Wiring a Remote Start...URGENT!!!
I have mostly everything wired up except for the RPM wire and the arm/disarm wire. I'm having problems locating what wires to tap into for the arm/disarm. Would you guys have any idea how I can do this?
And for this to work I have to keep the valet key in the car...right?
thanks!

I have always wondered about remote starters and engine imobilizer equiped vehicles such as RX.
The wire under question then should be from the engine-imobilzer.

i think I have everything hooked up. I hooked up the 2 wires I was talking about to the lock/unlock wires on the drivers side door ECU.
However, the car will still not start w/ the remote.
what am I doing wrong?

I was informed by some people that all I had to do was put the key next to the ignition or in the ignition and then press the button on the remote start FOB.
Is this not how it is w/ the Lexus? Should I hook up the bypass first then see what the deal is?

hmm...that's where I'm at right now. Everything is hooked up and ready to go but all it does is beep once and flash the parking lights.

One way of explaining the engine imobilizer is by thinking of the emergency key that came with your RX, the thin credit card type one with the thin key snapped in the middle of it. If you just use that key and attempt to start the car, the engine will just turn over without starting. The engine imobilizer is working. To get the car to start you have to place the credit card looking key frame next to the ignition. This has the same effect as placing a regular key next to the ignition with the remote start.

I am not sure thats true. I have a remote start in my Acura. I have the box with a key in it. I dont think u can simply put the key next to the ignition and get it to work. I think this is because you are not using the key ignition to start the car when u use the remote start. The car specific bypass module or the module that uses the key (Which ever you choose to use) tells the car that a key is present. I bet if u put the key in the ignition and hit the remote start, the car starts. If this happens u definitely need a bypass module.
