Does anyone know where to pick up the tach signal on this vehicle? I have looked at the wiring diagram and found that the ECU sends the engine speed signal to the instrument cluster via CCD bus, so there is no real "tach" signal. Can I use the engine speed sensor?

Double check this, since I have not done one of these in a long time and can't remember if this one is right, but I have BLACK/ gray or gray/black at coil passenger side of engine.
Hope this helps, like I said I havnt worked on one of these in a long time, but you should always be able to go to an injector.

Remember check all your wires with a DMM!

This has coil-on-plug ignition. Have you successfully used an injector signal to trigger a remote starter?
