STEP 3: Learn tach. While the vehicle is at idle, hold the foot brake and press and hold the remote start
button on the remote control for 2.5 seconds.
The parking lights will flash once and the siren will chirp once to confirm a good tach signal. The parking
lights will flash three times and the
siren will chirp three times to
indicate the tach did not learn. Two
seconds following the three flashes,
the number of parking light flashes
will indicate the cause of the error:

1 Option 2-10 is not in default setting 1
2 Key is in the off position
3 Bad tach signal. Find a different wire.
Alternator Sensing
Alternator sensing is an alternative method the remote start can utilize to determine if the engine is
running. This is different than the voltage sensing mode so a connection must be made. IMPORTANT:
The remotes must be coded prior to setting up alternator sensing.
STEP 1: Change Option 2-10 to setting 2 - Alternator sensing.
STEP 2: Test wire and make connection. The stator wire is found at the vehicle’s alternator. Change
your multimeter to DC voltage before testing for this wire.
A. At rest, with the ignition off, the stator wire should test 0V DC.
B. Turn the ignition to the run position. The stator wire should now test between 4 – 6V DC.
C. Start the vehicle with the key. The stator wire should now test between 12 – 14V DC at idle.
STEP 3: Process complete – no further programming is required.
Voltage Sensing – (Automatic Transmission Only)
Voltage sensing is an alternative engine sensing mode or tachless mode. It monitors variations in voltage
to determine if the vehicle started successfully. Voltage sensing does not require a connection to the
vehicle other than the main ignition harness and other inputs/outputs. IMPORTANT: The system remotes
must be coded prior to setting up voltage sensing.
STEP 1: Change Option 2-10 to setting 3 - Voltage sensing.
STEP 2: Process complete – there is no further programming required other than adjusting crank time
when necessary (see below).
Adjusting Crank Time: To adjust minimum crank times, refer to Option 2-12. To help ensure successful
starting, the system will automatically add additional crank time to the 2
nd rd
and 3 start attempts. In
addition, there is a built in “Smart Resting Voltage Mode”. The lower the resting voltage, the longer the
crank time becomes (up to 0.4 seconds). This innovative feature helps compensate for severe
temperature variations. Traditional tach sensing is still highly recommended for colder climates.
Timed Crank Setting – (Automatic Transmission Only)
Option 2-10 setting 4 provides a timed 1.5 second crank for the remote start sequence. This option just
cranks the vehicle for 1.5 seconds and assumes remote start has completed. This option can be used for
GM and other vehicles with built in anti-grind systems.
Green/White Loop
This loop wire determines the transmission setting. The default position (uncut loop) is for manual
transmissions. When the loop is cut, the system will be ready for automatic transmissions. In the default

Tach Sensing Method2-01 – This option will adjust the method at which tach is read by the module.
At default the current setting will minimize overcrank.
Turbo Mode
2-02
– This option will adjust the run time after Turbo mode has been engaged.
The e-brake and door trigger input must be connected and the option must be turned on through
the remote for this feature to work.
Diesel Timer
2-03
– Use this option if you can’t find the glow plug wire. You can use setting 2 for a
default wait to start of 10 seconds, otherwise, you can adjust the time to 5 or 15 seconds by
changing the option.
Trigger Start
2-04
– This option changes the number of times required for a negative (-) start input on
Pin 12 of CN3.
Timer Start or Interval Between Cold Start
2-06
- This option dictates the time interval when the
control module will either remote start, either 1.5 or 3 hours.
Default 1: Will start every 3 hours until the vehicle is remote started or started by key and run for 4 minutes.
Option 2: Will start every 1.5 hours until the vehicle is remote started or started by key and run for 4 minutes.
Engine Sensing2-10 – The available options are tach, alternator, voltage sensing, and assume crank.
Review the “Common Procedures” section for complete explanations on the three engine sensing
modes.
Minimum Crank Time
2-12
– This option changes the crank time during the remote start sequence.
Dome Light Delay
3-03
– This option is used when connecting the door trigger input to the vehicles
dome light circuit. It delays the door trigger input to prevent the door open icon displaying on 2
Way remotes upon lock/arm.
Starter-Kill
3-04
– This option determines the mode of the anti-grind/starter-kill relay.
Default 1: Anti-grind + starter-kill
Option 2: Anti-grind only (no starter-kill)
Option 3: Anti-grind + passive starter-kill: starter-kill activates in 45 seconds after ignition is turned off.
Factory Style Alarm3-06 – With this option on the control module will monitor the door triggers. If the
door is opened while locked/armed then the horn will honk if connected. Only available on the
CM5200.
Siren Duration (Upon Alarm Trigger)
3-07
– With this option you can change the siren duration from
30 seconds to 60 seconds.
Horn Output
3-08
– This option will change the behavior of the horn output during lock, unlock, and
remote start. Please see the option table for available options. Only available on the CM5200.
Horn Output When Alarm is Triggered3-09 – This option changes the behavior of the small white
wire on connector 3. This output must first be set to Horn output on option 4-03 before you can
set this option.
Aux 1 Output
4-01
- This option determines the duration of the Aux 1 output. Setting 3 allows the
output duration to be set for a specific length of time.
Aux 2 Output
4-02
- This option determines the duration of the Aux 2 output. Setting 3 allows the
output duration to be set for a specific length of time.

ADS Blade Cartridge Slot and Connector
This is the main feature of the CM5000 and CM5200. The slot gives you the ability to use the Blade-AL
and Blade-TB modules from Firstech and ADS. With these modules you can virtually eliminate all wire
connections between your control module and bypass module. You only need to connect the main
ignition harness and your needed wires on the 20 pin Blade connector. For more information on how to
program and wire the Blade please visit
www.idatalink.com/compustar for the specific wiring diagram for
that vehicle.
Blade system includes:
1. Blade-AL or Blade-TB (NOTE: These modules are blank and must be flashed on your computer.)
2. 20 Pin wiring harness
3. 3 Pin harness used in some installs
IMPORTANT: Install diagrams are not included and must be downloaded from
www.idatalink.com/compustar. When flashing the Blade you can use the Y-Cable OP500 end and not
CM4 Series end. ADS and Firstech recommends using the 4 pin RS232 cable to avoid confusion.
Cartridge must be removed to flash the control module firmware.
NOTE: The ADS-RNG C1, ADS-RNG C2, and ADS-RNG GM3 are not included and must be purchased
separately. The 20 pin Blade connector comes only with the Blade cartridge and not the CM5 control
modules.
WARNING: Manufacturer or seller will have no responsibility for any injuries and/or damages caused by
improper care of the product such as decomposition, conversion, and transform done by a user
voluntarily. WARNING: There should be no wiring routed around any pedals which
can cause a driving hazard.
