I am trying to install an AVIC 5435 and need to know the wire codes. VSS, parking, rear (reverse signal) etc. I also want to install an alarm and need the color code wire chart for that as well. HELP ME!!!!

 

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT
The PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT indicates the type of PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT system that comes factory installed in the vehicle. Most vehicles today are equipped with some sort of system. Example: many GM vehicles are equipped with Passlock or Passkey. Chrysler is equipped with "Sentry Key"and Ford is equipped with "P.A.T.S. "These systems MUST be bypassed when performing a Remote Start installation, or the vehicle will not run under Remote Start.

12 VOLTS
These wires are the POWER SOURCE at the ignition that supplies 12-VOLT power for the key switch. In an alarm or remote start installation, this is where you would normally connect your 12-Volt constant power wires. You should always fuse these connections with the manufacturer’s recommended fuse size. Some vehicles contain more than one 12-Volt source at the ignition switch. In such cases, if your Remote Starter is equipped with 2 (12-Volt) input wires, you should connect one to each wire in order to power the remote starter properly and avoid burning the vehicle’s fuse.

IGNITION
The characteristics of the IGNITION WIRE are: 12-Volts during Accessory, Ignition and Crank. It is mandatory in every Remote Start installation. It should never be used for an ignition disable system that is intended for use as a starter cutoff.

ACCESSORY
The ACCESSORY wire is what you need to connect to in order to power your vehicle’s HEATER and AC during Remote Start. This wire is: 12-Volts during Accessory and ignition. IT IS NOT 12-VOLTS DURING CRANK. THIS WIRE SHOULD ALWAYS BE POWERED BEFORE IGNITION.

STARTER
The STARTER WIRE is 12-Volts during crank only AND MUST BE CONNECTED FOR REMOTE START operation. It is also the wire you would use for STARTER CUT for and alarm or starter disable installation. Some vehicles are equipped with a 2nd START WIRE that serves as an input wire for the temperature sense wire during start.

FUEL INJECTOR
The FUEL INJECTOR wire refers to the signal wire found at any of the injectors on the engine. This wire can be used as a alternate tachometer reference for remote starters. At each injector you will find 2 wires. An ignition wire, which is typically the same color for each injector. And a second wire, which is fed a pulse by the vehicle’s computer. Since this wire is typically a different color at each injector, we list the color of the ignition feed. Use the wire opposite of the ignition feed. This wire provides a 1-cylinder engine speed reference.

LOCK
The LOCK WIRE is what you would normally tap on to in order to lock the vehicle’s doors during a keyless entry installation. Some vehicles also use the lock wire to lock the hatch or trunk. This is common in central locking systems. There are many different configurations for this wire. We list them all, and if there is anything abnormal about this wire, it will be listed in the vehicle’s notes. Some vehicles list the actual motor lock/unlock wires as well as these. The motor lock wires are generally reverse polarity and usually need relays connected. To view the description of those wires, slide your mouse over them

UNLOCK
The UNLOCK WIRE is what you would normally tap on to in order to unlock the vehicle’s doors during a keyless entry installation. Some vehicles also use the unlock wire to unlock the hatch or trunk. This is common in central locking systems. There are many different configurations for this wire. We list them all, and if there is anything abnormal about this wire, it will be listed in the vehicle’s notes. Some vehicles list the actual motor lock/unlock wires as well as these. The motor lock wires are generally reverse polarity and usually need relays connected. To view the description of those wires, slide your mouse over them.

DOORPIN
The DOORPIN WIRE usually has a signal that indicates the status of the vehicles doors. It may also be used as a trigger to turn on the vehicle’s Domelight. Some vehicles use other wires to establish the door status. DOORPIN wires are usually positive or negative depending on the manufacturer and model. Some show negative and others show positive when the door is open. Some vehicles have a different wire for each door.

HOODPIN
The HOODPIN WIRE is usually located in the vehicle’s engine compartment and is generally used as a zone for factory security. It can be either negative or positive depending on the manufacturer and model. Interfacing to this wire from an aftermarket Security System or Remote Start is not recommended as it can relay a false reading depending on the brand of Security System or Remote Starter being used. It is not intended for that purpose, but if you must use it as such, you will almost always require the use of diodes placed in series with the wire you are connecting to.

TRUNK PIN
The TRUNK PIN wire is used to indicate trunk status of the vehicle. It can be either positive or negative depending on the manufacturer and model. You may generally use this wire for an aftermarket Security System, but may in some cases require the use of a diode in series with the Security System’s trunk trigger wire.

TRUNK RELEASE
TRUNK RELEASE refers to a wire that triggers the opening of the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. There are many different configurations for this type of connection including positive trigger, negative trigger, high current negative trigger and reverse polarity. All possible configurations are shown in the trunk release diagram. This wire only appears on vehicle’s that may be equipped with power trunk or hatch release.

FACTORY ARM
The FACTORY ARM wire is used to arm/re-arm built in factory security. It can be any number of configurations and in many cases must be used in conjunction with the DOOR LOCK wire to arm factory security. It’s use is generally documented if requires anything other than simply applying 12-volts or ground.

FACTORY DISARM
The FACTORY DISARM wire is used to disarm built in factory security. It can be any number of configurations and in some cases must be used in conjunction with the DOOR UNLOCK wire to disarm factory security. It’s use is generally documented if requires anything other than simply applying 12-volts or ground.
