WIRING THE SYSTEM
Large 10 Pin Edge Connector :
Red Fused Wire : + 12 VDC Constant Battery Source
This wire controls the sensitivity of the voltage sensing circuit, which detects the turning on of an interior
light when a door is opened. It will also detect the switching on of parking or headlamps, and in many cases
will trigger the alarm when a thermostatically controlled electronic radiator cooling fan switches on.
When installing this system into vehicles with electronic “ after fans “, it is recommended you disable the
voltage sense circuit.
In voltage sensing applications, the closer to the battery that the red wire is connected, the less sensitive
the voltage sense circuitry will be. Moving this connection point to the fuse panel will increase the sensitiv-
ity, and connecting to the courtesy lamp fuse in the vehicle will provide maximum sensitivity of the voltage
sense circuit.
When hardwiring the control module to pin switches at all entry points, the voltage sense circuit must be
disabled. Move dip switch # 2 to the off position, then connect the red wire to a + 12 VDC constant battery
source.
White Wire : + 12 VDC Pulsed Parking Light Output ( 15 Amp Max )
This wire is provided to flash the vehicle’s parking lights. Connect the white wire to the positive side of one
of the vehicle’s parking lights.
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 start-
ing circuit of the vehicle.
2 Dark Blue Wires : Delayed Pulsed Output / Channel 2 ( Optional Device )
Typically Used For Remote Electric Trunk Release Operation, when activated, this output provides a 800
ms closure of the on board relay.
The dark blue wires are controlled via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. These are
the N.O. and COMMON contacts of an on board, 10 Amp relay, so they can be connected to positive or
negative switched circuits.
Connect one of the dark blue wires to the output of the optional device you wish to control, and connect the
other dark blue wire to either chassis ground, or to a fused + 12 VDC battery source, depending on the input
required to activate the device you are controlling.
WARNING ! Never attempt to pull more than 10 Amperes of current through this relay. The circuit
will be damaged. Always check the requirements of accessories prior to connecting
them to the circuit.
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.
Page 3
2 Dark Green w/ White Trace Wires : Entry Illumination
The dark green w/ white trace wires provide the entry lighting, and flash the vehicle’s dome light while the
alarm is sounding. These are NO ( normally open ) and COM ( common ) contacts of an on board, 10 Amp
maximum relay.
Connect one of the dark green w/ white trace wires to the wire in the vehicle that turns on the interior courtesy
light. Connect the other dark green w/ white trace wire to either chassis ground if the vehicle switches ground
to the courtesy lights, or a fused + 12 volt constant battery source if the vehicle switches 12 volts to the
courtesy lights.
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.
White w/ Black Trace Wire : Positive Output to Siren
Route this wire through a rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the siren location.
Connect the white / black wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren to
chassis ground.
Mini 9 Pin Edge Connector :
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.
White w/ Blue Trace Wire : Headlight Output - Arm & Disarm
The white w/ blue trace wire is provided to control the optional headlight illumination feature of the system.
This is a transistorized, low current ( 300 mA ) output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.
This wire provides a 30 second ground signal whenever the system is remotely armed or disarmed.
Connect the white w/ blue trace wire to terminal 86 of the AS 9256 relay ( or an equivalent 30 Amp automotive
relay ), and connect relay terminal 85 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source. Connect relay terminal 87 to one
of the low beam headlight wires in the vehicle, and connect relay terminal 30 to either chassis ground or a
fused ( 15 Amp Min ) + 12 VDC battery source, depending on the polarity of the headlight circuit in the
vehicle.
Yellow Wire : + 12 VDC Ignition Source
Connect this wire to a source that is live when the key is in the on and crank positions. Be sure that this
source is off when the key is in the off position.
Purple Wire : + Door Trigger
If the vehicle’s door courtesy light switches have a + 12 volt output when the door is opened ( some Fords and
some Imports ), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the door switches. In most
cases, the purple wire will only need to be connected to one door switch, no matter how many doors the
vehicle has.
WARNING : Do not use the purple wire if the vehicle has ground output type door switches. ( see Brown
Wire).
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 ).
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.
Page 4
Black w/ White Trace Wire : 300 mA Horn Output
The black w/ white trace wire is provided to beep the vehicle’s horn. This is a transistorized low current
output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle’s horn switch.
If the vehicle uses a + 12 VDC horn switch, then connect the black w/ white trace wire to terminal 86 of the
AS 9256 relay ( or an equivalent 30 Amp automotive relay ), and connect relay terminal 85 to a fused + 12
VDC battery source. Connect relay terminal 87 to the vehicle’s horn switch output, and connect relay termi-
nal 30 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source.
Dark Green w/ Black Trace Wire : Latching Output / Channel 3
The green w/ black trace wire latches to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmit-
ter. This is a transistorized, low current ( 300 mA) output, and should only be used to drive an external relay
coil.
This wire provides an immediate ground signal, and stays at ground for as long as the button(s) on the
keychain transmitter remain pressed.
