How to install a car remote start (roughly) PART 3

This Video and the following 2 parts are just a rough overview about how to install a remote starter kit in your car.
The car I am installing this in is my 3.8L fully loaded Dodge Grand Caravan.
YES I DRIVE A MINIVAN and I dont have kids, so what? xD
Anyway I want to show how complex this job is and that it sure aint easy.
If you have knowledge as technician or electrician you will be fine, if you are COMPLETLY new to this kinda stuff, I recommend to see a dealership or a outfitter to get your remote start installed.
Installing these kind of systems wrong into your car, could cause the electronics to fail. I have never done this before and received no help, so understand this is not to show you how YOU HAVE TO do it, I simply want to show you what needs doing, if you decide to install a cheapy kit.
Messing with the security controller (transponder module) could prevent you from driving back home, if damaged during install.
As an advice, when you program the transponder module to override the factory anti theft and you fail, DO NOT REPROGRAM right away or try to start the car by remote.
Instead, insert the key and start the car until the Anti theft module is reset (let it run for 20 seconds).
It WILL lock you out, if you attempt to start the car more than 4 times without having the right "disarm chip".
Once the original key is inserted and the car ran, the module will be set to zero counts of fail starts and you will be fine.
As for the complainers and haters. Sure there are pro installers that do a MUCH MUCH better job than I am doing here, but I bet you a million dollars, you had to learn your way also, so keep your criticism on a low and understand this was MY FIRST TIME! A so called, remote start kit virgin. Thanks :)

And so all the starter module will look for, is ANY value that is zero (0) at one point and changes into the hertz range selected in the module. The instructions of your remote starter HAVE TO tell you what range you are looking for. Most kits you can select the range, although they are predefined. Hope this helps!

@lawnside82 There are probably more than 3 ways to get a speed signal of a car. One is indeed the crankshaft position sensor (which that wire was NOT), the ignition coil, and a direct speed sensor on crank or camshaft or both. Most engines have 3 sensors already. Depending on the model, you have to choose the wire. What you want to look for is Hertz (Hz) and the range the module looks for. Engine off means no reading, engine running gets u a alternating frequency.

that wire you was back probing, was that the crankshaft position sensor? i always wondered how did the remote start know when the car was running and when to stop spinning the starter

@pumpitdown0x Yeah, you have to wire a few more things into the module. I was going to do that at a later time and did not bother just yet. Once you have the bypass module installed, everything should go rather smooth from there. I got a little confused with the arm-rearm wires and anti theft. Something did not makes sense at the time...
