Programming Options
RF Programmer
The RF Programmer allows you to customize the system to fit the individual needs of the consumer, using
a handheld device capable of transmitting system settings directly to the system control module. The RF
Programmer is broken down into three different programming banks.
1. RF Programmer Bank. The RF Programmer Bank allows you to set up the base features of the
system you are installing. It is very important to understand that the base features of this system can only
be programmed using the RF Programmer. Please refer to the chart below showing factory default settings
(bold) to determine what options need to be changed for your system. When using the RF Programmer to
select feature settings is very important to verify that the correct base features remain at the default settings.

Manual Feature Programming

After installation is complete it will be necessary to program certain system characteristics that can't be
programmed using the RF Programmer (Shock Sensor settings and Tach Idle Speed). In addition all of
the customer convenience features and remote start features.
 RF Programmer

Selecting Programmable Features

1. Press the POWER button to turn the system ON.

2. Once powered up the MENU screen will be displayed.

3. Use the UP & DN arrows to scroll through the programmable features. Once you locate the desired
feature to change, press the RIGHT arrow to advance to the next screen. You should see the default
setting of the system.

4. Press the SET button to scroll through the available settings. Once the desired setting is shown on
the screen, press the LEFT to return to the feature chart selectable options or press SEND to transmit
to the system you are installing.
NOTE: You must access the RF receive bank on Option programming to SEND the selected information
to the AX 901, please refer to the programming section on the next page. Note that ALL options are
changed simultaneously when pressing send, be sure to have all changed options set each time the RF
Programmer is used.
Using the M1 function

The RF Programmer has a memory function that will allow you to store the most common feature
settings.
1.Once you have selected the settings that you want to store press and hold M1 button for 3 seconds.
A menu will appear which will allow you to select the memory bank you wish to save the desired feature
setting into.

2.Press the SET button to store the setting into memory. The menu will display "Write to memory X".

3. To retrieve a stored feature setting, press and release the M1 button. A menu will appear that will
allow you to select the desired memory bank.

4. Press SET to retrieve the desired stored memory bank. The menu will display "Read from memory
X".

RF Programmer Receive (4 Chirps)

Note: Using the RF Programmer, program all settings prior to following the steps below.

1. With the door open turn the ignition ON.

2. Press and hold the valet/override button.
3. Within 10 seconds the system will chirp (3) three times (If in Transmitter programming simply press
the valet/override button once to advance to the desired feature bank).
4. Press the valet/override button again, The system will chirp (4) four times.
5. Press SEND on the RF Programmer to set all features and setting of this system.
6. The unit will flash the Parking lights and emit (2) Long chirps indicating a successful program.

Manual Feature Bank Programming 3 & 4 (5/6 Chirps) without RF programmer

1. With the door open turn the ignition ON

2. Press and Hold the valet/override button.
3. Within 10 Seconds the system will chirp (3) three times (If in Shock Sensor programming simply
press the valet/override button to advance to the desired feature bank).
4. Use the valet/override button to advance through each option bank. For feature programming
advance to Feature Bank 1 & 2 which is (6) six chirps and (7) seven chirps.
5. Use the transmitter OPT button to scroll through the selections in each feature bank.
6. Press the transmitter LOCK button to change the desired feature. The LED will flash indicating the
changed feature.

NOTE: The system will remain in programming mode as long as the ignition is on and the
door is opened, there is no time limit. To exit programming turn the IGNITION OFF.
 Programming Tach Rate

The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed or tachless option is turned ON. If an attempt is made to
start the vehicle via the remote start without first programming tach, the unit will flash the parking lights 7 times
indicating tach has not been learned and stored. If the tach rate is not properly programmed to the specific vehicle,
the unit may not realize that the vehicle is running in certain instances reengage the starter motor.

The Remote Start unit will learn the tach rate of most vehicle's single coil, multiple coil packs, or single injector.
To learn tach:

1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.

2. Press and release the valet/override button 3 times.
3. Immediately turn the ignition key OFF.
4. Press and hold the valet/override 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/program push-button switch. The parking lights will stay on solid indicating that the
learned tach signal is stored and the unit has exited tach learn mode.

NOTE: If the unit fails to learn tach rate due to an improper tachometer connection or a poor tach source, the
parking lights will not flash. To correct this situation, locate and connect the VIOLET/WHITE wire to the
proper tach signal, and then repeat the tach learn routine.

Tachless Mode

This unit has 2 types of tachless modes for your convenience:

1. Averaging - Averages the last 8 times the customer has cranked the vehicle and uses that value for the
crank output timing.

Note: When using this option you must start the vehicle manually (1 Time) before the system will remote
start.

2. Preset time - You can select the amount of time the unit cranks the vehicle. Refer to the Crank Average/
Crank Time.

 7. ACC. CONNECTOR'S
2 Pin Transponder Control Output: (Yellow Connector)
This output is intended to allow the control of a transponder bypass interface module or transponder
bypass relay.

2 Pin Control Switch: (Red Connector)

The Black & Black w/White Trace wires loaded in the two pin red connector enable the operation of the
Remote Start unit. When the Black w/ White Trace wire is grounded, the remote start unit is operable. When
this wire is open from ground, the remote start is disabled. Drill a 1/4" hole and mount this switch in an easily
accessible location under the driver's dash. This switch needs to be installed for remote start to function

2 Pin Valet/Program/Override Push-Button Switch: (Blue Connector)

The Black & Grey twin lead wires loaded in the two pin blue connector are the ground supply and program/
valet/override input of the Remote Start unit. Drill a 9/32" hole and mount this switch in an easily accessible
location under the driver's dashboard.

4 Pin Antenna/Receiver Connector: (Black Connector)

Mount the supplied antenna/receiver to a clear spot on the vehicle's winshield that will not block the driver's
vision. A good location is usually high on the winshield near the rear view mirror. Be carefule not to mount
the antenna/receiver on any metallic window film, as this will effect system range. Route the antenna/
receiver cable to the control module and plug in to the 4 pin black connector.

4 Pin 2nd Shock Sensor Port: (White Connector)

The Red (+12 volt), Black (ground), Blue (pre-detect) and Green (full trigger when armed) wires loaded into
the white connector shell are the inputs/outputs of the shock sensor.

2 Pin LED Harness: (White Connector)

The Red & Blue wires loaded into the two pin mini white connector control the anode and cathode of the
dash mounted LED. Drill a 1/4" hole and mount the LED in an easy to see location on the dashboard. Be
careful to check to make sure that there is enough clearence behind the panel you are drilling into.

4 Pin Data Interface Port: (Brown Connector)

This 4 pin port is used for Audiovox Door Lock and Transponder Databus Interfaces.
