Remote Start
Greetings,
If this is the wrong forum to post in I apologize.
I have a 2005 F350 Powerstroke.
I am installing a DEI 561R, I am curious if anyone has used the blunt cut wire for the PTO RMP Sensor for the Tach sensor? If so, do I tap right into that wire or do I need a special part, inline resistor??
Thanks in advance if someone knows.

Very few people know about that wire, and I haven't heard of anyone using it for the tach hook-up. The easiest way to tell if the wire is usuable is to test it with a multi-meter. You probably already know this, but if you value your trucks electronics, don't use a probe light. Always a multi-meter to test. To test the wire, set the multi-meter to read AC. Attach the - probe to a chassis ground point, start the truck, and attach the + probe to the PTO RPM wire. If it's reading between 1-6 volts, only when the truck is running, it's good to use. I personally didn't even bother to hook-up the tach. wire for my 791xv and just turned tach. sensing OFF in the programming menu. I just couldn't find a reliable enough tach. source. Post back, let us know if it's usuable.

Thanks for the info. I am also trying to track down how I can get the door unlock feature to work like the factory key fob, one press unlocks driver, two presses unlocks all doors and of courses a horn chirp when locked.
After searching the net, I realize someone with talent should start a site dedicated to installing these things. I just didnt trust the local install shop to start hacking into my wires.... therefore I did it myself. But trying to get some of those tough to find answers is aggrevating to say the least. At any rate I will test the wire and post when I find a solution. Thanks for the response

I'm not sure about the 561R, but the 791xv has a seperate output channel that can be used with a relay to have the second press of the unlock button open the passenger doors. At least that's what I used. If the 561R doesn't have a channel that's specifically for something like that, use the trunk open output.
They did, The 12volt. Check-out the Car Security and Convenience forum.
