viper 4103 remote start, '89 535i

i got everything to work. i used the "start by voltage" feature instead of the tach. it work perfect in that setting. doesn't over crank and it starts everytime. not for the little things.

thank you everyone. you've all been a big help!

im trying to get the parking lights to come on when you lock and unlock the doors as well as remote start the car. i hooked up a relay to at least one of the lights but it wont even click. as much as .07 volts dc run through the parking lights wire from the remote start. do i have the wrong relay? it says 60A on the relay but i thought it was a 30A. is it just there is not enough voltage to trigger it?

also i would like to install an anti-grind relay but im not sure how to do that. the other day i turned the key too far after remote starting it from habbit when i didn't have the remote start.

im sorry but your post is confusing me. im pretty sure i have the lights figured out so that's not my issue anymore. and as far as the tach goes i set it to voltage instead of tachometer so i don't have to hook up that wire to my tach. that problem was also solved.

as far as the anti-grind, it will only grind if i accidentally turn the key too far after remote starting. that's what i want to prevent. it's too much of a habbit to turn they key all the way when i get into the car wheather it's running or not.

i think i get it now. what kind of relay do i need though? and a diode between 85 and 86?

Standard automotive Bosch style 30/40 Amp SPDT relay, with 5 wire harness.  Diode is a standard blocking diode. 1N4004 ( or 1N4007 ) will do nicely.

Here is one way to wire the relay :
