Congratulations on your purchase of the AutoCommand®Remote Car Starter.

The AutoCommand®Remote Car Starter system allows you to start the car by

remote control from the comfort of your home or office in order to cool it down in

the summer or heat it up in the winter.

This model 25522 is an “add-on” unit and must be used in conjunction with

another remote control unit such as a remote car alarm or keyless entry sys-

tem.

AutoCommand®is for automatic transmission cars only. It is an extremely so-

phisticated system with multiple built-in safety and security features.

The AutoCommand®Remote Car Starter:

•Will start your car by remote control, and run the heater, defroster, or air

conditioner to warm up or cool down the car.

•Is designed to start the car if it is in park, and only if the hood is closed.

•Can monitor the engine’s speed using a special tachometer monitoring cir-

cuit.

•Will attempt to start the car for up to six seconds, but no longer (to avoid

damage to the starter motor). Should the car not start, or if it stalls after

starting, the AutoCommand®will make 2 further attempts to start it.

•Will not let the car be driven without the key in the ignition.

•Shuts itself off automatically after 10 or 15 minutes (user selectable) if you

forget to come out to your car.

•Will shut off if the brake pedal is pushed, the hood is opened, or the trans-

mission is shifted out of park - unless the key is in the ignition and in the

“run” position.

•Allows you to remove the key while leaving the car running with the doors

locked for up to 10 or 15 minutes utilizing the QUICK STOPTM option.

•Starts the car automatically should the temperature drop below 0°F (-18°C),

or if the battery voltage drops below 11 volts with the VACATION option.

•Is quality engineered and microprocessor controlled to provide many years

of reliable use.

!! WARNING !!

On cars with airbags, you may notice bright yellow tubes or harnesses under-

neath the steering column area. DO NOT tamper with these wires in any way,

so as to prevent personal injury and/or damage to the air bag system.

Battery gases are explosive. Do not smoke while working near the car’s bat-

tery.

!!CAUTION!!

When working the wires through the car’s firewall, be sure to protect them

from sharp metal edges and from hot surfaces on the engine.

Note: Some installers connect a battery charger to the vehicle’s battery dur-

ing installation. This is fine, but it must be removed before running the vehicle

under AutoCommand®control.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before You Start

Take the time to read through the whole installation manual.

Wire Harnesses: Before installation, always check that your wire

harness matches the list/drawing on page 4 of the manual.

IMPORTANT: After having read the entire manual, start the

installation by putting the yellow WARNING STICKER in the engine com-

partment. Choose a surface that is clean and readily visible when the hood is

open.

POWER & IGNITION WIRES

The AutoCommand®module will be installed under the dash once all wiring has

been completed. Do not mount the module at this time! You will need to check

the diagnostic light (LED) as the installation progresses. Locate (or drill) a

hole in the firewall to run the VIOLET (hood) and the GREEN (tach) wires of the

Control Harness and the PINK wire of the Power Harness through into the

engine compartment. The remaining short wires stay in the passenger area.

Leave about a foot of the wire harness under the dash for ease of working and

visual access to the diagnostic lights.

Note: Always connect the Black and Pink wires before connecting

any of the other wires.

2. Black Wire (14 AWG) Ground

Connect this BLACK wire to a very good, clean chassis ground in the driver’s

kick panel area. Use the small red ring terminal if needed. The metal bracing

around or beneath the dash board is not adequate.

3. Pink Wire (12 AWG) Power (+12V)

PlugthiswireontothespadeterminalmarkedPower. Runtheotherend

ofthis wire through the firewall of your vehicle and to the positive side

ofthevehicle’s battery terminal. Connect the ring terminal of the fuse

holderprovidedtothevehicle’spositivebatterypost. Join theremaining

endsof the power wire together by soldering them. Alternatively, you

maywish to use a Yellow butt terminal, but we recommend soldering.

4 Blue Wire (14 AWG) Ignition 1

Connect the LIGHT BLUE wire to the ignition 1 wire of your vehicle. This

wire will measure +12V on the test meter in the “run” and “start” position, and

is off (ground) in the “lock/off” and “accessory” positions).

5. Green (14 AWG) Ignition 2

Connect the GREEN wire to the second IGN2 wire of your vehicle. This is a

wire that is hot in the “run” and sometimes “start”.

6. White Wire (14 AWG) Accessory / Lights

Connect the WHITE wire to the accessory wire which is +12V in the “run” and

“accessory” position, but off (ground) in the “start” and “off” positions. This

wire will power the heater / air conditioner (in some cars).

This WHITE wire can also be used as the headlights wire if you do not need it

for the Accessory position -- or if you power the heater / air conditioner with

the GREEN IGN2 wire. Simply connect this WHITE wire to the low beam

connection of the headlights or to the parking lights. Do not use this wire for to

power both Accessory AND Headlights together unless you use 2 external re-

lays powered by this WHITE wire -- one for the headlights and the other for the

Accessories.

7. Yellow (14 AWG) Starter

Connect the YELLOW wire to the starter wire. This wire is hot in the “start”

position only.

Note: Nissan vehicles have two starter wires. Connect both starter wires to the

YELLOW wire.

