First cheers everybody as it´s my first post here!

Great forum and i have learned a lot since i discovered it. I have just recently bought a new scynet unit that seems to be flamed a lot here :) . I´m still on the process of finishing the install but so far the unit preforms very well and as exepected. I had no problem regarding finding information, even their website has all the manuals and software to download. This brings up 2 questions i have:

- i see that the alarm has a port to plug to pc so that i can use the software to program the alarm; has anyone ever used this? Is this a TTL to RS232 cable? If so anyone know the pinouts? Would be great to have this working!

- the remote start is kiling my head! Has anyone ever installed in on a Honda CRX of 89? At least can anyone explain me how´s the remote start supose to work? I see the control unit has a ignition + input and an ingnition + output (relayed) and also a starter output. Can someone give me some hints on this?

Thanks all!

I'm sure you mean scytek 5000rs

i have the scytek wizard software not as good as clifford.

the cable has a dongle aswell so i think you might need to buy the cable its about $25

the manual explains what each wire does what exactly has you confused..

Why oh Why didn't i take the blue pill

Yes i wanted to type scytek 5000rs... mistake

Well, one question; ignition imput at alarm central is comming from where? A tapped wire where?

I ask this because if i try to remote start i hear it clicking relays but nothing happens. I still need to wire the ignition imput and armed output.

Also i´ve seen that remote start output seems to control a relay. Where is this going? I´m a bit confused about the alarm controlling ign and starter...

HELP!

ignition input can be gotten at ignition harness or fusebox.

the starter output is for bypass modules its a ground when started wire

Well after a long night and lots of vodka i realised why it´s not working the remote start and door closing with ign on.

Turns out that manual cars have to have the parking brake, door and ign imput conected to work properly...

Now it´s working fine!

I don´t know why there are so many problems for lots of people that i see complaining about this alarm on the internet. I went to their website, downloaded the manual and software even for ppc and after 3 days working 2h/day i got it all working and i´m very pleased with the product. I never touched an alarm before.

What i learned is that it´s quite easy to install such a system in my crx but newer cars must be harder unless you have all schematics by hand.

Now i´m going to try to find a way to use some of the aux outputs, maybe roof top, maybe truck release...

Thanks!

So far it works very nice and even 2 of my friends are going to buy it too.

The pager works as it´s said and range is very good; i live on the 4th floor and the garage is at -1 and no problem at all getting status or alarms. The led it´s blue, wich i wasn´t expecting but now i´m getting to like it. Only thing i find bad is that the unit´s manual isn´t 100% according to the unit itself. I have a 5000rs-2w-1 unit and it´s manual on the web is outdated or something; schematics isn´t 100% right and also misses some issues.

They have a software called scytek companion that has a veichle wiring database that was pretty helpful to me and the software with they program the unit itself. This is what i really would like to look into. I suspect (wihtout having opened the main unit) that it must be a regular ttl-rs232 converter.

when my firends get their units i´ll open them and take a look.
