Remote start install
98 Malibu 3.1 Have gotten pretty much everything else figured out on the remote start/alarm. Problem I'm now running into is the accessory wires from the remote start to the ignition switch. I have one output from the alarm and two Orange wires and two pink wires in the ignition harness. Do I need to tie into both and diode isolate them or what? Also the RS has an output to ground when remote starting, kills the ground while cranking and comes back when running. I am planning to use a relay, use this ground, to cut the accy power from the RS while cranking like it is set up from the factory. Is that a good idea, or just hook it direct? Or does one orange wire run lights, blower, windows, and the other everything else (radio, etc)? I know the radio doesn't cut out unless the car is bein bitchy and not wanting to start right away.
Alarm/RS system is an Autopage RS730, I have Violet for starter out, Red (x2) for power into the RS, yellow- ignition 1 out to pink in the car, pink - ignition 2 output to green in the car, and brown to accys- orange in car.
If I'm understanding correctly, the 2 red wires are just constant hots. I am running a feed line in from the battery for all my main power and for all my relays, and tieing into the line as needed. Can I just tie these two reds into my new main line, instead of cutting into more of the ignition harness? My "main line" is an amplifier power cable, so it is large enough to handle the load from several taps.
