Installation Guide P. 5

Installation Order

The following is a suggested order for the Installation procedure. It is intended as a guide for novices, to help

make the process of installing a remote starter module easier. Time is wasted by rewiring the module when

mistakes are made. Also, the neatness of the installation is lessened every time the module is taken down and

the wiring is “corrected”.

• Visit www.Prostart.org to obtain a copy of your vehicle’s tech sheet (wire colors and locations)

• Before you get started, make sure the vehicle starts and idles properly with the Ignition key, and that the

electrical system is not compromised in any way.

• After deciding what options are to be added to the basic installation, you can start by looking for the wires

that will be needed.

• Remember to be careful when removing the panels that are covering the wires you are searching for.

• Once all of the wires have been found, they should be tested to verify that they are the correct ones

needed for the installation.

• When all the wires have been tested and found, they can be stripped to expose the wire (over one inch of

insulation should be removed).

• It is always better to strip more than you need. A common way cold solder joints happen is when not

enough insulation is stripped off the vehicle's wire, so during the soldering process the insulation from the

wire melts and flows into the connection instead of the solder.

• Decide where the module is going to be mounted. It is ALWAYS mounted inside the passenger

compartment, and NEVER in the engine bay. Under the driver's side of the dash there is usually enough

room for the module to fit. Once the location has been decided, proceed to the next step.

• Mount the antenna and run the cable to the location where the module is going to be mounted. The

antenna will get the best range when it is high up in the vehicle, and not obstructed by metal. The most

common choice is the center of the windshield at the top, behind the rear view mirror, and at least one inch

below the tint strip. Another location should be used if there is another antenna in this location, compass,

or other device that may interfere with the range of the start module.

• In the engine compartment, mount the hood pin, in a suitable location. Search along the firewall for an

OEM grommet you run the wires through. If you cannot find an OEM grommet to use, you will have to drill

a hole. The hole must be big enough for all of your wires to fit through. To be safe drill the hole out a little

bigger so the wires will have ample room. We recommend using an aftermarket grommet whenever you

drill a hole through the firewall. This will protect the wires from rubbing against the bare metal and possibly

shorting out. If you are installing an alarm / starter combo module, mount the siren in the engine

compartment at this time.

• The next step is to pre-wire the module. This is done on your work bench, and not in the vehicle. Connect

any external modules and relays that may be needed for you install. Tape or tie-strap wires that are going

to be routed to the same areas of the vehicle. This will keep things neat when the module is in the vehicle.

The fuses on the power wires should be removed during the pre-wire stage. The fuses will not be put back

in until the powering stage of the installation.

• Connect all the necessary accessories to the module before mounting it in the vehicle. Use tie-straps to

secure it to the vehicle. Make sure the module and harnessing do not interfere with any moving parts, and

do not obstruct access to diagnostic ports, or fuse boxes. It should be up in the dash, high enough that it

won't get kicked by accident.

• Once the module is secured, route the wires to the previously stripped wires they correspond to (leave the

engine compartment wires for last). Tie strap them up as you go, so they do not interfere with anything

else.

• When all of the passenger compartment wires are ran to their locations, you can route the engine

compartment wires through the firewall.

• With the engine compartment wires out the way, you can begin making the connections in the passenger

compartment. Strip about an inch of wire past where the connection is going to be made. This extra bit of

wire is wrapped around the exposed OEM wire to secure in place while you are soldering.

• When all of the wires have been connected, solder the connections. When the solder has cooled, the

connections are then individually taped up, to isolate them.
