Isn't the starter inhibit relay (mentioned in the Prestige installation manual and included with the product) the same as a starter kill? If not, why is doing a starter kill optional and what benifite does it bring about?
From what you guys are saying I am going to need a bypass, is this simple?
If not all the wires are going to be used, how do I know which ones I can leave out?
I am confused by this part of the installation...
YELLOW Wire: Starter Output
Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from starting while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation method. In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all mechanical switch configurations.
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage. In all installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and ensure that the vehicle cannot start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral. In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the Yellow wire will be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 volts in all other ignition switch positions.
NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay, ( when used ) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram. Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the of the neutral safety switch can result in personal injury and property damage.
Does anyone know a better wiring diagram than the one I posted? I either don't understand or don't know what to do for door trigger input, instant trigger input, entry illumination, negative door trigger, External Trigger Input (Connect this wire to a ground pulsed output from the controlling circuit), 300 mA Horn Output, Low Current (-) Ground Headlight Output, 300 mA GROUND OUTPUT WHEN DISARMED - N. O. STARTER DISABLE ( Optional Relay Required ), DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 5, DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 6, DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 7, Pulsed Ground Output Before Start, Pulsed Ground Output After Start, Pulsed Ground Output Before Shutdown, Ground Output During Start (Crank), 2 Pin Transponder Control Output: (Yellow Connector) This output is intended to allow the control of a transponder bypass interface module or transponder bypass relay, parking light flasher feed, parking light flasher output.
I also don't know if my door locks use positive, ground, two step positive switched, or two step ground switched
This would show me how to work with my chip keys without needing to get a bypass, right?
GM VATS Key Override:
If the vehicle has the General Motors VATS system installed, you will need to by-pass the system while the vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. To Do This:
1. Measure the resistance of the resistor pellet on the ignition key then select a resistor within 5% of the key's value from the resistor pack supplied.
2. Locate the pair of VATS wires in the vehicle, usually a pair of thin gauge wires running from the ignition switch to the VATS control module.
NOTE: These wires are typically White w/ Black trace and Violet w/ Yellow trace, however in later model Cadillacs, they are run through an orange sleeve, and are either both Black, both Yellow, or both White wires. Consult the factory service manual for additional information.
3. Connect the Light Blue Wire from the Remote Start Unit to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect terminal #85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source.
4. Cut (#1) wire (as shown), and connect the ignition switch side of the cut wire to terminal #87a of the relay. Connect the other side of the (#1) wire to terminal #30.
5. Connect the previously selected resistor from terminal #87 to the second (#2) wire (as shown). NOTE: The above information and following diagram is for the GM VATS system only. For GM PASS LOCK System you will require the Audiovox AS-PASS II Module.
