The IG2 should be connected to the "5th relay output" and the jumper needs to be in the 2nd ignition output position.

ok so i did have everything connected correctly as i check it over 100 times lol , and i have found and fixed my problem, after finding all my wires connected properly and speaking to scott too assure i had them connected propery, thanks a milllion scott really appricate it, i decided to open up the prostart control unit and make sure nothing seemed out of place , what i found was that two of my pins for my bypass in the prostart unit where not even soldered to the circuit board. i exchanged the unit at my local store, plugged in the new one, programmed it and the remote start worked like a charm. jus thought i would post this incase some else has a similar problem, sometimes you may be doing it right but the brand new part is faulty. thanks again scott

Wow! That was a good (bad) find. It is amazing how poor quality control is on so many products these days.

Ultrastart 1280 for Manual Transmission

Hey CTScott,

I just got an Ultrastart 1280 and can't wait to install it this weekend.

The manual:
http://www.ultrastarters.com/Feature...L-REV-2008.pdf

Did you have to cut any wires in terms of connecting to the starter and ignition wires of the car?

I have a 2010 Liftback with no power or keyless entry.


Thanks to this forum i was able to complete my cruise control addition which has been amazing seeing that I drive 100 miles roundtrip to work everyday.

So back to the autostart, I got some wiretaps for the rest of the connections that are needed but I am a little unsure about the starter part and the clutch bypass.

This will be the third alarm I install and the other two were alot easier (no autostart).

Let me know how you got yours hooked up so that when I actually start the job it won't turn into a whole day event.

Thanks

I didn't cut any on mine - All connections were just taps. But, if you are going to hook-up the anti-grind, then that is the one place where you have to cut and insert the remote starter connections in between. I typically don't bother hooking up the anti-grind on my own cars.

For the clutch bypass, you will wire it as a "type 3" where the normally open relay contacts will be connected to the yellow and black wires on the clutch switch connector (so those are taps, rather than cuts).

Thanks for the quick response.

So is this how the relay should be hooked up?



If so, what would you use as you 12 volt pulse to activate the relay?

The Starter output?

PIN-1 YELLOW Starter Output-This wire will test 0V when the key is off, in the Accessory position and when
the Ignition is in the on position. The starter wire is 12volts during the start/ crank position only.

Correct - The starter output wire should feed the relay coil.

Installation Troubles

CTScott,

Got so troubles here with the install.



I'm just doing a quick test to see if I could get the system to start.

I have the:
Yellow(Output to starter circuit) to Black(Yaris - Starter)
Green(Output to ACC circuit) to White(Yaris - ACC)
Red
Red
*Both Red wires tapped together then into the 12v fuse location.
White(2nd IGN) to Pink(Yaris - IGN#2)
Blue(IGN circuit) to Green(Yaris - IGN#1)

For now I am just pressing the clutch switch with my hand, will bypass it later.

Only thing I can think of is if my wiretaps didn't make solid connections. I did undo and redo some to verify there where connecting.

Currently I am simulating the system:
I have the system ground connected to ground.

On the 13 wire connection, I only need the Brake switch, park brake, and door input for now.

I also attempted the reservation mode to no avail.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION INSTALL MANUAL SYSTEM PROGRAMMING - Menu 1
RESERVATION MODE
Manual transmission remote starters must be set into Reservation Mode before the remote starter will activate. The activation type of Reservation Mode is determined when the system is installed.
Auto Reservation Mode (Default) 1- While the vehicle is running, place into neutral and apply the park brake.
2*- Press and release the brake pedal twice. The park lights will flash twice, the SIREN or HORN (opt.) will chirp twice and the doors will unlock (opt.). 3-Turn the ignition key off and the vehicle will continue running. 4**- Within 30 seconds, exit the vehicle and close all the doors. The vehicle will then shut off .
Manual Reservation Mode (Optional) 1- While the vehicle is running with the key, place transmission into neutral
and apply the park brake. 2- Press and release the START button. The park lights will flash twice, the SIREN or HORN (opt.) will chirp twice and the doors will unlock (opt.). 3- Turn the ignition key off and the vehicle will continue running. 4- Exit the vehicle and close all the doors. 5**- Press and hold the START button for 3 seconds, the vehicle will then shut off.
* If the park lights do not flash and stay on or the SIREN (HORN optional) chirps a third time, repeat Step 2. ** If the vehicle has dome light delay, the vehicle may stay running until the dome light turns off. This is normally no longer than 30 seconds.
**TEST RESERVATION MODE**
1) Press the start button on the remote without setting the Reservation Mode. The park lights should flash 4 times without starting the vehicle. If the vehicle starts THE WRONG REMOTE STARTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED!!!
2) Set the Reservation Mode then remote start the vehicle. Shut off with the remote wait 10 seconds then open the passenger door. Press Start on the remote and Reservation Mode should be cancelled. (4 flashes) if not, check for proper door pin connections.
*****FOR SAFETY REASONS ALL DOOR PINS INCLUDING THE REAR HATCH MUST BE CONNECTED.******

Any ideas?

Well I just spend 2 hours outside verifying some connections.

I am grounding the park brake connection for now and connecting the negative door input (when opened) to 12 volts to simulate doors closed.

Hood pin switch is not connect to anything and it's reading positive voltage so that is good.

For now i'm just pushing the clutch with my foot.

When i push the start button the park lights just flash 4 times. I tried to enter reservation mode but nothing happened after i pushed the brake pedal twice.

I checked the brake connection and it does read 12 volts into the unit so that connection is good.

All wires are still connected to the starter, acc, & ign as listed above.

4 flashes means that it is not in reservation mode. Are you doing the procedure on page 29 to arm the starting?

Yes, I tried Auto reservation and when i pressed the brake pedal the lights did not flash.

I repeated again and got nothing.

Maybe it needs to see the transition from e-brake off to e-brake on before pressing the brake pedal?

Just tried that too, meaning disconnect from ground then reconnect. Still no luck.

Since it needs to see it running, have you done the tach learning?
