Hey everyone!
I bought 2 Easycar E7B kits to install on 2 different Pontiac Grand Prix's that I have - a 2000 GTP and 2006 GXP. I've got some questions about the system and some vehicle specific issues. Push button, knock sensor, lock/unlock works on both cars.
The first challenge is the instructions provided in my kit were slightly different than the ones online here: http://easycaralarm.com/data/installation/M7700B-772AS_E7-B_E5-B_771AS.pdf. Since I found out the red wire is not the brake sensor wire, I've been following the online installation manual.
Easycar E7B specific questions:
- When the remote start failure flashes go, is it AFTER the first 3? There is a pause after the first 3 blinks, then it blinks 7 more times.
- I notice that when I turn the car off, specifically - when the door light comes on, the car flashes 10 times. Is that supposed to happen?
- Are the above 2 related?
- Remote start won't work (both cars). To be fair, I don't have the PASSKEY III bypass, but I tested it with the key in the ignition and the car flashes 9 times. I cut the wire under the main cover to run as an automatic, not a manual car. Does the reservation mode have anything to do with the remote start not working? I don't understand what the purpose of it is, but it seems like it's for manual cars only.
2000 GTP specific questions:
- Push button start works, but no radio comes on, am I using the wrong accessory wire?

2006 GXP specific questions:
- No push button start, flashes 4 times (3 flashes, then delay and then 1 flash)
- If I lock the car, alarm goes off; I think this might have to do with the red or RED / black wire and the delay the car takes for the light to dim. What can I do about this?
