2003 Pontiac Sunfire Remote Start

For the trunk release, you will need a relay because it is a positive triggered release. The door trigger wires are GREEN/ black and lt. blue at the pins or the BCM. You can pulse either one with the factory rearm output if you have one to shut the radio off. As boomer_106 suggested, you can make a bracket out of sheetmetal to mount your hoodpin...I mounted the one on my '02 Sunfire to the strut tower near the top, though if you do that be careful to use short screws(like 1/2" or less.) Not sure if you found the tach wire yet, but there should be a plug going into the end of the ignition module on top of the motor that has a tach wire in it.

I did not power the brown second ignition so the radio doesn't come on when the vehicle is remote started, but when you have the vehicle running by key and use the pit stop feature and you let it time out the radio remains on for 30 minutes. For that reason I added the pulse after shutdown to the door trigger just to be safe.

I'll look for that spot when I get the vehicle back. Other than that the install is complete. I put the hood pin off because my drill wasn't available at the time of the install. But I do want to get that installed due to the fact that I also installed a DEI timer for unattended scheduled starting. Thanks for all the help.

Ahh I see. I figured it was just something I was missing. Thanks for setting me straight on that.
