i think we used a K04 bypass and had to use a spare key for my car. yea it's still sporadically shutting down, not sure why. never remember to run shutdown diagnostics after it does it....also this sounds dumb but i'm not sure where/how to tap into the injector for the tach...i don't want and can't go tachless. it didn't stay running and without a bitwriter at my every disposal i can't reset the starter timing. PRIMARY concern is programming the 2nd accessory for the climate control....kinda the whole point of remote starts....i can't follow on how to program it via valet switch. have gone thru the manual over and over and it just keeps sayin how simple it is to do....with a bitwriter....plus like you said it's gotta be bitwriter 2.6 or better to be compatible......any ideas?? thanks a million guys
