It's interesting and encouraging to see that a lot of the wires aren't used. It actually does make me feel like maybe I can do this. However, I feel like what's missing from this video is a brief discussion on why the other wires aren't needed. Simply saying "A lot of these wires go away" is a good start, but why do they go away? In other words, how do I determine which wires are going to be needed on my install? I'm not installing my starter into the exact same car you have, so I'd like to get an idea of how different my install will be from yours. Interesting video nonetheless, thanks for posting it.
I appreciate your feedback. Would you like information on how to determine what wires you will need and not need on you particular vehicle? I'd be happy to help.
I’m wanting to do a remote start and alarm on a older truck but can’t find out if I need a bypass module 1993 Chevy s10 blazer it’s non power . I found a wire diagram. Just need to know if I’ll need that second piece you wired up as well with the remote start kit
Your truck would require a bypass. If you just want to by the bypass to go with the Avital you could use the flashlogic FLCAN or FLTB1. I suggest looking at the Prestige APS997Z, this is a two way remote start alarm that is made to have the bypass installed directly into it. The benefit to that is having only one unit to install rather than two. I have installed The Prestige brand and I find it to be just as good as the Avital. www.amazon.com/dp/B07JJCNQRV/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_X8R513BMZBRG28QKSXXF?linkCode=ml2&tag=dcautoenhan06-20
Thanks for all your videos! I'm halfway through an install on my 08 Hyundai Tucson, and I have a few questions: 1. Do I need to wire all 6 heavy gauge wires to the ignition? It looks like there are two, constant 12V wires. Can I just cut one of them? 2. I'm using FLCAN bypass and the wiring diagram shows only two wires, one to the ignition and one data wire to the Passenger Kick Panel. Which wires will I need from the 4105L Remote Start? I've already cut the majority of the wires from the primary harness, as you've done in this video.
So did the bypass pick up all the other wires that would have to be tagged ie tach, break input (to shut down the remote start and key to take over), hood pin (should it have it), truck release from the factory remote ( without using a relay to pop the truck), trunk trigger?
Yes, that is true of most newer vehicles so long as you use a remote start that is compatible and use the Data to Data (D2D) wiring. Some of the new remote starters have a slot for a cartridge style bypass that makes it easier to install. I have not installed that style yet.
@@DCAutoEnhancement okay. I am installing a Avital 5303L and a DEI DB3 into his 2004 Honda Accord Lx. I was thinking that I will run the unneeded wires to the location of the factory wires that I might have to connect to just incase the DB3 doesn't pick them up. This way they are long enough and ready to terminate. I use to be a MECP alarm specialist but that was 21 years ago.....LOL
@@DCAutoEnhancement I have found the install manual online for the avital 5305l. Also the person I purchased it from did sell me the entire system ( avital 5305l and the DB3 and programmed it for the 2004 Honda Accord. I am putting together a list of material ie connectors, a couple relays and wire so I can perform the install next weekend. These models (DB3) are suppose to make the job a lot easier. I use to have to run wires and terminate all of them from the remote starts. In the event it isn't I will still have the remote start wires in their location to terminate the old way. I use to call DEI when I would install alarms on brand new vehicle and call and give them the colors, locations, if I had to use relays or diodes.
hello good morning I have to mount an avital on a 2005 Dodge RAM 1500 you can tell me which wires you keep and which cuts please so I have the essential wiring ready and I am looking for only the wires to be wired I already have the bypass programmed for the vehicle together. thanks if you can you would make me a great beacon and congratulations for the video
From the remote start these are the wires you will need to keep: 12v constant (2) Ignition 2nd Ignition Accessory Parking Light Brake input Ground Emergency brake input (black/white it can be grounded with the black ground wire) The rest of the wiring will be from the FLCAN. Let me know if you want me to do the same for that.
I purchased this unit (4115L) but to my surprise no specific details to install on my 2003 Ram 1500. I expected a link of some sort which I had had received from a different manufacturer from a simpler era ... 2002ish. At any rate where can I find out if I need the bypass for my truck and also where might I find any specific install instructions. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
If you have a gray key then you need a bypass module. If you have a black key, you don't unless your key has the lock and unlock built into the key, the you need the bypass. Comandocaralarms.com
There is a relatively inexpensive bypass but you have to have a second key that you put in a box and put a ring around the ignition. If you want a link, I can send you one.
You can, you have to simulate the clutch being pushed in. Sometimes it is as easy as grabbing the starter wire after the clutch switch and sometimes it involves wiring relays. I would think you could find that information on a Subaru forum. I can't help much on this one. I have only installed remote starts on one or two manual cars and it was a long time ago.
@@xavi-12 you can pick any remote start but the bypass is different, it has to be compatible with your vehicle. I am still looking for one that you don't have to buy a programmer for. The cheapest option would require you to have an extra key placed inside of a box mounted under your dash.
I have a 98 99 gmc Yukon. I have a few questions I hope you could answer. It has a factor keyless entry, do I need to un install it to add the avital 4105L? Also I have the passlock 2 security, it doesn't have a chipped key. Do I still need an interface module?
I know this might be a little late but, no you don't have to un install the factory keyless entry and yes you would need a bypass module to add the remote start to your vehicle. Thank you for watching!
