Hello everyone! I have searched and searched with out any answers. So I'm hoping this will help.

I have installed a Soundstream ARS.2 Into the 07 matrix. I have everything working and connected accept one thing. (-) door pin and (-) dome light supervision wires.

On all the records they say that the wires are both located "@interior light switch on dash" (I only have a dimmer for gauges located next to the mirror switch)
The door trigger to be red/white
the dome to be red/black. (relay needed)

I have looked and not seen the red/black wire. I see a red/white wire, but I'm pretty sure it isn't the one (because in the car it is attached to the mirror harness)( I tested the voltage and it did not move when the door trigger was pressed or released.) I have tapped into the door pin with the green (-) door wire from the brain but nothing happened. I'm not sure what it all is supposed to do. I thought and would like if someone opened the door(s) the alarm would sound if the shock sensor didn't catch any movement.

I have a relay part #775. I successfully attached it to the trunk release, but cannot figure out the dome light situation or where the wires are.

anything can help thank you!

Directed has dome as negative red/yellow at drivers side a pillar.

For door trigger they have negative red/white (driver door only); red (all doors) Drivers kick panel in harness that heads to rear of vehicle.

Thank you very much! I will try that this weekend! I will need relay still? How to correctly wire it?

Would it be best to attach door triggers or dome? Or does it matter since they technically do the same thing? (Only have one negative line) suppose the door triggers would be easiest?

Thanks again!!

Is the domelight supervision wire positive coming out of your alarm? If so then yes you will need a relay.

I have a negative and positive door trigger out of the 13 pin from the brain. There is no wire specific to dome light. However I thought they pretty much played the same operation

You can also find the door pin trigger in 3 way plug at the BCM, use the Soundstream NEG trigger wire.
BTW if your domelight comes on when you turn the ignition off you don't need to worry about domelight supervision.
Tach will be art pin 9 of your OBD (diagnostic socket).

If I have the light set to on it will stay on. If it's set to door, it will not turn on until I open the door.

Set it to door with the engine running and doors closed then turn off the ignition.
If the light turns on dome supervision isn't needed.
I already know the answer but let's see.

Your answer is correct. It stays off until I open the doors
Doesn't the door trigger and dome light have to be wired together for the alarm to sound?

Then you don't need dome supervision. It's already there.
Wire your NEG door trigger wire to the wire at the light (or BCM plug) that goes to ground when you open a door.
Dome light switched to door, doors closed. Dome light will turn off after about 1 minute.

I will try that! Thank you. Would the alarm sound if a door is opened when armed with that connection?

Of course! Even with the dome light switched off. 3 wires at the dome light, one is constant live, one constant ground, third wire that switches to ground when you open a door is the one you want.
Note, test thus:- Ign off, doors shut, dome light switched to doors, should be off, open a door, that wire open circuit will then go to ground.
Identical to BMW, Honda, Ford etc. etc.

No idea it varies. If there's a wire in pin 9 it will be tach. Google OBD it gives you pictures.

There is one in pin 9 if you count left to right top row, left to right bottom row. They are not labeled

Is that how you read them?

also having trouble with the dome light (-) trigger.

three wires. Black - white, Red - yellow, White - black.

Doors are shut - Blue - white reads 0.
red / yellow and white black together reads 12v

doors open - white / black reads - 0
red/ yellow and blue white read a -12v.

Also, I know I'm asking a lot of questions. However. My remote start will not operate because I have a transponder key. I have purchased a bypass that in theory should work. I placed my factory key inside of the unit, attached it to the brain of the alarm/remote start. There is an intenna (loop) that goes around the ignition key location. it failed to work. There is a amplierier imbolizer under the stearing collum next to the key insert. I was curious if I have to tap into that?

6 pin harness on bypass
red - 12v
blue (-) remote start negative
pink (+) ignition input
black - ground
violet (+) key sense
green (-) key sense

3 pin harness out for intenna is black - red and black that goes to loop antenna.
black white goes to nothing.

bypass is 556U immobilizer interface.

