Hey guys, I'm getting ready to install my 2WSS-AS in my 2004 Colorado. I already have some pictures and stuff of how to hook the alarm itself up, but I have a couple of other questions. The truck is a manual so I'm a bit hazy on how to bypass the clutch. Also, where do I wire in my bypass? I got the 555L from DEI and it looks like theres only 2 wires to hook up to the truck itself.

The yellow wire at the clutch switch needs a negative "start pulse" A negative signal that cycles with the starter....This is how astroflex does it. Read the compustar install manual, they'll give you details Im glad your using a system thats designed for manual trans, unlike some other fools I've seen post on this site! Take your time.... -------------

Ok cool, thanks for the help. Can you help me out on wiring up my passlock bypass? I'm not sure which wires i'm supposed to tap into, and where the best place is to tap into them. I looked at the BCM module on the truck and there's several wires there, but I couldn't find the wires listed in the booklet for the bypass.

Page 3-4 is the passlock bypass conection diagram you want to work with.
Locate the wire running down the key cylinder in your vehicle. Only three wire. Page 4. cut and connect.
Page 3, connect all the wire that is require for PASSLOCK II.
Page 5 is to learn the r-code, start car for 5 second, shut down. Done! Now do remote start.

Is the best place to put the bypass then someplace up underneath the dash where it can be hidden and only accessed when most of the dash is removed?

Correct. Keeping the bypass hidden is a good thing so that it doesn't compromise the security of your vehicle. ------------- Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that the 555L will work with the new GM's with the key sense, second ignition, starter, and Passlock resistance all in one wire. I use the PLXR on these ION based vehicles and it works like a champ.

You are correct Jeff. Miss this one. It's got the five wire connector and not listed for use in 2004 Colorado. ------------- Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

Thanks for checking this. I'm not a DEI dealer but I didn't think they had anything for these vehicles yet. Thanks again for checking.

I am not a DEI dealer either so I when along with the given infomation, but I do know that Astroflex has the bypass for it and it's simple to do.
As Jeff indicated PLXR is the correct module to use. ------------- Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

Who would sell the PLXR where I could pick it up locally?

It's available at bypasskit.com or through someone on this forum as well. We sell these, just email for price but it will be sent to you via snail mail.

hi jeff... well guys i have good news (sorry for the thread jack) you can use the 555l or asgm4 on the new vehicles thats use the aformentioned wire, you jsut have to hook it up i little different. hook it up like normal at first, but to learn the resistance you have to hold the key in the crank position for 10 seconds. now take the ignition wire (pink on the 555l, and yllow blue on the as-gm4) and put on a second ignition wire from the remote start (one that is only powered up with the remote start, and not with the key. since there is no passlock ground wire A.k.a. reference ground you have to chassis ground it. this method works on the ions,cobalt, and all the other gms that use this multi function wire. -------------

I was wondering if anyone had an in depth description of how everything should be wired with this alarm. The Install Manual doesn't go into any great depth, and I've never done this before. I know this probably the best thing to do as my first alarm install, but if I take my time I should be fine.

I got the alarm part of the install wrapped up for the most part. I went to hook up the door pin wire last night and ran into a problem. I double diode isolated each wire, at least I think I did it right, and every time I arm the alarm it says the door is open. I wasn't sure exactly how to diode isolate everything, but here's how I did it. I put a T-connector on each wire at the BCM, then ran wires from that to the wire for the door pin sensor from the alarm, and put two diodes on each wire before the wire to the alarm. Each wire has two diodes in one end of a butt connector, and the wire from the bcm in the other, then a wire cap connector at the wire from the alarm. Is this the correct was to do this? Or what did I do wrong?

You have to wire the diodes in parallel not series. Also make sure that you wire up the diodes like this diagram:

so they each need to hook to a seperate place on the wire from the alarm? I'll try that when I get home from school in a couple hours.

another question on wiring the PLXR. Which wire on my Compustar would be the (-) Out when running from car starter that the PLXR wants? would that be the (-) starter output on the alarm itself? I'm assuming it is but I want to be sure. Thanks

It's the BLACK status wire that you need to attach to the ground when running wire of the PLXR

one last question, what wire do I have to cut to wire in the PLXR?

is there a wire that needs to be hooked up to the clutch in order to remote start the truck?
Posted By: Velocity Motors
Date Posted: May 24, 2005 at 7:32 PM
Yes, the clutch wire needs to be bypassed in order for the remote start to work.

Yellow @ the clutch switch.....NEG (-) start pulse!

So I'm going to assume I hooked the starter output wire to the yellow wire at the clutch switch?
Posted By: Velocity Motors
Date Posted: May 26, 2005 at 6:43 PM
Meter the wire to ensure that the clutch wire is (+) and then wire in a relay that closes when the status wire is energized.

Ok, sounds easy enough. My only question is, how do I wire in the relay? I've never worked with relays and I can't really understand how to wire it up from what is on this site. Sorry for so many questions, I'll learn this stuff eventually.
