multiple built-in safety features, it must not be installed into vehicles with manual transmissions. Doing this can cause serious personal injury and property damage. IMPORTANT ! DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE 12 PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS INTO THE REMOTE START CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS! WIRING CONNECTIONS: 6 Pin Main Power Harness RED w/ WHITE Tracer Wire : + 12 VDC Battery 1 Source Connect this wire to a +12 VDC constant source found at the vehicles ignition switch using the 30 A fuse provided. The Battery 1 source provides +12 volts to the PRO-9171FT module for Ignition 1 output, Ignition 2 output, and the circuits logic. RED Wire : + 12 VDC Battery 2 Source Connect this wire to a + 12 VDC constant source found at the vehicles ignition switch but NOT the same wire as the battery 1 source. Most vehicles have multiple +12 VDC battery feeds found at the vehicles ignition switch. Separate feed wires must be used for the red and red w/white wires. If your vehicle does not provide at least two +12 VDC feed wires, then it is possible to connect both wires to the vehicle battery. If connecting to the vehicle battery always fuse these wires at the source using the 30 A fuses provided. The Battery 2 source provides + 12 volts to the PRO-9171FT module for Starter output and Accessory output. YELLOW Wire : Starter Output Connect this wire to the starter wire from the ignition switch harness. This wire will show +12 Volts when the ignition key is turned to the “ START or CRANK “ position, and 0 Volts when the ignition key is in any other position. NOTE: If installing the PRO-9171FT with an alarm that utilizes a starter cut relay, make sure the Yellow wire is connected to the “ starter “ side of the relay contacts, and not the “ switch “ side. When installing the PRO- 9171FT into vehicles with a factory installed security system, connect the Yellow wire between the output of the starter cut relay and the neutral safety switch. BLUE Wire : Ignition 1 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch harness. This wire will show +12 Volts when the ignition key is turned to the “ RUN or ON “ and the “ START or CRANK “ positions, and 0 Volts when the key is turned to the “ OFF “ and “ ACCESSORY “ positions. m l n ll ll llllll l ll l m BATT 1 BATT 2 ACC IGN 1 IGN 2 IGN 3 START * IGNITION SWITCH KEY POSITION OFF ACCESSORY ON / RUN START n n n n n SEE"WIRINGTHE12PINCONNECTOR"- LT.BLUEWIREIFREQUIRED.

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 “ RUN or ON “ position, and in some cases, the “ START or CRANK “ position. This wire will show 0 Volts when the key is turned to the “ OFF “ and “ ACCESSORY “ positions. NOTE: The PRO-9171FT ignition 2 output can be programmed to remain ON while the starter is cranking. The factory default setting for ignition 2 is to show 0 volts while the starter is cranking. This output should be programmed at time of installation and should simulate the ignition 2 source in the vehicle when the ignition key is used to start. VIOLET Wire : Accessory Output Connect this wire to the accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 Volts when the ignition key is turned to the “ ACCESSORY “ and “ RUN or ON “ positions, and 0 Volts when the key is turned to the “ OFF “ and “ START or CRANK “ positions. WIRING CONNECTIONS: 12 Pin Input / Output Harness BLACK Wire: Chassis Ground Source Connect this wire to a solid, clean chassis ground source. BLACK w/WHITE Tracer Wire: 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 PRO-9171FT Remote Start Module is operative. When the Black w/ White wire is at open circuit through the control switch, the remote starter is disabled. Connect the Black w/ White tracer wire to one of the terminals from the back of the control switch. Connect the remaining terminal on the control switch to chassis ground. Always try to mount the switch so that the ON position is in an upward direction. GREY Wire: Negative Inhibit Input 1 Connect the GREY wire to the hood pin switch provided . This wire will be routed through the fire wall into the engine compartment. It is necessary to use an existing grommet when passing wires through the fire wall to prevent short circuiting. This is an important safety feature of PRO- 9171FT, and failure to use this feature can result in serious injury. In some cases, the bracket provided may be required to facilitate mounting of the hood pin switch. GREYw/BLACKTracerWire:NegativeInhibitInput2 Any time the grey w/ black tracer wire is grounded, the Remote Starter 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 trace 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/ Black tracer wire. BROWN Wire: Positive Inhibit Input 1 Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown wire, the Remote Starter 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 an under hood light, the Brown wire can be connected to the existing pin switch. BROWN w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: Positive Inhibit Input 2 Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown w/ Black tracer wire, the Remote Starter 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/ Black trace 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/ Black wire; see Grey w/ Black tracer wire. YELLOW w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: + 12 Volt Alarm By - Pass Output NOTE: YOU MUST DISCONNECT THE IGNITION INPUT OF THE ALARM FROM ANY OTHER WIRE THAT IT IS PRESENTLY CONNECTED TO IN THE VEHICLE. 3

