I just got off the phone with Directed. I'm not very happy right now - they refused to answer any questions since I installed this myself.
2006 Accord sedan, V6, auto
Viper 5101 remote start
Canmax400 with HON4 firmware
t-harness from bulldog security
My install is as follows:
H3 harness
Solder RED / WHITE in harness PIN 2 to RED wire.
Solder RED / BLACK in harness PIN 9 to RED wire.
Solder RED wire PIN 6 to the white wire in t-harness.
Solder PINK wire PIN 1 to the BLACK / YELLOW wire t-harness.
Solder ORANGE wire PIN 3 to the BLACK/ Red in t-harness.
Solder PINK/WHITE wire PIN 7 to the WHITE/ Red wire in t-harness.
Solder VIOLET wire PIN 4 to starter wire BLACK/ WHITE
PINK/BLACK wire PIN 8 is not used.
Unplug ignition switch (large reddish/brown connector with large wires) under the steering column. Plug t-harness inline.
Remote Start 5 Pin Connector:
Black White wire PIN 1 to ground in car.
From the H1 Harness
Connect the red wire to a 12 volt source. I used the same 12 Volt source as above so the red wire from the 8 pin harness also has this wire connected to it.
Connect the black wire to a ground source. I used the same ground as the 5 wire harness above.
FOR THE CANMAX
4 wires from the 20 pin harness.
Behind the key cylinder is a white 7 pin connector for the immobilizer.
Pin 1 of this harness is the BROWN / yellow wire. (count from there)
Connect the CANMAX pin 14 VIOLET/WHITE wire to PIN 2 on the car using a snap type connector. (RED / BLUE)
Cut the PIN 5 wire on the car in middle. (Manual says its Blue/Orange)
Connect CANMAX pin 16 GRAY to the key side of the wire cut above
Connect CANMAX pin 20 GRAY/BLACK to the car side of wire cut.
Connect CANMAX pin 11 GREEN to the SINGLE CAN DATA wire in the driver's kick panel.
I skipped the horn and parking lights wires.
I also didn't do the hood pin because the CANMAX says that should work through data2data but I don't think it does.
I programmed it for Automatic mode (menu 1/item 1/option 2) and left all other settings to default. I tested all functions and all worked. I had a few instances where it would crank and crank when rs, but never actually start. I would cancel it with the remote then use the key to start it and it would fire right up. I thought maybe it was just a weak battery due to messing with it and having the door open for so long, so I drove it around a while to charge the battery up. I tried to rs again and it fired up fine. The next morning it fired up fine for my wife, but after she got off work, it just cranked and cranked again. That same afternoon, I took it to the dealership to have the radio unlocked (I didn't know the code) and they unhooked the battery. Would that have erased the virtual tach learn?
I redid the virtual tach learning and it seemed to help for a day or so. Now it's back to cranking, cranking, cranking, no start. It'll reset itself and try again. It sounds like it's cranking more than enough time to start, compared to starting it with the key in the ignition. If you drive it for a bit (~5-10 miles), shut it off and try to remote start it, it starts fine. I'm just afraid that it'll wear the battery down from all the cranking. Keep in mind, here lately, outside temps have been 10ºF-40ºF.
Any suggestions on what to do? Change the crank time? I noticed today that the Canmax400 has a tach output. Should I change the Engine checking mode (Menu3/item2) to tachometer instead of virtual tach? I assume I would not need to connect any more wires for this.
Thanks in advance. My wife really wants to be able to go out to a warm car in the mornings.
