OP500 Option Programmer 
 
The OP-500 is the new option programmer for Firstech’s various lines of product. This 
option programmer replaces the CM-3 Series option programmer. Included in the kit is; 
 
1: OP-500 
2: USB interface cable 
3: Antenna cable extension 
 
 
 
Instructions: 
 
Stand Alone Mode 
To use the OP-500 in stand alone mode, simply connect it to the control module via the 
antenna wire. (Use the included extension cable if necessary.) Connect the antenna wire 
to the blue port on the top of the OP500. Once connected, the OP-500 will power up. 
(The control module must have 12v+ and ground.) 
 
To change the option number you wish to program, use the left and right arrow keys on 
the OP-500, it will scroll through then options available in menu 1 and then move to 
menu 2. At the end of menu 2, if you have turned on diesel mode or set one or more of 
the auxiliary outputs to “Latch”, you will have the option to program the duration of the 
diesel timer and/or auxiliary outputs.  
 
You can then use the up and down arrow buttons to adjust the option’s settings. “1” is the 
default setting, and “2” is the optional setting. 
 
When you are done adjusting the various option settings, press and hold the “W” (write) 
button until the OP-500 chirps. This will write the settings to the control module. 
 
 
Note1: The USB interface cable is for future use to connect the OP500 to a 
computer. Once the software for this feature is complete, additional instructions will 
be supplied.
