What version do you have ? THis is for the 01.01.01 Ver.Jeff

It says Version 01.02 on the Bypass Module. I am pretty sure this is the one: https://shop.bypasskit.com/OriginalManual/PLXR_010203_I.PDF

You may want to make sure that the problem is related to your VATS bypass interface. Simply check to see if the car starts with the key. If it does then slide the key into the ignition cylinder, but don't turn it. The car's computer wil read the resistor in the key just fine. Now try and remote start it. If it starts and runs without a problem for atleast 30 seconds, then the problem is in the VATS bypass. If it doesn't start, then you have another problem which should be fixed first. If the VATS system isn't hooked up correctly, the car shouldn't even try to crank. Check for second ignition circuits in the car. You may find a green wire in the ignition harness that is an ignition. Also check for a blue 10 gauge wire in the corner of the fuse panel. It may need to be powered too.sparky

Okay, still having problems with this. The car will remote start with the key in the ignition, so it is in the VATS module. What color is the wire that the blue (Resistor Value) wire from the PLXR connects to? It says yellow on the sheet and I tried the only yellow wire there and it didn't work. I also tried the relay method. I tested the key and got 9.4K Ohms. The closest resistor I could find at Radio Shack was 10K Ohms with is with 10% of the value. Still no go. It will not even remote start with the key in the ignition that way. Any ideas?

Did you make sure that your GROUND OUT WHEN RUNNING wire was supplying enough of a negative current to activate the module ? Also, make sure that you are grabbing the wire ( YELLOW ) between the cylinder and the BCM. Does the module tell you that it programmed properly ??Jeff

It is very strange. I had everything working and I had run the resistor value wire to one of the two white wires in the orange sheathing that it says to use if you go with the relay method. Then I unplugged everything to reroute the wiring and now it will only start with the key in the ignition. I checked all of the wiring and it is exactly how it was before I unplugged it. The GROUND OUT WHEN RUNNING supplies enough, since it was working before, and that is the same wire that I have used for other bypasses when using the RS900VI. Where exactly is the BCM in a 1995 Olds 98?

Just as an update. I got it to work the same way again, but when the Blue wire from the PLXR is hooked to the either or both of the two white wires, I cannot start the car normally with the key. I programmed the module for "Passlock I / VATS" and then programmed the resistor value with the care started several times. I did try that Yellow Wire again. It doesn't seem to do anything on that wire. It is the only Yellow wire (Excluding the Starter wire) that is coming from the Steering Column. I am tapping the wire right when it leaves the column, so it is before the BCM. I am going to call their tech line later this week and see if I can figure anything out from them.
