Always double check your wires with a DMM!!!

Thanks for the tip!

I have a question for you. I currently have a separate alarm and remote start units in my car.

Should I remove (un-wire) them completly first or can I solder the current wires to my new combo's bundle?

if I were you, I would do a fresh install, it is the safest and most reliable thing to do.

I would definitely take the T-taps out of the car, they tend to fail. I would also pull all the modules and wires from the old units out and start fresh. This ensures you will properly connect each wire to the appropriate destination and you can also make the install a lot prettier.

One problem.

It has been really cold around here lately, 5-15 degrees.

When I wake up in the morning to remote start my car it doesn't work. I got to the car and saw the dash and everything on but no engine running. Then i turned the key and it started up.

I have only experienced this only on cold overnights.

Is there something I forgot to do or something I can adjust?

thank you
