- Fri Apr 01, 2011 4:40 am #247545 those should for your starter disable & remote start if i remember correctly. for the key & motor side wires just cut your starter wire & hook up like it says. 1 to key side wire & other to motor side. it prevents car from starting when alarm is triggered. other wire im connects to same starter wire but on motor side. its what starts the car for the remote start. if you are installing it on a manual transmission car you will have to do a clutch switch bypass & id highly recomend a neutral saftey switch which will prevent car from starting with i in gear. i dont recomend putting remote start on a manual transmission car tho.
last guy i did that for's brother remote started his car on accident with it in gear without a saftey switch & the car wound up driving down the street hitting a couple of other cars & an RV.

- Fri Apr 01, 2011 8:37 am #247577 its easy. when you cut the starter wire the part of the wire leading up to the ignition is the key side wire the other part of the starter wire is the motor side. got it?