8. Control Switch Plug-in Switch

Plug the Control Switch into the AutoCommand on the side next to the push

buttons and led light. Mount the switch using a 1/2” drill bit.

9. Violet Wire Hood Pin Switch Control Harness

The hood pin switch MUST be installed with the AutoCommand®. It pre-

vents operation of the AutoCommand® when the hood is open. Connect the

VIOLET wire to the hood pin switch using

the red connector.

Note: If you already have a hood pin

switch which is being used by a

car alarm system, you may share

the wiring -- but be sure to diode

isolate each wire going to the

hood pin switch with the bands

of diodes pointing towards the

pin switch as follows:

10. Orange Wire Brake Shut-off Control Harness

The ORANGE 18 gauge wire will disable the AutoCommand®when the brake

pedal is pressed down. This is an added anti-theft safety feature. This connec-

tion is usually made under or behind the brake pedal linkage at the switch.

Connect the ORANGE to the wire that receives +12 volt only when the brake

pedal is pressed down. Any +12 volt input on this wire will shut off the Auto-

Command®. In some cars, the ignition must be on to see the power at the brake

wire. This wire must be hooked up. This is a critical safety feature. This hook-

up is also required for other options discussed later.

11. Initializing the AutoCommand®

BEFORE THE CAR WILL START FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU MUST INITIALIZE THE

AUTOCOMMAND TO SHOW THE UNIT THAT IT IS IN AN A UTOMATIC VEHICLE.

A. The AutoCommand®requires the installer to press and hold the

brake pedal while the Hood is open.

B. While depressing the brake pedal (with the engine off) turn the

ignition key to the “RUN” (not “start”) position.

C. Put the car in gear from the “PARK” position.

D. Put the car back in “PARK” and release the brake pedal.

Confirm initialization by turning the ON/OFF control switch “OFF” and then

“ON”. The red LED on the AutoCommand®module will flash once immediately

as the switch is flipped from the “OFF” to the “ON” position.

IF THE UNIT DOES NOT INITIALIZE AT THIS TIME, REPEAT STEPS

A THROUGH D ABOVE.

12. Green Wire Tach Input Control Harness

The AutoCommand®has two ways of monitoring the car during the starting

process. Both ways will ensure a clean, accurate start. Read about both meth-

ods before deciding which one to use. Normally you should try the “No TachTM”

method first.

“No TachTM” Starting

This starting method does not require the connection of the GREEN tach wire.

This method will start the car by reading the car’s voltage before attempting to

start, and then looking for a voltage increase when the alternator kicks in. This

feature automatically takes into account voltage, temperature, and the time since

the vehicle was last run. The “No-TachTM” starting is preset at the factory and

you can skip step 12A if you would like to use it. Note that if the vehicle is hard

to start, set option #3 (page 14) for “extended crank.”

Tachometer sensing

If the vehicle is generally hard starting (requiring a cranking time of more than

1 second) you will get more accurate starting with the tachometer sensing start-

ing method. This method starts the car by reading the engine speed (tach)

information from a wire under the hood. If you choose tachometer sensing,

connect the GREEN (18 awg) wire to the car’s tach wire under the hood. After

you have connected the GREEN wire, you need to teach the AutoCommand®

the vehicle’s tach rate. Proceed to step 12A.

Note: You must have already initialized the vehicle.

2005 Directed Electronics, Inc.

12A. Tach Rate Learning

Note: Only use if the tachometer sensing method is chosen.

A. Connect the GREEN wire to the car’s tach wire under the hood.

B. Turn the On/Off control switch to the “OFF” position. Wait 5 seconds

for the flashing of the red LED to stop.

C. Push the white button to the left of the red LED once and you will see the

red LED flash. Now push the red button on the right side for a second

until you see the red LED flash again. You are now in TACH mode. (If

the LED flashed twice -- simply push the right button again until you get

only one flash).

D. Wait 5 seconds for the red LED to flash 3 times.

E. Turn the On/Off control switch back to the “ON” position

F. Start the car and let it get to a normal idle. Do not press on the gas pedal.

G. Push the red button to the right of the red LED.

H. Watch the red LED. It will turn on (solidly) after 3 or 4 seconds,

indicating that the idle rate has been learned.

I. Turn the key to the “Lock/Off” position.

Note: Once this step is complete, the red LED should remain lit only when the engine

is running (at up to twice the learned idle rate--above this rate the LED light

should shut off). THIS IS CRITICAL. Confirm this by running the engine

(with the key in the ignition) and pressing the gas pedal to raise the idle rate to

twice the normal rate. The red LED should turn off. If it does not turn off,

repeat the tach rate learning step and check the GREEN wire connection and

location.

13. Red/White Wire Remote Input Control Harness

The RED/WHITE wire is used to trigger the AutoCommand®to start. Giving this wire

a negative pulse will cause the AutoCommand®to start. Giving it another negative pulse

will cause it to stop.

Hook this wire up to the output wire of your remote car alarm or keyless entry system.

Or, hook it to the lock or unlock wire of your vehicle and set Option 8 as described in

Section 21.
