Remote start status (eg. Wiper Interrupt) when GWR (Dark Blue A8) is configured for RAP pulse per Function 32 Mode 3?

Product: EVO-ONE
Vehicle: 2010 Toyota Tacoma (Standard 40-bit Key)
Configured per Fortin application note

I am looking for a signal (negative or positive) to indicate that the EVO-ONE has remote started the vehicle and that it is currently running. Ultimately looking to slave features such as wiper inhibit, defrost, etc. I understand that the Dk. Blue A8 "GWR" configured as Function 32 - Mode 1 or Mode 2 would be exactly what I need however I am required to configure GWR as Mode 3 for "Autolight shutdown" per the installation guide for my vehicle. I haven't looked at the signal with a scope or logic analyzer to confirm but it sounds like it will pulse ground only at the end of the remote start run but otherwise float high impedance.

I have scoured all documentation I can find but am wondering if there is another pin which may have an undocumented setting or alternative function which could be used for this?

I suppose in this case, I could force GWR line back to Mode 1 and then program a microcontroller to then mimic the RAP signal needed for Autolight shutdown -- but -- hoping there is a trick I am missing.

For wiper cutoff:

  • Green wire is a (-)ignition. It will output a (-) signal whenever the remote starter is active.

 

For rear defrost:

  • Yellow/Black can be programmed as an AUX through option 25. 
  • Option 39 will automaticially trigger the AUX output once the car is remote started and temperature is 5C and less.

 

The generic and full installation guide will have this info.
