i need help in installing an alarm/remote start in a 1997 mercedes c230

the alarm part is fine but the remote start part is making me crazy. i got the vehicle wire information but it will not sart. i was told to use the PURPLE / green wire to bypass the factory starter kill but i can not locate this wire. also the wire on the door lock pump in the trunk which need to be grounded for remote start to be possible and it's color?. please help, jeff or montreller and all out there. thanks.

Operates with normal one second ground pulse. These wires also trigger a factory starter kill on the base model cars w/o alarm system. Ignition controlled locking will cause a no-start problem because of this. The PURPLE / brown wire at the door lock pump located in right rear corner of trunk must be grounded for vehicle to start. There is also a single WHITE/ green wire at the dash mounted door lock switch that does not engage the starter kill. No information available at this time about interface with WHITE/ green wire.

jeff, there is no PURPLE / brown wire on the door lock pump in right corner

of the trunk. there are other colors. there is two plugs into the pump, one with three wires and the other below has about five wires. please be specific on which plug to locate this PURPLE / brown to grounded so that remote starting will be possible. also where is the PURPLE / green starter relay bypass wire which can crank the starter?. thanks.

I have been wasting a couple moment finding wiring too in those car ...

SO note this one

There is the easiest way i succed ...

Disarm with the unlock wire and use a relay to open the 12 volt(for the door lock pulse duration) feed at the vacuum motor in the trunk ( red grey or something like that ) it will result a regular disarm as easy as that oh yeah!

Even if you find the same wire in the driver kick panel dont open-it there because the alarm is else where after the kick pad so if there is no power it wont disarm.

Anything better folks?
