Ok, I'm going to put a Compustar 2w900fm-as into this car. For remote start to work, I'm sure I will have to bypass the factory alarm.

The Vehicle wiring sais that it disarms on unlock, and arms on lock. Would it be best to just use the lock before / after starting feature on the remote starter, or should I use the disarm wire? The car requires double pulse unlock, and it disarms on unlock, so would it require a double pulse to disarm too?

I'm just trying to figure out the best way to do this before I start it.

I also wanted to know about window roll up modules. I would rather have it hooked up to an aux output than to have them roll up on arm.

Thanks

For future information, there is a blue / yellow second accessory wire that needs to be powered also on this car. Otherwise the ABS / trac lights will come on the dash while remote started. That would have been nice to know lol... And a single pulse to the unlock wire disarms the alarm.
