For vehicle wiring info, pull up an installation guide for your vehicle at the following links:

I'm installing a scytek A4.2W .. I figured out most if the wiring already. I got the remote start working, got the locks working , parking lights . Now I'm stuck on the door triggers, trunk trigger and remote trunk release. I went on a few sites to get wire diagram but nothing showing for the 2018 standard key except wiresheet.com which I guess is omega site but the wire sheet they have is 90 percent inaccurate . I know sound crazy but trust me I look at there tech sheet An it's telling me wire colors and plugs that don't even exist in the vehicle. Tech sheet says pink wire for constant 12v and Ignition wire... there's no pink wire at all in the ignition harness .. than its having me looking for a 42 pin white connector to the right of the fuse panel... yea that doesn't exist either! I'm going into this car blind , no tech sheets at all so it's taking me some time.. any help with what I have left would be great. Oh btw anyone thinking about doing this vehicle .. anyone that tells you you need a bypass module ... you don't. This car evidently does not need one .. I bought one, flashed it, hooked it up, programmed it An nothing .. took it all out An Bam the car started, locks functioned perfect .

Hi, I’m not familiar with this product but hopefully this information will help
Note: if you have connected a bypass module like Idatalink, directed DB3 or a Fortin, all connections are communicated to remote start/alarm module via CAN connection and no physical connections are needed.
Here are the physical connections needed to do W2W.
