the Canyon/Colorado have a different version of PL II ( same as the Saturn Ion) and the 555L is not compatible.... you need the 556L or PLJX as i already mentioned....

Yup your right . The LW is just a modified L. The 556L is for the Colorado. Thanks guys I'll go tomorrow get the right module and strangle the tech guy. I just hope the wiring directions match my truck better.

LW is just an L ( not a MODIFIED L ) the W just stands for white box ( as opposed to the clam shell package) i'd have to question who you are getting your info from as none of it seems to be accurate.....

I talked to an installer that used to work at a stereo place he just guessed that is was a variation of the LW but also agreed that you were right about being it the wrong module

Yes I'm sorry it is the blue white wire. Im told the colorado is a mix of passlock 1and 2. My bypass module a, 555L, also wants a negative bulb test wire. I found a black in the harness that goes negative during the crank and drops out at the start but also is negative in the off position I dont think this is a problem . Merry Christmas by the way.

I know everyone here is saying you need the 556l to bypass this, but take a look at this. I know it says its for the ION but its the same starting system to my understanding.

they came out with that in 03 before they realized that it didnt work properly, plus using the PLXR / PLJX eliminates the need to CUT into the passlock wires, ensuring a stable bypass without affecting the OEM system or potential warranty issues....

Well with help from all of you guys my RS install is a winner. And the 556L comes with model specific instructions. In thirty minutes I had the 555 out the 556 in, my dash back together and my truck was starting with the remote.

I hooked up the white drivers door unlock trigger up for now but having the 5wi door locks would be nice. If any one has wire specific instructions on this it would be nice.
