Hi There, got a problem. (obviously)
I got a remote starter for Christnmas, and I attempted an install, everything works great, as long as the key is in the ignition. What I didn't realize at the time was that this vehicle is equiped with the Pass Key III system.
Now I'm a professionall installer (or was about 5 or 6 years back) but not in the busness any more, so of course I don't have access to the dealer/installer manuals etc. that I'm used to :( but either way, still very capable. But before I go mucking around with that Pass Key system, I was wondering if there are any way to easily (or not so easily) by pass this system for a remote starter?
Thank for the help, and the great site.
Cheers.
What type of vehicle are you working on? Certain Pass Key III vehicles have bypasses available that interface with the vehicle wiring and don't require a key in the dash. Other types require that you put a spare key programmed to the car in the dash somewhere so that it sees the signal while remote starting. A good place to look would be bypasskit.com you can see a lot of different info on what bypasses are available for what car etc.. Or like I said let us know what car your working on and we can probably recommend something. Good luck,
Mike
Hey isk-ck, I installed a codealarm r/s unit in wifes 2000 venture with passkey III. I used a model pkg4 bypass in it and it seems to work great. It seems the experts on this sight say that the bypasses that require a key inside could give you a problem in cold weather. This one doesn't require a key and was easy to hook up. I picked it up at the local retailer/install shop at the same time i bought the r/s. here is a website that is on my paperwork (www.freetechinfo.com). Maybe worth checking out. hope this helps.
