viper 5901 won't remote start.

Hey, I just installed the viper 5901 on my 2008 Scion xB. Everything works, the alarm arms and disarms, doors lock and unlock. Kill switch works when alarm is activated. But when I hit the remote start button it seems to want to work, my dash lights up and I hear some clicking, the alarm attempts to start three times but the engine does not turn over. After that I get a "remote start error" on the remote... Thank you for any help! -Mike

whats the error say?

It just says "remote start error" and there are no flashes indicating that the was one of the regular errors, ie... Brake, hood , or door sensor. I do not have a factory alarm but i guess there is a factory security system. If that's the case, then no I did not bypass it. Do I need a relay to do this? And I am using the tach signal... will that cause a problem? THANKS!!

Try remote starting it with the key in the switch in the off position.  If it starts, you will need a bypass module.

I put the key in, in the off position and it still will not start      

turn it to the on position and see f it starts, if it does , the you have mixed up your ignition and accesory wires, if all goes well and you've reached this far then you can start looking for bypass units.commit your way to jehovah and he will act in your behalf. psalms 37:5

once you've made sure the wires are in their correct  places, place the key in the ignition cylinder leave in the off position and try remote starting, if it starts without the key in you need no bypass if it starts with the key in, well you can figure the rest, also have you learned the tach to the unit, if no then please do, or program it to voltage for the time being so you won't get too confused.commit your way to jehovah and he will act in your behalf. psalms 37:5

if you read your manual you will find out how to find the error

Ok, so I have the manual in front of me, it reads; When the remote start function is activated and the 2-way remote emits an error tone; you have the ability to see what the cause of the no-start situation is by counting the amount of flashes of the parking lights from the vehicle. 5 flashes      Brake wire is active 6 flashes      Hoodpin wire is active 7 flashes      Manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized 8 flashes      Neutral safety wire has no ground or the neutral safty switch is off. I get no flashes... none...
