run for 6 or 24 minutes.
If the engine refuses to start, the vehicle starter will turn off to prevent excessive battery drain.
If the engine starts and then stalls, the system will automatically restart the engine.
To operate the vehicle before the normal run time expires, just enter the vehicle as usual, insert
the ignition key (to unlock the steering column) and drive off. Upon the first application of the
brake pedal, the vehicle starter turns off.
Note: If the brake pedal is depressed before the ignition key is turned on, the system will turn
off. Simply restart the engine with the ignition key and drive off.
If desired, the system may be turned off by depressing the transmitter button again.
Some up-scale vehicles have a timed retained accessory power circuit. The “RAP” circuit allows
most of the vehicle’s accessories (radio, power windows and roof, etc.) to operate after the
ignition key is turned off. The RAP circuit usually lasts for 10 minutes or until a door is opened,
therefore, when the vehicle starter turns off, the radio will continue to play on GM vehicle’s (if
turned on) for 10 minutes or until a door is opened.
Information Note: If the vehicle has time delayed headlights, the lights will turn off after the
delay.
CS102RS Only (Options)
Depress the door lock/unlock button (button #1) on the transmitter to remotely lock and unlock
the factory power door locks.
Depress both buttons on the transmitter to activate an optional accessory (trunk release, power
windows, etc.). This is the 3rd transmitter channel.
Operation
Safety Features
To prevent bodily harm, vehicle damage, or attempted theft, the vehicle starter will turn off if:
Fuse is removed, hood is raised, brake pedal is depressed, engine refused to start.
Upon expiration of the warm up time or, optional on/off switch is off.
Warnings!
1.
This unit is designed for fuel injected gasoline or diesel vehicles with an automatic transmission
only.
2. Never install this unit on a vehicle with a manual transmission.
3. Always apply the emergency brake and lock the vehicle as you exit.
4. Keep transmitter[s] out of children’s reach.
5. This system does not violate national highway safety standards, however some areas may have
local ordinances that prohibit leaving a vehicle unattended on public streets.
6. Do not leave anyone in the vehicle while running on remote control.

11. Do not install the ECM (control module) under the hood or any place that water could enter
the ECM.
1. On vehicles equipped with SRS air bag restraint, Do Not Probe Any Wires of the Restraint
System as this could cause the air bag to inflate. The wires are usually identified with a label.
2. Do not install this system on 1988+ Jaguar XJ6 or any vehicle that switches low voltage
through the ignition switch.
3. Use a voltmeter to verify wire functions and that the ignition switch is switching [+] 12 volts
while rotating the ignition switch.
4. We have made every effort to list proper vehicle wire colors, use the color codes as a guide
only. It is the installers responsibility to insure the correct vehicle starter wires are connected to
the correct vehicle wires.
5. Do not install components near the steering linkage, gas or brake pedal.
6. For best connection, we recommend soldering.
7. Using a connector that’s to big will result in a faulty connection and a dissatisfied customer.

Ignition Switch Operation and Location
A typical ignition switch has heavier gauge wires for B+, Ignition,
Starter, and Accessory circuits.
When the ignition key is turned to start, power is applied only to
the starter and ignition wires.
When the key is released, the ignition wire remains hot and the
accessory wire(s) will then go hot.
Installation and Wire Connection Warnings!
This system taps onto the same wires the ignition switch is connected to.
Ford and import vehicle’s (except Ford 150 Vans), the ignition switch is inside the steering
column at the lock cylinder.
On GM and most other vehicles including Ford 150 vans, the ignition switch is under the dash
on the top side of steering column, about 2ft. from the fire wall (a rod on top side of steering
column connects the key lock cylinder to the ignition switch.)
Remove trim as necessary and physically locate the vehicles ignition switch and wiring.
Wire Colors, Function and Installation

