INSTALLATION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS  
Note: This system allows the transmitter to be programmed for single button lock/unlock or separate  
button lock/unlock. The receiver is set up as follows:  
Channel #1  
Channel #2  
Channel #3  
Channel #4  
Channel #5  
=
=
=
=
=
Lock/Unlock/Unlock 2 &Panic  
If Programmed, Unlock/Unlock 2 & Panic  
Channel 3 & Alternate Channel 3  
Channel 4 Output  
Channel 5 Output (If so Equipped)  
During the program routine, if a transmitter button is programmed into receiver channel 2, then the unit will  
always have separate lock/unlock from that transmitter.  
If during the program sequence receiver channel 1 is programmed, and received channel 2 is skipped over,  
as indicated in the transmitted program guide, then the unit will operate as a single button lock/unlock unit  
from that transmitter.  
It is possible to have one transmitter programmed for single button lock/unlock, and one transmitter pro-  
grammed for separate button lock/unlock if the customer so desires.  
If you inadvertently incorrectly program the transmitter, please read the information on re-prioritizing found  
in the transmitter programming guide.  
This unit is also capable of single button programming. Simply enter the transmitter program mode and  
press the lock, channel one button for each transmitter, then exit the program mode. This action sets the  
transmitters for seperate lock/unlock as well programs the trunk release button and the option button.  
Control Module:  
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment ( up behind the dash ), and secure using the  
two screws provided. The control module can also be secured in place using cable ties.  
Do not mount the control module in the engine compartment, as it is not waterproof. You should also avoid  
mounting the unit directly onto factory installed electronic components. These components may cause RF  
interference, which can result in poor transmitter range or intermittent operation.  
Transceiver, (Antenna Receiver) Assembly:  
The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the  
dash board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle  
for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles  
utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the  
antenna toward a rear window location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape  
provided. After securing the antenna with tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to  
a fixed support. This will prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed  
to extreme heat which may loosen it's gummed surface. Route the 4 pin connector toward the control  
module using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control  
module.  
Siren:  
Select a mounting location in the engine compartment that is well protected from access below the vehicle.  
Avoid areas near high heat components or moving parts within the engine compartment. To prevent water  
retention, the flared end of the siren must be pointed downward when mounted.  
Mount the siren to the selected location using the screws and bracket provided.  
Hood or Trunk Pin Switch:  
A pin switch is included for use in protecting the hood or trunk ( or hatchback ) of the vehicle. The switch  
must always be mounted to a grounded, metal surface of the vehicle. It is important to select a location  
where water cannot flow or collect, and to avoid all drip gutters on hood and trunk fender walls. Choose  
locations that are protected by rubber gaskets when the hood or trunk lid is closed.  
The pin switch can be mounted using the bracket provided, or direct mounted by drilling a ¼ “ diameter  
mounting hole. Keep in mind that when properly mounted, the plunger of the pin switch should depress at  
least ¼ “ when the hood or trunk lid is closed.  
Dash Mounted LED:  
A small LED is included that will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm status. It should be installed in the  
dash, located where it can be easily seen from outside the vehicle, yet not be distracting to the driver.  
Once a location has been selected, check behind the panel for wire routing access, and to confirm the drill  
will not damage any existing components as it passes through the panel.  
Page4

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.

White w/ Black Trace Wire: POSITIVE OUTPUT TO SIREN  
Route this wire through a rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the siren location.  
Connect the white / black wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren to  
chassis ground.  
Black Wire: CHASSIS GROUND  
Connect this wire to a solid, metal part of the vehicle’s chassis. Be certain that the connection point is  
clean unpainted surface to insure proper grounding.  
White Wire: + 12 VDC PULSED PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT (15 AMP MAX)  
This wire is provided to flash the vehicle’s parking lights. Connect the white wire to the positive side of one  
of the vehicle’s parking lights.  
Wiring The 11 Pin Mini Edge Connector:  
Dark Green w/ Black Trace Wire: LATCHING OUTPUT / CHANNEL 4  
The green w/ black trace wire latches to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter.  
This is a transistorized, low current ( 300 mA ) output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.  
This wire provides an immediate ground signal, and stays at ground for as long as the button(s) on the  
keychain transmitter remains pressed.  
WARNING ! Connecting the dark green w/ black trace wire to the high current switched output of  
trunk release circuits will damage the control module.  