Volts when the ignition key is “OFF” and when the vehicle is running under the control of the remote starter. 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. (2) WHITE Wires: Parking Light Flasher These wires are the COMMON and NORMALLY OPEN contacts of the on-board parking lamp 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. LIGHTBLUEWire:Ignition3/ShockDisableOutput This is a 500 mA transistorized ground output, and an external relay will be required in all cases that this output is needed. NOTE: This Light Blue wire is energized 3 seconds before the PRO- 9171FT starts the engine. This wire remains energized for 4 seconds after engine shut down. The Light Blue output serves the following functions. A. Shock Sensor Override: If the alarm is connected to a shock sensor, then the vibration caused by remote starting the vehicle may trigger the alarm. If this is the case, connect the Light blue wire to terminal 86 of an external relay. Connect terminal 85 of the relay to a fused + 12 Volt battery source. Cut the trigger wire from the shock sensor, and connect one side of the cut wire to terminal 30 of the relay. Connect the other side of the cut wire to terminal 87a of the relay. Just before the remote starter is activated, the relay contacts will open, and the shock sensor will not trigger the alarm. Four seconds after the remote start unit shut down the shock sensor will be operational. B. Ignition 3 Output: Some newer vehicles use a third ignition wire, which is necessary to keep the engine running. If this is the case, connect the Light Blue wire to terminal 86 of an external relay. Connect terminals 85 and 30 together to a + 12 Volt battery source that is fused for a minimum 25 A rating. Connect terminal 87 of the external relay to the third ignition wire in the vehicle. C. G.M. VATS Key Override: If the vehicle has the General Motors VATS system installed, you will need to by-pass the starter cut portion of the VATS system. To do this; 1. Measure the resistance of the ignition key, and get a resistor which value is within 5% of the key value. 2. Locate the pair of VATS wires in the vehicle, usually a pair of thin gauge wires running from the ignition switch to the VAT 1 Control Unit. NOTE: These wires are typically White w/ Black tracer and Violet w/ Yellow tracer, however in late model Cadillacs, they are run through an Orange sleeve, and are either both Black, both Yellow, or both White wires. Consult the factory service manual for additional information. 3. Connect the Light Blue wire from the Remote Starter to terminal 86 of an external relay. Connect terminal 85 of the relay to a fused + 12 Volt battery source. 4. Cut (1) of the VATS wires, and connect the ignition switch side of the cut wire to terminal 87a of the relay. Connect the other side of the cut wire to terminal 30 of the relay. 5. Connect the resistor from terminal 87 of the relay to the second VATS wire. l l l l l VATS WIRE #1 (CUT) TOWARDS VATS MODULE TO FUSED +12 VDC BATTERY SOURCE MATCHING RESISTOR VATS WIRE #1 (CUT) TOWARDS IGNITION SWITCH 87 87a 85 86 30 VATS WIRE #2 l LIGHTBLUEIGN.3WIREFROMREMOTESTARTMODULE

This wire will be routed through the fire wall into the engine compartment. It is necessary to use an existing grommet when passing wires through the fire wall to prevent short circuiting. Connect this wire to the existing tach wire, or the negative side of the ignition coil in the vehicle. (See RF Program Settings). Red and Green 2 Pin White Connector : Door Lock Outputs These wires will provide either a pulsed ground output to the factory door lock control relay, or a pulsed +12 volt output to the factory door lock control relay. In either case, the maximum current draw through these outputs must not exceed 300 mA. 3 Wire Ground Switched door locks In this application, the red wire provides a ground pulse or the pulsed ground lock output. Connect the red wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door switch to the factory door lock control relay. In this application, the green wire provides a pulse ground unlock output. Connect the green wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door switch to the factory door unlock control relay. 3 Wire Positive Switched Door Locks In this application, the red wire provides a pulsed +12 volt unlock output. Connect the red wire to the wire that provides a low current positive signal from the factory door switch to the factory door unlock control relay. The green wire provides a positive pulsed +12 volt lock output. Connect the green wire to the wire that provides a low current positive signal from the factory door switch to the factory door lock control relay. 4 Wire Polarity Reversal and 5 Wire Alternating 12 Volt Door Lock Control Circuits In these applications, the AS 9159 Door Lock Interface ( or equivalent 30 A automotive relays) must be used. Refer to the AUDIOVOX Door Lock Wiring Supplement for proper connection to these types of circuits. 2 Pin Blue Connector : Programming Switch Route the grey and black wires in the 2 pin connector from the programming switch to the control module and plug it into the mating blue connector on the side of the module. Blue and Green w/Black Trace Wires - 2 Pin White Connector : Accessory Outputs Dark Blue Wire : Delayed 300 mA Pulsed Output/Channel 2 The dark blue wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil. This output is activated by the same transmitter button that is used to activate the remote start function (factory default is button 2). Press and hold button 2 to activate this trunk release output, or press and release button 2 two times within 2 seconds to activate the remote starter. WARNING: Connecting the dark blue wire to the high current switched output of the trunk release circuits and some remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module. Connect the dark blue wire to terminal 86 of the AS-9256 relay (or equivalent 30 A automotive relay), connect terminal 85 to a fused +12 volt source and wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 2. Dark Green w/Black Trace Wire : Latching Output/Channel 3 The green w/black trace wire latches to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is a transistorized, low current (300 mA) output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil. This wire provides an immediate ground signal, and stays at ground for up to 8 seconds as long as the button(s) on the keychain transmitter remain pressed. WARNING ! Connecting the dark green w/black trace wire to any high current switched output (300 mA max.) will damage the control module. Connect the dark green w/black trace wire to terminal 86 of the AS-9256 relay (or equivalent 30 A automotive relay), connect terminal 85 to a fused +12 volt source and wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 3.
