I bought this on ebay, I have installed a few remote starters without problems in the past.  This thing came with poorly detailed installation instructions. I can't find any info on impulse alarms anywhere! This is going on a 2000 cavalier Z24...Here is one of my problems...When trying to remote start the car, it starts then immediatly stops.  I think it may have to do with the Passlock ll, but this alarm is supposed to be good for factory alarms.  Also the car didn't have door locks so I bought an aftermarket kit (spal) without switches but I can't get it to work with the alarm.  One last thing, domelight supervision-->The wire I Was told (lt. grn/blk) doesn't seem to work.

  • You have to use a anti-theft bypass module to bypass the Passlock II systems that the Caviaer uses. If you do not bypass the chip properly the car will not turn over or if it does turn over it will not stay running more than a couple of seconds.
  • The door locks should not be a problem, you will need 2 relays to activate the door lock/unlock via remote control.
  • L GREEN/ BLACK (-) Covers Driver Door Only, L BLUE (-) Covers All Other Doors, Diode Isolation Needed Cathode (Band) Side Of Diode Faces OEM Wires. Conv. Center Module Located Behind Driver Dash To Left Of Steering Column.

One to lock and one to unlock. Wire the door locks in series ( + to + and - to - ).

Sorry to say, but these Impulse Brand alarms/remote starts seem to be crap.   Poor Design and poor documentation.   The company that makes them I think is in Washington.  But the "Impulse" Label seems to be a private label for whoever distributes them.   If you post the FCC ID # off the remote or brain,  I can tell you who makes them and maybe they can give you some support ??

Otherwise,  stick with the well known names in the future.

Thanks Thinkster,  I took a chance when I bought it....I only paid $64, which isn't too bad for a alarm/starter combo.  Here is the FCC ID# JLFTX4.

This domelight supervision still bothers me...what is the difference between that and the trigger wires at the doors?  There is one more wire the installation asks for is a (-) armed output or was it input, I don't remember! but the wire I was told was that same wire                                          for the door trigger and domelight supervision (L GRN/BLK)

I'm not 100% convinced that it is the passlock II system on my car that is causing it to shut down immediatly after remote starting.  This is one of the features listed for my alarm-->Multiplexed PATS, VATS and Factory Alarm Disarm Outputs. <--I'm not sure if one of the wires for that is not connected, as there is about 8-10 wires not in use.

Company that makes it is: International Electronics Inc Telephone: 360 254-156

Here's the website of the manufacturer:  http://www.internationalelect.com/prod01.htm     They don't have the brand "Impulse" listed on their website, because I have a feeling that they OEM this and a distributor is selling their product under the Impulse brand name.

Multiplexed PATS, VATS and Factory Alarm Disarm Outputs this just means that there is a single wire that shows ground when running for a bypass module to be installed ( optional NOT included in the remote starter ). You still need a Passlock bypass to properly bypass the anti theft system, otherwise you will not be able to remote start your vehicle.

You guys are great!  Tell me what do I do with this wire-->ORANGE conect it to --> "an ARMED OUTPUT (-) 500MA. SHOWS LOW WHEN SYSTEM IS ARMED"<-- what wire would that be in my z24? This one is for domelight supervision-->DOME LIGHT SUPERVISION OUTPUT (-) 500MA<--but which wire from the car do I use?  I think it's LT. GREEN/ black but what exactly will this do?
