What is the make and model of the remote you bought

OK I will pull the diagrams on it and your car and give you some instructions on hooking it up. Once you get it if you get stuck on anything you are free to come back and ask and I will help you for no extra cost. Thanks

"What do I need to consider and purchase to install an aftermarket remote start and push button ignition on my 2011 mazdaspeed 3?"

**MATERIALS**
- A roll each of a few different colors 18 gauge wire. (you can use all the same colors too and just mark em with tape or something. Its up to you how "factory" you want the install to appear to someone who comes across the wires.)
**These are all the colors you need to match up with the modules.
Grey, Brown, Red, Green, Blue, Black, Purple, White, Yellow, Orange**
At least 100 pack of decent zip ties

- A good size roll of solder
- An assortment of heat shrink.
- A roll of electric tape
- A few blue ring terminals
- Some self tapping screws

**TOOLS**
- A set of wire cutters
- A set of wire strippers
- A soldering gun (or iron but I prefer the gun type..mine was like 11 bucks at harbor freight and it works great since I made a new tip for it)
- A heat gun (another tool from harbor freight i have used almost daily for years now)
- A drill with a driver adapter and random bits.
- 40MM hole saw
- Basic hand tools.


"My understanding is I need a bypass for the immobilizer. What do I need to do to address the steering wheel lock???"
If I am reading right that blade series bypass includes the locks and immobilizer. I may be understanding.. are you saying it comes with the blade series bypass? If so you are covered.. if not you are going to need to get one.. or something similar.

I would also suggest getting the window module. I put an alarm on one of my cars that had that and it is a very handy feature. (I tend to forget to row my windows up when I am in a hurry)

Let me know if I missed anything here.
Also please let me know if it has the smart key or factory remote start or alarm or anything. Thanks

Once you pick out everything I am going to make you some custom wiring diagrams. If you are already splicing 30 connections dont let a couple more scare you. I can even make you a video showing you how to solder them. Its very simple once you learn to do it right.

I make my own tips out of coat hangers and that makes it even easier. I can show you that too. Once you start soldering connections you will never use a butt connector again. Its cleaner, cant come apart, has hardly any resistance, wont become a problem later and goes much faster.

I can solder 10 wires in the time you can crimp 1 or 2. Trust me the connections will be your easy part.

As far as the steering column lock I still need an answer to my last question to determine what we will do with that. We will bypass it one way or another.

"Also please let me know if it has the smart key or factory remote start or alarm or anything. Thanks"

And I appreciate the rating. I will stick with you till you are satisfied either way. Then I know when you got more questions you will request me :)

And do not feel like I am pressuring you.. just making sure you are aware.. Tips are appreciated. Especially when I am gonna spend probably 3 hours making you a nice pretty easy to follow diagram ;)

Like I said dont feel like I am pressuring you on that.. just want to make sure you know how much time is going in to it.. you can hold off on the tip too till I get the diagram done and you see it. And I wont be mad if you dont tip at all. I enjoy helping people. Thats why I'm here. Regardless I will stick with you as long as you are willing to do the actual work once I explain it.

I actually have a selfish interest in this one ... after researching this thing for your question I think one of those would go real nice in my avalanche :)

Anyway let me know the answer to this
Also please let me know if it has the smart key or factory remote start or alarm or anything. Thanks

And let me know which bypass you decided on and I will get started with your instructions.

You also may want to pick up your soldering supplys in advance and practice a little bit so you can get good at it before you do the real deal. Once you get your supplys let me know and I will teach you to do it.

I will be standing by. Thanks

Great. I will go through and get everything together and make diagrams and figure out what were gonna have to do with the steering lock.

Dont expect this real fast. Ill try to get it done at SOME POINT tonight but its gonna take some time and I got a couple of jobs to finish first so it will be later tonight.

Oh.. and we are wiring in the window one too correct?

Thank you. I appreciate it and you will get diagrams and once you get soldering supplys a personal lesson on wiring :)

Great. I will make you a video later. Still working on your diagrams too. Tried to finish em up last night but about 4AM my wife said if I didn't go to sleep she was gonna smack me with a frying pan. Gonna finish em up in a couple of hours when I am done with a job I am doing and I will make you a soldering video then too.

What soldering iron did you get? I wanted to check the specs on it too before I make a video.

I am compressing the video right now (it was gonna take 5 hours to upload to youtube at its current size). And I am working on your diagrams. Hopefully I will get that done tonight too. As soon as this file is done compressing I will post a link. Thanks for your patience.

