1. Thoroughly read and become familiar with the installation instructions before beginning the installation.
2. Review system contents:
Main Unit
Two 4-Button Remote Transmitters
Harnesses
• 6-Wire starter harness
• 3-Pin Power harness
• 8-Pin main harness
• 3-Pin door lock harness
• LED, Valet Switch and antenna Harness
3. Verify vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection, and starts/idles normally before installation.
4. Determine if vehicle is equipped with a factory theft deterrent system and obtain proper bypass module if required.
5. Find a location to mount the hood pin switch that will not interfere with the opening of the hood, and is not in a
position that can accumulate water. The hood pin is a safety device that must be installed to avoid remote starting
during engine servicing.
6. Verify with the owner, the mounting locations for all visible components, including the LED and Valet switch.
7. Verify with the owner, the optional features of the ASTRA/300RS and the features that must be programmed during
installation.
8. Inspect and perform a function test of all vehicle systems before and after the installation.
9. Always use a Volt / Ohm meter for testing vehicle circuits. Never use a test light.
10. Always look before drilling any holes or mounting self-tapping screws. Be sure fuel lines and exterior wiring looms
are clear as they are often close to the chassis and difficult to see.
11. Protect all wires running from the engine compartment to the interior of the vehicle by covering with electrical
tape and split loom tubing. Be sure to use a grommet when routing wires through the firewall.
12. Properly fuse any additional accessories such as window modules, door lock actuators, etc., making sure to power
them separate from the alarm module. This will ensure the functionality of the security system in the event of an
accessory failure.
Mounting the Control Unit
The control unit must only be mounted in the interior of the vehicle. Do not mount the main unit in the engine com-
partment. Choose a mounting location that will not be easily accessible to a thief, and will not interfere with the op-
eration of any vehicle components such as foot pedals, steering column, air vents, seat rails, etc. Do not mount the
control unit until after setting the internal jumpers and performing a complete operation check of the system. After
installation is complete and performance verified, the control unit can be easily mounted using wire ties through the
mounting tabs on the bottom of the unit.
