The Code Alarm CA 501 is a remote keyless entry and remote start system. Your vehicle might already have keyless entry, but very few vehicles come with a remote start system. Both of these functions add convenience to your vehicle. However, anyone who obtains this remote control will be able to drive away with your vehicle. Be sure that you are comfortable with electrical wiring before you start this project.
Open your vehicle's hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal from the negative post.
Mount the control module in an open spot under your dashboard, within 24 inches of the ignition. Mount the module with the included screws.
Mount the hood pin switch under the hood and away from the water drain paths. Use the included brackets to mount it. It must be positioned to be depressed at least 1/4 inch when the hood is closed.
Connect both red +12V wires to the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery. Use the 30-amp fuse in the connection.
Connect the purple wire to the starter in your vehicle.
Connect the pink wire to the ignition 1 output of your vehicle.
Connect the pink/white wire to the ignition 2 output of your vehicle.
Connect the orange wire to the accessory wire from your ignition switch.
Connect the black wire to any metal grounding surface of your vehicle.
Connect the black/white wire to the neutral wire of your vehicle's shifter.
Connect the gray wire to the hood pin switch.

Connect the green/black wire to the output of your factory theft deterrent system, if your vehicle has one.
Connect the green wire to the lock output on your vehicle's door lock control relays.

Connect the two-pin blue connectors together by snapping them into place once all the wiring has been done. Do the same for the three-pin antenna/receiver connector, the two-pin LED connector and the four-pin DBI connector.
Reconnect the negative terminal of your battery and close the hood.
