Drill a ¼ “ diameter hole, and pass the red and blue wires from the LED through the hole, from the front of
the panel. Firmly press the body of the LED into the hole until fully seated.
Valet Switch:
Select a mounting location for the switch that is easily accessible to the driver of the vehicle. The switch
does not have to be concealed, however, concealing the switch is always recommended, as this provides
an even higher level of security to the vehicle.
The valet switch can be mounted to the lower side of the dash by drilling a ¼ “ diameter hole in the selected
location.
Be sure to check behind the dash for adequate clearance for the body of the switch, and to confirm that the
drill will not damage any existing components as it passes through the dash. Route the two pin connector
toward the control module.
Shock Sensor:
Select a solid mounting surface for the shock sensor on the firewall inside the passenger compartment,
and mount the sensor using the two screws provided. The shock sensor can also be secured to any fixed
brace behind the dash using tie straps.
Whichever mounting method is selected, make certain that the sensitivity adjustment is accessible for use
later in the installation.
WIRING THE SYSTEM
Large 8 Pin Edge Connector:
Red/White (5Amp) & Red Fused (15Amp) Wires : + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE
This wire controls the sensitivity of the voltage sensing circuit, which detects the turning on of an interior
light when a door is opened. It will also detect the switching on of parking or headlamps, and in many
cases will trigger the alarm when a thermostatically controlled electronic radiator cooling fan switches on.
When installing this system into vehicles with electronic “ after fans “, it is recommended you disable the
voltage sense circuit.
In voltage sensing applications, the closer to the battery that the red wire is connected, the less sensitive
the voltage sense circuitry will be. Moving this connection point to the fuse panel will increase the sensitiv-
ity, and connecting to the courtesy lamp fuse in the vehicle will provide maximum sensitivity of the voltage
sense circuit. Be certain to set selectable feature # 12 to 1 chirp, Voltage Sense On.
When hardwiring the control module to pin switches at all entry points, the voltage sense circuit must be
disabled.
Orange Wire: 300 mA GROUND OUTPUT WHEN ARMED - N. C. STARTER DISABLE
This wire is provided to control the starter cut relay. Connect the orange wire to terminal 86 of the relay.
Connect relay terminal 85 to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is live when the key is in the on and crank
positions and off when the key is in the off position. (This is where the yellow wire from the alarm should
be connected).
Cut the low current starter solenoid wire in the vehicle, and connect one side of the cut wire to relay
terminal 87A. Connect the other side of the cut wire to relay terminal 30.
Note: This is a normally closed starter cut arrangement, and when power is removed from the
security system, the starter disable feature will not operate, allowing the vehicle to start.
Audiovox does not recommend using the Orange wire to interrupt anything but the starting
circuit of the vehicle.
Green w/ White trace Wire: Entry Illumination Ground Output
This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max) whenever the remote is used to disarm the
alarm or to unlock the doors and provides a continuous pulsed output whenever the alarm is triggered. This
wire should be connected to an external relay and wired to the vehicles interior entry lighting whenever the
optional Interior Illumination circuit is desired. See Wiring Diagram for details.
Dark Blue Wire: DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 3
The dark blue wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is
a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.
WARNING: Connecting the dark blue wire to the high current switched output of trunk release circuits,
some remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module.
Connect the dark blue wire to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30 A automotive relay), and
wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 3.
