Hi, i am doing a remote start on a 2004 toyota sienna and i was hoping someone could help me with the power sliding door. The receiver puts out a constant pos signal as long as the button on the remote is held, but the customer wants the door to open with one push of the button. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The wire is purple at the bottom of the fuse box. All it needs is a pulse so it really doesn't matter whether the signal is a constant or not. He just needs to press the button. You need to flip it as it is a negative, but a quick pulse will open it totally and another pulse will close it.

It's still need a relay too right. to get a strong ground.  ------------- Johnnynguyen

Johnny, it is a low-current ground. As long as the aftermarket unit puts out a negative pulse, no relay should be needed.

What i am trying to do is make it so i can use a pulse from my alarm to open a relay inline with the siren of my alarm so everything else with the alarm will still work and i will stil get notification on my pager of a trigger but the actuall siren will not go off. I just want to be able to do this on a few select ocasions so i dont want to like cut the wire to the siren or anything. I am a little confused on the latching relay diagram on this site. Is there anyway i could use that without a 12v output. In other words i have found plenty of ways to make a pulse output constant, but how can i use a pulse to simply keep a relay latched in a certain possition. Also, the easiest way would be to use a standard relay with a constant 12v but will having a relay energized with the car not running for a coulple days sometimes drain the battery? I know that is quite a few questions there but any help would be greatly appreciated.

it is a skytec galaxy and i have seen the feature for silent arm, but does this just silence the arming chirp or the whole alarm. And while it is on silent will it still beep my pager if the alarm is triggered

This is probably a pretty basic question and one that i thought i would be able to find an answere to on my one but hours of forum and google searches and i have come up with nothing. I was looking at the skytek channel expander for my skytek galaxy alarm. Could someone please tell me in general how a channel expander works. Do you get seperate outputs by hitting a button a certain number of times or does it just split your signal so you controll several things simultaniously. Also do these work the same way with the diagram on here for using relays to create a channel expander. Will this give me additional seperate and distinct outputs, and if so how do i get to the different outputs. Thank you for your time and any help you are able to give me.

First off i would like to say that this is the first skytec alarm i have done and i would absolutely never buy any scytek product again, now i didnt get like the 40 dollar astra or whatever if i did id just say you get what you pay for but i got the galaxy 5100rs FM and this thing sucks! It doest give any auxilary output, it says it does, it has a button for it on the remote, it has a wire for it coming from the brain but the wires dont do jack when you hit the button. My hugest complaint right now is the quality of their connections which also suck! I had given up on trunk pop and my window module since i wasnt getting any auxillary output but everything else was working, so i put everything back together only to find that nothing works anymore. Upon further inspection i found the reason for this was that all 4 wires going from the antenna had come loose from their connnector into the brain, so here i am, i finally managed to pull the connector out of the brain but now i dont even know what wire goes to what pin to try to solder them myself. If anyone knows what wire goes to what pin i would apreciate the help, and take it from me. STAY AWAY FROM SCYTEK!

Failure to install an alarm incorrectly will most likely malfunction the unit. The quality of the Scytek equipment is very high quality. Amongst the best in the forum. They have been in the business for over 20 years. Before you post rude and onoxious comments get your facts straight. Only becuase you broke your own alarm you must bad mouth a company. Call Scytek and try to get some help, they are extremely helpful.

if it is very high quality why is there more than one posting about this alarm. I've installed it too and had a couple of bad units and they were installed correctly.He did not say he broke his antenna ribbon, or alarm, the pins came out, or fell out. Don't take his comments to the heart I know you worship Scytek like others worship DEI products. If that alarm does not have features to program like latch,etc. on your outputs you should of spend the extra bucks on another alarm/remote start, depending on what install you were planning on doing.