Connect the dark green w/ black trace wire to terminal 86 of the AS 9256 relay (or an equivalent 30 Amp  
automotive relay ), and wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 4.  
NOTE: This wire can alternately be used for a rear window defroster output if in the case a remote start is  
added, in this case, this wire can be used to activate the rear window defogger either by a single pulsed  
ground, or a 10 minute ground output. This selection is available in bank 3 feature 1. The operation is as  
follows: When the Blue/Black alternate output wire is activated to start a vehicle, as long as the alarms  
ignition input wire is inactive, if the Green/Black channel wire is activated, there will be an output for pulsed  
or 10 minutes as selected in the feature bank.  
Dark Blue w/Black Trace Wire: Alternate Channel 3 Output (Dbl. Push Required)  
This wire is controlled from the transmitter button programmed to the receiver's channel 3. By double  
pressing this the transmitter button, this output will become active for 1 second. This is a transistorized,  
low current (300 mA) output, designed to provide an output only when the transmitter is intentionally  
operated, such as is the case with remote start add on modules. If you require more than 300mA drive from  
this output, you must drive an external relay coil, and arrange the relays contacts to preform the specified  
function.  
NOTE: Pressing the transmitter button, then immediately pressing and holding it will cause this output to  
be active as long as the transmitter button is depressed.  
Black w/ White Trace Wire: 300 mA Horn Output  
The black w/ white trace wire is provided to beep the vehicle’s horn. This is a transistorized low current  
output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle’s horn switch.  
If the vehicle uses a + 12 VDC horn switch, then connect the black w/ white trace wire to terminal 86 of the  
AS 9256 relay ( or an equivalent 30 Amp automotive relay ), and connect relay terminal 85 to a fused + 12  
VDC battery source. Connect relay terminal 87 to the vehicle’s horn switch output, and connect relay  
terminal 30 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source.  
Orange w/ White Trace Wire: 300 mA GROUND OUTPUT WHEN DISARMED - N. O. STARTER DIS-  
ABLE ( Optional Relay Required ).  
This wire is provided to control the starter cut relay. Connect the orange w/white 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 87. Connect the other side of the cut wire to relay terminal 30.  
Note: This is a normally opened starter cut arrangement, and when power is removed from the  
security system, the starter disable feature will remain operational, and the vehicle will  
not start. Audiovox does not recommend using the Orange w/ White trace wire to interrupt  
anything but the starting circuit of the vehicle.

( see Brown Wire ).  
Note for vehicles with interior delay lighting see programming under title "Completing The Installation".  
Yellow Wire: + 12 VDC IGNITION SOURCE  
Connect this wire to a source that is live when the key is in the on and crank positions. Be sure that this  
source is off when the key is in the off position.  
White w/ Blue Trace Wire: Low Current (-) Ground Headlight Output  
The White w/ Blue Trace wire is provided to operate the optional headlamp illumination feature of the system.  
This is a low current (300mA) output and must be connected to an external relay to control the high current  
switching circuit of the vehicle's headlamps. To use this option, Connect the White /w Blue Trace wire to  
terminal # 86 of a P&B VF45F11 relay or equivalent. Connect Terminals #85 and # 30 to a fused + 12 Volts  
source with a current capability equal to or in excess of the factory headlamp fuse. Connect terminal # 87 of  
the relay to the switched + 12 volt wire feeding the vehicle's headlamp circuit.

P&B VF45F11 relay or equivalent. Connect Terminal #85 to a fused + 12 Volts source. Connect  
terminal # 30 to a clean chassis ground. Connect terminal # 87 to the ground switched headlamp  
control wire in the vehicle.  
Light Green Wire: (-) Instant Trigger Zone 1  
This is a instant on ground trigger input intended for the connection of optional triggering devices. The ground  
trigger output wire of motion detectors, microwave detectors, or glass break detectors, can be connected to  
this Light Green trigger input wire.  
Light Blue/Green Wire: DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 5  
The light blue/green 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 light blue/green to the high current switched output of trunk release circuits,  
some remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module.  
Connect the light blue/green 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 5.  
2 Pin White Connector: DASH MOUNTED LED  
Route the red and blue wires in the 2 pin white connector from the LED to the control module, and plug it into  
the mating white connector on the side of the module.  
