Did you try there web site? If no web site I'd call the company directly. Or maybe another forum user that has one can reply. Good luck.

The information that you gave here is pretty vague at best. Is there any identification writing or embossed information on the CPU or the remote control ? ------------- Jeff

Yes. It is an remo start remote control engine starter manufactured by sunbird. It's model number is DG-003. The company name on the box is Sun:Elec. It has seven wires coming out that appear to be 12 or 14 gauge that have a white plastic plug in connector. The plug in will accept 8 wires but there are only seven. They are colored red,green, blue, blue with white stripe, black, yellow and yellow with red stripe. There are two smaller wires exiting at the same location. Probably 16 or 18 gauge, I believe one is an antennae and the other is a bonnet sensor. The last wire is probably 16 gauge, it goes to a small control panel that you mount in the car to arm the system I guess. It has one push botton with red and green LED's. The remote has an on and off button with a red LED and a small wire antennae. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

the "remo start" remote starter DOSEN'T come with instructions, seems the company wants apro to install it or they are going out of buisnes, most good quality remote starters have some basic wiring on the box body or at least the wire pin outs provided in paper for you.

PS It seems to me that a little logic and some bench testing could solve this mystery.Generally your red and black are your 12v + and -,yellow is generally the ignition,the others are giong to be ignition 1,2,and possibly 3.Do a little experimenting on the bench,should be able to figure it out.Wire in your black and red,check the other functions by using the remote and a meter....... ------------- Joe

Hello all!! I am a new member to the12volt.com, and I am happy to come bearing gifts! LOL I have information on the Sunbird DG-003 remote starter that so many of us have unwittingly purchased without directions or even a way to contact the manufacturer. Lead routing is as follows: main harness- Solid Black--Chassis ground Solid Red-- Battery (+12v constant) Solid Blue-- Ignition #1 (Engine ECU, fuel pump, coil) Blue/White Stripe-- Ignition #2 Solid Green-- Accessory Solid Yellow-- Start #1 (Starter solenoid) RED / Yellow Stripe-- Start #2 20 ga. black--antenna Hope this helps......... and good luck. The plug will most likely have to be cut off, unless you can find a male end at Radio Shack or another electronics store...personally I intend to simply hard wire the system into my van. Good luck, Christopher

Joe, I dismantled the brain, and the connects were actually labeled on the printed board. Being a skeptic by nature, I got out the meter, power supply, and light bulbs and tested the connects for accuracy, and presto! ~Christopher

Thanks, Christopher. Doing the test meter/light bulb thing was something I intended to to "when I have time", so I'm glad you did it. You have helped many people. Thanks again!

Remostart.com never made the sunbird DG-003 remote starter as suggested, hence their database doesn't carry the installation manual for this remote starter.

jrs66ss, No offense, but I don't think you looked on the second page of this thread...the wiring legend has already been posted, no need for anybody else to tear theirs apart needlessly. Thanks ~Christopher

Quick question- is the 20 ga wire for the antenna the short black wire in the plastic bag? It looks as though the antenna uses a small jack to plug into the unit......
-------------
Joe

Joe, Quite honestly, I am not positive why there is the jack for an antenna plug. The small wire is indeed the antenna lead; and my opinion-and this is mostly speculation--is that it may be a remote trigger to be used in conjunction with another system, perhaps a compatible security system. The fact that the jack is also labeled 'ant' makes me think of the way a stereo system is wired, with the power antenna lead acting as a remote trigger for amplifiers and such. An antenna by definition is a coupling of any kind to recieve a signal, and this would fit that situation. Like I said, though, speculation. It definitely would not accept the vehicle's antenna plug, so it must be something else. Let us know how the install goes! ~Christopher

I bought one of these. They do not come with a manual and you can not get a manual. If you jopen the metal box you will see the PC bord. It will tell you what color wire goes to what. IE red to 12 volts, black to ground, etc. The guy sold thousands of these on EBAY. Yes it says "no instructions" but the seller knew there is no possible way the average person can install it! i gave him a really bad feed back and he gave me all my money back. Unless you are a electrical person you will not be able to install it. I spent 8 hours on it. I'm a mech. engineer and I gave up! If you know someone that installs alarms and other items in cars they will be able to figure it out. I have a new Dodge ram pickup and the starter will not work. I installed new batteries in the remote control button and it did light up. I applied 12 volts dc to the unit itself and it did light up also. The unit probably works if you can figure it out. If you bought this on EBAY, pressure the seller to give your money back with shipping! Give him a bad feed back if he does not! Good luck! PS I bought a good remote stater from PepBoys for $28.00. ------------- philbert
