I am starting a new installation of a Compustar 1WAM-S remote start on the wifes 2000 Durango. This is a first time remote start for me but I have done various audio installs and have a degree in industrial electronics.

That being siad, I have the connections chart on the back of the CM4200-VF controller, the wiring list from the12volt wirings page and access to Mitchell OnDemand5 for further vehicle specific wiring digrams. Will I need any other components, relays, diodes, resistors, etc. to perform this install? From my reading I've seen some issues with the door lock cicuits but I'm not real sure if it applies to my Durango or not? Also I;m pretty sure the 2000 Durango does not require a key code module (I have the standard black key).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jeff

Do you know what wire from the car to connect the Hood Pin signal to? I am using this wireing chart for my intall.

https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/alarmdetail/711.html

Also does anyone have advice on the (+)12V Constant (Starter ACC) signal? I've used the RED from Ignition for (+) 12V Constant, YELLOW from Ignition for (+)12V Output to Starter, DARK BLUE from Ignition for (+)12V Output to Ignition, BLACK/ WHITE from Ignition for (+)12V Output to Accessory and BLACK/ ORANGE from Ignition for (+) Selectable by Jumper (2nd Ignition). I'm not sure whats left for (+)12V Constant (Starter ACC)?

Thanks
