So from everything I have read and see on here the remote start from the hood latch is only 2 wires one to ground (-) by the TIPM on the fender and the other would go to C1 Connecter at the BCM pin 11 on plug ! I was looking at the factory kit that you can buy from the dealer and that is what i take from it one ground and one to pin 11 according to what i see on there instructions ! I have attached a PDF of the OEM wiring
If someone can please confirm this would be great Thank you !
Please let me know if the PDF works

Get in touch with John Lance on Facebook, he sells remote start kits that retain the hood switch feature but using an aftermarket switch to keep the price very affordable. Very knowledgeable and helpful guy. Here’s the link to his profile:

All you need is step 17 of those instructions

If pin 11 is present (chances are, it is) all you need to do is ground it

If I were to do this today, I would follow it up through the firewall and ground it under the fuse box

When I actually did it, I cut it, put a ring on it and grounded it under the dash

Do you have alfaOBD?

Go Into the program, set "remote start" to present "hood latch present" to yes and "hood latch resistance" to 500 ohms

Reset the RF hub, slap a 5 dollar inlay on your stock key to use the remote start contact and done

(I cut the inlay in half and used the panic section of the old inlay, because the new ones stick out too far and set off the alarm when you stick the key in the ignition)

I do have Alfa OBD Mx+ and security cable as well I have the fobic for remote start already ! the wire is there for the hood latch id there as well ! and wire in C1 pin 11 when I push start lights flash horn sounds but shows on dash cancelled hood open so i was going to chase wires and see if they are terminated anywhere in the harness just not sure what one needs to be grounded !
