Connect the dark green with white trace wire to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay ( or equivalent 30 A
automotive relay ), and wire the remaining relay contacts according to the polarity of the dome light circuit
in the vehicle.
NOTE : When wiring this feature in vehicles with factory equipped delay lighting circuits, it is
best to connect to the output of the timer which feeds the dome light, rather than at the
door switch. This will ensure that the dome light pulses when the alarm is triggered.
Dark Blue Wire : DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 2
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 2.
Black Wire : CHASSIS GROUND
Connect this wire to a solid, metal part of the vehicle’s chassis. Do not confuse this wire with the thin black
antenna wire that exits the control module independently.
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.
Brown Wire : - DOOR TRIGGER
If the vehicle’s courtesy light switches have a ( - ) ground output when the door is opened ( GM and most
Imports ), you must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the door switches.
WARNING : Do not use the brown wire if the vehicle has + 12 volt output type door switches.
( see Purple Wire ).
Light Green Wire : ( - ) INSTANT TRIGGER ZONE 1
This is an instant on ground trigger wire. This wire ( zone ) should be reserved for connection to optional
ground output trigger devices such as motion and / or shock impact sensors.
Dark Green Wire : ( - ) INSTANT TRIGGER ZONE 2
This is an instant on ground trigger wire. It must be connected to the previously installed hood and trunk pin
switches.
2 Pin Blue Connector : VALET SWITCH
Route the grey and black wires in the 2 pin connector from the valet switch to the control module, and plug
it into the mating blue connector on the side of the module.
2 Pin White Connector : DASH MOUNTED L.E.D.
Route the red and blue wires in the 2 pin white connector from the L.E.D. 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.