P.S. There's a reason I am not in the video business :)

Yeah sorry I did work very late on it.. and my video failed. Gonna make you another later this evening......gonnna find a better format than AVI.. that video came out to over 5 gigs! I will probably use my surveillance software. It has small decent quality videos. I have been so slammed at the shop today this is the first time I have had today to check on my questions here. Give me a few and I will give you a teaser. I took this wiring diagram a little overboard but if you have trouble once its all done I would be very surprised (my wife says I am just a perfectionist.. i just like to make things nice when I can) You are certainly getting your money out of it either way. I spent over 4 hours on it last night and I am nowhere near done. If you get a chance though could you contact them and see about a diagram for the auto window module? I didnt see one on their site.

OK here is a little teaser for you. I may get it done tonight if I am able to dodge that frying pan :) She wanted me to take yesterday off for my birthday and go have a birthday dinner and I ended up working all day so it may be flying tonight :)

Anyway it has turned into a project for me for some reason and its actually relaxing which is why I am spending so much time making it all pretty.

Oh.. glad you told me. Any other changes before I get the whole diagram done? :)
I dont know what happened. I was in a rush to get back out and check something on a car I am diagnosing.. guess I forgot to paste the link.
I know I copied it.. it got lost between photobucket and here I guess. Here it is again.

Yeah I got an idea on what I would do if it was mine (and probably will when I put this system in my avalanche) shhhh.. dont tell the wife!

But I would either make a fuse and relay panel especially for it or more likely hit the u pick it junkyards and get one out of a little car with not too many fuses and relays (or more realistically go get the one I got in my shop from a wire fire a couple of months ago where I got a whole new engine harness).

This system is gonna have at least 5 or 6 relays and 10 fuses. I wouldn't want em strung all over. I would want em in a nice fuse box just like factory where they were all in one spot and easy to get to and not looking like crap screwed into the firewall or (like a lot of the "professional" car audio and alarm installs i see where they just got relays zip tied or taped to a wiring harness under the dash. If you are going through the trouble to put this setup in your car I figure you must really like it and you would probably want to do the same as I would with mine.

Before I leave the shop tonight I am gonna redo that solder video and I can also give you a picture of the fuse box I got that I think would be perfect. It would be best to decide on what type of fuse box you are going to use before I complete the diagram so I dont have to change it. It will be an ordeal to go back and change things.

I am really surprised they dont offer a fuse box to go with these systems with all the fuses and relays they expect you to install.

I havent got that far. I just know I saw a bunch of em.. I will know for sure how many we need when we link it all together. If you got 7 and 3 that must be all they call for. We would be wise to put in a couple of main fuses or fusible links or something too. I was just gonna draw the plan up the way I see fit and if you want any changes I will make em for you.
I am going to go ahead and make you a quick video right now so you can get practicing while I finish my jobs.

Yeah you cant mail it. I can post another answer before we are done though and you can pay me again on it.. or just email customer service and tell them you want to tip me more or something.

I'm taking a new approach at this video. Had lots of problems again. Then I found I can record it right on youtubes site so you will have a video in a few minutes. Ill show you the fuse box in there too.

I got really busy yesterday and didn't get much of anything done.
Forgot to post the soldering video I finally got made right.

Today isnt gonna be too busy I think I should get your diagram finished up today at some point too.

Try this one

It is public.. not sure why it's doing that. I dont think I am supposed to give out my user name.
That link loaded fine through an anonymous proxy though so it should work.. if not search google for free anonymous proxy and load it through there. Thanks

Oh.. gotcha.. i just try not to give out anything that helps identify me because the conflict of interest with me owning a shop.. cant make it look like I am trying to steal business :)

Sheesh.. these things are never ending. I am working on getting everything tied together right now and have a few questions to make sure I am on the right track.

Where do you plan on putting the modules or do you want me to give you some ideas on that?
How many total relays and fuse holders did you get with your parts?
Where do you want to mount the power distribution box? (whatever we end up doing about that.. we can figure it out when we see how many wires we are actually dealing with)
Where do you want to tie into the vehicle harness? Or should I just put the most convenient spot?

I think that will cover me for a while .. im sure I will have more questions as I get it done.

Let me know. Thanks

I see. Sorry about that. Hopefully what I did provide has helped. Let me know if you run into any troubles with it. Maybe someone will need this diagram in the future anyway. Good luck with it.