4 Pin White Connector: SHOCK SENSOR  
Route the red, black, blue, and green wires in the 4 pin white connector from the shock sensor to the control  
module, and plug one end into the shock sensor, and the other end into the mating white connector on the  
side of the module.  
Red / Green / Red w/Black Trace 3 Pin White Connector: Door Lock Outputs  
The Red and Green wires will provide either a pulsed ground output to the factory door lock control relay, or  
a pulsed + 12 volt output to the factory door lock control relay. In either case, the maximum current draw  
through these outputs must not exceed 300 mA. The Red w/Black trace wire will provide a pulsed ground  
only, and will only provide an output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second time after  
a first unlock command was issued. This is used for second step unlock or all doors unlock in a two step  
circuit. In this arrangement, Red, or Green is used to control the drivers door unlock relay, and the Red/Black  
will be used to control unlock of all other doors.

3 Wire Ground Switched Single Step Door Locks  
In this application, the red wire provides a ground pulse during arming, or the pulsed ground lock output.  
Connect the red wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door lock switch  
to the factory door unlock control relay.  
The green wire provides a ground pulse during disarming, or the pulsed ground unlock output. Connect  
the green wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door unlock switch to the  
factory door unlock control relay. Red/Black Not Used.  
3 Wire Ground Switched 2 Step Door Locks  
In this application, the red wire provides a ground pulse during arming, or the pulsed ground lock output.  
Connect the red wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door lock switch  
to the factory door lock control relay.  
The green wire provides the first ground pulse during disarming, or the drivers door pulsed ground  
unlock output. Connect this wire to the drivers door unlock relay that requires a low current ground signal  
to unlock only the drivers door. If the vehicle does not have a sperate drivers door relay, one will have to be  
added. Locate the drivers door unlock motor wire and cut it at a convenient location to allow wiring of an  
optional relay. Connect the door side of the cut wire to terminal 30 of the optional relay added. Connect the  
vehicle side of the cut wire to terminal 87a of the optional relay added. Connect the green wire of the 3 pin  
harness to terminal 86 of the optional relay added. Connect terminal 85 of the optional relay added to a  
fused constant + 12 volt source. Most vehicles door lock/unlock motor legs rest at ground, and switch +12  
volts to the door lock/unlock motor legs for operation, if this is the case in the vehicle you are working on,  
connect the remaining terminal, 87, to a fused + 12 volt source. In the rare instance that the vehicle door  
lock/unlock motor legs rest at + 12 volts and switches ground to the door lock/unlock motors, connect he  
remaining terminal, 87, to chassis ground.  
The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a  
second time after disarming. Connect the Red/Black wire to the wire that provides a low current ground  
signal from the factory door unlock switch to the factory door lock control relay.  
3 Wire Positive Switched Door Locks  
In this application, the red wire provides a positive pulse during disarming, or the pulsed + 12 volt unlock  
output. Connect the red wire to the wire that provides a low current positive signal from the factory door  
unlock switch to the factory door unlock control relay.  
The green wire provides a positive pulse during arming, or the pulsed + 12 volt lock output. Connect the  
green wire to the wire that provides a low current positive signal from the factory door lock switch to the  
factory door lock control relay.  
3 Wire Positive Switched 2 Step Door Locks  
The green wire provides a positive pulse during arming, or the pulsed + 12 volt lock output. Connect the  
green wire to the wire that provides a low current positive signal from the factory door lock switch to the  
factory door lock control relay.  
The red wire provides a positive pulse during disarming, or the drivers door pulsed positive unlock  
output. Connect this wire to the drivers door unlock relay that requires a low current positive signal to  
unlock only the drivers door. If the vehicle does not have a separate drivers door relay, one will have to be  
added. Locate the drivers door unlock motor wire and cut it at a convenient location to allow wiring of an  
optional relay. Connect the door side of the cut wire to terminal 30 of the optional relay added. Connect the  
vehicle side of the cut wire to terminal 87a of the optional relay added. Connect the red wire of the 3 pin  
harness to terminal 86 of the optional relay added. Connect terminal 85 of the optional relay added to  
chassis ground. Most vehicles door lock/unlock motor legs rest at ground, and switch +12 volts to the door  
lock/unlock motor legs for operation, if this is the case in the vehicle you are working on, connect the  
remaining terminal, 87, to a fused + 12 volt source. In the rare instance that the vehicle door lock/unlock  
motor legs rest at + 12 volts and switches ground to the door lock/unlock motors, connect he remaining  
terminal, 87, to chassis ground.  
