Hi guys. New member here. Ive been installing car stereos for 20 years but im about to try & tackle my first remote start install on my Passport. Ive downloaded the install manual and read thru it & have my install planned out & ready to tackle next week when the Avital gets here. However, theres one wire connection that im unsure of. From the install manual:
H1/3 YELLOW - (+) IGNITION OUT (TO ALARM)
As an add-on car starter: if connected, disconnect the ignition/accessory input of the remote controlled security or keyless entry system. Connect the H1/3 YELLOW ignition output to the ignition/accessory input of the remote controlled security or keyless entry system. The wire will prevent the host system from sensing that the ignition is on during remote start operation.
My Passport has a factory installed keyless entry/security system. All 3 of the wiring diagrams I have do not mention an ignition/accessory input wire on the keyless entry. Has anyone had any experience with this Avital model and/or Passport remote starter install? Or does anyone know where this wire can be found, what color is or how to test for it? Thanks for any input and help!

Look at plug H1/1 and H1/2:-
Light GREEN/ black factory alarm disarm to yellow/blue.
GREEN / WHITE factory alarm arm to purple.
White plug driver's kick panel.
The yellow wire on the Avital is used with an aftermarket alarm.

I wondered that as well since I already knew of the arm/disarm connections already listed. They didn't clarify aftermarket so I wanted to make sure. Thanks howie.

Pleasure but you must realise that the instruction manual is for pros.
A lot of the "jargon" assumes you're a pro and aware of all the little foibles.
I had to get the info from a site that can't even be accessed by the public (password protected etc.)

Yep I knew that. Not a pro but my basic understanding of 12v systems has helped me figure most of it out. One other question...I hafta determine if my parking lights pull 10 amps of current. Can that be done with a dmm or do I need to test with an ammeter? I figure if they pull 10 amps (a relay is required) and I wire it without a relay then basically they just wont work & that'll tell me that I need the relay, correct? The light output from the Avital is a 200mA (-) output & my parking light system is a (-) system so I wouldn't think I'd be in danger of frying anything, just wouldn't have enough current to flash them. Am I right in that thinking?

Wait scratch that last post...its a positive output & my lights are a positive system. I only need the relay if they pull 10 amps or more of current. But same thinking...if I don't use the relay then there wont be enough current to flash them if they pull more than 10 amps & I don't use the relay, correct?

10 amps = 120 watts, 4 outside bulbs at 10 watts + say 20 watts for the control and instrument lighting = max 70 watts.
Shouldn't need one but if you must play safe and use a relay:-
NEG light out put (white wire) to 85
12V+ constant to 86 and 87 with a 15 amp fuse.
Lights from 30
