Thank you very much! i didn't remember it being the difficult last time lol, am i putting all 3 high current inputs to 1 wire in the ignition harness (red)
so i only have to use the main large harness if I'm just doing remote start? all there other harnesses are garbage?

right, you can use all the power wires to the ignition harness. Technically you can just hook up the starter wire (yellow at ignition harness) to the purple (875vx) and not use the green wire or cut the wire in half. That's just really for starter kill if using the alarm feature, all up to you. You'll still need stuff like brake wire (brown on 875vx) ,tach wire (purple/white on 875vx),lights (white on 875xv) if your just doing the Remote start only.

sorry to bug you again just have to ask before i wire something up wrong, the 3 (30amp high current wires) does it matter where i wire them into?or just as long as its 12v constant?

I usually connect them to the heavy gauge wires at the ignition harness if there is more than one try to split between them

Thanks for all the help, i just have one more question/ issue. i get the system installed today. finally figured out out to sync/program and that was great but now when i hit remote start the remote chips and shows its about to work then it cranks but only for a split second. I'm sure its just not programmed to engage starter long enough how do i adjust the crank time on the 875xv?



Thanks again for all the help