White 2-Pin Connector:
Gray Wire:
(Tachometer Input)
The under hood gray wire
sends coil (-) pulses to the
ECM. This information is
used to release starter at
the correct RPM. Connect
to vehicle’s coil (-) wire.
Be sure to review tachometer programming instructions on wiring chart.
Note: The under hood gray wire is diode and resistor protected, no damage to the vehicle or
the vehicle starter will occur even if it’s connected to +12 volts or to a ground wire.
Warning: Do not probe the vehicle’s coil (-) wire with a test light or allow it to become
grounded, as damage to the vehicle’s electronic ignition may occur.
Tips on Determining the (-) Side of the Coil:
The coil (-) output negative pulses while engine is running, not a continuous ground.
The coil (-) wire is the same as a tachometer terminal and usually runs to a coil igniter.
Some vehicles have a diagnostic service plug[Pigtail] that allows for an easy connection
The coil (-) will be a different color than the ignition wire and the smallest size wire of the coil.
Some vehicles have multi coils. These vehicles have (2-3) coil (-) wires to choose from
On vehicles equipped with SRS air bag restraint, Do Not Probe Any Wires of the restraint

The Remote Starter will not activate until tach programming is performed.
Note: Jumper #1 must be removed after programming is done.
Jumper #1 Used to program tach signals
1. Connect gray wire, from the 2-pin white
connector, to vehicle’s coil (-) wire.
2. Start the vehicle with the ignition key.
3. The parking lights should come on
to indicate the tach wire installation
is correct.
4. Remove jumper #1.
If the parking lights did not come on:
1. Remove and reinstall the jumper #1.
This puts the system in the tach learning mode.
2. Wait for the engine to return to a slow idle.
3. Depress the program switch to learn the vehicle’s RPM’s.
4. The parking lights should flash twice to indicate the RPM's were learned.
5. Remove jumper #1.
Jumper #2: Selects Diesel engine glow plug delay.
1. Install jumper #2 for diesel engines only.
2.Leave this jumper in for diesel engines. This jumper programs the starter to activate the
ignition for 23 seconds before cranking. This gives ample time for the glow plugs to warm up.
White Wire with Red Stripe: (2-Pin White Connector)
This system can detect current to determine when the engine starts.
Note 1: The white wire with red stripe is normally only used on diesel engines.
Note 2: When using the white wire with red stripe, Remove Jumper #1 and Do Not Use the
Gray Tach Wire.
If white wire with red stripe is used
follow the instructions below:
1. Connect our white wire with red
stripe to the vehicle’s battery (+)
terminal only.
2. Turn on the ignition key and also
turn on heater blower motor.
3. If the LED on end of remote
starter module is flashing, turn the
variable resistor pot Counterclockwise until it stops flashing. (Less sensitive)
4. Start the engine with the ignition key.
5. The LED should be flashing to indicate the current sensing is working.
6. If the LED is not flashing. Slowly turn the variable resistor pot Clockwise until the LED

Programming Remote Starter Module
Selecting the Run Time
The run time selector switch determines
how long the vehicle will run during a
remote start. The factory preset the run
time at 12 minutes center position on
the switch. The remote starter can also
be programmed to run 6 minutes (left
switch position) or 24 minutes (right
switch position).
4/24 Hour Automatic Activation Selector Switch (CS101RS Only)
This is a special feature for customers that need to start their vehicle’s at selected intervals.
Such as extreme cold weather. In the event you do not have a need for this feature, The switch
can easily be removed or not installed during installation.
Selector Switch Operation:
Note: The vehicle will run for 6 minutes on each 4 or 24 hour automatic start, even if the run
time selector switch is set in the 12 or 24 minutes run time position.
Programming for 4 Hour Automatic Starting Intervals:
1. Set selector switch to 4 hour mode
2. Depress the transmitter to activate the remote starter.
The remote starter has now learned data and will start
the vehicle every 4 hours.
3. Depress the brake pedal and exit the vehicle.
Programming for 24 Hour Automatic Starting Intervals:
1. Set selector switch to 24 hour mode
2. Depress the transmitter to activate the remote starter.
The remote starter has now learned data and will start
the vehicle every 24 hours.
3. Depress the brake pedal and exit the vehicle.
Programming for No Automatic Starting Intervals:
1. Set selector switch to center position (off). This will
cancel all future automatic 4 or 24 hour starting times.
Note: Once you have set up the remote starter to automatically start, and later operate the
vehicle, all future automatic 4/24 hour starting will be canceled. If you want to have automatic
starting when you reach your destination, you will need to depress the remote starter button
again to reset the data and depress the brake pedal. Same as before.
Warning! It is imperative that you remember to turn off the 4/24 selector switch when
automatic 4/24 hour starting is not required. If you forget and leave this switch in a 4 or 24

