Wiring a PKH1 bypass

I'm trying to wire this bypass into my 2000 Prelude. One question... What is that brown wire on the bypass? It says it is a "negative out when running". What does it mean and what should I connect it to?

On your remote starter unit you will have a ground out when running wire. Connect this wire to the bypass unit brown wire.   You want to turn this bypass unit on temporally during a remote start and off the rest of the time or else you are defeating the purpose of the anti-theft immobiliser. The ground out when running wire is basically a ground signal that the remote start unit send out during a remote start. Once the key is place in the ignition, the remote starter is disabled and so does the ground signals that it is sending to the bypass module. I hope this helps. Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

Oh, ok, I see now what it's for. Now, don't these bypasses make the immobilizer system vulnerable? A thief could simply power the starter wire and at the same time ground this brown wire and start a car, right?

Literally speaking yes, but if the unit is hidden and install well out of reach, tape up with black tape it does require a bit of work and knowledge as well as time to get it to start up.    Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

Ok, I just installed the PKH1, but when I remote start the car, the starter is just keep cranking the engine and the car won't start :( Why is that? I know my remote starter is perfectly fine, because it used to work with another bypass that uses a key and it also worked if I left the key in the ignition switch. What could be the problem?

With the PKH1, you must use the BLACK head key to program the module. Did you do this ?Jeff

The BLACK key is the one I normally use to start the car? That's the only key I have.

In the manual it says the red LED will blink once the bypass is programmed. Well, it blinks and seems to crank the engine, but something must be missing or just ain't right...:(

did you move the jumper back to normal from program ?Jeff

Yes, I did. The LED stopped blinking as it said it will in the manual. Anything else that could cause this?
