So do I just connect the R/S Auxiliary Channels to the bypass or do I have to also tap into the (-) wireS on the sliding door.
So I guess my quotation is do I wire them
1. R/S---Bypass or
2. R/S---Sliding Door---Bypass.
Thanks again for all of your help

Thank you so much, I'm taking on my 1st R/S install this weekend. I'm actually doing both of my vehicles so I've been trying to make sure I have all the info I need before starting them. I really do appreciate your time and knowledge.
Thank you again,
Jeff

I didn't realize at 1st but for the power supply to the R/S it should be team from the battery as well. Can I use the same power wire for my defrost relay and the R/S or should I run a separate line for both?

Well, your defroster takes a good chunk of current just for itself, and depending on how you're doing your parking lights connection, I think the safe bet is to do two battery runs. If your battery run is only 10' or so, you can probably get away with a single run of 10awg to the battery, and split it inside the vehicle.
Splitting heavy gauge wire is tough sometimes, so if you can spare it, two runs is probably easier.

Well I got the remote start installed today and everything seems to be working except for the pass sliding door. I have my left door on channel 5 and my right on channel 6. My left door works but the right does not. I have even tried it on channel 4 and 7 thinking maybe the channel output was bad bUT none of them work either. The door openS with the factory key fob. I'm just not sure what else to do and I've rechecked the wiring a dozen times I have the correct wire hooked up and I have reprogrammed the remote several times. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

Did you use the same value resistors for both doors? The left side is 1.5 kohm, right side is 2.7 kohm. See here: https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=20489.
My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

I didn't use any resistors because it is all handled through the bypass unit. Is it possible to use data mode and still hard wire the sliding doors?

How about a quick test.  You didn't say if you went D2D or W2W but if you went with W2W between the bypass module and the R/S controller....

Disconnect the hardwire connection between them for the right sliding door.  Then briefly apply chassis ground to the FLCAN's PURPLE / Black right sliding door input.  Does it open ( or close ) to right sliding door?

Soldering is fun!
