Hi. Anyone familiar with this alarm? Audiovox Prestige Platinum+ APS-785C. I tried looking on audiovox's website and I found a manual for the APS-785 (not 785C), but the wire colors in the manual is different than the harness in the box itself. If you know what the wire colors supposed to be or have a link to the correct manual, please post it here. There were no description of the wires on the alarm. Thank you.

The letter C means the product was intended for Circuit City. The Circuit City installers are used to installing product from DEI (Viper, Sidewinder, etc) so Audiovox changed all the wiring to the colors that DEI uses.

You have two basic options here:

1. Go to a Circuit City's install bay and tell one of the installers you'll throw him $5 or maybe 10 for an install manual.

2. You can make do with the regular Prestige APS-785 manual if you have to. (Or a Pursuit PRO-9675FT4; these are all the same alarm.)

Anyway, the wiring locations and programming instructions are the same for the 785C. You'll just have to look VERY carefully at the wiring diagram for the 785..........let's say the wire you need is in the top row, fourth over from the left (for example).......just look over at your 785C and it will be in the same position, just a different color.

Ok,

I got the alarm installed and everything worked fine. You were right about the wiring. I was looking at the wire diagram and comparing it to the harness, not the plug on the brain itself. Anyway on thing that bothers me is the shock sensor is still active when I remote start the car. In the manual, it says it is supposed to shunt the sensor when the remote start is running the car. I know I can easily hook up a relay to disable the sensor, but is there a way to program the brain so it will disable the sensor? Thanks
