PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
BEFORE BEGINNING, check all vehicle manufacturer cautions and warnings regarding electrical service (AIR BAGS, ABS
BRAKES, ENGINE / BODY COMPUTER AND BATTERY).
PLAN OUT YOUR INSTALLATION and determine most suitable locations for all components to be placed. These components
include: the module itself, valet/program button, possible relays, and antenna/receiver (RS1, RS3, RS4 and RS7 only, the RS00
model does not include antenna or remotes.) Allow enough wire to create a service loop with strain relief, should servicing be
required. This will also allow easier access and mounting.
DAMAGE to the CoolStart unit resulting from incorrect installation or failure to follow guidelines stated in this book will not be
covered under warranty and will be subject to repair or replacement charges.
USE A VOLT OHM METER to test and locate all connections. Test Lights can damage a vehicle’s computer systems.
ADDITIONAL PARTS, which are not included with this unit, may be needed for your particular vehicle. These items may include
extra relays or Anti-Theft System Bypass modules.

INSTALLATION CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
DO NOT extend the Remote start ignition harness length. Mount the module so that main harness reaches all ignition
switch wiring. Extending these wires could result in poor or improper performance.
DO NOT route any wiring that may become entangled with brake, gas pedals, steering column or any other moving parts
in the vehicle.
DO NOT exceed the rated output current of any circuit on the Remote start module. Failure to observe this warning will
result in damage to the unit not covered under warranty.
DO NOT remote start the vehicle in a closed garage! Make sure that the garage door is open or there is adequate
ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous Carbon Monoxide fumes.

WIRING Low Current 12 Pin Plug
GRAY: (-) NEGATIVE HOOD PIN SWITCH
Connect the Gray wire to a switch that is at ground when the hood is open. If an existing switch is not available, then we
recommend one to be installed. When this wire is grounded, the remote start is inhibited. The unit will not attempt to start
if hood is open.
PINK: (-) GLOW PLUG or (-) Door switch in Manual Transmission Mode (Programmable)
Connect Pink wire to indicator circuit that shows a (-) Signal while the WAIT TO START LAMP is on. When this wire is
used, the system will wait until light turns off before attempting a remote start. Programmable for 10, 15 or 20 second fixed
time delay. Default = Glow Plug Delay
PURPLE: (+) BRAKE RESET
Connect the Purple wire to the side of brake pedal switch that shows 12 volts ONLY when pedal is depressed. This is the
wire that turns off the remote start once the driver’s key is in the Ignition and turned to the ON position.
ORANGE / BLACK: (-) OEM DISARM OUTPUT
This wire provides a Ground pulse to disarm the vehicles' Factory anti-theft system prior to a Remote Start. Connect this
wire to the vehicles' anti-theft disarm wire. This wire is sometimes found coming off the Driver's door key switch or at the
Factory Anti-theft control module. This wire may not be needed if Factory Security only requires a door unlock pulse.
ORANGE: (-) OEM REARM OUTPUT or AUX 2 Output (programmable option 25)
This wire is programmable as OEM Rearm or 2nd Aux output. This provides a ground pulse to rearm the vehicles'
FACTORY anti-theft system after a timed-out or aborted remote start. Connect this wire to the vehicles' anti-theft rearm
wire or to the door pin circuit depending on your requirements. This wire may be needed to pulse the door pin circuit on
vehicles with retained accessory power.
RED / WHITE: TACHOMETER INPUT
When installing the system in Tach mode, this wire must be connected to a valid source of AC voltage. This wire allows
the unit to sense the engine running and control the starter motor.
STATUS LED
ORANGE / WHITE (-) ACC, IGN or AUX 2 OUTPUT (Programmable option 24)
This output is selectable (-) Accessory, (-) Ignition or (-) AUX 2. Default = (-) ACC
BLUE / ORANGE (-) STARTER OUTPUT: Some vehicle require a (-) Start for “Push to Start”.
GREEN (-) START ACTIVATION INPUT or OEM INTERFACE (3 Pulse Lock = Remote Start)
Option 17-1 OEM Interface (3 Pulse Start):
This mode allows the system to Remote Start or Stop with 3 successive Lock pulses. There are 2 Modes of operation.
1. Remote Start thru data (green wire not connected). This feature only works on newer CANBUS vehicle using a
Data Module that supports this feature. With this option you can use both the OEM and Crimestopper remote.
2. Connect the Green input wire to the Negative lock signal wire of the factory system. If your Factory OEM system
does not have this type of signal, then a relay is required.
Option 17-2 Default (-) Neg. Start Activation (1 Pulse Start):
This wire allows an alarm or keyless entry system with a remote Aux channel to activate the Remote Start by sending a
(-) momentary pulse to the Green input wire. This triggers a remote engine start or stop

