Installation Points
Tach Learning
To learn the tach signal:
1. Start the vehicle with the key.
2. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Valet (Control) button.
3. After 3 seconds the system LED will light constant when the tach signal is
learned.
4. Release the Valet (Control) button.
Important: This unit can learn the tachometer with the analog input or
through D2D using an interface module. The unit confirms which source
is used.
When programming tach learning with:
• Analog, the parking lights flash one time
• D2D inerface module, the parking lights flash twice
If the tachometer input on the system is connected to the vehicle, the D2D tachometer
input will be ignored.
Virtual Tach
Note: Virtual tach is not recommended for diesel vehicles.
To program Virtual Tach:
1. After the install is complete, remote start the car.
2. If the car does not start on the first attempt, let the remote start attempt again.
3. Once the car starts, let it run until the parking lights come on.
4. When the parking lights come on, shut off the remote start with the remote -
that’s it! Virtual Tach is programmed.
Virtual Tach handles disengaging the starter motor during remote starting – it does
not address over-rev. If the customer wants to have the over-rev protection capabil-
ity, the tach wire must be connected. This may involve more installation shop
charges than initially quoted.
Important: If the Virtual Tach mode over cranks or doesn't crank the
vehicle long enough to start and run the car, use the Bitwriter to add or
subtract the starter output time. You can adjust the output time in incre-
ments of 50msec of the learned time using the Bitwriter.
Red 4-pin port, Bitwriter/ESP2 or D2D programming
The Red 4-pin plug may be configured as a Bitwriter/ESP2 or D2D port.
The factory default is Bitwriter/ESP2 mode.
To use as D2D mode follow the below steps:
1. Make sure White/Blue activation wire is grounded.
2. Power the unit up. The system LED flashes for 5 seconds to confirm D2D mode
change.
3. Remove the White/Blue wire from ground.
To change from D2D to Bitwriter/ESP2 mode:
1. Make sure the White/Blue activation wire is grounded.
2. Power the unit up, the system LED turns on solid for 5 seconds to confirm Bit-
writer/ESP2 mode change.
3. Remove the White/Blue wire from ground.
The procedure can be repeated to toggle from one mode to the other.
Important: If you power up the system with the White/Blue activation
wire ungrounded, the system LED will come on solid for 5 seconds indi-
cating the system is in Bitwriter/ESP2 mode.
Reset and Deletion
If a feature/virtual tach needs to be reset or the remote controls need to be deleted,
use the following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition to the ON position (The heavy gauge pink wire must be con-
nected).
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Valet button: 2 times if you want to
delete remotes, 3 times to reset features or 4 times to reset virtual tach. These
features are described next.
Delete remotes: This feature erases all remotes from the memory of the
system. This is useful in cases when a customer’s remote is lost or stolen.
Note: This does not reset the programmed features of the system or reset
the Virtual Tach setting.
Reset Features: This resets all features of the system to the factory default
settings.
Note: This feature does not delete the remotes from the system or reset
the Virtual Tach setting
Virtual Tach Reset: Deletes all previously learned values for Virtual Tach,
and on the next remote start sequence the unit begins virtual tach initial-
ization.
Note: The “Zap” feature on the Bitwriter does not reset the Virtual tach
setting.
3. Once you have selected the function step, press the Valet button once more
and hold it. The LED flashes and the horn honks to confirm the selected func-
tional step. Do not release the Valet button
4. While holding the Valet button, press the
button on the remote control. The
horn honks to confirm that the feature has been successfully reset.
Once the feature is reset, the Valet button can be released.
Remote Start Shutdown Diagnostics
To perform shutdown diagnostics:
1. With the ignition Off, press and hold the Valet button.
2. Turn the ignition On and then back Off while holding the Valet button.
3. Release the Valet button.
4. Press and release the Valet button. The LED flashes to report the last
shutdown for one minute or until the ignition is turned on, as shown in the
following table:
LED Flashes Shutdown Mode
1 flash Timed out
2 flashes Over-rev shutdown
3 flashes Low or no RPM, low battery (voltage and virtual tach modes)
4 flashes Transmitter shutdown (or optional push button)
5 flashes (-) Hood Shutdown (H3/4 GRAY)
6 flashes (+) Shutdown (H3/3 BROWN)
7 flashes (-) Neutral safety shutdown (H3/1 BLACK/WHITE)
8 flashes Wait-to-start timed out
