01 nissan pathfinder, remote start

Alright..using a Scytek/Galaxy 5000RS with remote start along with a 556U. At this point I haven't wired in the 556U to not add more variables into the mix. Remote Start wires are Starter Output, Ignition 1 Output, Accessory Output, Ignition 2 Output, 12V Output #1 (passes to the Starter Output), and 12V Output #2 (passes to the Ignition Outputs). Wiring as follows: Starter to BLACK / YELLOW at IGN Ignition 1 to BLACK/ White at IGN Ignition 2 to RED / Yellow at IGN Accessory to WHITE/ Blue at IGN 12V Outputs to WHITE/ Green at IGN Here is the problem. Leaving the key in the IGN (in chime position) the remote start will crank the car, no start. Same result with accessory 1, 2, 3 and ignition postions. If I put the key in the start mode when the remote start is cranking, the car stars. Interestingly enough, when I put the car in Nuetral, start the car, and then turn the car off and back the key out to Accessory 1 (it wont go further unless the car is in park) then the car will now srart fine with the remote start..consistantly too. When put back into park, the key removed, reinstered..the car again cranks with remote start. Btw, the 556U has a trigger key insertion wire..awsome idea to prevent the double key problems. I'm assuming here that when the OEM Key is put into starter mode, somehow a signal is passed to the immobilizer to disable it? When the key is only inserted (not any different than using only the 556U) the immobilizer isnt bypassed. Am I missing a wire here guys? There are some defenitely flawed wiring diagrams for the 01 Pathfinder floating around here.

I think you forgot the second starter wire. ( aka Cold start wire)

Yess is accurate you just need TO READ ALL THE DOCUMENT, before trying to install it , it talks about the second starter wire down by the NOTES.

Is up to the installer to test all wires with a DMM whenever possible.

You got it. I was just reading a bit about second start wires..just noticed it. I see is just another 12V required wire. Do I use a relay to hand if off power, or is it OK to bridge the BLACK / YELLOW and RED / Black circuits? Also, wanted to get your opinion on the Tach sens wire...the alarm doesnt require it (it cranks 4 times at 0.5 seconds until it sees 14V voltage) ...though I believe in cold weather is may be an issue. Do you think its worth hooking up? The post mentions the following, but I've had hell of a time trying to find it. * Engine Control Module Located Behind Driver Dash Right Of Steering Column. Note From Installer: Tach Listed Did Not Work, Proper Connection Is A BLACK/ WHITE At Tacho Module Located Left Of Steering Column In The Top Plug. #239 See Immobilizer Bypass Diagram.

12volts	WHITE/ green	+	ignition harness
Starter	BLACK / YELLOW	+	ignition harness
Second Starter	RED / black	+	ignition harness
Ignition	BLACK/ white	+	ignition harness
Second Ignition
Third Ignition
Accessory	WHITE/ blue	+	ignition harness
Second Accessory	RED / yellow	+	ignition harness

you can use 2 diodes 6amp in paralel for second starthow own your mind, control your life.

MECP certified. always use a DMM