The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a  
second time after disarming. Because the vehicle you are working on requires a positive pulse from the  
factory door lock switch to the factory door lock control relay, you will have to add a relay to invert the output  
polarity of this wire. Connect the Red/Black wire to terminal 86 of the optional added relay. Connect  
Page8

terminal 85 & 87 to a fuse + 12 volt source. Connect terminal 30 to the low current door unlock wire from the  
factory door switch to the door unlock control relay.  
Resistive Circuits, As Well As 4 Wire Polarity Reversal and 5 Wire Alternating 12 Volt  
Door Lock Control Circuits  
These applications require the use of additional components which may include relays, fixed resistors, or for  
convenience, the AS 9159 Door Lock Interface. Refer to the AUDIOVOX Door Lock Wiring Supplement and  
or the Audiovox fax back service for information on your particular vehicle for properly connecting to these  
types of circuits.  
4 Wire Antenna Cable:  
If you've not done so already, be certain to connect the Red/Green/Black/Blue 4 wire transceiver cable  
assembly to both the antenna assembly, and the mating connector of the control module or your transmit-  
ters will not operate.  
4 Pin Upgrade Telematic Module:  
Red = + 5 Volts / Black = Ground / White = Data TX / Yellow = Data RX  
Connect the 4 pin harness found in the Telematic one way module kit to the mating port on the PTUGM.  
NOTE: If using the TWO WAY Telematic module, only Ground, TX, and RX are used on this port, the + 12 volt supply  
for the two way module must be sourced separately or the unit will not operate.  
4 Pin Data Bus Upgrade Module Connector:  
The brown 4 pin data bus upgrade module connector located on the side of the module is designed to allow direct  
plug in of specific Audiovox upgrade data bus modules which when used will facilitate installation in certain  
vehicles.  
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION  
NOTE: This unit has the ability to learn the dome light delay time, up to 60 seconds. If the vehicle has  
delay interior lights, and you wish to avoid three chirp, defect zone, indication normally associated with  
this type of interior light, we suggest you learn the interior light delay.  
To learn the light delay, start with all doors closed:  
(1) Use the transmitter to Lock / Unlock / Lock / Unlock / Lock / Unlock / Lock, the system.  
The LED turns on solid to confirm the system entered the learn mode.  
(2) Immediately open and close the door of the vehicle to initiate the dome delay.  
The unit will monitor the door trigger input Positive, (Purple), and Negative, (Brown) when active.  
When the dome light turns off, the unit will add 2 seconds then exit the learn mode.  
(3) The LED will begin flashing the Armed indication indicating the unit has exited the learn mode and is  
armed.  
Adjusting the Shock Sensor: If used, the sensitivity of the pre - detect circuit is automatically set 30% less  
sensitive than the full trigger circuit.  
Using a small screwdriver, gently turn the adjustment screw fully counterclockwise. (DO NOT over turn this  
screw. Maximum rotation for this adjustment is 270°). Close the hood and trunk lids, and arm the alarm.  
Wait 6 seconds for the accessories trigger zone to stabilize, then firmly strike the rear bumper with the side  
of a closed fist considering the amount of force required to break a window.  
CAUTION: Never perform this test on the vehicle’s glass, as you may break the window.  
Turn the adjustment screw clockwise (increasing sensitivity) about ¼ turn and re-test. Repeat this  
procedure until the alarm sounds. Ultimately, one firm strike to the rear bumper will cause the alarm to emit  
pre-detect warning tones.  
WARNING ! Setting the sensitivity too high can cause false alarms due to noise vibrations from passing trucks  
and heavy equipment. To decrease sensitivity, turn the adjustment screw counter clockwise.  
Wire Dressing: Always wrap the alarm wires in convoluted tubing, or with a spiral wrap of electrical tape.  
Secure these looms along the routing using cable ties. This will ensure that the alarm wires are not  
damaged by falling onto hot or sharp moving surfaces in the vehicle.  
Operation: Take a few moments to check off the appropriate option boxes in the owner’s manual, and to  
fully explain the operation of the system to your customer.  
Place the Valet Switch Tag and or the Remote Start Control Switch Tag on their respective switches and  
point these out to the customer.
