Push button starts, but doesn't stop engine - Toyota Yaris Forums

08 Yaris HB

So I bought an remote start kit which came with a push button start. I have everything pretty much working except the push start button. I'm suppose to leave my key in the ON position of the car, however when I push the button to stop, the engine remains on but some of the electronics are off until I move the key to off. But if I move the key to off first, some of the electric components remain on until I push the button.

Did I wire something wrong? Theoretically I should be able to leave a cut key on the ON position and just use the button. remote start also doesn't work unless there's a key in the on position as well.

Support guy says I should remove the ignition cylinder but I tried to follow an old guide but I tried to push the button for the cylinder but couldn't get it out for the life of me.

Sounds like the kit has some design issues.

Dont you have to hold the button for 3 seconds or something?

Darn, I was hoping I just missed something while wiring because I didn't want to remove the system to return it. side note, how do I go about removing the ignition cylinder?

key->acc, push the pin, pull out 1/4". I know i'm suppose to remove the "key sense" but not sure if its the top right or bottom left.
