OWNER’S MANUAL
Remote Start Alarm Keyless Entry
Upgrade System
Congratulations on your purchase of this automotive Remote Start / Alarm Keyless Entry
Upgrade System. This system is a state - of - the - art system is designed to arm and disarm
when it receives a lock or unlock command from your existing Factory Keyless Entry
Transmitter. Taking a few moments to read this manual will help to ensure that your vehicle
is protected at all times.
NOTE:
The system has the ability to beep the vehicle's horn, sound a siren, or both. Where a beep
or chirp is mentioned, consider either or both may sound.
Also All functions of the system will be controlled by the factory transmitter, including the start
sequence however for optimum range, it is suggested that the one button transmitter supplied
be used for starting, and unlocking while running under control of the the remote start.
ARMING THE SYSTEM: ( ACTIVE )
1. Turn the ignition key off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors.
2. Press and release the Lock button on the keychain transmitter.
3. The siren and or horn will beep one time, the parking lamps will flash one time,
and the LED found on the glass mounted receiver will begin to slowly flash, indicating that
the system is ARMED.
If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or hood lid ajar.
Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protection. If the siren "chirped"
three times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed dome light learn circuit
has been programmed and the system detected a open entry point after the
learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood, trunk, or doors will correct the
problem and you do not need to disarm the system to make the correction. If the
siren/horn did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off, and
you should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINATING THEARM / DISARM CHIRPS “
in this manual.
4. Any time the door lock switch in the vehicle is used to lock the doors while
the ignition key is turned off, the system will immediately arm. To lock the doors
after entering the vehicle, make sure the ignition key is switched on first.
Turning the ignition key on first will stop the system from arming.
ARMING THE SYSTEM: ( PASSIVE )
1. Turn the ignition key off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors.
2. The LED will begin to flash rapidly, indicating that the system
is automatically ( passively ) arming. As an added convenience, the 30
second automatic passive arming will not begin until all doors are closed,
allowing passengers to exit the vehicle at their convenience.
3. In 30 seconds, you will hear a single short chip from the siren, and the vehicle’s
parking lamps will flash one time, indicating that the system has ARMED. At
this time, the dash mounted PRLED will begin to flash slowly, providing a
visualindication that the system is fully armed.
4. It is possible to program the system, that when the alarm is allowed to
automatically passive arm, there will be a 15 second delay after a door is
opened before the alarm will sound. However, if the system is programmed
for instant trigger there will be no delay. Check with your installer for the setting
of this feature.

within 3 seconds. The alarm will immediately sound, and continue to sound for
30 seconds.
2. To stop the alarm before the 30 second cycle has expired, simply press
and release the unlock button on your keychain transmitter.
NOTE: If the factory system has a panic mode, it is suggested that the factory panic feature
be used instead of the PRO9233ST to prevent any potiential problem of turning off the panic
mode.
USING THE VALET SWITCH :
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need
to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in
valet mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and
remote door locks will remain operational. To use the valet mode, the system must first be
disarmed either by using your keychain transmitter, or by overriding the system as
explained in the Manual Override Section of this manual.
TO ENTER THE VALET MODE:
1. Disarm the unit by use of the factory transmitter or by use of the manual override
sequence.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “On” position.
3. Press and hold the pushbutton switch found on the glass mounted receiver assembly
for 5 seconds, until the LED turns on, indicating valet mode has been successfully
entered.
TO EXIT VALET:
With the ignition switch in the on position, press and release the pushbutton switch one time
. The LED turns off indicating the valet mode has successfully been exited.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
USING SIMPLE VALET SWITCH MANUAL OVERRIDE
If your factory transmitter is lost, broken, or otherwise rendered inoperable your Security
System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is necessary,
since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the transmitter is lost or its battery
fails. If your system has been selected for Valet Switch manual override as indicated on the
last page of this manual, to override the alarm system;
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the valet pushbutton switch found on the glass
mounted receiver.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the (bypassed) mode. You can now start
and operate the vehicle normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative.
USING CUSTOM CODE MANUAL OVERRIDE:
If your factory transmitter is lost, broken, or otherwise rendered inoperable, your system
can be overridden allowing operation of the vehicle. The manual override code is pre-
programmed at the factory to 11. This code can be changed by the operator to a more
familiar two digit number. Once you’ve become familiar with the system’s operation and
override procedure, we suggest you change the code for added security.
NOTE: The override procedure below describes use, assuming that the factory
preset code has not been changed and is still set to the factory default 11.
The on glass receiver's LED valet/override push button switch is used to enter the
tenths and units digits, pressing and releasing this button one time for each
digit required.
If your system has been selected for Custom Code manual override as indicated on the last
page of this manual, to bypass the alarm system; with a code of 11, follow the sequence
listed below:
1. The LED is flashing indicating the unit is armed, enter the vehicle, the siren
will sound, turn the ignition switch to the “on” position.
