Page 2 Using the RS-623 Remote To ensure that commands are transmitted properly, press the desired button for 2 seconds. A command will not be executed if you do not press the button long enough. The indicator light will flash while transmitting the command. The system can learn up to a maximum of 4 transmitters. Any transmitters can be stored in more than 1 memory slot. When a 5th transmitter is learned the 1st remote is erased (FIFO). The remote included in your kit may differ from the one illustrated.

3 Listing the Available Commands Page 3 Button Function Lock the doors and arm the factory alarm. Unlock the doors and disarm the factory alarm. Open the trunk. Panic ON: press the LOCK button and hold it for at least 4 seconds. Panic OFF: press the UNLOCK button. Start the vehicle. Stop the vehicle (hold button for at least 4 seconds). Set car to idle mode when it is already running. Cold Weather Start feature (see page 9 for more information). Open and close the sliding door (driver side). Only accessible with Chrysler Town & Country , Dodge Grand Caravan , and Volkswagen Routan The remote transmits a visual confirmation by means of an LED. Immediately following a transmission, the LED will flash (single blink) green if the command was successfully received by the system or red if the command was not received. In the case of a start command, the LED provides a first confirmation to acknowledge the command reception by the system then, a second confirmation is sent to indicate if the starting was successful or not.

4 RS-CHLCD 2-way LCD remote start kit with up to 5,000 of range.* The Astrostart RS-CHLCD kit is a complete remote start solution, which includes a 2-way LCD transmitter/receiver and an all-in-one mobile integration module. In the kit, you will find: 1x 5224-RX (Antenna). 1x 5224-TX (2-way transmitter). 1x 5224-TXC (1-way companion transmitter). 1x RF Interconnect Cable. 1x CHALL Chrysler Interface. 1x Xpress Start Plug-In Remote Start. 1x CHTH1 T-Harness. * Range based on line of sight, unobstructed testing in ideal conditions. Actual range will vary due to local conditions including but not limited to environment, terrain, physical obstructions, vehicle location and orientation, interference and other possible impediments. Understanding the RSS-5224 Remote The RSS-5224 is the ultimate 2-way communication 4-button transmitter. It supports multiple channels and vehicles, while providing a vehicle status indicator and command confirmations with graphics, as well as audio tones. A maximum of four remote controls can be assigned to your vehicle. See your dealer for additional remote controls. The range of your remote control can be affected by a weak battery, interference from nearby metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots. If the vehicle is out of range, the transmitter will emit a soft chirp after 3 seconds to indicate that the command has not been received by neither the module nor the transmitter. Page 4 The system can learn up to a maximum of 4 transmitters. Any transmitters can be stored in more than 1 memory slot. When a 5th transmitter is learned the 1st remote is erased (FIFO).

5 Using the RSS-5224 Remote Page 5 To send a command, press the corresponding button for two seconds. The command may not be sent if the button is not pressed long enough. The remote control beeps when a button is pressed, then emits eight short beeps during the transmission, i.e. about one second after the button was pressed. Your remote control can transmit on four different channels, allowing control of four separate vehicles. Only the Panic command is transmitted on ALL channels simultaneously. To select a different channel, press the P button located on the back and hold it for 2 seconds, when the button is released the transmitter passes to the next channel. The remote control shown may differ from the ones included in the kits. Your system may be programmed in such a way that it can distinguish between two groups of remote controls (maximum: two remotes per group). These groups let you activate predefined settings (seat, mirror and other) when unlocking certain vehicles (additional optional equipment required). This feature is available with certain firware only. As soon as a command is sent, the remote switches over to standby mode in order to receive and display confirmations sent by the command module installed in the vehicle. These confirmations are sent to all the programmed remote. These signals are transmitted only once and could be neutralized by radio or electromagnetic interferences generated by electronic devices in the vicinity. If no confirmation is received in a given location, move away from electronic devices and activate the "Status command. The start module will inform you of the status of door locks, alarm (only if the Factory Alarm Trigger Monitoring feature is supported by the firmware), and running of the engine. Note that the communication between the vehicle and the transmitter operates in only one direction at a time. This is why it is recommended to wait for the confirmation before sending another command. Otherwise, the vehicle and the transmitter could transmit at the same time wich would block the command as well as the returned confirmation. Out of Range If the vehicle is out of range, the transmitter will emit a soft chirp after 3 seconds to indicate that the command has not been received by neither the module nor the transmitter. Replacing the Battery The LCD of the 4-button remote has a battery icon telling you when to replace the battery. We strongly recommend keeping a replacement battery in your glove compartment. The remote controls require one AAA battery. See your dealer for spare batteries. To replace the battery, slide the latch sideways and remove the battery cover on the back of the remote control case, remove old battery and replace it with a new one. Make sure the battery is placed the right way (see pictogram inside the cover).

6 Programming the Remote Control Features Page 6 Note that the 1-way transmitter is automatically programmed. To access the 2-way remote control programming mode, press the P button located on the back of the remote and hold it for 5 seconds. The remote beeps once to indicate entering programming mode.

Temporary valet mode if activated a second time during rearming delay. Start confirmation can take a few seconds except if the engine is already running. Refer to the vehicle user manual for more information on confirmations emitted by your vehicle (i.e. the horn and parking lights). These confirmations are different for each vehicle, depending which Bypass is used. Understanding the Confirmations Emitted by the 2-Way Remote The LCD displays the vehicle status at all time, the display is refreshed on every transmission or when the status of the vehicle changes pertaining that the Status confirmation function is enabled. The display shows the last confirmation received.

Two types of confirmations are displayed on the remote: Command confirmation: These confirmations are command acknoledgement, the icon corresponding to the command is displayed to confirm reception of the command. Status confirmations: These confirmations are displayed when the status of a zone, monitored by the system, changes (i.e.: door openning, security system alarm state (only if the Factory Alarm Trigger Monitoring feature is supported by the firmware), etc. - it depends on which firmware you are using). Command confirmations are returned immediatly following a command transmission whereas the status confirmations may be returned up to 12 seconds after the event happened depending on the communication protocol between the hand-held unit and the vehicle. Remarks: When the remote receives a confirmation that is intended to a vehicle other that the one actually selected, most audible confirmations are made more discreet, vehicle icon flashes (1-4) to warn you that the display reflect the status of that specific vehicle. This is only applicable if the Factory Alarm Trigger Monitoring feature is supported by the firmware. When a command is transmitted, the vehicle selection gets back to the previously selected unless the confirmation was related to an alarm condition. In that case the selected vehicle is temporarely changed, to allow stopping the alarm condition without having to change the vehicle selection, then gets back to previously selected when the alarm condition is stopped.
