2009 lexus is 250awd remote start

The bypass itself isn't what disables the factory remote, its the vehicle itself. Most factory keyless entry systems are disabled whenever the vehicle is running. If you want to keep the factory alarm functional, you will have to run wires into the door. You may be able to find a good how-to on removing the door panel online, and I know there is a great how-to on here for running wires through a Molex plug. If you take your time and are careful, it really isn't too difficult to run wires into the door. If you don't care about losing the factory alarm, then just connect the lock / unlock wires and make sure not to use the factory remote. I'm assuming that car has the smart key... does it automatically lock the doors when you walk away from the car?

It doesn't, but I don't like the idea of not using the factory alarm lol. I can get the door off easy, its just getting the wires through the rubber grommet which is really tight. I'll look up the guide here, thanks for the help!

Don't use a coat hanger to go through the boot... there are usually quite a few wires in the boot and the coat hanger can easily damage those wires. Go to the hardware store and buy the biggest and stiffest zip tie you can find. Then cut the end off of it and use that to fish the wires through the boot.Kenny

Thanks for the advice, I was able to wire it through in 20 mins! The trick was to remove the boot from the door and then snake it through with the zip tie that i bent a little to help with the curve into the body :) I pretty much wrapped up my install but my location for the brain won't work at this point. I'm actually thinking about redoing the entire installation in the spring. The wires that viper provides for ignition/power/etc are excessively big and are a little short. I'll rip everything out and redo it with smaller wire which will make the install a little neater. Would 14 gauge be a good choice?

So I 2 issues right now, and once I solve them I'll be done! Can anyone help? : 1) When I remote start the car the drivers door stays unlocked? When I was using the idatalink i got the same behavior when I did a hardwire install, but it went away when I was using D2D. Now that I'm using a evo-all I'm doing hard wired again and the issue is back. 2) When I lock the car from the viper remote it unlocks the door right after. I can hear the factory chirp and the lights blink twice as if I hit the unlock button from the factory remote. This behavior is EXACTLY how the car acts when I hit the unlock on the factory remote. Once I hit the lock on the viper fob again it will lock depending on how long I wait. Any suggestions? I scoured online but haven't found any help :/

Update: I solved issue number 1, its the remote start safelock option in menu 3. Just have to set it to on and the door locks right back up. Still trying to figure out the second issue though..

Update 2: Seems the behavior of the unlock after lock is normal after talking to an installer. It seems to have gone away now that I am using a smartstart module there must of a been an update of some sort. I do have a weird issue where I can remote start my car perfectly on my phone, but when I hit the button again it turns my car off, then turns it back on. Rather odd since I can turn it off fine with my fob. I have a email sent to tech support, wondering if anyone else has seen this.
