Romote start 2006 Sequoia

Hey guys, I've been reading and studying as many posts about adding a remote start to my 06 Toyota Sequoia and figured it was something I could tackle. I have a good grasp on electrical work, have installed many stereos and such and figured I could tackle this.... Now I'm second guessing myself, yet still don't want some hack kid at the stereo sop putting splicers all over.

My setup is a Toyota with factory keyless entry, no alarm. The remote start is a Viper 4706V to which I purchased a XK01 and XK05 to which I appropriately flashed. I do not have a D2D wire setup and figured I'd just solder everything W2W and I have 2 of the XK adapters.

Everytime I start to sort wires, labeling where I think they will go and connect, I start getting confused as to what will connect where. Does anybody have a wiring diagram on what wires will need to go where with my setup. I really don't want to pay for a hack job somewhere, but am starting to feel I might have to as I seem to have problems even properly wiring the XK adapters to the 4706V. (example XK01 violet/white) is a negative output for door sense trigger... does this connect to the green #15 for (-) door input.... this is confusing as the colors are off and the 4706 doesnt have a label (door sense trigger on any of their vague instructions.) I appreciate any help in advance

if it helps, I plan on D2D to the XK05 and W2W on the XK01. Ultimately, I need to know what wires are used and what aren't... and if at all possible, the color of wire on the vehicle they correspond with

This will be all W2W, sorry.  D2D doesn't save many wires...

OK.  Here goes...

Soldering is fun!

i had just typed up an excell spreadsheet detailing where I thought everything went... I was VERY close... Kreg, I APPRECIATE the response more than you know!... you are definetly an asset to this site as I've read quite a bit of your postings

Heres what I had, but am confused on 2 connections...
XK05 blue & 4706V 8-pin pink. The above chart shows XK05 attaches to the pink in the ignition harness and the 4706V connects the pink 8-pin to the BLACK/ red in the ignition harness with the XK05. I just want to verify the connections go to the same locations. Also, the blue/white #2 pin on the 4706 24 pin goes to a defroster output... is there a way for me to turn on my defroster using this?

Heres the connection log I had created:

The XK05 w/PKT2 firmware install guide specifically lists all of the connection points except the Blue wire.  It  just says
Ignition In from vehicle.   The easiest way to obtain that input is to connect this Blue wire to the Vipers thick Pink IGN1
wire being as that Pink wire is going to the same place.  Typically, I keep all the R/S modules close to each other and
condense / bundle the wires together according to their final destination in the vehicle.  Keeps things neat.

As for the Sequoia's Defroster wire, here is the info from Omega :
Rear Defrost      WHITE/ BLUE (-)      AT DEFROST SWITCH

It does not specify if a momentary pulse or a latched output is required.  You will have to test this wire while manually
turning on the vehicles defroster and then program the Viper ( Menu 3, Feature 11, Opt 2 or 3 ) accordingly.  Also,
don't be surprised if the defroster comes on ( ~10 seconds after the engine is remote started ) but the dash indicator
light remains off. 

If you want, you can get the Brake Input at the switch above the brake pedal as you mentioned, instead of in the DPK.

Same for the Tach Input, which ever location is easier to access.

Soldering is fun!

Perfect, thanks kreg... pretty much what I was thinking, but glad to have an experienced opinion. Confirming and adjusting a few of my thoughts.... Have a great weekend

Ok, so I took a whack at wiring and it wasn't to bad. I do have a couple problems. When I start, it runs for a short time, shuts down then restarts... keeps doing this until I shut it off. I can only assume it's a tach input no reading right (it's connected as Kreg listed above) second, when it is running on remote, the a/c - heat controls don't power up or run. I did not connect the defrost as I wanted to tackle the basics first. when the key is in and on, everything works as it should.

Ideas?

So I changed the remote start to voltage sense and it stays running. the a/c is still dead. the steroids comes on, and these are a bunch of lights on the instrument cluster (abs, center locking differential, 4lo, 4 hi, airbag, low tire. if I use the key, it shuts off the lights and turns on the a/c.

and please excuse my spelling/grammer... my galaxy thinks it knows what I want to say... example, stereo, not steroids.... or rooted

Double check all your thick ignition connections.   Verify that there is +12V constant on all the fused RED / xxx input wires. Verify that the Orange wire is connected to the Pink ACC1 wire and gets power during a R/S.

