Installation Basics
If you are new to installing iDatastart HC Series Remote Starts and/or Alarms, we highly recommended that you thoroughly review this manual to installing your
first unit.

BLACK loop must be cut for AUTOMATIC transmission vehicles.

You must cut the loop to confirm installation into an automatic transmission vehicle. The module will not program to the vehicle or remote start if the loop is not
cut.

Flashing firmware to the HC on the web:

Before you can use your HC, it must be connected to the internet and flashed with firmware tailored to the vehicle you are installing on. To connect to the module
to your computer, you will need the Weblink USB PC programmer (available from your distributor). Then visit http://www.idatalink.com to flash your module.
You will need to create an account if you don’t already have one. You can also program the HC using the Weblink Mobile adapter for iOS or Android. The Weblink
Mobile RS app is available through iTunes or Google Play. PLEASE NOTE: All HC’s are shipped without any firmware loaded at the factory.

Configuring options:
During or after flashing the module online (see above) you can configure programmable options for remote start/Doorlocks/Alarm and more (See Option
Programming Tables). PLEASE NOTE: These options can only be configured online or with our mobile apps.

System programming:
Make sure the CM has been flashed on the web, and that all the required connections have been made.
Plug in all the connectors starting with M1 (Connect M4 first if M1 is not used in your installation. Cycle the vehicle’s ignition ON, the CM led’s will go solid GREEN,
then out. Programming is complete - Perform the Tach learning procedure.

Tach learning procedure:

Learn tach by: (1.) Starting the vehicle with the key, (2.) Press and hold the foot brake, then (3.) Press and release the programming button on the HC - one or
two GREEN flashes (module led) indicates that the vehicle tach signal has been successfully learned. Three or more RED flashes (module led) indicates that the
control module failed to see a proper tach signal. Consult the ‘Tach sensing and learning’ section for more info and parklight flash diagnostics. (These units also
have the option for assumed start).

Remote programming:
If you are adding iDatastart transmitters to your installation, you must code the remotes to the system before they will operate (4 remotes max). Begin by cycling
the ignition ON, then press and release the button on the antenna. Then press and hold the button on the antenna (leds on antenna will come on solid). Press and
release button 1 (half second) on the first remote, and then press and release button 1 (half second) on the second remote. With each button press, the leds on
the antenna will flash. After pressing the last remote, release the antenna button and cycle ignition OFF.
IMPORTANT: Remotes can only be programmed to the main module once all other programming to the vehicle has been completed!

Placement and Use of Components

IMPORTANT: The placement and use of components are critical to the performance of this system.

Antenna and Cable

iDatastart antennas are calibrated for vertical installation at the top of the windshield. The
cable that connects the antenna to the control module must be free from any pinches or
kinks.

Use caution when running cables down a pillar equipped with airbags to avoid obstructing
these devices in the event they are activated. Installing the antenna in areas other than the
windshield may adversely affect the effective transmitting distance of the remotes.

Hood Pin
The hood pin switch triggers the alarm in the event the hood is opened while the alarm
is armed. The hood pin doubles as an important safety feature that prevents the remote
start from engaging while the hood is open.

Option Menu Descriptions

FO = Default Feature Option

1-01 Engine type: Every HC is shipped in manual transmission mode. Tach sensing is our default engine sense option.
FO1 - Gas: Suitable for all gas powered vehicles. This option relies on the input specified in 1-02.
FO2 - Diesel (with glow plug signal): This option uses the hardwired glow plug input (gray/black M3 white connector) to read the (+) glow plug status from
the vehicle. This is usually connected to the signal going to the light in the dash. Once the light goes out and the signal is lost, the vehicle will crank. This
option relies on the input specified in 1-02.
FO3 to F08 - Wait to start delay: Any of these settings will force the remote starter to wait (with ignition on) for the selected time before cranking the
engine. Determine the maximum time required to insure the vehicle’s gloplug are ready, and set the delay accordingly. This option relies on the input
specified in 1-02.

1-02 Engine tach detection: Method used to determine when we need to release start signal.
FO1 - Tach input/data: This option uses a hard wired input (purple/white on the M3 white connector) to read the vehicles RPM’s in order to release the
starter during the remote start process and determine that the engine is running. In some vehicle specific solutions, this signal may be obtained through
the vehicle’s databus (no connection required).
FO3 to F07 - Assumed start (for hybrid): The vehicle will crank for the time specified by your selection. The remote starter will then ‘run’ for the selected
runtime. It does not require a connection to the vehicle other than the main ignition harness.

1-03 Runtime: This feature consists of four different settings for the remote start run time.
FO1 - Runtime of 3min: The remote starter will run for a period of 3 minutes.
FO2 - Runtime of 5min: The remote starter will run for a period of 5 minutes.
FO3 - Runtime of 10min: The remote starter will run for a period of 10 minutes.
FO4 - Runtime of 15min: The remote starter will run for a period of 15 minutes.
FO5 - Runtime of 25min: The remote starter will run for a period of 25 minutes.
FO6 - Runtime of 30min: The remote starter will run for a period of 30 minutes.
FO7 - Runtime of 35min: The remote starter will run for a period of 35 minutes.

