2nd ignition wire be used as accessorry?

on audiovox if you look in the instructions it will tell you under programming menu ign2 on during crank, or same as starter1, same as acc, it is programmable just hook it to your 2nd acc wire and change programming to make it an accessory

Don't think there's a pink/white wire for the APS 901. I believe green is the ignition 2 wire. I still don't see why cannot connect alarm's ignition 2nd(unused) to car's 2nd accessory(required) directly? In theory should work correct?

I never program an audiovox before. Will give it go tomorrow. So I want it to be OFF for Ign. 2 During Crank correct? Thanks all for help.

If it were a Code Alarm branded piece, the associated would be pink/white as Tommy was mentioning. With the Prestige and Pursuit brands, it's a thick green wire as you described. And yes, go into the second bank of featuers, where you have your runtime, tach/voltage and all those settings, and set Ignition 2 to "off during crank," and it will behave just like the purple accessory output. What kind of car is this going into, anyway?

03 Murano. Everything is working, except the 2nd accessory - thus no heat =(

Many thanks guys. Your expertise help me once more. Will try to program the thing tomomrrow. Hopefully smooth sailing for a @ home installer.

I mentioned in an earlier post the difference... Ignition stays powered up during crank...Accessory does not...It drops voltage...Just to clear that up for ya...!

Works like a charm after programming it. Pretty easy too. Thanks all =)