WARNING ! Connecting the dark green w/ black trace wire to the high current switched output of
trunk release circuits will damage the control module.
Connect the dark green w/ black trace wire to terminal 86 of the AS 9256 relay ( or an equivalent 30 Amp
automotive relay ), and wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 3.
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 (OPTIONAL)
Route the red, black, 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.
Normal Door Lock Operation
6 Pin Door Lock Output Connector :
The orange, blue w/ white tracer, yellow, white, green, and blue wires in the 6 conductor connector are the
contacts of the on board door lock relays. The function of each of these wires is listed below;
Lock Relay
Blue w/ White Trace = N.O. Relay Contact
Dark Green = N.C. Relay Contact
Unlock Relay
Orange = N.O. Relay Contact
Dark Blue = N.C. Relay Contact
Yellow = Common Relay Contact
White = Common Relay Contact
3 Wire Ground Switched Door Lock Circuits :
In these vehicles, the dark green and dark blue door lock wires are not used.
The white and yellow wires must be connected to a chassis ground source.
The blue w/ white stripe wire is the ground pulse “ lock “ output, and should be connected to the negative lock
wire in the vehicle.
The orange wire is the ground pulse “ unlock “ output, and should be connected to the negative unlock wire
in the vehicle.
3 Wire Positive Switched Door Lock Circuits :
In these vehicles, the dark green and dark blue wires are not used.
The orange and blue w/ white stripe wires must be connected to a + 12 volt battery source.
The yellow wire is the positive pulse “ lock “ output, and should be connected to the positive lock wire in the
Page 5
vehicle.
The white wire is the positive pulse “ unlock “ output, and should be connected to the positive unlock wire in
the vehicle.
5 Wire Alternating Door Lock Circuits :
In this application, it is necessary to cut the existing door lock by - pass wires. These wires run from the
master door lock switch to the slave door lock switch, and then on to the door lock motors.
Cut the existing lock wire, and connect the yellow wire to the slave switch or motor side of the cut wire.
Connect the green wire to the master switch side of the cut wire.
Cut the existing unlock wire, and connect the white wire to the slave switch or motor side of the cut wire.
Connect the blue wire to the master switch side of the cut wire.
The orange and blue w/ white stripe wires must be connected to a fused + 12 VDC battery source.
Refer to the door lock wiring supplement for proper connection of these wires into the various locking
circuits available in current vehicles.
6 Pin Door Lock Output Connector :
When wiring for 2 step unlock operation, you must connect the outputs of the on board unlock relay to the
driver’s door lock motor. Wire these outputs as follows;
Orange = N.O. Relay Contact to + 12 VDC Battery
Dark Blue = N.C. Relay Contact to Motor leg switch side
White = Common Relay Contact to Motor leg motor side
Wire the transistorized negative “ all doors unlock “ output directly to the negative unlock wire from the door
lock switch in vehicles with 3 wire ground switched circuits.
In vehicles with 3 wire positive or 5 wire alternating switched circuits, you must add a 30 Amp automotive
relay to provide the “ all doors unlock “ feature.
Red w/ Black & Green w/ Black 2 Pin Red Connector : 2 Step Unlock Connector
The green w/ black tracer wire provides a 300 mA ground pulse output for the all doors unlock signal, and
can be connected to the negative door unlock wire in 3 wire negative switched vehicles.
The red w/ black trace wire provides a low current (300 mA) + 12 VDC source for those applications that
require a relay for the all doors unlock feature. This wire should be connected to the relay coil only. A
separate +12 VDC source must be used for the high current relay contacts.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
Antenna Wire : Be sure to extend the thin black antenna wire to it’s full length, and cable tie into place
where it cannot be damaged. Avoid wrapping this wire around major, high current wire looms.
Adjusting the OPTIONAL Shock Sensor : Using a small screwdriver, gently turn the adjustment screw
fully counterclockwise. ( DO NOT over turn this screw. Maximum rotation for this adjustment is 270° ).
Close the hood and trunk lids, and arm the alarm. Wait 6 seconds for the accessories trigger zone to
stabilize, then firmly strike the rear bumper with the side of a closed fist considering the amount of force
required to break a window.
CAUTION : Never perform this test on the vehicle’s glass, as you may break the window.
Turn the adjustment screw clockwise ( increasing sensitivity ) about ¼ turn and re - test. Repeat this
procedure until the alarm sounds. Ultimately, one very firm strike to the rear bumper will cause the alarm to
sound.
WARNING ! Setting the sensitivity too high can cause false alarms due to noise vibrations from passing
trucks and heavy equipment. To decrease sensitivity, turn the adjustment screw counter clock-
wise.
Wire Dressing : Always wrap the alarm wires in convoluted tubing, or with a spiral wrap of electrical tape.
Secure these looms along the routing using cable ties. This will ensure that the alarm wires are not dam-
aged by falling onto hot or sharp moving surfaces in the vehicle.
Operation : Take a few moments to check off the appropriate option boxes in the owner’s manual, and to
fully explain the operation of the system to your customer.