Remote Programmable 4 Hour Automatic Start: (CS102RS Only)
This is a special feature for customers that want their vehicle to start every 4 hours. Such as
extreme cold weather. This is a remote control feature on the CS102RS.
Note: The CS101RS uses a manual selector switch.
Operation:
Continuously depress button #1 on the transmitter for more than two seconds. The parking
lights will flash 3 times. The 4 hour timer is now activated. The remote starter will start the
vehicle every 4 hours until you drive the vehicle.

Do Not connect the shock sensor directly to alarm. It must be interrupted.
Most security systems have a shock type sensor that trips the alarm if the vehicle becomes
violated. The sensors output wire must be interrupted to prevent a false alarm while running on
remote control. To interrupt the sensors output wire follow the directions below:
1. Butt connect the trigger (trip) wire of the shock sensor to the White Wire with Purple Stripe of
optional relay module (CS-RL2).
2. Butt connect the alarm’s instant trip wire to the White Wire with Green Stripe of optional
relay module (CS-RL2).
Note: These connections prevent false triggering of the alarm while running on remote control,
they also interrupt the shock sensor while running on remote control only and finally allows
normal operation as intended by the alarm manufacturer at all other times

Do Not connect the alarm’s ignition wire to the vehicle’s ignition wire. It must be interrupted.
Most remote security systems have an ignition wire that prevents remote alarm operation if the ignition is
on. Some alarms will trip if the ignition is activated, when armed. To interrupt the alarm’s ignition
wire follow the instructions below:
1. Connect the alarm’s ignition wire to the purple wire of relay module (CS-RL2).
2. Connect the green of relay module (CS-RL2) to vehicle’s ignition wire.
Operation: When the ignition switch is turned on, the ignition signal passes thru the relay module
to the alarm. Anytime the remote starter is activated, the ignition signal will be turned off.
Note:
These connections interrupt the ignition signal to the alarm while running on remote control
only. Allows normal operation as intended by the alarm manufacturer at all other times.

Interfacing with GM VATS - Pass Key System
Several GM vehicle’s have a VATS-Pass Key system to prevent the vehicle from being started
unless the ignition key pellet matches the decoder. Therefore certain connections must be made
to allow remote starting.
Note 1: If the ignition key does not have a pellet, the vehicle does not have the VATS-Pass Key
system. Skip this section.
GM models with VATS-Pass Key system:
1986-96: Corvette
1989-96: Allante, Eldorado, Seville, Deville, Firebird, Camaro and other GM vehicles with
pellet in ignition key
Note 2: If the VATS-Pass Key system is tripped, the vehicle will not start for (4) minutes, even with
the ignition key.
VATS-Pass Key Interfacing
Note: To avoid confusion, Do Not make any connections to the VATS-Pass Key wiring until the remote
starter is installed. To allow temporary remote starting and testing before making any connections to
the VATS-Pass Key system, simply insert the ignition key fully into the ignition lock cylinder.
Follow the steps below to interface with the VATS-Pass Key System:
1. Using an ohm’s meter, set the meter to R X 1 K.
2. Connect on test probe to each side of the ignition key pellet and read the value. Do Not
probe with finger.
3. Remove test probes from ignition key and record the reading.
4. Remove fuse #1 of our optional CS-RL2 relay module.
5. Install the matching value resistor fuse into the relay module. (Use ohm’s meter to verify the
value, if necessary)
