08 scion xb remote start not working

you will use the ign 1 output.

use the flex relay as your additional ignition wire output.

flex relay 87 input - constant 12v

flex relay 30 output - to ignition 2

Did you hook up the hood pin switch? Is it showing an open circuit when the hood is closed? Also, the dash lights won't light up since you said you do not have the parking lights hooked up. Shawn

i did hook up the hood pin switch, and just to rule it out as a culprit, i disconnected it when doing the trial and error. i went back and hooked up the parking lights, and ceased to get the same error flashes ever since i put it in "automatic mode"-- the dash lighting up i was referring to was the regular occurrence of the gauge cluster lighting up as the ignition is turned over, not of the parking lights. i was able to replicate it lighting up by jumping a 12v direct to the ignition wire and all the needles set and the cluster lit up. im still a little fuzzy on the flex-relay thing and the way this is supposed to be wired, but ill give it another shot tomorrow. the last installs i did were the 791xv's which predated the flex relay system, and i think the cars had only one ignition and one starter wire-- or were simple enough for me to be able to figure out on my own.... this 2 start, 2 ign w flex relay has thrown me for a loop! i know it's not an immobilizer issue or anything though-- i cut myself a spare and the brass key turned the engine over just fine.

as mentioned you have 2 starts and 2 ignitions.

to deal with ignition first, take the first ign output and connect to ign 1

use the flex relay which will help you for ignition 2. Flex input to constant 12v, flex output to ignition 2.connect the start wire to the car, using a relay and the 200ma starter output (-) of the unit, wire to a relay.85 - 200ma start output from unit86 - constant 12v87 - constant 12v30 - to second start wire.

just trying to clarify, because half of the issue i was having was not clearly understanding what connections via the flex relay i needed to make to what. as it is, i have (in color and harness number): 1.Pink to ignition 4.Violet to the starter output 5.Green to the starter input so i need to go 2.RED / white to constant 12v 6.Red to constant 12v 7.Pink/White to ignition 2 and then the relay for the second starter?

sorry-- and i forgot to add 9. RED / black to constant 12v

yes that is correct. Everything looks good. now just use the relay for the second start.Ted