Page 3
128-8604
3 of 8
2. Within 10 seconds begin to enter tenths digit of override code. (In this ex-
ample the code is 11, so press and release the push-button switch found on the glass
mounted receiver assembly one time).
3. Within 10 seconds of entering the last tenths digit, turn ignition “off then on”.
4. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch on, begin to enter units digit
of override code. (In this example the code is 11, so press and release
the push-button switch found on the glass mounted receiver assembly one time).
5. Within 5 seconds after the last units digit is entered, turn the ignition switch
off, then on, and start your vehicle.
If the manual override code is entered properly, the unit stops sounding, the LED turns off,
indicating a successful override. The system is now disarmed and you can start and
operate your vehicle. The unit will allow three attempts to disarm via the manual override
sequence. If the code is not successfully entered within the three attempts, disarming with
the manual override switch will be locked for 10 minutes.
In many cases, to increase the security of your system, you may elect to change the manual
override code to a number that is more familiar to you, or simply to have a different code
than was pre-assigned from the factory. To Change the pre-assigned override code follow
the steps outlined below.
It is advised you read both sections under the headings “Programming Your Custom Over-
ride Code” and, “Custom Code Programming Example”, To completely understand the proce-
dure before beginning:
Programming Your Custom Override Code:
Unlike override switches easily found, and defeated, this system allows the con-
sumer to program a personal override code, offering a higher level of security. The system
comes from the factory with a pre-programmed override code of 11. To change this default
override code, do the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency
override sequence. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the push-button switch found on the receiver
assembly 3 times.
3. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on.
(The siren or horn will beep and the lights will flash one time.)
4. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by pressing
and releasing the push-button switch from 1 up to 9 times.
5. Within 10 seconds of the last entered 10ths digit, turn the ignition switch off then
on.
6. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen units digit by pressing
and releasing the push-button switch from 1 up to 9 times.
7. Finish by turning the ignition switch to the off position.
If the new code was accepted, the unit will report back the newly entered code, by flashing
the LED, first indicating the 10ths digit, pause and then the units digit. The unit will report the
new code three times with a one second pause between each code, then the system will
begin arming. If the LED flash pattern reports the previously stored code, the new code
was not entered correctly. Please repeat steps 1 through 7 above considering the follow-
ing.
NOTE: Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize
a 0 (Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for
more then 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back
to the last successfully stored code.
Custom Code Programming Example:
To Change the code from the factory pre-assigned code of 11 to “52” you
would do the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency
override sequence.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the push-button switch found on the receiver
assembly 3 times.
4. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on.
(The siren or horn will beep and the lights will flash one time.)
5. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the push-button switch to set the tenths
digit.
(As per the example, press and release 5 times to set the tenths digit to 5)
6. Within 10 seconds of the last press of the push-button, turn the ignition switch
offthen on.
7. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the push-button switch to set the units
digit.
(As per the example, press and release 2 times to set the units digit to 2).
8. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. Immediately observe the LED
flash pattern.
You will note the LED flashing five times, pause, and then flash two times, pause. This
pattern will be repeated three times indicating the new code (52) has been accepted and
stored in memory.
NOTE: If after step 7, the LED flashes a code other than what was just entered,
this indicates that the code has not been changed. You will have to repeat
steps 1 through 7 above being certain to note the following:
Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recog-
nize a 0 (Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for
more then 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back
to the last successfully stored code.
OPTIONALIGNITIONLOCK/UNLOCKFEATURE:
If your existing factory installed keyless entry system did not include an ignition on/off door
lock and unlock feature, this feature can be activated from this upgrade system. When this
accessory has been added, any time the ignition key is turned to the on position and all vehicle
doors are closed, the doors will lock in 4 seconds. Additionally, any time the ignition key is
turned to the off position, the doors will unlock.
ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS :
The normal arming and disarming confirmation chirps can easily be turned off using the valet
pushbutton switch found on the glass mounted receiver assembly. To do this;
1. Turn the ignition key on, and then off.
2. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition key off, press and release the push-button
valet/override switch 3 times.
3. a. If, before proceeding with step 1, the chirps were on, then you will hear 2
chirps to indicate that the chirps have been turned off.
b. If, before proceeding with step 1, the chirps were off, then you will hear 1 chirp
to indicate that the chirps have been turned on.
4. Whenever power to the system has been disconnected ( for repair or service
to the vehicle ), the chirps will be activated when the power is re - connected.
To turn the chirps off, simply execute steps 1 through 3 above.
NOTE: Whenever the Arm/Disarm chirps are bypassed, the 3 chirp defective
zone and the 4 chirp intrusion indicator will continue to operate. This
feature will always warn you if a door was left ajar when arming, or the
vehicle was tampered with in your absence.
