Installing a remote start in an 05 magnum. When the vehicle is started with the key it will go into remote start take over mode fine, but the tach in the cluster goes dead. Also, the vehicle will not program the 556cw as a remote key. Please help.

These cars are interesting aren't they? Best place to start is to check out what is going on.....meter wires, watch what they do, see where they hook do, what those wires do etc. etc.

I hate this car. I spent about 6 hours fighting with one. Ended up bringing it to Gus's shop for help. If you are using viper... throw it in tachless mode, it works like a charm. Second of all make sure your resistence in the start and accesory wires are correct, again directechs infotech works very well for it. I used a 556u with sentry 2 key which programmed awesome. If you are using the 556c you need to have a wait to start wire. What is the sequence you are using to program the 556c? ------------- andrew nickle

I think im following the proper sequece for the 556cw. I have the red wire on 12v fused constant and the blue on the status output (-). I am installing a Clifford Matrix RS3.5
Sequence followed is:
1. Turn key 1 to run position for approx 8 seconds.
2. Remove key 1
3. Within 10 seconds turn key 2 to run position for 10 seconds until sentry light comes on.
4. Within 10 seconds place chip on 556cw in front of key slot and with the wait to start wire grounded, initiate start sequence on remote.
This is where it stops for me. The sentry light does not go solid as it should and the chip is not programed. I assume this is because of my other problem with the accessory/2nd start wire. I followed the directFax doc 1084 to a T, and I tied the purple wire both to the starter side of the primary start wire and to the relay in doc 1084. I assume this is the correct way of doing it.
I went with the 556cw over the 556uw as the loom setup was goofy to me and i had clearance issues with out the cluster panel fit around the ignition switch.

The only reason we went tachless is a matter of the right tach wire (which wasn't obviously hooked up) and time....
1) 1st key on, security light comes on, then goes out, key off and out
2) 2nd key on, security light comes on, then goes out... then there is one ding from cluster and theft light comes back on flashing. key off, remove
3) Grounding the wait to start, pellet positioned, hit remote start. Everything powers up, light is flashing.... after 15-20sec, it will ding once, and go solid. key is now learned.

The grey/black wait to start is grounded for the moment when programming the chip. On all other circumstances i describe, it is not grounded.
gus1, for step three, the light continues to flash, never goes solid, but i know i tripped a whole bunch of engine codes. Perhaps you cant program a new key if the check engine light is on.

Probably not...
Are you sure you have the negative starter/negative ignition wires resistored correctly??

Yeah, I checked and rechecked that. 610 on the start and 180 on the accy. It might be backwards as i dont have the sheet infront of me right now. The car will start when i hit the button twice. But it dies after 2-3 seconds from what I assume is the lack of programed 556cw.
At this point, i think i might just drop it off at mach1 and let them fix it. Unless some miracle happens. Thank you everyone for all of your help.
