2001 Jetta 1.8t Remote Start/Alarm

I am about to install an alarm/remote start on this vehicle and was wondering if anyone had any tips or easy ways to catch wires.
-I see that I might have to tap a wire in each door to get the door triggers...any other way?....also
-where can i find the parking brake wire instead of tearing the parking brake apart...need for turbo timer....
-door lock and unlock wires??? only in the door???
-window roll up and hood pin,trunk pin??? any
-ccm?? where is the comfort control module? what does it look like?
any help would be appreciated thank you

Hey ...whats up? What exactly are you installing? Manual, or auto?

-------------

manual, the alarm/rs I have is for manual transmission cars, so please do not delete....

No No NO....you still want to tell us what your puttin in.

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT	YES	TRANSPONDER	SEE NOTES
12 VOLTS	Red	Ignition harness	+
IGNITION	Black	Ignition harness	+
ACCESSORY	BLACK/ red	Ignition harness	+
STARTER	RED / blue or RED / black	Ignition harness	+
KEY SENSE	BROWN / red	Ignition harness	+
TACH SIGNAL	GREEN/ brown	Blue plug behind instrument cluster	AC
This wire is not present on some models. If so, you must use the crank sensor wire on the lower front of the engine. This wire is WHITE on a 2 pin plug. See the photo.
FUEL INJECTOR	Opposite from RED / violet	At any injector on engine	AC
LOCK	Yellow/blue	At module in driver's door	-
If the vehicle does not have power windows, the lock wires can be found directly at the alarm module without going into the doors. The alarm module is located on the left side of the steering column and the colors will be YELLOW/BLUE for lock/arm and YELLOW /GREEN for unlock/disarm. On either model, if you extend the ground pulse to either the lock or unlock wire, you can roll all the windows up or down.
UNLOCK	Dk.GREEN/ red	At module in driver's door	-
If the vehicle does not have power windows, the lock wires can be found directly at the alarm module without going into the doors. The alarm module is located on the left side of the steering column and the colors will be YELLOW/BLUE for lock/arm and YELLOW /GREEN for unlock/disarm. On either model, if you extend the ground pulse to either the lock or unlock wire, you can roll all the windows up or down.
GLO-PLUG SIGNAL	Blue/green	Blue plug behind instrument cluster	-
DOORPIN	Blue/gray	At alarm module on left of column	-
This is the domelight output wire. If you need the separate door triggers, they are BROWN / YELLOW (driver's door), BROWN / VIOLET (passenger door) and BROWN / WHITE (rear doors). All are found at the alarm module on the left side of the column.. However, if the vehicle is equipped with power windows, the wiring changes and you will have to go into each door to get the triggers.
HOODPIN	BROWN / red	At alarm module on left of column	-
TRUNK PIN	BROWN / black	At alarm module on left of column	-
TRUNK RELEASE	GREEN/ brown	At alarm module on left of column	-
FACTORY ARM	Arms with lock wire
If the vehicle does not have power windows, the lock wires can be found directly at the alarm module without going into the doors. The alarm module is located on the left side of the steering column and the colors will be YELLOW/BLUE for lock/arm and YELLOW /GREEN for unlock/disarm. On either model, if you extend the ground pulse to either the lock or unlock wire, you can roll all the windows up or down.
FACTORY DISARM	Disarms with unlock wire
A single pulse disarms the alarm, a double pulse will also unlock all the doors. FOR REMOTE START: The vehicle can be remote started without disarming the factory alarm by using a relay to open the BLACK/ BLUE wire (ignition sense) at the steering column during remote start. You will also have to run your remote starter's start output directly to the starter relay RED / BLACK on the back of the fusepanel to bypass the factory starter kill.
BRAKESWITCH	RED / black	At switch above brake pedal	+
PARKLIGHTS	Gray/purple & Gray/brown	At light switch harness	+
Left and right parking light circuits are independent and must be isolated with diodes or relays. See the TIP diagram.
HAND BRAKE	BROWN / yellow	Behind relay #173 on fusepanel	-
HORN	BLACK / YELLOW	Behind horn relay on fusepanel	+
CLUTCH SWITCH	RED / black	Behind starter relay on fusepanel	TYPE 1

i have the wiring diagrams, but just anything that I can use as far as catching certain wires...

