Help please I have a carvox 2300a black egale alarm / remote starter system that is now installed in my car but i can seem to get it to remote start my car. I did what the books said to do with it to get it too remote start which is before turning off the car place into park, set parking brake, turn off ING., remove key and car should stay runing ( and it does stay runing) exit the car and close doors then hit lock button on remote. then the car is ready for remote starting so then you hit the star and unlock buttons on the remote and when i do so all the dash lights come on with check engine lights and i hear the fuel pump runing and then the light shut down and no starter engaugement. i hope someone could please help me out my e-mail is irocz28@comcast.net i check this email here on this site about 4-6 times a day i would be willing to pay someone with my paypal account for there time if we get it working. -Dave

you can't until you reach standard status. If I had to guess I would say you have an 89 iroc z, and it is that blue color.

The make and model is a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria p71 ex police car, it is really strange because it will stay running after I had set the e brake just following setting it into park just as the manual say to do before a remote start may be done. So with that being said I believe that all the wires be hooked up correctly but I guess there must be some kind of programming that need to be done that I don’t know about I had read the whole manual and I can’t seem to be getting any ware with it.

Well, the only thing I can think of is perhaps a connection issue with your starter wire? You may want to check and make sure it is hooked up properly and that you have it connected to the right wire in the car. From what I can see the starter wire is a WHITE/ pink wire. You should test it first with a multimeter to make sure. If that doesn't work you may want to check your ignition wire. Since it seems to stay running after you take your key out, than that's probably hooked up right. Your car appears to have 3 different ignitions wires but in some vehicles it isn't necessary to power them all. ------------- I'm not a professional installer.

Did you hook up the anti-grind relay? I do not know if that system even offers it, but the biggest culprit I have seen for this type of scenario is the installer hooked up the key and starter sides of the wires backwards.

I see what you are saying if the starter wire coming from the alarms starter module is on the other side of the relay as the starter module that is trying to send current to engage the starter, the alarms security module has the relay grounded for anti theft and wont receive the request. I had thought of that also and checked and looks right. I had also tried shutting all the doors and probing it with the test light and just to see if the starting module would send current to the start wire but it won’t just powers up the ing and acc wires, the dash light check engine lights come on and radio and blower motor but no starter engagement. I have the brake wire hooded up and like I said before it stay running after set the brake and removing the key, will pay 100 bucks via PayPal to the person who can fix this mess I am about to make a new post alarm for say I had 3 of them for my cars this is nut though. I think this system has some way of programming it thought the remote like gas/diesel, automatic/manual. And I had played around with these settings and still no luck. Someone who has this system who had success with it is going to be the one to crack it maybe. I am pulling y hair out here people......

the anti grind relay is hooked up and the wire coming from the starting module is not on the key side

I'm assuming you have bypassed the Ford transponder key and that the bypass is functioning correctly? https://64.85.6.121/diagrams/Images.asp?ImageID=416&link=BULLDOG If you haven't the first thing I would try is leaving the key in the ignition while attempting the remote start scenario. Do not do that if you do have the bypass installed and working though as this would introduce 2 keys into the system at the same time and could lock up the BCM on the vehicle. Does your dash have a security light when you are trying to start it?
Did you hook up a door sense wire. I would think that the remote starter has to see that as well before wanting to engage the car starter. Can you link to the install manual or scan a page of the pinout diagram. Also send a decent pic of the remote because the one on ebay looks like a complete knock-off of a directed 2-way remote and I want to see what it actually looks like. Also try just hooking a test light to the starter output wire from the brain and then try it and see if thats even lighting before messing with the starter-kill relay.
After it fails do you get any LED code flashes or parking light flashes for troubleshooting purposes. Does the unit have troubleshooting diagnostic light flashes? Is there a tech support line for this product? ------------- Steve G

I don’t know what the deal is with these units, I had all the wires correct and followed the directions front and back step by step and double check all the wiring and I had even removed the start kill relay just as a last resort and before I had removed the starter kill relay I did check the wires with the test light and nothing from the “brain” of the starter unit. The engine would not stay running when you would turn off the key if the e-brake was not on, just as it says in the manual and when the engine was running and you would hit the brake pedal the engine would stop running. The module would turn on the dome light though the lighting control module when you would hit the unlock button on the remote. The alarm would sound off when the system is armed, if any of the doors, or the trunk were open and if you had hit the side of the car with your fist. I really liked this alarm because you could have it wired to roll up your windows, pop your trunk, turn on rear defrost or other really option, lock and lock doors, ect. I am thinking it may be something with the remote you need to program the system like gas/diesel, auto/man Trans, and I just got fed up with it. I think one of the reasons why it may not has started up is because I have a 2000 Pontiac Trans Am engine and transmission in my Crown Victoria and the way I have the fuel pump circuit set up, this alarm system is looking for the voltage surge of the fuel pump kicking on and then off before it continues to go forward to engage the starter, but who knows. I had installed a viper system and it works great I had just cut the wires from the old system and spliced into the same connection because I did not feel like desoldering them from the cars harness and since everything was correctly wired it made the install of the new unit a walk in the park. The only thing that I did not hook up on the old alarm was the doors lock and unlock wires, that could of have been the problem maybe.

Carvox starters just dont work on some cars, I have 4 of them installed.
The last install was on a Grand Cherokee and no matter what I did, it would start the engine then grind the hell out of the starter while the engine was running. The other 3 installs were on two crown vics and a town car (same engines in all 3). The remote start works fine, until it gets into cold winter weather then it does not start and triggers the alarm. In fact there are many posts about this issue on this forum. To get around this, since the options and remote range are good on these units, I just bought a $50 stand alone remote start unit and hooked it up to the carvox aux channle to trigger remote start.
