2010 corolla 80 bit key

i have a few questions to get the rear defroster working is it as easy as connecting one wire? to get the windows to roll up/down would I need a module for this car? I was told that I should not connect the Hood pin because of rust issues. is this true and is it safe to leave it unconnected? my built in shock sensor sucks pretty bad (haven't been able to set it off) is this the general case for these alarms? lastly, this car has a feature that when you go to start the car with a key it automatically takes over cranks however long it feels necessary. can i take advantage of this with the remote start so I dont over crank? thanks!

Defrost- defogger switch, gray 10 pin plug, pin 2 or white 40 pin plug, pin 38. It need a latched ground to control it, set for 8 minutes.

Yes, you do need a module for windows.

Yes, you should connect a hood pin. Whether you do is up to you.

Maybe your shock sensor simply needs adjusting.

Don't worry about over crank, can't happen...

Re -  Hood Pin

An alternative to the hood pin switch is a "mercury switch" or tilt switch.  Newer ones use a roller ball instead of mercury.  No holes to drill and they don't rust and seize up.  They work well in flat terrain but can be a bad choice in places like San Fransisco where the vehicle could be parked on a steep hill.

Search on AU-46 or DEI 8613.

Soldering is fun!
