Remote Starter Help!

[lonnie]

I just had a quick question for those that have the remote start on a 2.4L. Did you have to buy the 555L or the 556LW Bypass Module, or did you go another route. I'm about to install remote start in my car and I really didn't want to go the module rought because they are high around here. So any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Yes I did do a search and none of them answered my question. Thanks in advance.

I used the DEI 555L for $20 online when I did mine and it worked like a charm.
about 3 months later my ignition cylinder had to be replaced because passlock was acting up, but I'm not sure if it was related.

I THINK there's a way to bypass that module using a resistor in place of something, but I don't know how it's done.
I believe Richie mentioned it a while back, so I'd shoot him a PM if you want to go that way.

Thanks clutch for the reply. I know how to bypass it but it isn't the simplest way, and I seen his way and I think that does it permanetly I THINK not for sure though. http://www.passlock2.com/ This link is what I have found so far its just so time consuming. I guess I'm looking for the short way. Where online did you order yours because if I can get it for that price I won't do the alternative. That beats a hundred bucks around here.

I'd sell you mine for a bit cheaper.. but it's been in my garage on a shelf for the last year and a half and I'm not sure if it still works properly.

Good looking clutch I'll check them out, in the mean time I'm going to try the mod in the other thread I started about disabling the Passlock II with a switch to remote start it. We'll see, I'm going to do this this weekend. Wish me Luck!

I finished installing my remote start today. It took a total of 3hrs including prep and taking the radio and console apart. I got to say this first I looked at many sites to get the correct wiring diagram for my car and I have got to say that the12volt.com information on wiring is a pile of confusing shit. I got my diagrams from bulldogsecurity.com, and didn't have a problem. I'm available for questions regarding the remote start setup itself but I didn't do the doors so I cant answer any questions concerning them. To keep this simple and sweet I'll describe my starter and hook ups.

I installed a BOA remote start system
The hook ups are as follow:
12volt constant - I hooked to the red wire from the ignition switch. Some remote starters have two 12 volt constants like mine and its ok to hook both to the red wire, I just fused mine at 30 amps which was supplied with the kit.
Ignition 1 - I hooked to one of the pink wires from the ignition switch, it doesn't matter whick one you hook to because they are joined at the switch.
Ignition 2 - I hooked to the Dark Green wire from the ignition switch.
Accesory - I hooked to one of the orange wires from the ignition switch, it doesn't matter which one you hook to because they are joined at the switch.
Ground - I hooked mine to the mounting plate for the shifter, you don't have to put it there as long as you have a good chassis ground.

I also installed a Passlock II disable switch so that I can disable the passlock system to allow the car to be remoted started. Operation is simple you start the car flip the switch so that the security light comes on, wait 5 seconds and turn the car off leaving the switch in the disable position, then turn the car off and you can remoted start it at any time. Once remote started you can flip the switch at anytime to enable the passlock. There you go simple and sweet! Any questions leave them in here.
