necessary to reconfigure the Remote Starts Wiring to accommodate this vehicle. The information concerning the

Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch provided below will help you to determine if the vehicle you are working on has

this type of safety switch and will provide alternate wiring methods to accommodate this situation.

WARNING!

REMEMBER TO RECONNECT THE BROWN/BLACK WIRE TEMPORARILY

DISCONNECTED IN STEP 3

DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION OF THE

NEUTRAL SAFETY START FEATURE.

MECHANICAL NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH CONSIDERATIONS:

Mechanical neutral safety switch configurations differ slightly in that they do not offer the same level of safety when

installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear selector is in any position

other than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow the key to be turned to the start position or be

removed from the ignition cylinder. This configuration prevents mechanical operation while the vehicle is in gear but

offers no consideration for electrical operation. Because of this potential problem, this installation requires the addi-

tional connection of a safety wire from the remote start device to the vehicle Park/Neutral ECM Input or the vehicle

key in sensor. This connection will prevent remote start operation if the key is left in the ignition switch regardless of

the gear selectors position.

PARK / NEUTRAL ECM INPUT:

The Park / Neutral ECM input is the preferred method of installation. This not only maintains the integrity of the factory

circuit, it is also the easiest to install, providing the vehicle you are working on has this ECM input.

The installation required for this application (shown below), indicates the slight reconfiguration of the control switch

wiring and the addition of a 4000 series diode. Shown is a typical GM Park/Neutral ECM input circuit. To connect the

Audiovox remote start unit to the GM Park / Neutral ECM input:

1. Locate the Orange / Black reference wire in the "C2" connector found at the ECM in GM B Body vehicles or, locate

the equivalent reference wire in the vehicle you are installing the Audiovox Remote Start Unit in.

2. Connect the Cathode, (Striped) end, of a 4000 series diode to this reference wire.

3. Connect the Anode, (Non Striped) end, of the diode to one side of the Remote Starts enable switch.

4. Connect the other side of the enable switch to the Black/White enable input wire of the Remote Start unit.

The reference diagram below shows a typical GM B Body ECM reference wire and how it is to be connected to the

Remote Start Unit.
