Remote Start Questions...

ya sorry bout that but the way it was labeled in my manual was as an 'ECM wake up' or 'Bulb Test' wire, nothing about cranking. I looked a little deeper and learned that it is actually sending a ground during pulse.

No big deal...as long as it's only active during crank...you're good to go.

ya theres a 4-pin aux. harness thats described as only overriding all the factory alarm features. but once you read what signal it actually sends out, guess you can do whatever you want with it.

again thanx for all your help guys, ill let you know when were up and running

funny thing today,

Since i still have to buy the immobilizer bypass, I had put off the rest of the install until i was bored enough today to go ahead and wire the rest. And just for sits and giggles i decided to try it out and see what happens, and sure enough, darn thing fired right up! no key bypass! are there some trucks with chips and some without? does this have anything to do with how basic my truck was when i bought it? (no power windows/locks)

what ever the reason, glad i saved that $$!

Wow...news to me. I know the Frontier XEs didn't have chips...but I didn't know about the Titans. Glad to hear you saved some $.

Hello again gentlemen. I forgot what a pain remote start systems are, so when the afore mentioned unit went out last month, i bought a new unit, hoping the wiring would be an easy swap.
For the most part it was, but i'm stuck on a couple wires:
1. The previous unit had wire that provided a "ground output when armed" to the starter inhibit relay terminal #86. The new unit didn't include the starter inhibit relay instructions, and doesn't offer a "ground output when armed" wire. Where do I connect this wire? Or do I need to? Image attached.
2. The new unit has a yellow/black "+12 vold alarm by-pass output" and instructs to connect it to the "ignition input of the alarm system". I just want to confirm that this means to connect it directly to the Blue Ignition wire.
3. There is another relay from the previous unit that has the following connections:
#86 & #30 joined and connected to BAT1
#87 connected to Ignition 2
#87a unused
#85 that used to connect to "Ground output during start/crank". The new unit does have a similar optional output, so common sense tells me to connect it, but with all the other discrepancies, I just want to confirm that it is still necessary.
Thanks again for your help!