Currently I have the 12v and ground also the blue status wire hooked into the remote start brain.

red to red black to black (serves purposes of 12v and ground) and the blue with to the orange which is (-) input (bypass turn on)

not sure what I'm doing wrong.

thanks!

OK, for tach go to the injectors. One colour will be common to all 4, use any of the other colours.
Blue/white for the door triggers.
You appear to have wired the by-pass correctly, assume you have a key in it.
If you're not sure, box it up and go to a pro.

You shouldn't did you test the blue/white as I explained earlier, simplest way, ign off, doors closed, light set to dome,red end of DMM to 12V+ constant, other end to suspect wire, open door, meter should then read 12 Volts.

Look for a red/yellow wire driver door pillar.
You will also need to connect key sense, the wire orange BTW is this a status wire or the armed output when in alarm mode?
You will be need to split, "Y" shape two diodes, bands towards alarm/RS, 2 X 1N4004.

Doors closed ign off.
Red yellow + white blue = -0.12v
Red yellow + white black = 6.8v

Doors open ign off
Red yellow white black = 0.01v
Red yellow white blue = -13.25v

here is the diagram within the booklet installation guide.

13 pin:
green/white : rearm factory alarm system (did not use because there was not a factory alarm
green/black: disarm factory alarm system (")
pink/white: negative starter output: (did not use because I could not find a negative starter output wire and the car starts remotely without it)
red/white: trunk release: installed with relay
orange white/ orange black: out outs for aux: (did not use because I didn't have an aux in mind)
brown: brake switch
gray: hood pin (did not use)
purple/ white: tach
purple: positive door pin input
green: negative door pin output -detailed- " connect this wire to the door pin switch if it changed to negative when the door is open" (this is the wire I'm trying to attach to the dome light.)

6 pin:
purple: starter output
orange: heater/acc output: (I have not attached) - detail- this wire is 0v when the key is off, 12v in the acc and ign positions and off during start/crank
red 12v
red 12v
pink/white 2nd ign
pink: ignition output

4 pin:
brown: siren output
orange/black: starter-kill / anti ground output (did not connect)
white: parking lights
black: system ground

3 pin keyless entry
green (-) output for unlock
blue (+) output for unlock

That is all the information that was given to me.

You need to get a full diagram not enough info, you need either a NEG IGN. output or a status (GWA or ground when running wire to complete this install).
I think the wire you have marked as NEG starter is in fact NEG ignition, you can test thus, DMM to 20VDC, red probe to constant source, black to wire, should read 12VDC+ as soon as you press r/start button on the remote. BTW is this vehicle manual or auto because it might have to be programmed for one or the other.

I have both of the manuals on hand.
It's an automatic
So the diagram for the keysense will work with bypass for the chip in the key?
I'll look into the diodes.

Did not get a posted photo of the 4 wires I'm looking for

So the orange wire, from the brain to the (-) turn on from the bypass, with the diodes. Should do the trick?

I apologise. I'm just having trouble understanding. I will do my best to figure this out with the information you have given. Thank you so much for your time!

I wouldn't hold anyone responsible but myself.
I purchased 4 of the 1n4004.

I will run the diagram for the bypass tomorrow.

As far as the red/yellow in the driver's pillar, is that corresponding to the door locks? That's my assumption. I believe I'm confused because we were posting a few things at a time.

I know I may seem frustrating, however can you walk me through what portion of the red/yellow you speak of and what its fuction is. This is the last I'll ask of you.

Again I have 4 1n4004's to put into the lines needed.

2 go to the by pass via the diagram. However the other two I was a bit perplexed about. The red/yellow wire goes to the door triggers?

If I can get the line out of the dome and ditch that I would happily place it in the triggers.

When I had the green (-) hooked into my driver's door trigger it did work. But I would like the (-) door trigger wire to attach to any door that would open.

Thank you.

Red/Yellow is the door trigger! That's what triggers the alarm when a door is opened and is connected to the green NEG door trigger wire.
