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.
