i installed this system in a 94 olds bravada everything works except the remote start doesnt work when i try to activate it. the led flashes 5 times and the park lights flash 5 times and thats it there was some diodes in the box. i read something in the instructions about using one when used with alarm do i really need it. and also when u try to remote start it the dash doesnt light up just the led flashes.

If the system is new, you may have to program the remotes for it to work. Audiovox units also usually require you to press the Channel #2 button twice to activate the remote starter. There is also usually two switches for the unit. One is a programming switch and the other a valet switch. Make sure the valet switch is OFF. It shuts down the remote starter portion of the unit, but the keyless functions will still work.

I believe 5 flashes means the tach isn't learned. Either you didn't program it correctly or you haven't hooked up the right wire. The tach is a white wire on top of the coil...

RTFM!!!! if I remember correctly it's Ign. ON, press valet 3 times, turn key off, press and hold valet and start car with key, park lights will flash when tach is learned, release valet if lights stay on for 3 sec. tach is stored. Again RTFM!!!

Well I dont do them everyday but a couple a month wouldnt be an exageration. and Im looking ant the manual as I type this and I show option 7 is Diagnostics as option 7 and Input Check as option 4 with tach as the only option. So not to disagree with your extensive daily knowledge but the facts dont agree. hear is a link to the PDF version javascript:OpenWin('/manuals/installation/APS786_DOC_IM.pdf')

Setting tach is key on, valet 3 times, key off, press and hold valet, start car, lights will flash, release valet, lights stay on for 5 seconds, key off. Setting to voltage will work, program step 4 even tho they don't list it toggle it to two chirps anyway. Do the correct install and use tach setting, it's safer and the right way to do it... ------------- Mike M2
