audiofanaticz Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Is there some sort of worksheet or labor sheet I can get along with a wiring diagram. Am sure that's what they use at the shop no? Im a visual learner i have to read things about 40 times over to understand fully. But when someone shows me i get it on spot No, nothing to show. The installer prints out the vehicle wiring info, and then uses the installer manual that they have for the alarm. Its then finding which wire is which with a test light or digital multimeter if theres more then 1 color wiring in the vehicle (which there is), once they know which black wire is the tach wire, they look on the install guide for the tachometer and notice its a violet/white wire, and connect the 2 together.

t-money Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 ok open the door. turn the key on and then off again. hold the button down on the antanna. you will hear one chirp, two chirps, and three chirps. then let off the button and then press it 3 times then hold. (push, let off, push let off, push let off, push and hold.) it will chirp 3 times. while holding the button push lock on your remote till it chirps 3 times then let off everything and turn the ignition on and your done Quote 2002 ford focus hatch pioneer DEH-P8400bh infinity kappa 6.5 components front and rear XS Power D1200 Shuriken BT-100 audioque 120.4 2 15 inch audioque HDC3 D2 2 audioque 2200d big 3 mechman 220a alt with external regulator 479-418-3056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVAlonSo Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) it either needs a longer crank time changed from voltage sense to actual tach or its a vehicle issue. if its not every time Id tend to lean to the vehicle being the issue and not he alarm. my old cavalier would do it every once in awhile. This. don't change programming yourself. you had it installed professionally and have a lifetime warranty. have them check for you whether tach is hooked up and not voltage sense or virtual tach. make them honor it. If tach is hooked up the threshold needs to be changed. Know that it is the holidays now and it is the busiest time of the year for them. call ahead and schedule an appointment and make sure the most knowledgeable installer at the shop can look at it for you. its really not a common problem, especially with DEI products, for vehicles to not start like that. i always run tach in all of my installs and its rare that a vehicle doesn't start consistently. when tach is learned the brain knows when the engine has started. if it doesn't start up the unit would hold the starter a little longer depending on the tach threshold as well. What t-money is explaining to you is to change the unit to read tach. the only problem with that is it wont work the first time because tach would have to be learned. if you do what he says it wont remote start anymore, though it is what needs to be done (after tach is connected). your best option for now would be to change it to virtual tach or voltage sense (whichever it is not on) and test. before you do all this though, take it to the installers.

Not that i doubt u but knowledge would be great it changes the crank time to a 1 second crank instead of the 0.6 sec crank time that is default. a bit writer is the easy way but if u are not an installer chances are you dont have one so this is the old school way. i have the exact same alarm too.

VIPmeetSPL Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Awesome I will try it ...quick question after pressing lock on remote and let off everything do I unlock or straight go for the ignition with the car "locked"?
