1998 acura rl 3.5L. Autopage c3-rs-730 lcd, installation wiring diagram and for by-pass module (555d - dei).

I have found this site extremely helpful so I am hoping this will help people in return. There are several inconsistencies from the diagrams I have obtained so hopefully this help clear it up.

I have completed and tested remote starter system with KEY in ignition(off postion), everything works fine.   I have located the immobilizer control unit(left of steering column, 8 -pin and 3 pin). I have installed AUTOPAGE C3-RS-730 LCD "MULTI-COLOR" remote starter with 555D. BEAR IN MIND ALL ARE IN REFERENCE TO AUTOPAGE SET UP.

DOOR LOCK : green connector passenger kick panel. GRN/RED (-)
DOOR UNLOCK : green connector passenger kick panel. GRN/WHTE (-)
DOOR TRIGGER: blue connector passenger kick panel, next to green connector. BLUE/RED (-).
TRUNK RELEASE : grey connector passenger kick panel, below green connector. WHT/BLK(-) requires 87 module bc 12volts travels throught when truck release is pressed.
**TACH** the blue wire from cluster - 1st green connector when you are removing the cluster. ALSO blue wire connector behind the gray connector on passenger kick panel.. this wire will test 13-14volts with key on ON position and 6-7volts once car is started and running. * acura's volts will not increase when gas pedal is depressed.*

Unfortunately the 555D did not come with proper diagram for RL.
Here is the wire diagram from Immobilizer Control Unit:
Battery In : A1---YEL/BLK -
P/IN       : A2--GRY
ST CUT RLY CTR L   : A3 --WHT/RED
IGN IN    : A4 --(BLK/YEL)-diagram shows that but in veh its YEL/BLK, you can test this wire by putting KEY on ON position will have 12 volts, its the second YEL/BLK wire, closes to steering column.
IMBL IND LGHT CTRL: A5--PNK
IMBL SIG OUT        : A6--WHT
PARK BRAKE IN        : A7--GRN/RED
GROUND : A8--BLK

IMBL RCVR IN :B1--WHT --to-- 1 on Immobilizer receiver (underside
SHLD GRND :B2--BLK of steering column)
IMBLE RCVR IN        :B3--ORG   --to --3

Wiring diagram for 555D: I have attached the following wires to get the 555D to work.

RED 12V+ -- CONSTANT --
BLACK      -- GROUND    --
BLUE remote start input(STATUS) -- connected to remote starter status   output wire FROM REMOTE STARTER. ***this has to be programmed from installation guide to OUTPUT STATUS***
GREEN      --KEY SENSE-- wire gets 12volt until key is inserted then goes to zero volts.
YELLOW/BLACK -- DATA WIRE --- data wire towards key cylinder - connect to A6 from above.
YELLOW -- DATA WIRE --- data wire towards imlb ctrl unit- connect to A6 from above.
BROWN -- DATA WIRE --- connect to (A2)gray wire on IMBL CTRL UNIT.
PINK        --IMMOBILIZER IGN CAR SIDE -- ign from key cyclinder to IMBL - connect to A4 from above. Test wire to make sure has 12volts with key on ON position.
PINK        --IMMOBILIZER IGN KEY SIDE-- ign from IMBL CTRL UNIT. - connect to A4 from above. test wire to make sure 12volts with KEY on ON position.
ORANGE --- LIGHT BLUE -not available. -- after research this is connected to A3 WHT/RED wire from above.. will not test for volt, ohm, data wire.

just a heads up when remote start the green key light will keep flashing but will not remaining flashing when the vehicle is started with key. I will try one more sequence once the weather breaks if that solves the flashing green key light on the dash I will post update. I know its hard to find any information on installing remote start w. by-pass for this car so I hope this helps.
