problems with remote car start maxima

I would consider adding a positive relay on the first starter wire, going to the second. Safer. Please add a 15 amp fuse inlie for more protection as well. Next check your tach sensing. This could be the conflict you are having here(ie: tries to crank 3 times then cycles down) Check tach settings.

Next make sure ALL necessary ignitions are connected correctly, and the final check on this vehicle is the bypass for the ignition immobilizer. (TRANSMOD) This takes some finesse with the bypass to operate correctly. Double check your placement for this.

Good hunting!

Yes please use tach sensing here. and to see how a transponder is supposed to work see this diagram at my relay site page 2  ( www.RELAYHELP.com )  Hopefully the transmod bypass you have is universal, and looks like ours.  Whe doing tack mode, go directly to the tach, solder it, and then power down your system to make any dip switch or tach

changes. Most system need to see NO POWER connected for changes to be processed. Go look at this info and try to apply it here.

Luck.

Wish I knew the product (the transmod bypass your are attempting to use) However,  when using ours, the "lasso" loop is placed between the little black reader box, directly atattched to the ignition switch, and the ign switch itself. You need to locate the "sweet spot"  that allows you to remotestart everytime. The key you are using in the box should be one of the original keys, not just a blank. If done right, the rem start will send a pulse when prompted to start, to the transmod bypass box, through the inserted key-to loop-to readerbox, allowing remote start.

That's what we are used to here. I again, am not certain how other manufacturers equipment approach this type of immobilizer bypass.

Nope, no can do. Don't have it onfile here.How many keys do you have for this car? I knowyou want to try to relay around this, but honestly, we'vetried. BELIEVE ME!Yes Designtech is problematic. I worked there 10 yearsago on the tech desk, and know it all too well. Ass Backewards most of the time!

This one is too hard to "play" with. I'd either have the customerpay for a 3rd key, and then do it right, or even bondo the key right to the readerbox. In either case, ya gotta surrender a key. I think the guy at www.12voltshop.com has the "keyless" types for 50.00 (too high!).

That's what I know my friend. If you figure out something different,please share your knowledge with all of us.ALWAYS helpfull.

You have to troubleshoot before you go trying to fix everything.

Stick a key in the ignition, but leave it in the OFF position...now attempt to remote start.  If it works, you have issues with your transponder bypass.  If it still doesn't work, you have other problems.  That'll get you started on the right track anyway.

Your problem is very simple. Your almost there ..... make sure that you are using a wire gauge smaller than 20 guage ( preferrably 24 gauge ) and you need to wrap the cylinder about 8 times ( not just two ) and wrap the entire key head about 10 - 12 times and then either hot glue the wire to the top of the key or tape it up good.

The problem is that the signal is not getting induced into the Immobilizer properly with only two wraps of the wire on the cylinder. The more wraps the better the induced signal. Try this and post your results.
