Door and trunk are the same circuit, RED / blue POS at the puddle lamp under dash.
Is this a push to start?
If not it's really easy.

Thanks. I try that tomorrow. No, it is a normal remote start. Bought autopage, and remote start doesn't want to work. Or maybe I mist something then programming.

Draw a list of the alarm wires and colours and where you've connected them to which vehicle wires again showing the colours.
I think I already know where you've gone wrong, also what by-pass and did you use the loop?
Two basic errors by installers on these vehicles, you've either made one of both!

You will also need a GREY VALET key either you already have it or obtain it from a dealership (NOT a regular key) and a DEI 556UW by-pass box,
also let me know what model Autopage please.

Ah the joys of amateurs  , NEVER disconnect the battery (it's all right I've been there).
Run it a few miles, should clear if not dealer trip and about $100 unless you've access to a code clearing tool. ------------- Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.

Alarm system is autopage C3-RS 1100. Not connect yet bypass unit but got it 555B. Want to start car wiht ignitio key in side the car. But I see no ignition control from alarm system. For ignition I used:
ignition 1 output + violet White
Ignition 2 output + green
Starter output + black yellow
Brake pedal blue/red, but for me it more PURPLE / red.

Ignitions 1 and 2 are the wrong way round throw away the 555B it's a POS and use a 556U with the grey valet switch in it, wired as per "European car instructions", useless otherwise.
Brake light is BROWN / grey at the switch.