1-04 Programmable high power relay #4 (M1 - Pink/White): Controls the function of this wire.
FO1 - Ignition: Follows the behavior of the primary (+) Ignition wire.
FO2 - Accessory: Follows the behavior of the primary (+) Accessory wire.
FO3 - Starter: Follows the behavior of the primary (+) Starter wire.
FO4 - Trunk: Provides a high-current (+) output for trunk release.
FO5 - Parking Lights: Provides a high-current (+) output for parking lights.

1-08 Weather mode: This feature is designed to allow the user to have the HC automatically remote start
at the end of a selected timed cycle. It also be controlled by the thermistor so it will start at a specified
temperature at the end of the timed cycle. Weather mode must also be activated each time between vehicle uses.
Weather mode is cancelled automatically after 24 hours or if the vehicle is started by key or RS.
FO1 - Disable: Weather mode is disabled.
FO2 - Every 2 hours: Will activate every 2 hours and run for the programmed runtime.
FO3 - Every 3 hours: Will activate every 3 hours and run for the programmed runtime.
FO4 - Every 4 hours: Will activate every 4 hours and run for the programmed runtime.
FO5 - With temp sensor: Will activate based on the selected temp settings in menu 1-09, 1-10 and run for the programmed runtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have everything hooked up and the system will not respond.
A: The module must first be flashed on the web before it can be used in a vehicle. If you have already flashed and programmed your control module, you must also
program any transmitters to the system before they can be used. See ‘Installation Basics’.

When remote starting, the parking lights flash 3 times, followed by 1 time (4 total).
A: You must program tach before remote starting. This requires that the foot brake and ignition inputs connected and working properly. See the ‘Tach sensing &
learning’ section.

When remote starting, the parking lights flash 3 times, followed by 7 times (10 total).
A: The system is in Manual Transmission mode. If installing on an automatic vehicle, you must cut the BLACK loop on the control module. If you have already
completed programming, you must cut the loop, then perform a system reset and repeat the programming and tach learn.

Does the HC series have Hybrid mode?

A: YES. For details, review the “Tach sensing and learning” section of this manual.

All my connections are made and remotes programmed, how do I program the tach?
A: Review the “Tach sensing and learning” section of this manual.

The vehicle starts and shuts down 3 times in a row.

A: This usually means that the engine sensing mode is not working correctly. If you are using a coil, change to an injector.
B: Does you vehicle have an immobilizer system which will need to be bypassed for remote start? If using analog firmware, you will be required to take extra steps
to complete your installation. Please contact technical support.

The vehicle cranks but will not start (armed or disarmed).

A: Check ignition switch wiring including starter-kill relay (if installed).
B: Does you vehicle have an immobilizer system which will need to be bypassed for remote start? If using analog firmware, you will be required to take extra steps
to complete your installation. Please contact technical support.

How do I program the auxiliary outputs?

A: You must connect the HC to Weblink via your PC or Weblink Mobile app. Go to menus 4, 5, 6 in the options settings. You can program up to 4 outputs for a
variety of applications. See the “menu Option Descriptions’ section for details.

How do I make the alarm work?

A: The HC’s alarm must be turned on and configured using configuration menu 3-1. See the ‘Option programming tables’ section for details.

I have activated the alarm feature, and whenever I try to arm the vehicle, it chirps the horn 3 times instead of just once.
A: Open zone detected. Check the hood and trunk, and door trigger inputs.

Frequently Asked Questions cont...

I have activated the alarm feature. The vehicle remote starts when disarmed, but not when armed.
A: Did you install a starter kill relay? If so, check to make sure the M1 Violet wire is connected wire is going to the engine side of your vehicles starter wire.

Can I use the wires in the blue 6 pin M5 connector? Is it user programmable?
A: The wires in M6 are controlled in firmware for vehicle specific applications. In full analog, these outputs are disabled.

I don’t have access to the module, how do I learn tach?

A: If you have a transmitter programmed to the system, it can be used to perform a tach learn. Start the vehicle with the key, apply the foot brake, then initiate a
start sequence from the transmitter. The parklights will flash 1 or 2 times to confirm learn. See the ‘Tach sensing and learning’ section for more information.

Why are the ignition controlled doorlocks not working?

A: Once ignition locks have been activated in menu 2-12, then should work automatically. If they don’t, verify that they have not been toggled off using the
transmitter (see transmitter guide). Their may also be a limitation due to the vehicle architecture. Contact technical support for more information.

How do I activate turbo mode?

A: Set menu option 1-12 to enable Turbo mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for user instructions on toggling this feature ON/OFF. Apply the Ebrake
while vehicle is running, remove the key from the ignition. The vehicle will stay running for the programmed turbo time. This feature may not be supported on all
vehicles. Contact technical support for more details.
