So I was checking out some garage sales last weekend and found a 2-way remote start alarm system for $35. At that price I figured what the heck... One problem is no wiring diagram was present. I looked in the download section but no luck.
I am hoping one of you has dealt with one of these units so im not stuck with a $35.00 paper weight. Here's a pic of the unit and the brand is impulse.
The wire colors starting from the left are.....
Remote start harness red red brown orange yellow violet
2nd harness violet white WHITE/ blk GREEN / WHITE green brown black red
3rd harness black blue/orange grey BLACK/ grey BLACK/ white WHITE/ violet orange BROWN / white.
Thanks in advance for any and all help! posted_image

The remotes sorta remind me of the Scytek ones (Model 5000RS-2W).

Aamp of America also had an alarm that looked like that but it was a house brand of theirs YEARS ago. I remember the fused white wire which I think was a parking light output and then on the other connector with the large wires, these were for constant/battery 12 volts, ignition 12 volts, accessory 12 volts, and so on.

I would try and wire it up on a power supply that has a solid 12 volts and then see if you can get it to work and identify inputs and outputs.

Even if you do get it working I would worry about the reliability and possibly having it fail when you don't want it to or damaging the car in some way.

Good call, I will try to "bench test" it. Yeah, it does look similar to a scytek I had in a previous truck. tried to match up the wiring with all of their different models, but no luck..... posted_image

I was hoping someone had a diagram so i dont fry anything. I would hate to hurt it while figuring out what wire did what. Maybe i will get lucky, and someone will be able to give me some insight on the wiring....
