it sounds as if it's not getting the VSS signal, or something similar.

I agree. Did you buy your car new or use? I remember they had one member who had the same problem who bought his car use and it turned out they had a kptech module previously installed from original owner.

I suggest doing what nogood describe or see if there is a switch anywhere.

We just need more info like if you bought it new or use.

read it and try it........... if it works out..... you have the KP thing
if it doesnt work, that means a trip to the dealer....lol


To change the programmed state you must hold the ‘OK’ button down for approximately
15 seconds. Once the button has been held down long enough the AUX output will pulse
on and off 4 times to provide indication that programming mode has been entered.

i had to do that once.. but i forgot exactly how.. you hold either the menu or enter button and you turn the volume **** 30 clicks to the left and it goes into diagnostic mode.

Have you tried to disconnect the battery for a few seconds to reset?

See all you had to do was follow directions...why would u use a 3 pole switch when the instructions clearly stated which one to buy? What happened with you is that your VSS wire was being grounded permanently instead of on/off.

A "3 pole" switch (which I am assuming you mean a 3 pin not 3 pole) could work if wired properly. It sounds like you connected the NC pin to the NO pin and therefore no matter where the switch is it won't work. All you would need to do is swap either one of the pins you are using now to the other pin that isn't being used now and it should start working.
