Will be picking up a 2007 Chevy Malibu for Remote Start/Keyless Installation. I did some research on the vehicle and the intall is pretty straight forward with a databus module handling most functions. My concern is that the vehicle doesn't have a typical Starting System with a Starter wire and  I'm looking for input on how (or which wires) to use to install an Anti-Grind. I have been including Anti-Grind options as standard with all my Starter installs as most people love this option. I did look for an AP8 RPO Code for a Factory Add On, but this vehicle doesn't have that option and I've found most aftermarket Starters outperform the OEM ones, especially in range.

So, if anyone could give some guide as to how an Anti-Grind is wired into this vehicle, it would be greatly appreciated! Any other pointers or tips are appreciated as well! Thanks.

i believe this vehicle has a built in anti grind circuit from the factory. give it a try before you being your install.
nice...

Thanks, I was thinking that based on what I've seen of the ignition for the data bus install. I'll know in a week once I have the car..

no need for antigrind, the vehicle has one. the system MUX or multiplex. You can do a partial start (bump the starter), and the vehicle will continue to crank and start the vehicle.
likewise when it has been started, the starter is diabled

Want a little tip? Just do Ign. And Acc. At the switch, and a key in a box. Thats all that car needs. Save the fancy interface, and fooling with those "resistance" wires.

That might be fine for some, but I don't want to give up the rest of my feature set or an ignition key. This is the reason I stopped using local shops, they were taking the cheap way out and charging a premium. This method may be fine for some, but I intend on interfacing with the trunk, factory alarm, and door locks. The easiest way I found to do this was with a data module which will handle all those resistance values.

Horrible tip. This isn't the 90's anymore. Key in a box on a car like this makes me think the installer has a mullet.

Actually, I checked with a GM dealer and even though this car doesn't show an AP8 RPO Code it is listed via the dealer by VIN # as taking the factory add onn start. I can get the kit for $135 (same as I'd spend for a quality start unit and data module) and they can activate it for .6 hour labor charge whereas I'd have to burn a few hours wiring in the aftermarket one. I'll probably go that route, but thatnks for the postings.

Not positive but some of the GM remote start systems have some p< size=3 face="Arial">eculiarities, like a 10 minute run time with only one extension.  Might want to check on that.  Also the range isn't as good as most aftermarket systems, if that is important for your use situation.
Soldering is fun!