Breathe deeply, and be calm.... In my opinion (remember in "MY" opinion) these cars suck to work on. Period! German design at it best. And I'm German......

-------------

have fun going to every single doorpin. :)

ah.....imma start it prolly next week....im gettin lazy hahaha thanx

okay i just finisheddoin this alarm/rs and i am having major problems....i went to every door to get the door pin....now when i arm the system it shows door open, but when i arm it again it doesnt show it....its like i have to arm it twice to make the door triggers get off ground or sumtin....i dont know where the tach wire is....please tell me where exactly..i have the 1.8t engine....my major problem is the door triggers acting up...i think it has to do sumtin with teh comfort control module maybe another arm wire or something.....please help

hey man i am having trouble with my alarm/rs install on my 01 jetta 1.8t....i went to every door to catch the door pins but now i have to arm the car twice so the alarm knows that the doors are not open or to get it off ground....how did u fix it?? my other problem is that its not catching the door triggers when it is armed unless i disconnect the factory comfort control module....any help would be appreciated....thanx

Is there a delay on the dome light?

-------------

The posted data sheet is wrong.......

The only door pin available at the CCM is the driver's door. All other doors are at each door respectively. BROWN / white. At courtesy light or at harness to the latch assembly. Goes direct to ground. No delay at all. There is also no usable tach or glowplug signal at the cluster either. All that info comes in from the ECM on the CAN bus or the k-line. A good tach is at the ECM, left plug, pale GREEN/ pale orange tracer, or at the injectors (gas), or the crank position sensor as mentioned. Glowplug, well, better off to use a 10 sec timer.

Or

Use an XK01, programmed for VWDL. Gives doorpin, hood, trunk (that are also available at the CCM, btw.), doorlock. No running into doors. Much easier.

The MKIV VW is not the worst thing out there to work on by any stretch of the imagination. Do an alarm in an older Jag sometime for some real headaches. The German stuff isn't bad at all.

Wherever I go, that is where I end up......

xk 01 is the way to go

2001 VW Jetta 1.8t
Manual

Alarm/RS Scytek 8000rs (made for manual transmission)

1. when arming aftermarket system...shows door open, but when i arm it again it doesnt show ....so its like i have to arm it twice.... i grabbed the door triggers at every door and diode isolated them.,...as well...

2. when i trigger one of the doors after armed it doesnt send door trigger signal to aftermarket alarm...only to factory alarm....but when i disconnect the factory alarm/comfort control module, and test the door triggers again...it sends the signal to the aftermarket alarm and it works....

3. I can not find the tach wire ont his car....and i am not sure where teh injector coil is....

any help would be greatly appreciated thank you

well when i hit arm the first time the domelight immediately turns off...but then i have to arm it again to get the car to arm because it will say that one of the doors are open....after the second arm it is good/....

save urself alot of headache use a data module like tke xk01

Better off heading to an injector on the 1.8T.......... right on top of the motor. Or a coil pack. Close to injectors.......

Getting at the ECU is not that bad, remove pollen filter cover, pull wiper arms, carefully remove the entire lower cowl at the bottom of windshield. Takes like 5 min to do. Pulling the cluster isn't that fun at all.......

can anyone confirm that the DB-VWDL will work on a jetta 1.8t 2001? thanx

okay i hooked up everything but i am having a problem with the key ring for the bypass. for sum reason it is not starting...i tried leaving the key in the cylinder and when it starts it sound like its mis-sfiring or sumtin...missing a coil or sumtin....doesn sound like it usually does when u start it with the key itself...please help....