Hi DC, thanks for the videos! I’m installing a Avital 4105L on my Subaru Forester 2007, How do I know which wires to hook up? So far I’ve got the chassis ground, the light flash output on the primary connection. I have the parking brake input on the remote start harness. Then I have the accessory, starter, ignition and 12 volt on the heavy gauge. The two red 12 volt wires I’m going to put together and solder to the 12 volt on the Subaru. Also would the light flash output on the primary go to the parking lights on the Subaru?
@@alextamburri6802 wires from the remote start that need connected to the car Main harness: 12v, IGN,acc,starter Parking light Brake input E Brake can be grounded unless you use your emergency brake when you park. Lock and unlock if you want keyless entry Tach is optional but preferred For the FLCAN follow the instructions regarding those wires I hope this is helpful
Required, no. Recommended, yes. The tach method is the most reliable. If you decide to hook up the tach wire, the easiest away to get it without using a multimeter is to go to a fuel injector, each one should have two wires, there is a common color on each of them and one that is different. You would want to get your tach signal from the different colored one. Thanks for the comment and feedback and thanks for watching.
This is very helpful understanding the tach wire can be taken from an injector wire. In my case the command start need to sense the engine running in order to stop the starter from constantly turning over.
Here are the parts that you can use. And below check out the link to Flashlogic website. And I'll leave a link to your car wiring information also. Avital 4105L bit.ly/36nkmdB amzn.to/3nZrg1x Flashlogic FLCAN bit.ly/39AvzcI amzn.to/3nWC5RO Flashlogic Programmer bit.ly/37AmVt2 amzn.to/3n1Mn1D Flashlogic.com www.bulldogsecurity.com/bdnew/vehiclewiringdiagrams.aspx
Go to flashlogic.com and put your vehicle information in and if the option is there for the manual model, then yes. I personal don't install remote starts on manuals.
I am trying to hook this to a semi truck. So I am trying to understand the bare minimum needed to make a remote starter work without any bells or whistles. No key computer chips. Just a basic ignition. Truck won't start unless brake is on and the truck is in neutral. It is an automatic and when the brake is engaged it automatically puts the truck in neutral. So really what are the minimum number of wires needed for a remote start.
Where are you located? The brake pedal poses a bit of trouble but can be bypassed. Usually you will only need 4 main ignition wires (12v, ignition, accessory, and start) (Ground and black/white small wire on remote start)
@@DCAutoEnhancement oh okay. Just wanted to make sure cause turns out to be that a 2013 Kia soul doesn't have a key immobilizer. Really appreciate your help. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks again
@@DCAutoEnhancement I wired in all the heavy gauge wires as well as the parking light, door lock hardness, brake shut down input, horn output, and I think about 2 ground wires. I ran out of time last night but I think I just have to find the tachometer wire. Is the tachometer wire necessory also did I miss any other wires? I appreciate you checking in. Thanks again for all your help. I would've never tired doing this install until I seen all your videos explaining wires breakdown.
@@colebryant6850 I'm not sure if you have this info yet but here are two links to vehicle wiring for your truck: www.bulldogsecurity.com/bdnew/vehiclewiringdiagrams.aspx www.commandocaralarms.com/wiring/1992-1994/chevrolet/full-sizepick-up/462.html
No, unfortunately you would meet to.change the 4105 out for the two way system. But they usually use the same connections so it would most likely be a matter of unplugging the old one and plugging in the new one. But then again if the connectors are not the same, the wire colors are for sure the same. Worse case scenario you cut the wires and connect the new ones to the old ones. I hope that was helpful.
So, with any immobilizer, do you have to connect the wires from the immobilizer to the actual remote start system itself? I'm awfully confused about that part.
So a vehicle that is equipped with an immobilizer has to be manipulated into thinking that the key is in the ignition. So the bypass is doing that manipulation. Some cars can be manipulated through a single wire at the OBDll port or multiple wires at the immobilizer itself. If you tell me what vehicle your working on I can try to clear that up for you.
The item that you are referring to is a hood pin switch. A lot of the newer cars will actually transmit the hood status through data using a bypass. The bypass that I use almost everytime is the Flashlogic FLCAN.
@@RajendraSingh-qg3cx I actually have a video coming up that I will do a start to finish. I have been making the videos shorter for the sake of time but felt that it might be appreciated if I make a more detailed video. I'll probably be posting the video that I'm talking about Jan 7th. Is there anything in particular that you would like to see?
DC Auto Enhancement I have a 2008 Kia Sedona do you have any advice for me if I need to use the hood pin And what wired to illuminate from the remote starter please and thanks in advance
@@RajendraSingh-qg3cx the hood pin switch is a safety device that will prevent the remote start from starting the car while the hood is open however, it is not required for operation. I'll look up info on that vehicle and add a link to this reply for you to view. The only advice I have is to make sure you have everything you need before starting the installation, test your wires before making the connections when and where possible, and take your time. I took a look at the FLCAN, if you use that bypass you won't need to direct wire the door lock wires. Take a moment to review this and read note #3 www.commandocaralarms.com/wiring/2008-2011/kia/sedona/1206.html
Do they make 100% plug and play remote start systems for every vehicle? If they do, I would agree but I have checked them out and they have a limited selection of vehicles that are 100% plug and play.
This is just my opinion. And no offense! But I clicked on your video because you look just like Curly Howard of the three stooges! And I really thought this video was using his image. LOL!
