Virtual Tach System
• Virtual Tach System combines the latest microcontroller technology and a complex algorithm that took years to develop.
VTS is able to effectively monitor the engine starting sequence and release the starter at the right time without physically
connecting the tach wire to the remote starter. The VTS constantly monitors the data and readjusts itself automatically in order
to maximize its capability to start the engine properly in any weather or deteriorating battery condition (automatic transmission
only).
Optional Time Delay Adjustment in Virtual Tach System
Follow these steps to program crank time adjustment, if needed:
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, press and hold the brake pedal and press the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously — the
parking lights will flash 4 times. Do not release the brake pedal.
3. Press the lock button if you wish to increase the time delay or the unlock button if you want to decrease it. The time
delay will be increased or decreased by 50ms. and the parking lights will flash once every time the lock or unlock
button is pressed.
4. Press the trunk button to save the settings you have entered.
5. Release the brake pedal - the time delay programming is now complete.
Multi-speed Tach Programming
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, press and hold the brake pedal and press the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously — the
parking lights will flash 4 times and the siren or horn will chirp 4 times. At that point, release the brake pedal.
3. Start up the engine and allow the vehicle to reach regular engine idle speed.
4. Once the engine is running at normal idle speed, press the brake pedal and keep it down until you hear the parking lights
output click 5 times; the siren will chirp twice.
5. Release the brake pedal —^the tach programming is now complete.
Slren/Horn Honk Timing
Follow these steps to program horn confirmation:
1. Ensure that the hood is up and that the ignition is off.
• Hold the hood pin down for 4 seconds.
• Release the hood pin. The parking lights will come on.
• While the parking lights are on, immediately push and release the hood pin again. ^— The parking lights will stay on for up to
20 seconds.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal, then simultaneously press the unlock and start / stop buttons — the horn will chirp 5
times.
3. Release the brake pedal.
4. To change the timing:
1. To increase the Horn pulse by 3 ms, press the lock button.
2. To decrease the pulse by 3 ms, press the unlock button.
3. To increase the pulse by 10 ms, press the start / stop button.
4. To decrease the pulse by 10 ms, press the trunk button.
5. To save the new settings: press lock and unlock . If 3 chirps are returned, the new settings have been saved.
