06 - Alarm and Remote Start Install - OBDII, Ground, Parking Lights, Horn, Siren, Hood Pin Switch

[@RGONZ1]

I had to use another power source instead of the power wire running to the OBD. The alarm system kept popping a fuse which stopped me from starting my jeep. All good now.

[@christfellowshiplittleton8103]

Interesting. I have yet to have an issue with the obd power source... strange. Glad you got it sorted.

[@randeepbrar1562]

I have same issue which wire u used for power

[@johnbrumfield6212]

I saw what you did there!! Awesome vids!! I'm just missing one concept. How do you wire accessories like Defrost or Windshied wipers during remote start/run?

[@alstewart5843]

Ok I didn't see what you did with the other two park light wires. The green/violet, and the black/red.

[@joek1980]

Hey CPO for the the Parking Brake connection you don’t have to remove the center console. Remove the transmission shift knob by turning it counter clockwise. Then lift up on the front part of the center console to release the clips and then the lift up by the front cup holder area. Then have a helper hold the console up until you make your connection. Then on the driver’s side of the console you will find a large bundle of wires coming from under the dash. Open the bundle up and find the Dark Green/White wire. To test this wire with a Digital Multi Meter put one test lead to any good ground and the other to the wire. When you raise the parking brake you should be reading continuity. Do the usual military style splice to the Black/White wire (Neutral Safety - Input) from the Excalibur harness and your good to go!

Awesome! Thanks. that's exactly the info I needed (that I was going to trace out myself)!

[@5sunny01]

@@o3djeeps parking brake wire is only for the manual transmission right? not for the automatic transimisson right?

[@ChloexLashay]

I got lost when you tapped into the wires for the horn. There are two wires do we tap into one or both?

[@gitmac53]

The horn wire goes to the positive relay or horn lead, depending on what year you have will be the location of it, on my 2009 jeep wrangler I tap into the positive wire that goes into the horn that is behind the driver side headlight

[@javybusa]

Great videos CPO. I have dual horn high and low. Do I have to tap into both or by tapping into one trigger both.

[@5sunny01]

Instead of connecting the red and the purple/black wire to the OBD11, can I connect this to a constant power HuB that I have inside the cabin?

[@o3djeeps]

Sunny Sharif yep... Any 12v always on power source. I tried to make the install something that even someone with a stock Jeep can do... So the OBDII port was just an easy place that anyone can find and everyone will have. Use whatever you have.

[@billytrainor6366]

CPO On the 18 pin harness you left 3 wires for the horn. I think you connected the blue/black one to the horn where are the other 2 going and do you need them?

[@o3djeeps]

Only two for the horn. one went to power on the OBDII port, and the other went to the horn. I explained that part in the OBDII section at around 1:36 Let me know if that makes sense

[@Rico-by3ss]

Hey CPO, when you say connect the wire to the horn relay, do you mean the horn that came with the Excalibur system? If so, that means the horn will have the 2 wires connected to the positive wire?

[@javybusa]

Ok so violet/black goes to power brown/black to ground and blue/black to horn. I have a siren but horn was not connected by shop. I want to connect the horn aswell. Got alittle confused because it says to go to horn relay. Thanks for your videos. 05 acura tl here.

[@HeyKMO]

Actually connecting anything to the OBDII is illegal and you will not be allowed to get your vehicle smogged. Ask me how I know… This is in Nevada.

[@desmoguy]

Another great video CPO! What crimper are you using? It looks like a really nice one.

[@o3djeeps]

Thanks, David. It's this one: amzn.to/2hfGm5H $25 and it works well. I researched a bunch of reviews before settling on it.

[@MichaelVician]

Was going to ask the same 😀

[@joek1980]

Ya I wanted to ask this too! Looks good!

[@rrrobin2569]

Did I miss the video for the parking brake wire for the manual transmission?

[@o3djeeps]

No...you didn't miss it. I mentioned it somewhere...but haven't done anything passed that. I will be installing a proximity sensor in the lid of the center console, and when I do that I will be removing the center console and can show where that wire goes. It's really easy tho... when you remove the center console there is a single wire with a blade connector going into the parking brake. You are just going to tap into that wire. When I pull the console, I'll trace that wire to see if there is an easier place to tap into it rather than pulling the console.

[@o3djeeps]

Check out Joe K's comment... He offers some help on the parking brake wire!

[@Fireguy1962]

As I get older and have more experience with aftermarket parts, it’s just something else to go wrong, especially electronics. Good info but I’ll stick with stock equipment. Besides I have the lifetime warranty.
