Hey gang. I'm 99% sure that the wires I've matched up are correct. The only ones I'm unsure of are the door lock/unlock wires and the door input. This is the diagram for the remote starter
and here are the wires for the vehicle
Only wires I was unsure of are the VIOLET door (+) input/GREEN door (-) input (which one do I use and connected to which vehicle wire?) and then what wires do I connect the Green Lock unlock/Blue lock unlock to in the vehicle?
Thanks for any help fellas and if there is anything else you need please let me know

RSX Responder LE
POWER LOCK WHITE/ BLUE (TYPE B) IN DRIVERS KICK PANEL, at DOOR HARNESS Green
POWER UNLOCK WHITE/ GREEN (TYPE B) IN DRIVERS KICK PANEL, at DOOR HARNESS Blue
DOOR TRIGGER GREEN (-) and LIGHT GREEN/ RED (-) See NOTE *2 @ SECURITY MODULE See NOTE *1
NOTE *1 THE SECURITY MODULE IS TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN.
NOTE *2 WHEN CONNECTING TO AN ALARM SYSTEM USE BOTH OF THESE WIRES AND DIODE ISOLATE, See DIAGRAM
https://www.bulldogsecurity.com/diagrams/extrainfo/diagrams/14301_RSX_(-)%20NEGATIVE%20DOOR%20PIN%20ISOLATION%20CIRCUIT.pdf
The Violet Door Input (+) would not be used. The above listed door triggers are (-) and would be diode isolated and
connected to the Green Door (-) Input wire.

Awesome! Thanks Kreg! I thought that was what I was reading but wasn't sure.
Also, where do I wire the two wires for the door lock/unlock harness?
And if I wanted to wire up the Rear defroster, I understand I wire it to just before the rear defroster relay, but which wire would i use on the remote start unit?
Thanks so much!!

The Responder Lock and Unlock wires connect as below:
RSX Responder LE
POWER LOCK WHITE/ BLUE (TYPE B) IN DRIVERS KICK PANEL, at DOOR HARNESS ---> Green
POWER UNLOCK WHITE/ GREEN (TYPE B) IN DRIVERS KICK PANEL, at DOOR HARNESS ---> Blue
Rear Deforster is Yellow/Black(-) wire at Defroster Control Switch. Have to test it, but probably a 7 minute latched output from an AUX will work.

Kreg, so you are saying that the same two wires that connect to the Green door (-) input will be used on the Door unlock/lock harness wires?
The rear defroster is the yellow/black wire, not the BLACK / YELLOW wire? and I'll just hook it up to one of the AUX connections! WOOT! Thanks Kreg, you've been a great help.

We are talking about two different things here. The door lock and unlock circuit and the Door Trigger circuit.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The two outputs from the Responder, Blue and Green door lock harness wires go to the cars two lock and unlock wires as shown:
The Responder Lock and Unlock wires connect as below:
RSX Responder LE door lock harness
POWER LOCK WHITE/ BLUE (TYPE B) IN DRIVERS KICK PANEL, at DOOR HARNESS ---> Green
POWER UNLOCK WHITE/ GREEN (TYPE B) IN DRIVERS KICK PANEL, at DOOR HARNESS ---> Blue
This circuit locks and unlocks the doors.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx
The door trigger circuit goes to the Responders Green (-) Door Trigger input wire as shown :
DOOR TRIGGER GREEN (-) and LIGHT GREEN/ RED (-) See NOTE *2 @ SECURITY MODULE See NOTE *1
NOTE *1 THE SECURITY MODULE IS TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN.
NOTE *2 WHEN CONNECTING TO AN ALARM SYSTEM USE BOTH OF THESE WIRES AND DIODE ISOLATE, See DIAGRAM
https://www.bulldogsecurity.com/diagrams/extrainfo/diagrams/14301_RSX_(-)%20NEGATIVE%20DOOR%20PIN%20ISOLATION%20CIRCUIT.pdf
This circuit provides door status to the Responders' alarm portion. ------------- Soldering is fun!

Ahhhh, I see. Thanks for that clarification.
Absolute last thing Kreg. ;) How big of a diode should I use in line with those two wires?

Kreg. Thanks again for all your help!

Look for a 1N4001 at Radio Shack. 1N4004 will work, too.

place diodes on the lock/unlock since they are flip flop locking wires.

Also, does anyone know where I am supposed to hook up the blue wire on a 556u? I'm hoping to wrap this up tomorrow. Thanks gang!

Thanks to you guys everything is running beautifully! I need to hook up the defogger tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.
The only thing that doesn't work are the parking lights. I hooked into the RED / black at the back of the fuse box, but there were two there. Did I just pick the wrong one or am I totally in the wrong place?
Thanks again!!

I always feel safer going to the (-) Parking Light wire. Just make sure you set the Parking Light jumper correctly.
PARKING LIGHTS ( - ) BLUE (-) @ HEADLIGHT SWITCH as per Bulldog Security
Low Crr. Pk Lights BLUE (-) HEADLIGHT SWITCH as per Audiovox ------------- Soldering is fun!

For rear defrost, use the 2nd status wire (blue/white in the small 5-pin harness). You'll need to program it from status output to latched rear defogger in the programming menus (instructions for this should be on the back of that sheet you posted, or in the installation manual). The benefit here is that the brain will turn the defrost on automatically based on temperature (only when its below 55 degrees) when you remote start as opposed to having to manually fire the Aux channel each time you want to turn it on. You can also still manually turn the defrost on by pressing [Function - Function - Function - Function - Remote Start]. Hope this helps, good luck with it!

Thanks Kreg! I'll link in up there. When you say make sure the jumper is correct, what does that mean? I know there is the jumper in that little box but why?
Thanks Cyclops! That was the wire I was gonna use! I'm glad to hear that it will automatically turn on in cold weather. I was not aware it would do it automatically.

Your Responder remote start unit has the capability to output either a (+) or a (-) Parking Light signal on the White wire. Depending on the vehicles needs, you can select the correct polarity via the jumper.
