Yes Sir. On Renntech a guy had the same problem and he said he took in into the dealer and they had to recode the ECU an it worked after. I am obviously trying to avoid that if possible.

Here is that thread.

You cut it away from the immobilizer and wired it direct to the aftermarket unit directly?

Well I used a relay as the first aftermarket unit could not take the load (it fried) and I did not want the immobilizer to be in harms way. second one I used a relay and no issues. Some of the units like particlewave bought have a relay inside and can take a load, I just did not want to chance it.

I just ordered the one you bought. Can you give me any help on what relay to buy and how to wire it? I have ever installed relays in all the things I ever have done with cars.

Thanks bud.

Not a problem. Pretty much standard relay. That can be bought. I just happen to have one. But will find one online so you can see

Like this one





alarm relay | eBay

But just look up alarm relay and look for one that looks like that, get one with a pig tail so you don't have to source a bunch of wires and connectors.

I actually have an identical relay to his one you posted. So let me break this down because these diagrams make my eyes cross lol.


Cut the blue black wire from the immobilizer.

Connect AM trunk wire to the blue black wire and connect to pin 85

Connect 86 pin with a tap to the red wire

Connect pin 87 to the blue and wire

Ground pin 30

Did I get that schematic correct?

I really do appreciate it the help. I can and have done almost every other thing about working on a car and never have wired a relay lol.

Cut the blue black wire from the immobilizer. leave immobilizer end disconnected, connect the other end to door lock signal wire from keyless entry



In the trunk....

Connect the unconnected blue black trunk wire to 85

Connect the unconnected blue black trunk wire from actuator to 87

Connect 86 pin with a tap to the red wire

Ground pin 30

Connect the red wire.

NEVER!!!

Nothing left to fix on mine, but I'm always looking for things to tweak or improve.

This keyless entry was one of my favorite mods due to ease and usefulness. My "hand activated" storage shelf lights are a close second. Of course, I'm quite fond of the headlights and side markers, as well.

Just...can't...stop!

Prefer the hand activated cubby light mod Have to say that keyless mod is pretty cool too. Changing dash & accessories lights colors etc... but the best of all, the de-ambering the egglights. Now that my man (speechless)

Sure I forget a few others. Kewl mods, never stop.... keep then coming Charles

Regards

Question for you guys. When you connect the new unit to to lock wires, do you leave it still connected to the immobilizer, or disconnect it? I'm considering doing this on my 02.
