About Your System  
The Astra 1000RS is a state-of-the-art remote starting system with an integrated 2-way paging feature.  
With proper installation, this system will provide superior protection and performance for many years to  
come.  
The Astra 1000RS built-in remote start feature is designed to offer maximum convenience by remote  
starting your vehicle’s engine, turning on the heater/air conditioner, and then running for a pre-determined  
time to provide a comfortable environment once you enter your vehicle.  
ScyTek Electronics Inc. and its VENDORS shall not be liable for any accident resulting from the use of this  
equipment. This system is designed to be professionally installed into a car or vehicle in which all items,  
such as parking brake and all associated components, door switches, transmission shift linkage, throttle  
linkage, and all engine safety features, are in perfect working condition.  
DO NOT install Astra 1000RS remote starting system on MANUAL TRANSMISSION in vehicles  
without verifying that the system is in Manual Transmission Mode. If accidentally left in gear  
the vehicle could become a self-propelled threat to life and property.  
DO NOT remote start the vehicle in a closed garage. Make sure that the garage door is open or there is  
adequate ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous CarbonTo  
ensure the safety and security of the system while it is remote started, the Galaxy Starter employs several  
safeguards. In the event the brake pedal is pressed while the engine is remotely running, the remote start  
will immediately shutdown to prevent unauthorized users from attempting to drive the vehicle. The system  
is equipped with a hood pin input to prevent access to the engine compartment while the vehicle is  
remotely running. Finally, the Valet Mode prevents the remote start feature from operating in the event the  
vehicle is to be serviced.

For added safety, the Ignition Door Locking feature allows vehicles equipped with power door lock systems  
to automatically lock the doors when the ignition is turned on. If a door is open when the ignition is turned  
on, the Ignition Door Locking feature is disabled to protect against locking the keys inside the vehicle.  
Ignition Door Unlocking  
For added convenience, this feature automatically unlocks the doors after the ignition key is turned off.  
The Ignition Door Unlocking feature may also be completely disabled if desired.  
Auxiliary Function Output  
The Galaxy Starter system is equipped with an Auxiliary Channel Output which may be used for a variety of  
functions including trunk pop, headlights on, window roll up/down, etc. The output can be programmed to  
be active for as long as you hold the transmitter button, for 10 seconds or it can turn on permanently until  
you press the button again.  
Turbo Timer Feature  
The optional Turbo Timer feature allows vehicles with turbocharged engines to remain running after the  
ignition key is removed, for proper cool-down of the turbocharger. The Turbo Timer feature requires  
connection to the vehicle’s parking brake wire and is compatible with most gasoline powered engines, and  
diesel engines where a glow plug connection is not required.  
To activate the Turbo Timer feature:  
1. Leave the engine running after parking the vehicle.  
2. Set the vehicle’s parking brake.  
· The Turbo Timer will begin a two-minute run cycle to allow the turbocharger to cool down.  
3. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle without pressing the brake.  
To deactivate the Turbo Timer feature:  
1. Turn OFF the ignition.  
2. Press the brake pedal.  
· The Turbo Timer countdown will automatically stop and the engine will shutdown.  
WARNING: the Turbo Timer feature is not intended for use inside garages or other non-ventilated areas.  
Make sure to deactivate the Turbo Timer feature when parking in such areas.  
“Call “ Feature  
The call feature sends a ring to the LCD transmitter. Activate this feature with ignition switch in off position  
and by pressing the valet switch momentarily.

System Installation  
1. Thoroughly read and become familiar with the installation instructions before beginning the  
installation.  
2. Review system contents:  
Main Unit  
One 1-way and one 2-way Transmitters  
Harnesses  
16-Pin main harness 3-Pin door lock harness  
2-Pin LED harness  
2-Pin Override Switch harness  
3. Verify vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection, and starts/idles normally before  
installation.  
4. Determine if vehicle is equipped with a factory theft deterrent system and obtain proper bypass  
module if required.  
5. Find a location to mount the hood pin switch that will not interfere with the opening of the hood,  
and is not in a position that can accumulate water. The hood pin is a safety device that must be  
installed to avoid remote starting during engine servicing.  
6. Verify with the owner, mounting locations for all visible components, including the LED and Valet  
switch.  
7. Verify with the owner, the optional features of the Galaxy Starter and the features that must be  
programmed during installation.  
8. Inspect and perform a function test of all vehicle systems before and after the installation.  
9. Always use a Volt / Ohm meter for testing vehicle circuits. Never use a test light.  
10. Always look before drilling any holes or mounting self-tapping screws. Be sure fuel lines and  
exterior wiring looms are clear as they are often close to the chassis and difficult to see.  
11. Protect all wires running from the engine compartment to the interior of the vehicle by covering  
with electrical tape and split loom tubing. Be sure to use a grommet when routing wires through  
the firewall.  
12. Properly fuse any additional accessories such as window modules, door lock actuators, etc.,  
making sure to power them separate from the alarm module. This will ensure the functionality of  
the security system in the event of an accessory failure.  
Mounting the Control Unit  
The control unit must only be mounted in the interior of the vehicle. Do not mount the main  
unit in the engine compartment. Choose a mounting location that will not be easily accessible  
to a thief, and will not interfere with the operation of any vehicle components such as foot  
pedals, steering column, air vents, seat rails, etc.  
Do not mount the control unit until after setting the internal jumpers and performing a complete  
operation check of the system. After installation is complete and performance verified, the  
control unit can be easily mounted using wire ties through the mounting tabs on the bottom of  
the unit.

Programmable System Options  
The following is a description of the programming options of the system. Some of the program branches  
control more than one option, and may require accessing a particular branch number twice in order to  
program all desired features.  
1. Ignition Door Locking. Selects whether or not the system will automatically lock the doors 5 seconds  
after the ignition key is turned on.  
2. Ignition Door Unlocking. Selects whether or not the system automatically unlocks the doors when  
the ignition is turned off.  
3. Door Unlock Pulse. Selects between one pulse or two pulse operation for the door unlock output.  
Many new import vehicles’ factory door locking systems require two pulses on the proper wire to unlock  
the doors. These systems can be interfaced directly without the use of relays or any additional circuitry  
by programming the system for double unlock pulse.  
4. Door Lock Pulse Length. Selects between a 1, 3 and 0.1 second output for door locking and  
unlocking. Program to 3 seconds for vehicles equipped with vacuum door locking systems.  
5. Aux 1 Mode. Selects from momentary, 10 second timed, or latched operation for Auxiliary 1.
