I just installed a remote starter in a 99 sunfire and the radio stays on after I shut the car off with the remote. I have the door trigger wires hooked 'cause it's a manual trans, I thought this would do it but I guess not. Anyone have some ideas?

diode isolate the door triggers from the bcm and pulse the bcm side with a rearm wire.

I thought you could put remote starters only on cars with automatic transmission. Is that not true? Did your manual for the remote start say that you can install it on a manual transmission car? Just curious.

Quite a few companies make them now. The ones I get only require 2 more wires to hook up and they are pretty slick.

Pulsing the door trigger will shut off the redio, but it will also tell the remote starter that the door was opened and then exit ready mode, so that really defeats the purpose.

I dont know about sunfires, but some GM vehicles have a door trigger in the latch as well as a door pin that is commonly found on the left side of the dash where the door closes. If you have one of those pins, you can pulse that wire there to shut off the radio, but if not, then you might just need to live with it.

Actually I just thought of this. If you dont have one of those door pins, You could use your disarm pulse to trigger the door trigger and a relay that would open the door trigger input wire to the RS so it would not see the door opening.

sorry i must not of been clear enough..what i meant by diode isolating the door triggers was cutting the door triggers GREEN/ black driver side blue passanger side. both are located in the driver kick panel....putting two diodes on each door switch wire. cathodes facing switch. one of the diodes hook to the remote starter the other one to the bcm side of the wire. do that with both door triggers and when you pulse the bcm side of the wire the remote WONT SEE IT FOR THE DIODE WILL BLOCK THE NEGATIVE PULSE...... you could also do it with a relay but diodes are just as easy. If you hook up to the domelight wire the bcm will pulse the wire after an hour and take it out of ready mode......... Just to clear it up for you jrilla.... this will not defeat the purpose.......if you want i can draw you a picture.... 99 sunfire has contacts in the door latch no seperate door triggers on the side of the dash.

thanks

I answered this on your other post a couple days ago.

What larkster wrote is basically what I wrote. Only thing is you don't need to pulse both door triggers. Pulsing the drivers door only will work fine.

Does the unit you are using have a rearm wire?