Soldering is fun!

will do... I'll check in the morning.. I figure it's something sinple, thanks again

ok, here's what i found... all wires are connected correctly (as described above)

prior to remote start, I get
RED / black 13.66v
pink/black 0v
pink/white 0v
red 13.66v
violet 0v
orange 0v
RED / white 13.66v
pink 0

running on remote start
prior to remote start, I get
RED / black 13.21v
pink/black 0v
pink/white 13.21v
red 13.21v
violet 0v
orange 13.21
RED / white 13.21
pink 13.21v

with the key in stereo and in the run position while still started on remote (climate control now comes on, dash lights extinguish)
prior to remote start, I get
RED / black 15.94
pink/black 0v
pink/white 15.94v
red 15.94v
violet 0v
orange 15.94v
RED / white 15.94v
pink 15.94v

When I take the key out, still running on remote, the voltage drops again, dash lights come back and the climate control stops. the stereo is on, but that appears to be the only accessory working on remote start.

What do you have the Pink (+)Ignition 1 Input/Output wire on the remote start hooked to?

pink from the 8 pin is going to the BLACK/ red of the ignition harness. I did some further testing. there appears to be a second accessory wire (BLACK / YELLOW) in the ignition harness. no wires are connected to this... could this be a secondary acc to power the climate controls where the pink (in the ignition harness) is a primary acc for stereo and such?

Do you have two BLACK/ red wires, or are the pink and pink/white going to the same one? I would think pink should go to BLACK/ red(ignition 1) and pink/white goes to BLACK / YELLOW(ignition 2).

I have it as follows.
remote start 8 pin.

remote RED / black to ignition WHITE/ blue (constant 12v)
remote pink/black not connected
remote pink/white to ignition black red
remote red to ignition WHITE/ red (12v constant)
remote violet to ignition BLACK/ white
remote orange to ignition pink (accessory)
remote RED / white to ignition WHITE/ blue (constant 12v w/remote RED / black
remote pink to ignition BLACK/ red

The ignition wire set has 6 wires. As you can see above, 5 have been tapped for the remote start, leaving a black yellow untapped and to appear to be an accessory wire as it does not feed 12v until the key ia in the on position. The orange remote wire to the ignition pink becomes live at the key positon in the acc level. When the key is at acc, the climate control does not work...and when in the on position, it works... it appears to me the the BLACK / YELLOW powers the full set of accessories including the climate control... before I tap it, I wanted to make sure it won't fry somethibg... the idea is to bring remote start orange to BLACK / YELLOW ignition.

I went for it, and it works with orange moved to BLACK / YELLOW... all is good now

also, by moving the orange to the balck / YELLOW. the dash lights went out, but so does the stereo as it appears to feed on the pink accessory wire. This is fine as there is no need for the stereo to be on when it's running on remote... I've yet to see any other function that runs off the pink as the windows and all accessories come on as normal now that I have BLACK / YELLOW connected

ok, so new problem... I found out I have a factory alarm... never heard it, and not even sure what it takes to set off, well, other than the remote start.

occasionally when I remote start, the factory alarm goes nuts with no side effect to the starting/running other than flashing lights and honking. I can kill the alarm by unlock in on the factory fob.

ideas how to keep the alarm from going off when I remote start?

I was reviewing my install notes.. yes I write everything down to refer to later if there's a problem. I chose not to connect the XK05 green wire to the status loght in the dash... does this have any effect on the factory alarm. I figured it was an option to flash the dash light to replicate an alarm, but now wonder if it controls the alarm somehow. Thoughts on any of the problems with the alarm?

further update, the security light flashes until the key is put in. when remote start is activated, the blinking light occasionally stays blinking, even after the key is inserted and turned on. hope this helps diagnose this problen

Just got back from a trip. Want to apologize for this mistake :

1 RED / BLACK (+) 12VDC CONSTANT           WHITE/ blue (25A)  +  @ ignition switch
2 PINK/BLACK (+) FLEX RELAY INPUT 87A not used
3 PINK/WHITE (+) IGNITION 2 / FLEX OUTPUT        BLACK/ red  +  @ ignition switch
4 RED (+) 12VDC CONSTANT INPUT WHITE/ red (25A)  +  @ ignition switch
5 VIOLET (+) STARTER OUTPUT      BLACK/ white  +  ignition switch
6 ORANGE (+) ACCESSORY OUTPUT          pink  +  ignition switch
7 RED / WHITE (+) 12VDC CONSTANT INPUT WHITE/ blue (25A)  +  @ ignition switch
8 PINK (+) IGNITION 1 INPUT/OUTPUT         BLACK/ red  +  @ ignition switch plus XK05 Blue

