Autostart SERIAL INTERFACE DVM-2845CI - Manual (Page 2)

Manual or Automatic Transmission
This module may be installed on vehicles with manual or automatic transmissions. It is originally configured for manual
transmissions. If the vehicle you are working on is automatic, it is mandatory to make a few quick and easy modifications before
the unit is connected. In the event that the configuration requires changes afterwards, a complete reset of the unit will
be necessary before those changes become effective.
To install this unit in a vehicle with a manual transmission:
1. Make sure the Yellow loop on the PC board is connected.
2. Connect the Orange handbrake wire located on the 12-pin harness to the vehicle handbrake switch.
3. Connect the Blue/White (+) door input OR the Grey (-) door input wire located on the 12-pin harness to the
vehicle door pin wire, which monitors all the doors of the vehicle (only use 1 of the 2 door trigger inputs).
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.
7. When learning the transmitter, the parking lights will flash 5 times quickly.
8. Upon the first successful remote start, the system will lock the transmission settings to 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 4 times.
5. When learning the transmitter, the parking lights will flash 5 times quickly then give 2 slow flashes.
6. Upon the first successful remote start once the yellow loop has been cut, the system will lock the
transmission settings to automatic mode.
Note: If upon pressing the start / stop button, the parking lights give 3 slow flashes, make sure that the Orange handbrake
wire is not connected and that the yellow loop is cut and isolated.
Transmitter Programming Procedure
1. Enter programming Mode (page-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 and keep it down until the parking lights flash 5 times quickly.
4. The transmitter has been stored in memory.
5. To exit: close the hood. Note: Each unit can store 4 remotes in its memory.
To program a transmitter on the second vehicle for multi-car operation, you must press the trunk button (instead of lock or
UNLOCK) in step 3 of the transmitter programming procedure:_________________________________________________________
Entering Programming Options
Enter programming Mode (page-1) — the parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds.
Before the lights go out, press and hold the brake pedal and then press one of the following buttons: Note: For
vehicles that require the ignition to be turned ON to activate the brake, follow these steps:
a. Turn the ignition ON; The parking lights will turn OFF
b. After 4 seconds the parking lights will turn ON and then press the brake.
LOCK..................................................................to access mode 1;
UNLOCK.............................................................to access mode 2; or
TRUNK................................................................ to access mode 3.
The parking lights will flash and the horn will honk (if programmed) 1, 2 or 3 times to confirm entry into a mode.
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.
LOCK for Option 1,
UNLOCK for Option 2,
TRUNK for Option 3.

Caution!
Only one set of pins can be used at one time. Using more than one jumper may result in serious damage to the vehicle. The
relay output rating on this unit is 25a at most. Defective oem solenoid switches can sometimes draw up to 50 or 60a, causing
the 30a fuse to blow. Always verify your circuit with an appropriate measuring device.
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 starker. Changing the jumper to TACH Threshold
HIGH will allow the module to properly detect the TACH signal.
Testing I
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.
If installed on a MANUAL transmission. 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
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.
2. With the engine already running, apply the parking
brake twice within 10sec.
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 th^arking brake,
press and hold ^3, ^3 orS 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:
• ^3 to lock the doors and shut down the engine;
• ^3 to unlock the doors and shut down the engine;
• CJ to shut down the engine without affecting the doors.
7. The parking lights will flash twice to confirm ready mode activation.
The system will exit ready mode if a door or the hood 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.
I Remote-start the engine and listen for starter drag. If the starker cranks for too long, carry out another tach
programming procedure.
I Hood switch shutdown. With the vehicle running under the remote car starker, open the hood; the vehicle should shut
down. If it does not shut down, check the hood pin-switch and its connector.
Brakes shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, press and release the brake pedal.
The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine 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 run, check the parking brake switch connection.
