my pkh34 just arrive, but i cant seem to get it working. i had installed ak105b on the car, and its working in pristine condition.
connected the wires properly. wired the violet wire from pkh34 into light green wire in the ignition 7 pin connector (between the 2 pink wires)
press & held the program button, led comes on, turned ignition. after holding for half a minute, led still on, did not blink once.
unplugged the power, held the program button while plugging the power back in. and the led light stays on, no blinks either. wont even let me reset it.
havent got a clue what to do..

Think you have the wrong Light Green Data Wire. There should be a Yellow wire at Pin 2 right next to it that tests as an Ignition wire. It is a very pale Light Green wire that is very thin and somewhat fragile.

Here is a photo of the transponder connector with the correct wire marked from the excellent 2007 Civic Pictorial posted by forum member Kenny.

i tried with that wire too. am i supose to plug the ignition harness back to the steering wheel? cause i unplugged all 5 wires (ign, starter, 12v, acc, on 1, on 2) for my remote and push start.
but even without those wires, i should be able to reset it, even thougg i never programmed it.

Unplugged? Not sure if I understand correctly.
With a normal remote install, the thick ignition wires from the unit are just soldered on to the
correct vehicle ignition wires at the ignition harness. While your AdvancedKeys system is
slightly different in that a key is left in the ignition switch ( which is left in the ACC position ),
the vehicles main ignition harness should not be disassembled and should be still plugged
in to the ignition key cylinder like normal.
There is one gotcha with your vehicle. You have two Accessory wires and only one Ignition
wire and the AdvancedKeys unit is designed to handle two Ignition wires and only one Accessory
wire. This isn't a problem for a normal R/S system but with your system and the fact that the
key is left in the ACC position all the time... Well, if Kenny is out there, I will let him explain the
ramifications.

oh i didnt know i still need the ignition wires connected to the original harness in the steering column, since everything on the car was working, except the bypass.
theoretically, i can reset the pkh34 with just the 12v and ground wires connected, is that correct? but i cant seem to do a reset on it. i pressed abd held the button when its off and didnt let go even after half a minute after i powered the pkh34 back up. the light just came on and never went off.

Not sure on the PKH34 reset procedure as I have never had to do it. They usually program
correctly the first time for me.
Never used the AdvancedKeys system but beware that there is a error in the wiring diagram
on Page 6 of the PSB05 Install Guide ( https://www.advancedkeys.com/docs/AK-PSB05.pdf ).
The Starter & ACC wire labels are swapped...
