Autostart AS-6850VTW-FM - Manual (Page 2)

4. Make sure the Purple TACH wire is plugged in - the purple TACH wire MUST be hooked up when the module is set for a manual
transmission.
5. Make all your regular connections.
6. Power up the unit by first inserting the 5-pin connector, then the 6-pin connector and finally the 12-pin connector. The parking lights
will flash 4 times to confirm that the unit is in Manual mode.
To install this unit in a vehicle with an automatic transmission;
1. Cut the loop on the pc board (Yellow wire).
2. Make sure the Orange handbrake wire is not connected to any of the vehicle circuits.
3. Make all the regular connections.
4. Power up the unit. The parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the unit is in Automatic mode.
If you wish to put the unit back in Manual transmission mode, reconnect the loop at any time. There is no need to reset the module.
Warning for automatic transmissions: If the parking lights flash 15 times upon pressing the START/ STOP button, make sure
the Orange handbrake wire is not connected, then put the system in and out of Valet Mode (remote valet, ignition valet or using
the valet switch; for more details, consult the user guide) or simply reset the system.
Resetting the Module________________________________________________________
WARNING! By resetting the module, all programmed values are erased — i.e.: tach, transmitter as well as
programming options. The programming options are returned to their default values.
1. Flash the hood pin (see p. 1).
2. Once having reached the programming mode, quickly press and release the brake pedal until the parking lights flash 8
times.
Transmitter Programming Procedure
1. Flash the hood pin (see p. 1)—the parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds.
2. Before the lights go out, turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position and immediately to the OFF position.
3. Press and hold the LOCK button until you hear 3 beeps, the siren or horn chirps twice and the parking lights flash 5 times
quickly.
4. The transmitter has been stored in memory.
5. To exit: close the hood. Please note that each unit can store 4 remotes in its memory.
Note: When finishing the programming operation of the LCD transmitter, make sure that the message “LRN-OK” is displayed on
the screen. In order to re-program the same transmitter, you will need to press the FUNCTION button immediately after hearing 3
beeps from the remote. The same “LRN-OK” message will then be displayed again, to confirm that the re-programming
operation was successful.
To program a transmitter on a second vehicle for multi-car operation, you must press the TRUNK button (instead of LOCK) in
step 3 of the transmitter programming procedure.
Entering Programming Options
1. Flash the hood pin switch (see p.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 then press one of the following buttons:
LOCK...............................................to access mode 1; TRUNK........................................to access mode 3; or
UNLOCK......................................... to access mode 2; START/STOP..................................to access mode 4.
3. The parking lights will flash and the horn will honk (if programmed) once, twice, three or four times to confirm entry into a
mode.
4. Release the brake pedal.
Once the desired mode has been selected, the unit will fall (by default) into function #1 of that mode; you can now select the option you
want in function 1. Once this option has been chosen, the unit will move on to function 2 of the mode selected, and so on.

Tach jumper settings
Some new vehicles have a higher TACH voltage threshold,
which would fall out of the normal TACH trigger circuit of the
remote car starter. Changing the jumper to TACH Threshold
HIGH will allow the module to properly detect the TACH signal.
Testing
Before putting back the vehicle together, it is recommended to
check that the system operates properly. The following testing
procedures should be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. Before testing, make sure that all
connections are soldered and that the unit is plugged in.
Make sure the system properly enters and exits ready mode;
Ready mode is a sequence of steps that must be followed in order to allow manual transmission vehicles to be
remote started. To get into ready mode:
If Ready Mode is enabled by remote If Ready Mode is enabled by handbrake
1. Ensure that all the doors, hood and trunk are closed. Make sure that the gear selector Is In the neutral position.
2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake
once and release the brake pedal.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake
twice and release the brake pedal.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and
remain lit.
Skip to step 4.
3. Within 20 sec. of engaging the parking brake, press and
hold LOCK, UNLOCK or START/STOP on the transmitter.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and
remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the engine will continue running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood and trunk.
6. Press for approx. 1 second either:
a. LOCK to lock the doors and shut down the engine;
b. UNLOCK to unlock the doors and shut down the engine;
c. START/STOP to shut down the engine without affecting the doors.
The system will exit ready mode if a door, the hood or the trunk is opened, if the brake pedal is pressed, if the
parking brake is disengaged or if the ignition key is turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN ) position.
□ Remote-start the engine and listen for starter drag. If the starter cranks for too long, carry out another tach
programming procedure.
□ Hood switch shutdown. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, open the hood; the vehicle
should shut down. If it does not shut down, check the hood pin-switch and its connector.
□ Brake shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, press and release the brake
pedal. The engine should shut down immediately. If it continues to run, check the brake switch connection.
□ Parking brake shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running under remote start, disengage the parking brake.
The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues to r^n, check the parking brake switch
connection.
□ OEM alarm control. Make sure the module is able to arm and disarm the oem alarm (if applicable).
□ Door locks and trunk testing. Make sure each of these options respond to the transmitter (if installed).
□ Door pin shutdown circuit. Make sure the system exits ready mode when each door is opened. (Test each
door.)
□ Starter kill option. Sit inside the vehicle with all doors closed. Arm the vehicle, then try to start the engine with
the key. The engine should not start. If the engine starts, rewire the starter kill to reach proper operation.
□ Valet mode. Make sure the remote car starter is able to properly enter and exit valet mode. When setting the
remote car starter into valet mode, pressing the lock button will lock the doors without activating the starter kill.
(Refer to the user guide for further information on valet mode.)
