2008 subaru legacy climate/defrost

Hey folks,

I'm hoping you guys can help me out a bit here. The car is a 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited.

I've got a DEI remote starter. We've got it in the car and mostly functioning. The key bypass, shock, and glass break modules are working. The car starts, doors lock/unlock, and trunk pops. However, we are having a little trouble when the car starts remotely.

We have been unable to find the wire to tap into so that we can activate the rear defroster from the remote. Can anyone tell us where to find it, and what we need to hit it with?

Also for some reason, when the car starts remotely, the climate control does not come on. The factory radio comes on, but the climate control stays off. As soon as I get in the car and turn the key to the "On" position, the climate control fires right up. We're thinking we need to find a wire to activate that as well, but we don't know where it is or what we need to hit it with.

Can anyone throw me a bone?

The car has 2 ignitions and 1 accessory that need to be powered. That will fix your climate controls not powering up.
Ignitions - Green, and Blue
Acc. - Yellow.

I just did the exact same car for my mother last week. I didn't get a chance to find the rear defrost wire, but it would be nice to have if someone has the info.

i have found that a lot of cars have data rear defrost, no way that i know of to activate them with a simple - or + pulse, i was able to do it on my own car (03 impreza 2.5rs) but have not had much luck on most other cars.