“SMART TACHLESS” MODE
Your CoolStart system includes a unique voltage monitor called “Smart Tachless” mode. This mode allows this unit to
efficiently start an engine without the use of a tach signal wire. These modules actively monitor the voltage level of the
vehicle to control the starter motor each time a remote start is requested.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
(1) On the rare occasion that “Smart Tachless” mode does not operate satisfactorily, change the voltage reference level
as described below, or use a different mode such as “Tach” mode, or “Timed Crank” mode.
NOTE: This Smart Tachless adjustment feature is not available on the RS00 Model that has no remote
transmitters or antenna. If you must use this feature on a RS00, then a remote and an antenna module from an
RS3 or RS4 must be used to set the desired level. Once programmed, remove antenna.
11
TACH FINDER & USEFUL TIPS
TACH FINDER MODE:
This Tach Finder mode can assist in locating a Tach source for your installation. When following the steps, the unit will
begin to flash the parking lights if you have the Red/White wire connected to a tach source. If lights do not flash, then try
another wire until you locate a tach signal that will cause the Parking lights to flash. NOTE: On some vehicles equipped
with daytime running lights, it may be difficult to see any flashing parking lights. In this case your only notification will be
the slight “ticking” sound coming from the module’s flashing light relay.
12
TACH PROGRAMMING & TACH SIGNALS
INTRODUCTION
This system has 3 methods of monitoring the engine running. Option #1 controls how the system monitors the engine
running.
1. Tach Reference Mode – Monitors Engine R.P.M. - Most reliable method, see Tach programming below.
2. Tachless Mode - Default. When vehicle is remote started, the battery voltage rate will go up because the Alternator
starts working. The Tachless Mode is adjustable in 1% increments thru Option 21.
3. Not Used.
4. Hybrid Mode – For electric motors that are computer controlled. This provides a 4 second crank output to activate
the start sequence on Hybrid vehicle. Don’t use on vehicles with gas or diesel engine, doesn’t monitor stalled engine
or low battery voltage.
13
DIESEL GLOW PLUG DELAY
This feature provides a solution for diesel vehicles without having to connect to the Glow Plug-Wait to Start Circuit. This
may be needed for various reasons. If your vehicle does not have a viable Wait to Start Circuit, or you cannot locate and
identify the circuit, then change your system to Diesel Glow Plug Delay mode. You can choose from a selection of pre-
cranking delay times. Once this mode is activated, the system will NO LONGER monitor the PINK glow plug input wire
and will use a delay setting chosen by the installer in the option chart.
NOTES: This feature is OFF by default and must be programmed before use. Once this feature is turned ON, the Pink
Glow plug input wire is not used. The Remote start unit will always wait the programmed time before cranking EVEN IF
the glow plug warms up first. There are 3 different Delay times available for use: 10, 15, or 20 seconds. SEE OPTION
PROGRAMMING CHART on Pages 15-16.
OPTION PROGRAMMING
This system has 28 programmable options to customize operating features and installer preferences. You may change
one option at a time, or program multiple options in one session. If you start with the lowest option and continue on to
higher options, you do not need to repeat steps #1-3 each time. For example, you can change Option #2 to “ON”, then
you can continue pressing the program button to get to a higher number option and change it as well.
To Engage Option Programming:
1. Turn Ignition Key to the ON position. Do not start vehicle.
2. Press the Program / Valet button 5 times. Wait for the unit to flash the lights and/or horn honk 5 times.
3. Push the valet program button the number of times that corresponds to the option number desired (1-28X). You must
get a light flash and/or honk after each button press. If the system did not flash the lights and/or honk, then it did not
register your press. Press carefully and do not lose count.
4. For RS3, RS4, RS7: When you reach the desired option #, to change the option: Press button #1 Lock, #2 Unlock,
#3 Trunk, #4 Start. (Some option numbers use ALL 4 remote buttons to select settings)
5. For RS00, RS1: (No Lock button) Tap the brake pedal to toggle through the option values: Tap brake once (lights
flash 1X) Tap the brake pedal again (Lights flash 2X) tap 3 or 4 times for options that have 3 or 4 values.
6. When finished, turn Ignition OFF, and check for changed features.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION MODE
MANUAL TRANSMISSION INSTALLATION: OPTION 11
TACH WIRE = White/Red must be connected and programmed. (Default = Tachless Mode)
PINK WIRE = (-) Door Switch (default = Glow Plug)
GREEN WIRE = (-) Hand Brake (default = OEM Start)
After programming Option 11-1, 11-3 or 11-4 for manual transmission mode, the Door Trigger and Hand Brake wire must
be connected for the manual transmission remote start procedure. The Pink “Glow Plug” wire becomes a Door Pin input
and the Green “OEM Start” wire becomes a Hand Brake input that must be used for the manual transmission remote start
procedure. A Databus module can also supply the Door, Hand Brake status and Tach signal on most late model vehicles.
Please check Databus module features before connecting door and hand brake wires. A door opening will now cancel a
remote start that was previously “set-up” by the user. The Hand Brake and Door Trigger is a safety feature to cancel a
remote start. Note: You can’t use the interior lights as a door trigger if the interior lights turn on with ignition off.
OPTION 11 – TRANSMISSION TYPE: Manual Transmission Requires Tach Wire Connected and programmed.
This option selects automatic or manual transmission mode – 3 Choices of operation.

CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY FEATURES
KEYLESS ENTRY (Power Door Locks, may require Data Module - Optional)
This system enables you to remotely lock and unlock the vehicle’s doors (if equipped with power locks) via remote
control for safety and convenience. Note: This feature may require extra labor and/or parts to install. Press the
Lock or Unlock transmitter button as you leave or come near the vehicle. Parking lights will flash once for Lock and
twice for Unlock. The parking lights will turn on for 30 seconds with Unlock to assist in locating and providing
illumination near your vehicle when approaching at night for safety. The parking light also turns off with ignition on. If
vehicle is running by the remote start system, the lights will flash, but return back to solid.
AUTO LOCK / UNLOCK (Option # 2)
The Auto Lock feature controls whether the doors will automatically lock/unlock on your vehicle when driving or with
turning the Ignition ON/OFF. If the Auto Lock feature is turned on, and your system is in “Tach” mode, then the
doors should automatically lock as the engine RPM’s increase (driving). If the Auto Lock feature is turned on, and
your system is in “Smart Tachless” mode, then the doors will lock a few seconds after the Ignition is turned on.
When the Auto Lock feature is turned on, the system will always unlock the doors when the Ignition is turned off.
With this feature turned OFF, the system will not automatically lock or unlock the vehicle. See your installer for
programming information on this feature.
HORN CHIRPS (Option # 7, 13 & 16)
If vehicle horns are connected to the system, they will provide audible confirmation chirps for lock and unlock and
remote start. The chirp sound can be programmed from short to long to adjust for different sounding horns. Pressing
the Lock or Unlock button (Programmable option for 1 or 2 Press) will provide a horn chirp for audible confirmation.
The system can also be programmed to provide 3 chirps when a remote start is requested using the remote. Note:
Horn honk/chirp feature may require extra labor and/or parts to install.
Option 7 = Chirps with Remote Start On/Off.
Option 13 = 1 or 2 button press for Chirp with Lock / Unlock.
Option 16 = Short, medium or long Chirp Pulse (15, 20 or 40 milliseconds).
OEM ALARM INTERFACE (May require optional Databus Module)
This feature is designed to Disarm and Re-arm Factory equipped security systems in conjunction with remote start
and keyless entry (if needed for your vehicle). This feature will maintain the original integrity and security of your
vehicle’s factory equipped systems before, during, or after remote start. Some vehicles require an optional Databus
module to operate a factory alarm or keyless entry.

CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY FEATURES
REMOTE TRUNK RELEASE OR DOMELIGHT ILLUMINATION (Option 9)
This system includes an output that can be programmed to remotely release a factory electronic trunk or illuminate
the interior light when you unlock your vehicle for lighted entry at night. If you have the optional trunk pop installed,
simply press and release the Trunk Button #3 on the transmitter to remotely open trunk. If your system is
programmed for Dome Light illumination, then it will work automatically lighting the dome light for 30 seconds when
you unlock your vehicle via the remote. The dome light will turn off after 30 seconds, or turning the key on
(whichever comes first). To eliminate the possibility of accidentally opening the trunk, there are (3) options for
button press selection. This option will allow you to change whether the Trunk release activates by a:
1. Double press (2 x ½ second presses).
2. Single ½ second press. *Default*
3. Press and Hold 2 seconds. This output stays on until trunk button is released.
VALET MODE
Before servicing your vehicle or handing the keys over to a Valet we recommend putting the unit into Valet Mode.
The Remote Start function WILL NOT operate when in Valet Mode.
1. To Activate Valet Mode Manually: Turn the ignition on and press the Valet button [about 5-6 seconds] until
the LED turns on solid. Repeat the process to exit VALET mode.
2. To Activate Valet Mode with the Remote (Selectable Option 27): Default = Press & Hold
Press both the Lock and Unlock Buttons and hold together for about 3-4 (or double press)
seconds until 3 chirps are heard (horn must be connected for chirps). Repeat this step to exit via the remote
transmitter. Lock / Unlock and AUX features will still operate in VALET Mode however Remote Start is
inhibited.
HOOD OPEN SAFETY (Requires hood pin switch)
This prevents remote starting engine when hood is open. It eliminates risk of injury to someone working under the
hood of the vehicle with a properly working hood pin installed. If Remote Start button is pressed with the hood open,
the parking lights will flash twice and the unit will not attempt a start. The system will abort Remote Start any time
the hood is opened. See Remote Start Diagnostics on page 19.
BRAKE PEDAL RESET:
Prevents remote starting or turns off a remote started vehicle when the brake pedal is pressed. This prevents
Unauthorized Driving of Vehicle. This circuit shuts the system down immediately when brake pedal is pressed. Turn
the ignition key to the “ON” position before the brake pedal is pressed.

2 VEHICLE OPERATION
Your remotes have the ability to control a second vehicle with a Crimestopper system installed.
To set up the 2-Vehicle operation you must first program your remotes to Vehicle #2. Follow the “Transmitter
Programming” steps (Pg. 15) at the second vehicle and learn YOUR remote, along with vehicle #2’s existing
remotes.
2-VEHCLE NOTES:
(1) You do not have to switch between Vehicle “1” and “2” to get pages from each vehicle. Your remote pager
will receive pages from both cars regardless of which vehicle the pager is set to. The “1” or “2” icon will always
display with each page indicate which vehicle the page originated from.
(2) All 1-Way and 2-Way Pagers for that vehicle must be learned at the time of programming (up to 4). When you
program your remote at the second vehicle, that vehicle’s original remote must also be programmed. Your remote
should be set in Vehicle “2” and the vehicle’s original remote should be set in Vehicle “1”.
Note: Use can use Vehicle 2 Mode to turn off remote if there is no system installed in a 2nd vehicle.
AM SYSTEMS: Option 27-1 must be selected for 2-Vehicle Mode

NO FACTORY KEYLESS ENTRY AFTER REMOTE START
Most new cars Do Not allow the factory Remote Keyless Entry to function with the Ignition ON. This means you can’t
use the factory remote to lock or unlock the doors. After remote start you have to use the keys to unlock the door.
Also, many new vehicles unlock the doors when disarming the factory alarm. This leaves the doors unlocked while
Remote Started. To resolve this problem, have your installer connect the door locks to the Remote Start Keyless
Entry. The Remote Starter will Re-Lock the doors after remote starting (programmable).
When you return to a remote started vehicle, just press the Unlock button on the remote control. On RS1-G5, the
Start button can be programmed to unlock the doors (option 23-1), Consult your installer.
Note: There are 3 Remote Start Options (see page 7). The options are: 1/2 second press (Default), 2 second
press or Double button press.
Be sure to tell your installer the Diagnostic code when taking vehicle in for service

2-Way DATA PORT
Some vehicles require a Databus Module to Bypass the factory Immobilizer and operate the keyless entry
Databus modules are used to communicate with the vehicles computer at the OBD2 Data connector or Canbus
wires. This reduces installation error. Crimestopper Systems with DP Series have a direct Data Port Plug-In for
the Databus bypass module. This eliminates conventional wiring between the Alarm/Remote Starter and the
bypass interface module.
Features Include
• Transponder Immobilizer.
• PassLock Immobilizer.
• O.E.M. Alarm Control.
• R.A.P. Shutdown.
• Power Door Locks.
• Priority Unlock.
• Trunk Release.
• Sliding Doors.
• Parking Lights.
• Courtesy Lights.
• Tachometer.
• Heated Seats.
• Rear Defrost.
• Driver 1 and 2 Memory presets.
The actual features controlled depend on the vehicle and Databus module.
