For a Smooth Installation, Prepare!
You’re probably eager to add a security system to your vehicle. That’s great! And you’ll save a lot of money by installing it yourself. That’s smart! But, please do not turn the first screw before you map out a complete, step-by-step plan of attack. “Ready, Fire, Aim” is no way to install a security system. Trust us!

You don’t have to do it all in one day. Break the job into bite-size pieces. Verify that each segment of the system works as intended before moving on. For example:

• Step 1 - Find a spot to mount the “brain” (control module) and siren. Hook the siren, LED indicator and valet switch to the brain, taking great care to route and connect the wires in a safe, secure way. Connect the power and ground leads to the brain. Test.
• Step 2 - Position your sensors in their intended mounting locations and connect them to the brain. Test the coverage area of the sensors and make final adjustments before you fasten them down.
• Step 3 - Tie into your door triggers and your power door lock circuit for keyless entry. Tie into your dome light and parking light circuits. Test these functions. When everything is working properly, secure the brain to the mounting surface.

What is a Remote Start anyway?

A remote start system is an electronic device that allows you to start your vehicle by remote control without actually being inside the vehicle or using the key. The remote start system supplies the vehicle with power and simulates a start just as if you were inside using the key.

Why should I use a remote start system?

There are many reasons that a remote start system can come in handy. By far, the most popular application for a remote start system is cold weather warm up. Imagine not having to go out into freezing or below-zero temperatures 10 to 20 minutes before going anywhere to warm up your vehicle. The remote start system allows you to simplify your life and take care of this tedious task for you. In the desert or warm climates, a remote start system comes in handy to cool your car down before entering. Imaging not having to sit on a burning hot seat or touch a burning hot steering wheel. Remote starting systems are multi-functional devices that have many applications for private and commercial vehicles.
