There is also a WHITE/ red wire in the ignition bundle but I don't know what it's for. I haven't connected it to anything.

Nevermind, that's the constant 12V. I am using the WHITE/ blue constant 12V wire to power the brain.

okay so now we know you have it all hooked up correctly.
the issue is the carvox does not see that the engine is running.
Connect tach and program it. make sure in settings it is set to tach.

This is the part that confuses me. The manual doesn't say how to program the tach. I know most other remote starts have you press a button or something to put it in learning mode, but the manual doesn't mention that.

connect tach at the obd2 plug. pin 9 black wire.
try starting again and maybe it will pick it up automatically. If taht fails, connect the tach wire to ignition. troubleshoot below:
if tack does not work, check the unit for an oil pressure sense wire,
if you happen to have one connect this to ignition, and remove tach wire.

Which ignition would I connect the tach wire to? 1 or 2?

Ok Ted. Please enlighten me, how in the world does connecting the tach to the ignition wire work? I'm not familiar with that unit; does it basically just become voltage sensing?

Ted, have you installed this unit before? And where would I find an oil sensor wire? Thanks for your help.

ive done a few for people and one in my sisters winter beater a few years back. i honestly don't know if they were carvox, but they were some Chinese units that's for sure.
its really a hit and miss, and there are so many variations of this unit. Some had oil pressure sensor wires, some had tach or both. for all the carvox units ive done, ive attempted to use tach, but it never worked.
i connected tach to the ignition it started everytime. beats me i tell you.
