3. Setup and Installation

Basic installation knowledge of car electronics wiring is required for this product. While the included data module significantly reduces the number of wiring connections typically associated with remote start installations, it is not a plug-and-play system. A small number of specific wiring connections are necessary. Concise directions with wire colors and locations are provided to guide you through the process.

4. Operating Instructions

This remote start system is an add-on to your vehicle's existing keyless entry system. It does not include separate remotes. To activate the remote start function, simply press the "lock" button on your factory remote three times. This allows you to warm or cool your vehicle without needing to carry additional key fobs.

OEM Factory Remotes

For security and to prevent theft, the remote starter is designed to shut down the vehicle automatically if any door is opened after remote starting.

5. Maintenance

The MPC Remote Start System is designed for minimal maintenance. Ensure your vehicle's factory remotes are in good working condition, as they are essential for operating the remote start feature. No specific routine maintenance is required for the remote start module itself.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your remote start system, please refer to the following common points:

  • Vehicle Shutdown: The system is designed to shut down if a door is opened after remote starting. This is a security feature, not a malfunction.
  • No Response: Ensure your factory remote's battery is not depleted. Verify you are pressing the "lock" button three times in quick succession.
  • Installation Issues: Double-check all wiring connections against the provided installation tip sheet. Incorrect connections are a common cause of non-functionality.
