ok so i just ordered the xk05 express kit and i am lost with what wires do i hook up to the cars immobilizer...i didnt even find any installation manuals out there to help me out...i know i hook up the brown wire to the status output from the remote starter but thats about it...also i had a hard time finding the starter wire...can someone help me?...i've been at it for almost half a day...haha
First, you want to make sure the XK05 is flashed with the correct firmware. It should be PKH2 V1.0.
Follow the install guide, available here : https://www.xpresskit.com/product.aspx?productid=346#m_PKH2
The wire colors are as follows: Green 5 Pin connector @ Ignition cylinder
XK05 Signal S2000
Violet/White Data Pin 2 RED / Blue - cut wire - Key side
Violet Data Pin 2 RED / Blue - cut wire - ECM side
Orange Synchro Pin 3 Pink/Blue
Red +12v
Black Chassis Ground
Brown GRW Remote starter ( GWR or AKA (-)200mA Status Output )
The Starter(+) wire is Blue/White in a Light Blue 24 Pin Plug to the left of the steering column.

your freaking awesome!!...thanks man!..
unsuccessful :-(...lol...my xk05 says pkt1 do you think that has anything to do with it?....i mean i wired everything up correctly with the remote start but on the xk05 all i get is a steady lit led light...no blinks or anything like the directions say?...what do you think i should do?
Yep, its either that or PKT2 firmware from the factory. A couple of choices.
1.) Buy the XKLoader USB cable and flash the correct firmware yourself. Cost about $30 @ "online auction".
2.) Try the local BestBuy and see if the friendly tech there will flash it for you. Tip well.
3.) Try any local Auto Accessory Install shops to see if they have the XKLoader cable and will do it for you. Tip well.
