first time 2005 ford 500

Well I want to try to install my first electric start. I have a python 414. I ordered a transponder bypass. I will be a tempting to install this in to a 2005 ford 500. This will be my first install any help on terminology would be awsome. Do I also have all the parts I need. I'm sure I will have other questions. I'll post as they come up. Thanks in advanced for all the help.

I forgot the model number for transponder bypass that I bought. It's a express kit pkfm. The description said it should work with my car.

While I'm not a big fan of the PKFM ( had issues when it was XK04 ), it should work OK.  It should come flashed with the

PKFORD firmware.  You will need two working, non-clone, ignition keys to program the bypass module.  Here are the transponder wire colors as listed by iDatalink :   Five Hundred  05-07   TX   Pin 3 WHITE/ Light Green           RX   Pin 4 Gray/Orange

The car is fairly basic with no big surprises for your remote start with keyless entry install.  Be aware that the Factory

hood pin ( if installed ) is the N.C. type and if you use it as the 414's hood pin input, you will need to change Menu 1, Item 9 to Option 2.  If there is no Factory hood pin, use the one supplied in the 414 kit ( with no programming changes ).

Your next step should be to download all the wiring guide info from several sources and make up a wire chart.  Here

are some more wire guide sources :

Here is a link to Ready Remote :  http://www.readyremote.com/main.aspHere is a link to AudioVox :  http://techservices.audiovox.com/AccessRequest.aspx    Sign-up & info is free.

If you post your wire connection chart ( Python 414 to vehicle ), forum members can review it and make suggestions and

or corrections before you start the install.

Last but not least, use a Digital Multi Meter to test the vehicles wires.  And every connection should be soldered for best

reliability. 

Soldering is fun!

Thank you that's great I'll get to work on that chart and post back

I worked on my wire connection chart and i will post it after this reply. Its the first one i have ever done so might be completely wrong. sorry if it is. There was some stuff i wasn't sure about. I left question marks in those spots. Some help with that would be great. on the instructions there was Auxiliary/shutdown harness, not sure what this is for. also how hard would it be to get the heated seats and rear defrosted to come on when i start the car. Thanks again for all the help.

I see that the rear defogger output is good for 200 ma. I would think that the rear defogger draw more then that. Should install a relay for that. Also can I put the heated seats on that relay. If anyone has wired the heated seats to work with the electric start I wondering how and what wires. Thanks again

I got my transponder bypass in the mail today. I opened it up and there is no instructions in the box. its a driected xpresskit pkfm. How do i wire this up to my python 414 electric start.

Here is the link to the PKFM w/PKFORD firmware install guide:

If you decide to go with the D2D connection mode, there will be only 3 wires to connect to the car.
