Step 1 - Making your remote start and bypass wiring connections:
The following table shows you where to connect the wires from your remote start into the car. Any wires on your
remote start that are NOT listed in the table are NOT USED.
Connect to the wire for the circuit on the vehicle chart labeled:
Red/White (6-pin harness)
Pink/White (6-pin harness)
Ignition # 2 (not present on all vehicles)
(+) Parking Lamp (IMPORTANT - SEE NOTE 1)
White/Black (12-pin harness)
(-) Parking Lamp (IMPORTANT - SEE NOTE 1)
System Ground – connect this to a solid metal ground in the car
Black/White (12-pin harness)
Neutral Safety – if you have an automatic transmission, ground this wire
Brown/Red (12-pin harness)
The connections below MAY be needed
Green/Black (12-pin harness)
OEM Alarm Disarm wire in vehicle
Violet/White (12-pin harness)
NOTE 1 The remote start has two parking light wires. You will only use one of them. On your vehicle wiring
chart, look up the wire for the parking lights. Next to the wire color will be either a “+” or a “-“. If yours has
the “+”, then use the white wire. If it has a “-“, use the white/black wire.
NOTE 2 The grey wire is used with a pin switch (included in your kit) to prohibit the remote start from activating
while the hood is open. This is an important safety feature!
NOTE 3 Most vehicles will not require this connection. The remote start has a ‘tach sensing’ circuit built in.
The purpose of that circuit (or the tach wire if you need it) is to enable the remote start to detect when the
engine has started so it will stop cranking the starter. When you test your system, if the starter keeps cranking
after the engine has started, you’ll need to connect the tach wire. Once the wire is connected, take two
additional steps: 1) Change “Installer Feature Programming Option # 3 of the Excalibur to the ‘tach wire’ setting
(see page 11 in the installer’s manual). 2) Program the tach circuit as shown on page 10 of the installation
manual.
-Before proceeding, plug the antenna/programming button/LED into the remote start. See Installer’s Tip #1
-Plug the 4 pin data link connector into the data port of the bypass and the GREEN data port of the RS-351.

-Important: DO NOT use tap connectors on the data wire, solder or wrap and tape this connection.
