2002 sienna Remote start with oem alarm

Hello every1;

I have toyota sienna 2002 with the FM-2009 (crimestopper). I did not do this myself, I have the pro installer did it for me a few day ago and I am having trouble with disable the oem alarm. Everytime I start my car without disarm first, then my car's oem alarm will go off. I must disarm everytime I want to start my car which this is the pain. I have talked to my installer a few times already and he said he will find out if he can do something to help me. He said at this point there is no way to get rid of the oem alarm. He said that, he already talked to manufactor of the FM-2009 and the only way to make this thing to work is unplug the oem alarm fuse. I am wondering if anyone here can help me or give me some link to solve this problem, I am very frustrated with wife on my back to remove this unit out. Please help me or email me at joyjet740@hotmail.co, I would very appreciated....

thanks...

Use those wire to bypass the OEM alarm system.  The FM-2009 should have those wire to arm and disarm the OEM alarm system.  Good luck....

Thank you very much for your quick reply... I will have my installer come back and help me with this problem. I hope these will have me with this problem, so that the wife won't bother me to take this unit out any more. Another thing if you could help me, I wanted to make this unit to control my two sliding doors I am wondering you can help or give me some direction to make this to work on both door. I have been told by my installer that my unit FM-2009 have only one aux. out which mean that I can dontrol only one door at a time. I would appreciated if you can help me again....

thanks.

Thanks again for your help. I won't have my installer back till monday, he is too busy right now. Actually what I really wanted to get my system done correctly is the OEM alarm, just to make sure this oem alarm won't trigger whenever I start my car.  Other like sliding doors and the head light is my second... My head light right now won't shut off after car run remote start, because I place the switch at auto headlight off. I hope I can find way to make this headlight turn off after remote start which run about 15 min. But this one is not important just nice to have this option to work...

Thanks

Well, there are a couple way to bypass the headlight problem.  The hood pin trigger is also the shut down trigger for the remote starter.  When the remote starter time out, it will send a pulse to turn off the engine.  You will have your installer to install a couple diodes with a relay to do the job.  One pulse to the door pin trigger to turn on the dome light and the other pulse to turn off the headlight.

Good luck

Thanks again for your good direction. Anyway do you have some sort of schematic (diagram) for me so that I can follow much better? I am also an electronics Technician, but I am just have not done this kind of job before. If you can provide me with the diagram I would definitely can follow much easier. My installer may not aware of these stuff you have mentioned, but I will print these message so that he can read and he won't say that I am just saying nonsense... I am appreciate all the answer that you have provided me so far... if you can give me the schematic of these:

1. shut off the oem alarm when remote start

2. turn off the headlight when engine stop after remote start time out.

3. way to trigger the slide doors may be one at a time if possible.

I am sorry if I am asking you too much,

Todd..

Hi Todd......

All those answer, that I give you are all simple solutions.  I don't own or drive a Toyota Sienna.  I think the Sienna is a great vehicle.  Couple friends own one.  One have a remote starter install on in back in 1999.  He doesn't have those problem that you had.   I did another one was when someone asking for help earlier on a different post.  I find your vehicle might have a couple extra computers on it.  I live in Canada and the Canadian model doesn't have power sliding doors or auto lights.

Every remote starter has an shutdown trigger wire.  This trigger wire is programmed on the remote starter output.  Ex: 10, 12, 15, or 24 minutes timeout.  It depends on the remoter starter manufacturer standard programming.  The shutdown trigger wire is usually the hood pin wire. 

The install will hookup a relay like this:

Ans 1 & 2) Pin 87 to Ground, Pin 85 to shutdown trigger (hood pin), Pin 86 to 12 volt (3 amp fused), Pin 30 to diode isolate OEM alarm Input and Headlight shutdown, and Pin 87a not use.

Ans 3) The sliding door is kind of tricky to do because your alarm system only have only aux output.  It will required some work to do.  He will need 3 or more relays to do the job.  He will have to configure one relay to latch for open and close.  If you have 2 sliding doors than it will open and close both doors at the same time.  It's a simple Negative trigger relay configuration and your installer knew how to hook it up.

Thanks for the help that you have gave me so far, and I will let you know how it works. I hope I get this baby to work this week, I hate to go through all of these problem. Especially the oem alarm that go off when remote start....

thanks, Todd.

At the ignition switch is a small two-pin harness.  One of the wires is WHITE/ black; the other is blue with a stripe.  This is the keysense wire---it shows a ground anytime the ignition key is inserted.

Tell your installer that he must send a steady ground to the keysense wire during remote start.  It can't be a one-second pulse------it must be a steady ground for at least the first few seconds----preferably a ground the whole time the remote starter is on.  This is a low-current wire; he does not need to use a relay.

I've only installed one Crimestopper, and that was years ago, so I'm not familiar with how they're set up.  But surely the unit will offer an output that can be used for this, or if not, your installer should be able to configure something similar.
