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-420 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. 2

The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this system allows routing from below the dashboard for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the antenna toward a rear window location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape provided. After securing the antenna with tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to a fixed support. This will prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to extreme heat, which may loosen its gummed surface. Route the 3 pin connector toward the control module using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control module. 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.

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. 4 Blue/Black Active Output ORANGE PINK RED/VT RED VIOLET PINK/WHITE

Any time the Grey w/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 pressedand 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 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. 5 RED
