Im about ready to rip my hair out with my alarm.:rant: got everything fitted and working all except the remote start. It was a cheapo ebay remote start jobbie, which i've fitted loads for myself and friends etc in the past. It's not one of the older ones where you have to wrap a wire round an ht lead so it detects if the car is running. this one works of the oil pressure warning light.... no problem.... except the z doesn't have one!! :confused:The instructions were a little bit dodgy (crap translation from chinese to english i assume!), but everything is wired up as specified... apart from the oil light detector. it says to wire it up to the oil warning light(+). so by this, am i correct in assuming it needs connecting to a live feed when car is not running/cranking, but needs to be an earthed feed (negative) when the engine is running? does the Z have anything like this that i could tap into? really need to get this all sorted as my (bodged) repair job on my door lock has broken again, so i have to unlock the car from the passenger side to get in.:rolleyes:

be VERY VERY careful where you connect this wire, otherwise it will hold the starter in and start melting things. i have done a diagram as to how this works. it is VERY important that this wire is not connected to the perm live side of the bulb as it will result in whats said above. it MUST be connected between the bulb & the pressure switch. it shows in the diagram what feed runs through that wire when running or non running & thats how the unit knows when to shut the starter off. there were quite a lot of these that either run from the oil switch, or the battery warning light/alternator. hope this helps you.

thanks for the help mario. im almost there with the remote start. it starts then stops, then starts and stops, then starts a third time and stops again, so i know the starting side of things is all cool, the problem is, i need to find which wire it is i need to tap into in the car so that the sensing wire from the alarm knows when the engine is running. I think it should work if i tap into the battery light but what colour and where is the best place to find this wire?

you should be able to locate those wires behind the clocks/dash. just trace the wires back from the bulb to the plug and with the aid of a multimeter you can find out which is live & which is neg feeds.
