Looking for info on trying to get my radio to remote start my truck. I have come across people talking about this on some post awhile ago. Any info or a place to start looking would be great.

I have a spectra right now, MDC, QCII, DTMF doesn't matter just looking to see how this would be hooked up and what other parts I would need.

You'll need a remote starter with an auxillary input. Usually, you ground the aux input and it will start the vehicle. You program your radios external alarm pin to go to ground upon recieving a call alert. Program it is for momentary and maybe about 3 seconds. Connect the radio's external alarm to the remote starter's aux input.

Now, when your radio receives a call alert, the external alarm goes to ground and the truck starts.

Thanks for the help sounds easy enough to do. Guess I can't use the ignition scene then, would have to keep the radio on all the time. Any help on finding the external alarm pin on a spectra either the low power or high power I have both in there. would be great Thanks again

I'm using a CDM so I can override the ignition sense with the power button. Don't know anything about making a spectra work like that though.
