I found that the boa system was very sensitive to the distance for setup. I was sitting in the car trying to program the thing 5 or 6 times. After reading a couple of posts I had somebody stand back 10-15 feet while I turned the key to on. Worked like a charm. After is was programmed the range is fine. I don't know why it was so picky for setup.

No they are not pre programmed, but the best way to program it is to stand back fromt he car about 10 feet or so and then try it that shoudl work...kinda of a pain in the butt, but it works alrite....standing back should work... Good Luck

I am having the same problem with the the remote and receiver (the BOA 165B) talking to each other. I know I hooked up all leads properly and I too have a positive triggered parking light so I'll need a relay. (Installing on a 2002 Saturn with no special passive cutoff or alarms).

My main concern is that I have a few leads (H1/1 (-200mA Status Output), H1/2 (Tach), H1/6 (- Remote Start Activation Input), H1/7 (Factory Alarm) and the F (Output to IGN2 Circuit)) that are not needed and not hooked to anything, sitting open circuit currently. Do all of these lead need to be tied high, low, etc to enable this module to function properly or can they be left open? Also for at least the programming of the module portion, do I need to have the parking light flash output (H1/8) tied to a load or can I just monitor it with a multimeter?

thanks.

You dont need to have those hooked up in order for the starter to work, the H1/1 is left untouched, and the H1/7 is left free if yo dont have a factory alarm and the IGN2 is left untoched if you dont have a second ignition wire, but the Tach should be connected if your vehicles voltage doesnt change significantly while the car is running, if the starter is not able to detect the fluctiations in the voltage then you should detenitly hook up the TACH wire so that it knows when the car is running and so that it will not try to crank the engine again if the vehicle has already started...and if im not mistaken on the 165B the parkin light is a negative trigger so you could check with a DMM by connecting it to a +12 volts and the black test lead to the parking wire out of the main unit....OR you could use the tester inlcuded with the system....check the battery in the remote with the DMM and try not to program it from too close,also if the main unit is attached to metal it hurts the range ....Good Luck ...hope i was of some help

Thanks, my car has a significant voltage swing on the output so I should be fine but I may hook it up anyway to have double the security.

I just spoke with the BOA people and they noted that if I just want to test the module and not worry about configuring the remote yet, you just need to take the H1/6 (WHITE/ Blue Remote Start Activation Input) lead and tap it to ground twice and it will trigger the remote start system. Just a piece of advice to share with all who want to confirm their wiring is correct and the module functions properly at least.

I accidentally threw away the manual to this thing (Boa 165b) remote start. I was thinking that the CD would have the nec. Info. Yeah right. No wI have my car all spliced, and don't know which wire to connect where on the brain. (Specifically the six wires on the top that just slide over the connectors.) I have been on hold with directed over 3 hours on diff. occasions and noone has answered the phone yet. The website is a joke... and I'm gettin' spent. Help if U can.

orange (+) 30A output to accesory circuit

REd (+) 30A high current to 12 V

Violet (+) output to starter circuit

Pink (+) output to ignition circuit

Red (+)

Pink/White (+) output to igntion

Blue (-) 200mA status output

Violet/White tach

Brown (+) Brake Switch

I got this Boa system from Best Buy too. Had it installed this week at an installation place. Yea, the range stinks and half the time when we try to remote start it, the lights flash and the doors unlock with no start. Any ideas here?
