2002 acura mdx, python 1400xp

Can anyone assist me in installing this system, maybe a step by step procedure for dummies lol. Ive never installed one of these before but done other car electronics stuff, even soldering. Sure i can do it w help.

Id greatly appreciate it!

There really isn't a step by step how to. Get a wire diagram for your car, get the wire diagram from the python, match up the wires and follow the instructions included with the starter. But to be honest, if you have to ask how to do it, you probably shouldn't be doing it. Making the connections is easy, but knowing how to test and what to test for can get tricky. If you do not know what you are doing 100% you can end up causing a lot of damage that will be VERY costly.

Keyless entry and remote start completed.

If anyone would like some help lmk. If using the PKALL it worked like a charm. Even tho my Python 1400XP system had D2D compatibility it did not work. Took a min to realize but i ended up having to just wire to 12v and ground. Then worked immediately!

Also, the tach and hood pin wire can be found in the car! No need to go thru the firewall. So for a heads up when u run the Lock/Unlock 2 wires to pass side go ahead and run 1 extra for the hood pin. The tach is on the drivers side. I found these after a couple hrs of trouble shooting w a DVM. What a PITA this install was. Just really time consuming not that its hard.

I do however have 2 issues:

1- When i lock the car w remote start fob the security light will NOT flash. Any pointers?

2- Found out at 5:30am this morning to NOT arm or lock the MDX with the OEM Factory key fob so that the security light WILL flash and then using the remote start fob to start the M. After it started and ran for 15-20 seconds the horn immediately began to go off and would not stop regardless of what button on what remote i used. Finally after 2-3 mins of loudest OEM horns ever it stopped.

Anywho if someone knows what a fix may be id greatly appreciate it. This was my first install on remote start system and ive tackled just about everything from engine swaps to non navi 06 TL to upgrading the 07-08 TL nav system. I soldered majority of all connections. Only initial issues i had once i attempted to start was the PKALL didnt work until rewired and forgot to plug in my antenna. Ha big whoops there!

you dont have the factory alarm arm and disarm wires connected.

connect lock to BLACK/ blue (-) @ pkp fuse box
you probably have it connected to BLACK/ orange right now.

connect unlock to Orange (-) @ pkp.

set unit to unlock-start-relock or to prevent that run a wire into the driver door, and connect to blue (-) disarm
