must start with key before remote

I would give it a try. Tachometer monitoring is the most reliable way to let the RS know the vehicle is running. Give it a shot and get back to us.Installer, IT support, and FFL. I need less hobbies.

The security light on the dash has been on since I cut the wire. The car itself is not acting up, there is just always going to be a light lit up on the dash. I will try the tach wire tonight, and let you guys know. Thanks for all of your help!

That's is what I thought would happen-- this would be a "tough sell" if it is not your own vehicle-- for sure a comeback even if it does work alright...just not professional...and I would not do it......Thanks for your honest input......Brcidd - Engineer That Does Remote Starter Installs on the side.

Well that's the thing...it is my vehicle and I dont really care.  I can definetly see what you are saying;  I could see other people not liking it, but they can pay the 30 for the bypass module...I just didnt think it was necessary if I could get around it.  I havent tried hooking up the tach sensor yet, but I am still planning on doing it tonight.  I will let you know either way.  Thanks again!

I tried hooking up the tach wire with no luck. I couldn't find the wire. I tried all of the violet/white wires and white wires coming through the firewall. I also tried the white and violet/white wires at the ignition control and no luck. I tested these wires with a volt meter in both AC and DC. The most fluctuation I got was about .9 volts. I also tried running without the tach wire hooked to anything and the remote start would work, then later it wouldn't. I tried placing the tach wire to the battery positive after the RS started the car, and that would only work sometimes. I don't know where to go from here. Thanks for all the help so far. Hope you guys have better ideas than I do.

For a 1999 Grand Am the tach will be violet/white at the coil pack.Think. It's not illegal yet.

sounds like to me you are using a dei remote starter and the voltage sense needs to be set to low voltage sense or shut the engine checking off.My rifle is my friend...

I grounded the RS using one of the bolts on the metal frame that holds the steering column together.
