Virtual Tach System
* Virtual Tach System combines the latest microcontroller technology and a complex algorithm that took years to develop. VTS
is able to effectively monitor the engine starting sequence and release the starter at the right time without physically connecting
the tach wire to the remote starter. The VTS constantly monitors the data and readjusts itself automatically in order to maximize
its capability to start the engine properly in any weather or deteriorating battery condition (automatic transmission only).
Optional Time Delay Adjustment in Virtual Tach System
Follow these steps to program crank time adjustment, if needed:
1. Flash the hood pin (see page 1) — the parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds.
2. Before the lights go out, press and hold the brake pedal and press the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously — the
parking lights will flash 4 times. Do not release the brake pedal.
3. Press the lock button if you wish to increase the time delay or the unlock button if you want to decrease it. The time
delay will be increased or decreased by 50ms. and the parking lights will flash once every time the lock or unlock
button is pressed.
4. Press the trunk button to save the settings you have entered.
5. Release the brake pedal - the time delay programming is now complete.
Tach Programming
1. Flash the hood pin (see on page 1) — the parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds.
2. Before the lights go out, press and hold the brake pedal and press the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously — the
parking lights will flash 4 times At that point, release the brake pedal.
3. Start up the engine and allow the vehicle to reach regular engine idle speed.
4. Once the engine is running idle, press the brake pedal and keep it down until you hear the parking lights output click
5 times.
5. Release the brake pedal —^the tach programming is now complete.
Horn Honk Timing
Follow these steps to program horn confirmation:
1. Flash the hood pin (see on page 1) — the parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds
Ensure that the hood is up and that the ignition is off.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal, then simultaneously press the unlock and start / stop buttons — the horn will chirp 5
times.
3. Release the brake pedal.
4. To change the timing:
1. To increase the Horn pulse by 3 ms, press the lock button.
2. To decrease the pulse by 3 ms, press the unlock button.
3. To increase the pulse by 10 ms, press the start / stop button.
4. To decrease the pulse by 10 ms, press the trunk button.
5. To save the new settings: press lock and unlock. If 3 chirps are returned the new settings have been saved.
Supplementary Information
Fifth Relay Output (2nd IGN, ACC or CRANK)
Remote car starters of this series are equipped with an on-board high­
current programmable 5 th relay that can be used to power a second
ignition, accessory or crank wire. The unit uses 3 sets of pins; each set
corresponds to a specific function of the output. In order to activate one of
the three possible functions, you must place the jumper (supplied) on one
of the three sets of pins and connect the 14 AWG wire to the second IGN. /
ACC. / crank wire of the vehicle.
Caution!
Only one set of pins can be used at one time. Using more than one jumper may result in serious damage to the vehicle. The relay output
rating on this unit is 25 a at most. Defective oem solenoid switches can sometimes draw up to 50 or 60 a, causing the 30 a fuse to blow.
Always verify your circuit with an appropriate measuring device.
