When i use that remote for example to open the car, the angel eyes do "blink" on and off when you hit it.. So im sure its possible just need to figure out how to wire it or perhaps like others said it could be coded.

Also when i start it with the remote start button, the angel eyes and rest of parking lights actually do come on as well as interior even though the light knob is on "off".

yours is a 2006 model and the AEs are fed from the LCM, besides, to achieve the remote engine start, i am sure they have "buried" a spare key somewhere in the vicinity of the ignition coil, to allow the reading of the code in the key... Guaranteed Alarm in Brooklyn, on Coney Island Ave, by the Parkway exit does these installs (SlickGT can confirm this)

in the OP case, his AEs would not be going through the LCM, so he would have to hardwire his desired output...
