2011 tacoma g key dball issues

do you have the 2nd starter wire connected? what does the led on the dball do when you activate the remote start?

Second starter wire is connected, the dball stays red when remote starting.

One other thing, I can start the vehicle with the key, then use the viper to take over the ignition by pressing the remote start key, and it continues to run. DBALL is red throughout all of this.

If the LED is solid red the module never completed programming. I would double check the wires from the DBALL are in the correct pins on the connector. I have had a few DBALL harnesses that were pinned wrong. I would also triple check that my IMO, IMI, CANH & CANL are all correct. Page 17 in the guide tells you about LED diagnostics & troubleshooting

In case anyone was wondering, I took apart the dball to see if there was anything discernible wrong with it, and a trace was burnt out. Rather than dealing with another potentially problematic bypass, I ordered up an idatalink programmer and bypass. Wired it up wire to wire, flipped the power inn and everything worked the first time. ADS-TL FTW.

   iDatalink...  

Soldering is fun!
