I am installing a Hornet 569T which has "parking light flash" feature in my 08 jeep wrangler. Is there a simple wiring work-around so that I can have the parking lights remain on steady during auto start rather than flashing? The 569T doesn't offer a programable option & starting the car in the dark draws unwanted attention when those lights are flashing away like that. Thanks in advance for any help.

Look in the relay section here.

Here's another way, take a spare output, eg ign2 or heater, go the white light feed on the 569 via a 1N54xxx series diode, band towards the white wires, if you are using both wires use 2 diodes. 3rd idea. Use the status output to a relay, 85, 12v+ to 87 and 86, 30 to whites on 569. Note if light feeds are neg, use the status output to 85, 12+ to 86, ground to 87 ans 30 as before, again if 2 whites, diode them, pos, ban towards white, negative, bands towards relay.

howie, I am a little confused.. you said... "take a spare output, eg ign2 or heater, go the white light feed on the 569 via a 1N54xxx series diode, band towards the white wires, if you are using both wires use 2 diodes" Can you clarify? Do you mean take the 2nd accesory output from the 569T (which i am not presently using) and go to the parking light wire of my vehicle? And if I diode the connection which way does the band go? towards the remote start unit or towards the parking light wires of the vehicle? Sorry I am a little slow. Thanks again.

Does your light output from the 569t have one wire or two and is it set pos or neg? If 1 wire just join it to you unused acc wire from the 529. If 2 wires, diode out with the bans towards the white wires. (I think that unit only has one white wire) If the white wire(s) are negative going, (you would have had to set that) then use a relay, acc to 86, ground to 87 and 85, 30 to white wire(s). Hope that clears it up.

I must be a complete idiot.... but if i connect the white wire from the 569 to the unussed accesory wire on the 569 (diode or no), how does that make my lights on the vehicle go on? In other words what am I connecting to the vehicle's parking light wire? Thanks for your patience.

Read your 569t's instructions, "plug H1/8 white wire, parking flash output" why are we bothering if you don't know what your parking light output is?

I think you are misunderstanding me. I know what all the wires are........but you seem to be telling me to connect that output (H1/8) to another 5689T output the Acessory 2 (which is H2/something)....which makes no sense to me.....it is like holding hands with myself....you dig? Did you mean to say to first attach the H1/8 white wire together with the 2nd accessory and THEN connect both to the vehicle & this would result in the parking lights staying on steady during remote start? Because that would be wonderful. Please don't yell at me, I am very fragile.

Every DEI remote start I've ever done, I was able to go into the setting menu and change the parking lights to steady on by programming it withe the valet switch. Look in your installation manual. You shouldn't have to do anything extra, just have the wire hookep like normal and change the settings in the setting/features menu.

This is the 3rd 569T I have installed. I have read all the documentation from cover to cover. There is no valet switch. It is a very basic one-button system & doesn't offer an option for the parking lights. At least not one that is in the manuals. Not the end of the world, I can live with the flashing. Thanks cutdog, I appreciate the help.

Relax Coyote, wasn't having a go,I was trying to make you think! Now a secret....over here the Cat l alarms don't have any provision for controlling light output so I used a spare ign 2 and wired it to my lights (we actually use the indicators everywhere but North America) it works a treat. Cut dog, I looked at the instructions, generally you are quite right ref DEI but this one definately has no provision to change the light application from flashing to constant. If you aren't using the acc output, use that to feed that wire (any unused ign or acc output will do). I know it doesn't sound logical but assuming the white wire goes pos. from the unit that's all you have to do.

Ok, so I've never done a 569t, but every other DEI I've done had a feature to change the parking lights. "My bad"

Must admit I thought as you cut dog till I downloaded the install site, then I realised coyote was right. How come I own the German Shepherds and you've all got dog names?

I need to connect a remote start disarm wire to my vehicle which requires an 8.5K pulse. First question, I could only get an 8.2K resistor, is the close enough? Secondly...when I connect a 8.2K reststor to a 1N4001 diode (to isolate) and take an ohm reading across them both I get 2.5M ohms....so what do I have to do to get that 8.2K pulse through? Yes I am a beginner so please be patient. Thanks.
