The hood pins ground when the hood is open, so you leave them floating (i.e. not connected) to bypass.

Alright well that eliminates that.

I'm going to verify my ground point ... that's the only other thing I can think of.

Unplug the power connector from the remote starter and measure the voltage between the ground pin and the constant power pins. That will verify exactly what the unit is getting.

OK ground is fine. I was able to get the shutdown code and it says "Transmitter shutdown (or push button)" (the LED on the unit flashes 4 times).

Car isn't even attempting to crank at all and remote errors out. I really wish these car starters had an LCD display, lol

So that means that it thinks that you are either hitting the button on the remote a second time to kill it, or the valet mode is activated. Go through the procedure to turn valet mode off.

Is it better to solder or tap into the wires?

Does either void the warranty?

Thanks!

Nothing voids the warranty unless what you do leads to failure of it or something else.

Soldering typically is better, but wire taps work fine and can be a bit safer to work with under the dash. I have used wire taps on the last 4 of my cars that I installed remote starters on and have driven 100K+ without an single issue.

Next question. I am adding electric windows to my bone stock yaris. I am using a Prestige APS787C and it says it can roll windows up and down.

On this site: http://voxrightnow.custhelp.com/app/...e-start-system It says I can use channel 4 and 5 to do this, my question is, can I just hook the wires for channel 4 and 5 to the power and ground of the window, or do I need to hook up relays?

If I have to hook up relays, how will I wire them?

Here is my install manual as well! http://www.clubgpstore.com/art/aps787_IM.pdf

Thanks a million!!

do i use this relay:http://www.automotiverewire.com/Nava...ayswindows.htm

For the remote window closure you need an auto window closer device, like the DEI 530T. The aux output of the remote starter would become an input to the 530T to tell it to crank up the windows (or with another output, down as well for airing it out in the hot weather).

Yes. The 529T just gives you one direction, whereas the 530T gives you both.

Yes, although the relays will stay energized as long as the output channel is on, whereas the 529T or 530T has some intelligence to turn its relays off. The problem with leaving them energized is that if you trigger the output channel after turning the car off, and then leave the car parked for a day or so, you may come back to a dead battery.

Sorry to be "that guy" but I seem to be struggling with something I feel isn't very complicated but don't want to mess it up. Here's mine but I can't find from the DIY I can't seem to find anything that looks remotely similar with the two black and two pick wires. Oh yeah, 2008 HB Yaris. Thanks

You are about a foot to the left of where that connector in my picture is. It is the ignition switch connector, which is located at the base of the ignition switch, on the right side of the steering column.
