Hey guys,
Monkiboy, hows it goin?
Had my Advanced Keys entry and push start / remote start system along with EVO ALL for over a year now and finally made my attempt to install it. I didn't make one wire cut (cause I don't believe in doing that!).
For the Ignition switch, I used a Turbo Timer harness but I also noticed that the TT harness combined the IG1 and IG2 signals as well as the ST1 and ST2 signals so I properly separated them. To pull out the ignition keyring light ring, you have to carefully pry the tabs holding it in to remove it.
I had a lot of trouble with the immobilizer bypass and wrapping the wires, etc did not work reliably. I cut open my key and pulled the chip out and wrapped it. It would work on and off. I tested it by turning the Ignition to ON to see if the red security light would light up. If it did, I knew it wasn't working and if the light was off, it worked. Realized that the physical position and angle of the chip mattered. Maybe I was doing something wrong...
Only things left are to wire up the Clutch bypass and Neutral Safety switch. With a relay and access to the clutch pedal switch, the bypass should not be too bad.
Need some help on the neutral safety switch if anyone has done it already. The switch seems to be a simply open and closed contact switch but to access that, you need to be in the engine bay. The wire that comes back to the ECU is not a negative ground which the Advanced keys is expecting, it's actually a 12v when in gear and floats when out of gear. I'll have to verify if there is 12v even when the car is fully off or if the 12v is only available when the car is in the ON position.
There was a descent amount of wiring that needed to be done but I made no cuts to any wires except the harnesses that came with the Advanced keys and EVO ALL. I especially preserved the OEM harness wires and built Y connectors using OEM pins so I could simply pull the pins I needed to tap into, out of the OEM harnesses and plug them into my Y adapters and plugged my Y adapters into the OEM plugs. To restore back to OEM, just remove the Y adapter and plug the original pin back into the OEM plug.
I'll post up some pics when I have a chance.
