Remote starters easy installation




















Add further protection by taping them completely. Find and attach the accessory wire. The accessory wire supplies power to heat and air conditioning controls and supplies 12V when the key is in the first accessory position. Attach the accessory wire on the starter to the accessory wire on the vehicle.

The voltage should be zero in this position. Turn the key into the first position but no farther. If you have found your accessory wire, the voltage will now read around 12V In this case use a relay to connect additional wires. Locate and connect the ignition wire. The ignition wire supplies power to the fuel pump and ignition system and will be attached to the ignition switch under the steering wheel.

The vehicle manual or repair guides should tell you which color this wire should be. Connect the ignition output wire on the remote starter to this wire.

Attach the multimeter to the wire while it is connected to a good ground wire and it should show no voltage. Turn the key to the first position and the voltage should still read zero. In the second position, before starting the car, there should be a voltage displayed on your multimeter. If there is, then you have identified the correct wire, if not then you must try again to locate your ignition wire.

Some vehicles have more than one ignition wire. If so, use a relay to connect all additional ignition wires. Find and attach the starter wire. This will only show a voltage while the vehicle is being cranked, or turned on. It supplies power to the starter solenoid when turning your vehicle on. Connect the starter wire output on your remote starter to this wire by soldering the wires together. The voltage should be zero when the key is in all positions except while cranking the engine.

If you think you have found the wire, start with the key in position two and then crank the engine. The voltage should read zero while the key is in position two, show 12V while cranking and then go back to zero if you release the key before the engine turns over. Connect the parking light and brake wires. The brake wire is usually found at the switch harness above the brake pedal but can also be found along with the parking light wires in the kick panel on the way to the rear of the vehicle.

Connect these wires to the parking light and brake output wires on the remote starter. The multimeter should read between The brake wires in particular are important to connect because they prevent someone from driving off in your car while it is running from the remote starter.

Locate and connect the tachometer wire to the tachometer output wire on the remote sensor. This is required by the remote starter so that it disengages the starter once the car has started. It can usually be found in the engine distributor or coil pack.

Connect any security, anti-theft and other optional components. Some systems might have additional steps for connecting to the door locks of the vehicle. Others might need a special system for getting around the anti-theft system that exists in your car.

As always consult the manual or manufacturer of your remote sensor to find out which extra features your system has and where you should connect them. You may need an external relay, of which there are many different kinds. However the four most common include positive trigger, negative trigger, reverse polarity and multiplex door lock systems.

Consult your vehicle manual or repair guides to determine which system your vehicle uses. Use a relay to connect additional wires if there is more than one wire for power, accessory or the starter. A relay allows multiple wires to be connected together. There are many different designs, shapes and sizes but they all perform the same basic function. Connect the wires to the relay by wrapping them around the pins. Secure wires with tie wraps or screws to keep them away from moving parts.

This will protect the wires and make the installation look tidy and neat. Connect the battery and test to see that all the functions work. Test your remote start and keyless entry systems as well as your brakes and brake lights to make sure everything has been connected properly and is working. If something fails to work, go back and check all the wires you have connected to see what went wrong.

Make sure you test your vehicle to make sure it will start, run, and drive using your key normally. This will insure the installation did not affect any normal vehicle operations or cause any dash lights to illuminate abnormally. Replace the kick panel and the panel covering the ignition switch. Push the remote sensor and the wiring into the compartment and cover with the panel. Screw or ratchet the panel into place. Make sure not to pinch or screw into any wiring during installation. When my remote starter is on, the park lights do not turn on.

What does that mean? And how do I fix it? Check your parking lights connection - that seems to be the only possible problem unless you have a faulty system. Not Helpful 6 Helpful Will the installation of the remote starter void the manufacturer's warranty if not installed by the dealership?

Yes, most manuals state that this system is required to be installed by a professional. Not Helpful 9 Helpful 8. Is it necessary to connect a remote starter to any other components of my car?

No, you don't need to connect the remote starter to any other components after following the instructions here. Not Helpful 3 Helpful 2. After installing the remote starter, my car seems to be struggling to have enough power to run the engine and electronics, but if I use the normal start this does not happen.

What should I do? The system may be either drawing too much power, or, when you use the remote start, the engine may start, but not generate enough power. Get it checked out from a certified dealer.

Contributing author: Celeste Tholen. Once GRAY the wire is identified now onto some real installing! Having an existing viper alarm system makes installation so much easier. The wires are already there to be tapped into and nicely identified. Disconnecting the battery is important here to avoid blowing fuses. I used the same H1 12pin jst connector. I removed the pins I have no use for with the avital module.

Luckily dei makes both avital and viper so the connections are pretty universal. The wiring highlighted in yellow are what I used for my installation. I cable tied the avital l module inside the dash. This is taken from the brake pedal switch that send 12volt to the lights. Testing is simple by depressing the pedal to get 12volt.

The other side of the switch will have constant 12volt. The brown wire is tapped into the switched 12volt. The leds produce a backfeed that actually disables the remote starter! I learned this the hard way. This wire is located on pin 1 of connector c on the ecm module of the car.

In park the wire at this pin goes to 12Volt. Due to the horrendously stupid wiring Hyundai uses in this vehicle, the neutral safety feature cannot be installed at this time. I will need to put a delay ON timer relay to temporarily 0volt the neutral safety wire to allow remote starting then a relay powered from the park gear position will keep it at 0V.

Every sane car manufacturer uses 0volt to identify a gear at the ecm. Retard inbred Hyundai engineers uses 12volt only when the key is at the ON position. Luckily my wife has not yet gone the way of her mother by turning off her car in gear complete with keys and door wide open. Easy for car thieves stalking her. After cleaning the windscreen, I stuck the antenna behind the rear view mirror.

I routed the wiring down the driver side pillar. Since I had already identified the necessary heavy Gauge wires, I solder connected the wires shown in the wiring diagram. My watt soldering iron came in handy for this step. I disconnected the battery here to avoid any faults. Mind you, this step is the hardest since it involves tight spaces under the dash.

The battery has to be disconnected for this step. I had to cut the starter wire now. The avital purple ties to the other end of the GRAY wire running to the engine starter. This wire is at the top of the connector. The last pic shows a convenient wiring diagram I did to identify all the heavy gauge wires for the remote start module.

Once I put electrical tape and plugged back in the connector and reconnected the car battery. It is very important to manually start the car and ensure all circuits to the oem wiring is working properly! I left a spare programming cable plugged into the avital l module.

This will make it easy to tweak at future dates without having to take down the dash.
