4206p 00 malibu guide?

Rob,

Looks good.  A few notes :

1.  The Hood Pin Switch is an important safety feature.  It prevents the remote start from working if the hood

      is open and will shutdown the engine if the hood is raised while running under a remote start.  2.  The PLJX install manual is a little difficult to follow.  Go with the PASSLOCK 2 & VATS CONNECTION diagram      but remember that VATS info is on there, too.  The PLJX connections for IGN and Starter can be connected at      the corresponding wires on the H3 harness and the power & ground can be piggy-backed to the 4206's power       and ground wires.

Soldering is fun!

10-4 on the hood pin. I assume your saying its a bit difficult to follow because it shows 5 wires at the key cylinder instead of 2 wires like the GM Passlock 2 bypass like you posted on the previous page? I mean here's the wiring on the PLJX...

Kinda like this? Or am I misunderstanding?

Actually, you posted the wiring diagram for the Colorado, Canyon, ION.  They use a slightly modified Passlock2.  For your 2000 Malibu you want to follow the wiring diagram on Page 6, labeled PASSLOCK 2 & VATS CONNECTION.  That's what I meant about it being a confusing install guide.Soldering is fun!

My bad, I forgot to scroll down. Laziness on my part. I saw the diagram then seen your last post. Gonna take a moment and let it soak in. Question - Regardless of passlock bypass that I buy, are they all gonna be that in depth or is there a bypass module less complicated? Just curious.

All of the bypass modules for that vehicle have pretty much the same wiring.  Some of the older bypass modules did cut the Passlock2 wire.   It's just that the install guide for the PLJX is so poorly written.

Take a look at this iDatalink install guide for the ADS TBSL PL.  The 2000 Malibu is Type 3 on Page 7.

http://cdncontent2.idatalink.com/corporate/Content/Manuals/TB-PL/ADS-TBSL-PL_20110120.pdfVery concise and clearly written plus the programming is very easy.   Plus there is a lot of good basicPasslock2 info at the beginning of the guide.

From this iDatalink guide, you now know that the Keysense wire connection is not necessary.  

Soldering is fun!

Here's the general power, ground, ignition, starter wire I'm gonna run then.

Splice into the Yellow wire for Passlock resistor value. No key sense wire.

Plus PLJX Brown to 4206 H2/9 Dark Blue, after programming is complete.   Soldering is fun!

PLJX (-) Black ... Ground wire in passlock harness.... You said piggy-back to the 4206's ground wire. Does it matter if its grounded at H1/2 or run to BLK (1835) at Passlock cylinder (shown in previous post)?
