Congratulations on your purchase of the RS-3A Remote Starter add-on unit.
The RS-3Aoffers you the convenience of starting of your vehicle’s engine, with
the press of a button from the comfort of your home or ofce, allowing your
vehicle to warm up in winter and cool down in summer.
The RS-3A is an “add-on” unit designed to be used in conjunction with an
additional remote control vehicle accessory such as a security alarm or keyless
entry system.
We highly recommend that this system be professionally installed, as the
complexity of the modern automobile and the nature of circuits to be accessed
is often beyond the abilities of most do-it-yourselfers.
There are several important safety considerations with using and installing
the RS-3A remote starter unit. Among them are:
-This unit is for vehicle with an automatic transmission only. Installation in a
vehicle equipped with a manual transmission can result in property damage
or personal injury.
-This unit is for fuel injected gasoline or diesel engines.
-Children should not be left unattended in, or be allowed to play with the acti-
vat-
ing transmitters of any remote starter equipped vehicle.
Introduction & Safety Considerations
Remote Starting
*
To Remote Start The Vehicle: Press the necessary button or button com-
bination on the host system’s transmitter.
1) The parking lights will turn on to conrm the starting process.
2) The ignition circuit will turn on.
3) Within a few seconds the parking lights will turn off and the starter will en-
gage.
4) The engine will start, run, and the starter will be disengaged.
5) The parking lights will turn back on while the RS unit is controlling the en-
gine.
6) If the engine stalls, the RS unit will make two attempts to restart it.
When you leave your vehicle, simply set the climate controls for what you
desire to be operating upon remote start - heater, defroster or air conditioning.
Upon entering the vehicle place the ignition key in the switch and turn it to the
“On” position. Do not turn the key to the “Start” position.
Deactivation

-Stepping on the brake pedal will turn the engine off.
-Opening the hood will turn the engine off. If the hood is open when an ac-
tivation attempt is made, the RS unit will not respond, and will not start
the engine.
-Turning “on” the Valet Switch will also stop the engine.
Valet Mode
The RS unit may be placed into a “valet mode” which prevents the remote
start feature from being activated. Valet Mode should always be used when you
do not wish for remote start to be operated, such as when you leave your vehicle
with a valet parking attendant, mechanic or if you loan it to another person. An
“on/off toggle” switch, the Valet Switch, is used for this, and it is typically mounted
within easy reach of the driver. To engage the Valet Mode:
- At any time simply ip the Valet Switch to the “on” position. Three seconds
later the parking lights will ash 3 times to indicate Valet Mode.
Once the RS unit is in Valet Mode, an attempt to remote start will instead be
acknowledged by 3 parking light ashes, but no starting attempt.
- To turn off Valet Mode, with the ignition switch “On” simply ip the Valet
Switch
Switch “off”; the parking lights will ash once. If the Valet Switch is turned “off”

Do not attempt to install this Remote Car Starter into a manual
transmission vehicle! Doing so could cause serious property
damage, personal injury, and will void all warranties!
Be aware of, and avoid, any airbag circuitry! Due to the fact that
an installer will not be in a normal, upright seated position, severe
injury may occur in an accidental airbag deployment!
The use of a Digital Multimeter (DMM) or Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM)
instead of a standard testlight is required. This can greatly reduce
the risk of an accidental airbag deployment or on-board computer
damage.
Battery gases are explosive! Avoid sparks and do not smoke
while working near the vehicle’s battery!
Always protect wires routed through the rewall from sharp metal
edges and hot parts of the engine! Always fuse positive wires at
their source!
Installation Cautions and Warnings

IMPORTANT!
After reading this manual, start the installation by afxing the
WARNING DECAL to a visible area in the engine compartment!
Installation Considerations: This entire booklet should be read before
starting the installation. An understanding of which control module wires are to
be used and their functions is essential. Installations will vary from car to car,
as some control module wires are required, while others are optional. Before
starting the installation, it should be determined which control module wires will
be used. Most installers will list these wires, then “map out” the installation by
locating and noting the target wires in the vehicle. This will also determine the
best location for the RS control module, which is mounted upon completion of
the installation.
This Remote Start Unit duplicates the actions that occur within the ignition
switch when you use your key to start the engine. Because of this, most of the
main wiring harness connections will be made at the ignition switch harness.
The ignition switch wires usually are high amperage circuits, which means that
high reliability connections must be made- soldering of all connections is recom-
mended.
Caution! Avoid the Airbag circuit! Especially avoid any harness or wires encased

(Two 12-Gauge) Red Wires: Constant +12
Volts Input
Connection Required. Connect both Red wires to constant 12 Volts. The
source used must supply adequate amperage. The most common sources are
the battery’s Positive terminal and the ignition switch wiring harness. Good reliable
some Ignition Switches have the electrical
switch as part of the mechanical switch;
oth- ers have the electrical switch
lower on the steering column
and connected to the mechanical
switch by a linkage. The ignition
switch wiring harness is the
best source for this and the
ignition #1 and accessory

12-Gauge Green Wire: Starter Output Con-
nection Required. Connect the Green wire to the vehicle’s Starter wire. This
wire will show +12 Volts only when the ignition key is in the “Start” position. This
wire is also found in the ignition switch wiring harness (see diagram on previous
page). Some vehicles have a second Starter wire known as a “Cold Start” wire.
When this is encountered, an optional relay may be needed, congured to the
3-pin Red port, to energize the second Starter wire (pages 22-23).
Note: If a security system is present which utilizes a starter interrupt circuit, the
Green wire must be connected to the Starter Motor side of the interrupt.
12-Gauge Blue Wire: Ignition Output Con-
nection Required. Connect the Blue wire to the vehicle’s Ignition wire (also
known as “Primary Ignition”). This wire will show +12 Volts when the ignition key
is in the “Run” and “Start” positions and no voltage in the “Off” and “Accessory”
positions. This wire is found in the ignition switch wiring harness (see diagram
on previous page).
Note: If two or more Primary Ignition wires are present, you will need to connect
an optional relay or relays to the 3-pin Red port (see pages 22-23).
10
12-Gauge Yellow Wire: Accessory Output
Connection Required. Connect the Yellow wire to the vehicle’s Accessory
wire. This circuit supplies power to the Heat, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system. This wire will show 12 Volts when the ignition key is in the “Run”
and “Accessory” positions and No voltage in the “Start” and “Off” positions. The
connection point for this wire is also found in the ignition switch wiring harness
(see diagram on page 8).
W I R I N G - 9 Wire Connector
22-Gauge Black Wire: System Ground
Connection Required. Connect the Black wire to a very good, clean
chassis ground. A recommended connection is to an existing machine-thread
bolt, either in the driver’s kick panel, steering column area or a major structural
member behind the dash. Small dash braces are not adequate, and the area
must be clean, bright metal. Use of a sheet metal screw or otherwise grounding
to the vehicle’s sheet metal is least desirable, and in some cases will result in an
inadequate grounding of the system.
