DIY Keyless Entry

[CaptainYaris]

Wonderful walkthrough. Took it step-by-step on my 4 door and it worked perfectly. got the same system from Circuit City on sale. Not a bad upgrade for $50

Hopefully nothings goes wrong with. Circuit City filed for bankruptcy today and are shutting down a lot of their stores. My local store is suppose to be shutting down by Jan 1.

Looks like i need to go back and tap into the green wire. another problem i was having is that when i turn on the car, all the doors go through the "unlock" cycle. hopefully this issue will be remedied by this as well.

The unlock on start issue is probably a "programming option" for the keyless entry.

I've looked through the programming guide and i think i'd have to disable the "lock on start" to disable the quick unlock on start. Its really not that big of a deal.

But the switch to the Green wire worked wonderfully, although i have to say the Valet system is a little slow to respond between the first press and the 2nd press, you have to wait for the parking lights to stop flashing before you press the button a 2nd time.

Does the valet have a mode for double pulse of the unlock wire? My UltraStart did and it makes life a lot easier than having to press the remote twice.

I'm not sure if it has a double pulse mechanism. that was actually the issue i was trying to avoid. i like being able to just unlock the driver side door.

I would like to thank Dan for creating this great DIY, installed 712t yesterday on my 2009 with no problems. Only difference to note is D3 connector on my car has more than just a black wire, there are actually 3 other wires on this connector. Also had to completely un-bundle the wires going to the 20 pin connector because there are 2 brown wires, very easy to get confused on which one is the LOCK one. I would like to send a thanks to Scott for his help via PM's as well.
