Installation and Reference Guide

Thank you for trusting Prestige products! If you are a consumer, please note:
Professional installation is strongly recommended.
This manual assumes the installer has adequate knowledge of the following expertise. Therefore, it does not
cover these topics in detail:
• 12-volt electronics
• Testing and verifying circuits
• Making safe and lasting wiring connections
• Factory ignition, power, lighting, data bus and sensing systems
• Factory systems and components to avoid
• Safe wire routing, circuit protection and product placement
• Access to vehicle-specific technical information

In addition, this manual assumes the installer has the proper tools, skill and facilities to perform a professional installation.
Performing an improper installation could result in damage to the vehicle or its components, improper system function,
unsafe vehicle operation or physical injury. Such instances would not be covered by the vehicle manufacturer's warranty,
nor by Voxx Electronics, Inc.

 Detailed Descriptions: External Components
RF Antenna / LED / Programming Port
The long-range antenna kit (included) plugs into a 6-pin connector on the Prestige module.
1. Mount the supplied antenna/receiver to a clear spot on the vehicle’s windshield that will not
block the driver’s vision. A suitable location is high on the windshield near the rear-view mirror.
2. Be careful not to mount the antenna/receiver on any metallic window film, as this will affect
system range.
3. Route the antenna/receiver cable to the Prestige module, ensuring it does not block or interfere with deployment of
the airbag (if equipped.) Plug into the antenna port.

Data Bus Interface (DBI) Port

The 4-pin Data Bus Interface enables a FlashLogic door lock or transponder interface to connect to and communicate
with the vehicle data bus. The combined system saves installation time as many features that normally require individual
connection can be accessed and controlled through the data bus. Please refer to the D2D (Data to Data) function list
available per vehicle at www.FlashLogic.com.

Telematics Interface / Weblink Programming Port

The 4-pin Telematics port enables a connected interface such as CarLink to expand system control to a smartphone or
tablet. The following features may be able to be activated from a connected device:
• Door Lock Control
• Remote Start
• Trunk Release
• Auxiliary Output*
• Sliding Doors*
Weblink Programming
This port can also be used to connect your FlashLogic Weblink for feature programming and software updating. Once
connected please visit www.flashlogic.com.

* Must be supported by FLCAN

 Quick Reference: System Programming & Diagnostics
Data Port Protocol Selection
The default data port protocol of this model is ADS (iDatalink 2-Way). This model is capable of detecting the correct
data port protocol (ADS or DBI) and automatically configuring Feature Bank 2; Feature 18. To initialize the detection
procedure:
1. Press and hold the valet button.
2. Cycle the vehicle’s Ignition ON/OFF two (2) times.
3. Release the valet button.
Note: This feature is only available on module firmware v2.00 or higher.

Tach Function
When using the GREEN/ORANGE tach wire, the vehicle tach rate must be programmed.

Programming with valet button when tach wire is connected:

1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
2. Press and release the valet button three (3) times.
3. Immediately turn the ignition key OFF.
4. Press and hold the valet button, then start the vehicle using the key.
5. When the unit senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to flash.
6. Allow the vehicle to settle to a normal idle speed.
7. Release the valet push-button switch.

The parking lights will turn on for two (2) seconds and one (1) long chip will indicate that the learned tach signal is stored
and the unit has exited tach learn mode.

Programming without valet button when tach wire is connected:

1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position and start the vehicle's engine.
2. Wait for Engine RPM to lower to a normal idle.
3. Press and hold the vehicle's brake pedal.
4. Press the LOCK button on the OEM remote or the Carlink App.

The vehicle's parking lights will flash seven (7) times to indicate the tach signal has been learned. If the parking lights do
not flash, locate another tach source and repeat steps 1 - 4 above.

Note: Programming tach signal via OEM or Telematics control is only available on Firmware v1.47 or Higher.

Valet Alarm Override (Optional)

The Valet Override procedure will disable the alarm when the remote is not available or has become inoperative. If the
vehicle door is opened without disarming, the alarm will sound and the vehicle will not start when attempting to start
with the key. To disable the alarm:

1. Turn the vehicle ignition to ON.

2. Within five (5) seconds, press and release valet button on antenna one (1) times

The alarm will silence and the vehicle will now start normally with the key.
