i think the 12v constant in the dkp is tan/black or tan/red. its a thicker gauge wire. ive always used that and never had any problems.

i have done hundreds of fords and chryslers gm's with low current at the harness

as long as you are not powering up any high current circuits and all our light and lock outputs are negative there should be 0 issues

The constant-power feed at the ignition switch is fine, and there is no need to go to the battery.

However, you should be removing the remote starter's 30-amp fuses, and using a single 5 or 7.5 amp fuse for everything. This way, when there's a malfunction, only the remote starter stops working, and the car remains driveable.

what they said. very few cars is there actually a need to go to the battery.

I think the only cars I've ever gone to the battery on are '01-up Chrysler minivans - just ran an 18-gauge wire along with my tach, hoodpin wires. BCM I know gets big constant power on those cars but the wires there are harder to get at.

I'm kind of leery at using a <10A fused ignition harness wire for a remote start. I've never metered the operating current draw of my remote starts, but if you figure that you could have 4 or 5 relay coils operating at the same time, plus what the factory ignition wires draw, plus the solid state circuitry inside the remote start brain...that's too close to 7.5A for my comfort. It's kind of just personal preference, but I think it's just as easy to go to a fusebox or BCM power feed as it is the ignition harness - usually you have connections there anyway.
