dei ignition1 vs status output for bypass

Generally, I use the status. It activates immediately upon reception of the remote start signal from the transmitter, whereas the ignition 3 (-) is active at the same times as the pink ignition 1 and pink/white flex relay (if programmed as an ignition). Sometimes the bypass has to disarm the factory alarm as well, which is definitely good to do before ignition to avoid horn honking. I think though that some Bypasskit pieces for Chrysler products (like the XK532, IIRC) would be better with the ignition 3 (-), since they have a tech note saying that the bypass should come on at the same time as ignition. Again, though, in every other install I do with DEI product I use the status output for the GWR input to the bypass. C Renner's Auto Electronix
