The "key-in-the-box" is the usual way to transfer the key's transponder chip info to the vehiles' antenna at the ignition switch, The most

common one is the DEI 556U. If you are proficient with soldering, have a relay and some 22+ gauge wire, you could do the "key wrap"

method. The 556U Install Guide is in the Downloads section.

Soldering is fun!

The Fortin Key-OverRide-All ( or PK-ALL ) mentioned earlier would be your best bet. Not a difficult install. Just follow the guide. That's the way I always do them.

One last question, ( hopefully ) lol... Using that method, if someone broke the ignition could he now easily steal the car since the immobilizer is bypassed?

The immobiliser is only by-passed when the remote start is in operation.

And don't forget the doors would still be locked.

No alarm so he breaks in, revs up or puts his foot on the brake, the R/S shuts down and the immobiliser is back on line.

In other words or in the real world the odds are no more or less than a "normal" break in.

I should have researched more before buying the remote start unit. I did not realize the hassle and extra cost of the bypass system. live and learn.

Im thinking about this one for $20 and it seems fairly simple. ( Bulldog Security 791 Universal Remote Start )

Same as the 556U from what I've heard, not as good. A data bypass is far more reliable.
