Well I got part way through my install of a Remote starter I bought... and jsut have a few questions as too where some wires are supposed to go..
The instructions are a Piece oh crap....
Here is a list of wires and what they say beside them...
(-)Ground when running
(+)ext. Trigger Input
(-)dis arm
(-)re arm
(-starter Kill Output
On my little Schematic here it shows a relay but one did not come with the kit so I am thinking maybe it is a option.....?
The starter kill wire is supposed to goto it
any help here would be GREAT!

Blazeee:
if you're not sure what those wires are for you should not be trying this without learning how to do it first... there is a reason why shops charge the price they charge... knowledge costs money... without knowledge you could end up frying parts of your cars computer and that could cost you even more... now is that worth the $100-150 buck you MIGHT save?

well, I have installed a couple remote starters in the past and this time I tried a different brand and well the instructions are not the best that came with it....... they do obviously sell these over the shelf so your average person can install.... you dont have to go pay 100-150$ for the install... and yes you could fry parts.... but thats why you ask questions before and get the right answer and not just hack everything up.... Gotta Learn somehow right?

Not only might you fry some parts.....You could kill yourself, and maybe take out some one's child/parent/friend, in the process.
Remote starters are NOT a do-it-yourself job, and can be way more dangerous than a back-yard brake job.
Imagine pulling out into high speed traffic, and your engine quits,....or worse passing someone on the highway, with an 18 wheeler commin at ya.
You'll lose your power steering, power brakes, ABS brakes, maybe have an airbag not deploy,.
I've seen a six inch lengyh of wire go up in smoke, and you couldn't see 3 ft in a 3200 square foot shop. Imagine what that would do in a small car travelling at 120KPH.
There's just too much to learn for the amateur to be safe, to risk it. Even Class "A" mechanics are not trained for the hazards of a remote starter.
I'd consider you qualified after you've installed a thousand starters. Then I might ease up on the supervision. A "few" just makes you dangerous.
If you want to learn, get a job in a shop. The pay sucks, but the fringe benefits are great.
Remote starts, are a way of life now.....but there are too many bad jobs sharing my roads, for my piece of mind!
Let a pro do it, or maybe they'll know it's you (or your customers) by your dental records.

Shops won't hire without experience, and you can't/shouldn't get experience on your own without working in a shop.
So how the heck does one get started? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Speak of the devil... Just did an '01 Kia Sportage today at work with the knee airbag system. Must've done at least 5 of those by now; still leaves me white in the face every time I remove that airbag assembly (and re-connect it). Something about a 1/4" aluminum plate coming at my face at half the speed of sound is just plain unnerving. Trust me, better an installer's head than yours. We get worker's comp!
