Kenny, Ted said it.

Back to the question earlier, "program ign 2 to fire on crank" YES!

I can't do that, because I have to arm the alarm before remote starting and it kills the starter with the key in the on position.

Or rather, the alarm goes off so it won't crank. The starter wire is connected on the vehicle side.

It's programmed that way by default. I measured the starter output from the brain when remote starting, it is 12 V for about a second.

Did you connect the 2nd ign wire like stated above ?Protect what's yours.

Yes.

i read the thread and realized it was a carvox. I'm surprised its become 6 pages. okay do this then. you haven't understood the concept of an alarm/rs. When the alarm is armed, and you start the vehicle, the alarm is only active on the door triggers and hood. 1) sit in the vehicle and close the doors. arm the system 2) place a key into the ignition barrel in the off position 3) activate the remote start 4) as the remote start begins to activate ie acc, ign, turn the key to the ign position and leave it. if the vehicle cranks and turns over and stays running, you have incorrectly wired the ignition. try that and see. i have a feeling its an ignition, or maybe because its a carvox unitTed

I just tried what you said exactly. It still didn't turn over the engine. It's almost like the starter just isn't getting enough power.
