Is a Passlock Bypass needed 98 Transport

Well I ph. my local CT and they didn't have stock and said it was back ordered. They did give me another place to go and get lit up the road   but they want $30 for it.   No thanks!   For that price I'll just use  relays,  I got a dozen of  them out in the shop!. 

 I ph. up the store I bought my RS at and talked to the guy there and he didn't have stock either.  He said  he's used them and they work but not in all applications.  Reason bieng  they don't put out enough current  for  some systems.  So he says they just simply wire in relays.  

If you want to go with the inverter route what I would do is  just ph. Prostart/AutoStart and ask them .

On your van depending on how the locks are  triggered and that it  probably has keyless entry from the factory the inverter may very well work fine.  But you paid what 1/2 price so $50 for the whole Prostart so if you got to pay 30 for this inverter connection  its not very reasonable!  Maybe you can find it cheaper out your way.

  If you can't get any info when  I get to doing mine  I'll check the amp draw on the lock wires and post it. I have an  inductive amp probe that reads down pretty low I think ,one handy tool for doing electrical stuff!! 

I forgot to post this link twice now so here it is http://www.7thgencivic.com/wiring/index.php?change=1

if gives a good listing of the wires and the one you need for the power sliding  door.

I installed my remote start today on the 1998 transport.   It was an  easy   install  as  all the wires were  easy to get at and lots of room.   Only issue I had was the info sheet I had was wrong regarding polarity of the door lock triggers.  The info on the net said you needed a + output to trigger them when it  was a - which what  the RS  module produces.   The door lock wires in the kick pannel on the drivers side are  light gauge wires  which I assume are a single wire back to the body control module.   I didn't need any relays for the locks on this vehicle.    In anycase I wired it up and it works like a charm.   Not sure how far my transmiter range  is yet.   I'll  find out next time I park in city and go to a game. 

Tonight I took a closer look at some other companies wire code references  like the one DEI has and sure enough they call for a - trigger for the door locks on the Lt blue and white wire  in the down in the   kick pannel.  Same old story always got to check the wires to make sure!!  The info I had must be for the way you wired it up on the passenger side..  Sure glad I didn't go and order that door lock  polarity  gizmo  I was talking about last week!!

What kind of remote starter did you install? So do I need the INV-200 for my door locks? Will I be okay without it? This is some new info about the the locks being (-). If the locks are (+) and I wire them up without the INV-200, what could happend? Will I fry anything? Do you have a link to the DEI website. Any help would be great. Thanx
