Yes, that info may help. If it’s just a passive antenna does that = there’s no reason I can’t just directly power it via relay? (that’s the core of the issue ... I’m not trying to “hack the immobilizer”; instead I am trying to enable/power the factory transponder antenna ON to look for a pill on remote start).

Is the passive antenna powered with constant 12V positive? And would it matter which side (which of the two wires) was powered (via relay)?
