help? polarity means whatever polarity the door trigger wire is, you connect to the battery right?

Hi guys,
Installing a security system/remote start and I have a question.
What is the difference between the Ignition 2 wire and the Starter wire on a 1987 mazda rx-7? On this car, there is no "Ignition 2" position on the ignition switch. Is the ignition 2 wire and the starter wire the same wire? And if so, since I have to cut the starter wire, which side of the starter wire do I connect the Ignition 2 wire from the alarm wiring?
Thanks.

well, the security part of the system is connected and there are a couple things that dont work.
first off, the dome light doesn't turn on when the alarm is disarmed/doors unlocked. why is this? i have the relay connected and the polarity is negative since the door trigger is negative.
secondly, the alarm will go off if the car is unlocked but the alarm is not disarmed, but i am still able to start the car with the alarm blaring. why is this? i have the starter wires cut and split to the alarm. i have the pink/white wire (ignition 2) connected to the vehicle side of the starter wire (connected with the purple wire) and the green wire connected to the key side.
i'd be willing to paypal some cash to someone if they are able to help me finish this install.

well,
the car alarm will still go off and the car will still be able to be started. does this have anything to do with the fact that my car can start without the clutch depressed for some reason? the DEI support told me that the only wires affecting the starter kill is the violet and green wires.
Can anyone please help? I've been having a ton of bad luck and no one is willing to help me any further.

Disconnect the pink/white from the purple.

I didn't have the pink/white wire connected to the purple.
I am still having problems with the alarm, still being able to start the car with the alarm blaring.
I checked the voltage using a multimeter and neither key side nor starter side gets power when the key is in "ON" or IGN1 position. The starter will only receive power when the key is turned to start the car. If I disconnect the key side of the starter wire, nothing happens. If I disconnect the starter side of the starter wire, nothing happens. If I connected everything like it's supposed to be, the car starts.
BUT now, when the alarm goes off, I can still turn the key and the car will still start.
I've already changed the brain 2 different times and still, the same problem.
Any ideas?

well i figured out why the car will still starting.
when the car starts, the ignition loses power. and thus making it an unenergized coil and therefore the relay makes it so the car can start.
i have tried looping the wire for the starter wire, that way the relay is always energized whenever the car is started, however the relay makes a loud buzzing sound.
is there anyway to get around this? the relay makes a loud buzzing sound and heats up, but the car doesnt start.
any help would be much appreciative.

I was thinking you connected the wrong igniton wire to start with but was too lazy to go through the entire thread! LOL! You have the wrong ignition wire, which is why your starter kill on the xcrs was not functioning properly to start with! The true ignition wire does not drop out during cranking look for a wire that does that and oof you go!