Somehow I listed the BLACK/ Red Ignition wire twice, with the Pink and Pink/White going to it.  Duh!  Sorry.  The Sequoia
does indeed have 2 Ignition wires and both need to be powered during a remote start.  So...
1 RED / BLACK (+) 12VDC CONSTANT           WHITE/ blue (25A)  +  @ ignition switch
2 PINK/BLACK (+) FLEX RELAY INPUT 87A not used
3 PINK/WHITE (+) IGNITION 2 / FLEX OUTPUT        BLACK / YELLOW  +  @ ignition switch
4 RED (+) 12VDC CONSTANT INPUT WHITE/ red (25A)  +  @ ignition switch
5 VIOLET (+) STARTER OUTPUT      BLACK/ white  +  ignition switch
6 ORANGE (+) ACCESSORY OUTPUT          pink  +  ignition switch
7 RED / WHITE (+) 12VDC CONSTANT INPUT WHITE/ blue (25A)  +  @ ignition switch
8 PINK (+) IGNITION 1 INPUT/OUTPUT         BLACK/ red  +  @ ignition switch plus XK05 Blue
Which you figured out with husker_fan's help.  Above is how the H3 thick wires should be.

I believe the XK05 instructions say the Security Light connection is somewhat optional.  If the Security Light does not
blink after a remote start and key take over, then no need to make this connection.  However if it does what is happening
with your light after key take over, then you should run that wire.

Tha KS for the update Kreg...I don't recall any of the factory alarm problems when I had the orange connected to the pink... moving it to the black yellow solved a problem, but appears to have possibly created the alarm issue... I'll reconnect thw orange to pink and move pink/white to BLACK / YELLOW and report back (Im a fan of sharing my results for others to see in the future)

Ok, everything is hooked up including the XK05's green wire to the light/green security light wire, pin 16 on the 40 pin behind the insturment cluster. Now everything works at remote start on startup (radio, a/c cluster and such) My problem is the damn factory alarm keeps going off when I remote start. If I unlock and relock then start before 30 seconds (before the factory alarm rearms) then it'll start with no alarm..... how do I defeat the factory alarm on remote starting? Is there a way to program the 4706v to quickly unlock/start sequence/relock?

I just was going over everything and noticed pin 14, green black factory disarm is not connected... of this needs to connect, where does it go

Don't think a single .8 second Disarm pulse will do it.

The easy way to disarm the Factory Alarm system prior to a remote start is to connect the (-) 2nd Status wire to the Sequoia's Keysense wire.

Keysense     YELLOW /GREEN (-)      @ ignition key switch, white 2 pin plug, pin 2

If you are using it for the Defrost function, then...  ( on Compustar systems you can program multiple GWR outputs )

If the Viper allowed "Unlock before remote start and Lock after" you could do it that way, too.

Soldering is fun!

I think I got it... connected pin 23 (orange -200 ma accessory output) from the viper to the keysense. Any resonator this wasn't a good idea?

Well, I ended up going with the blue/wite pink 2nd status output as I can't get the defroster to work without a bit writer anyhow.... since I don't have one, it's not really an option for me.... so far all seems to work right

First off, I will say it here... I'm a boob... totally forgot I could program the 4706 via the control button. Once I figured that out, I got it buttoned up and working EXACTLY the way I wanted.

I connected the rear defroster output to the switched wire. I needed to program the output to latched to control the defroster properly.

To override the alarm, I connected the #1 pink/white (-)200ma Ignition/flex output to the keysense.

No more alarm on startup, I programmed the temp to show on my keyfob and the defroster works when I send the command.

If there is any problem with the way I hooked any of the latest up, please let me know

If it works that way, let it ride.  Typically, on most R/S systems, (-) Status Output ( aka GWR ) comes on slightly before the Ignition wire is turned on.  On some cars having Keysense and Ignition come on at exactly the same time would cause an issue.  If the Sequoia is OK with that timing, great.
