Oh, I would totally choose your information over theirs, but I get too much product from them to just get rid of them.. So just to clarify, I need a 555G for a 01 Pontiac Grand Prix GT? Correct?

Okay, so now that I have that figured out.. What does use a 556U?  Would a Grand Prix GTP use one? Because the company I get it from (Keystone) sent me a 556U first, saying it was right.  Now they're saying it's a 555G.   I'm just trying to figure out where they dropped the ball.

556U is used for vehicles that the immobilizer is part of the key and transmits a signal when the ignition is turned. Common example would be ford with pats. Some of the new chevy's are coming out with this type of immobilizer. The 556U might have worked on this but wired will work much better.

Okay, thanks a lot for your help auex.  I really appreciate it.  Although I don't think I'll need it in the future, this is the LAST Remote Start we'll be installing ;)  Thanks again

All right guys, I'm having another little problem with the 561R, and the 555G.   Again, the vehicle is a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT.  The problem that we're having now is that the Status output LED won't light up on the 555G.  The Status Output Wire no the 561R is Yellow in color, and on the 555G the wire that goes to that is Blue, or I'm assuming.  The mechanic said that he remembers reading somewhere that there's a way to make the yellow wire negative, instead of positive, but we don't know how to do that.  Unless someone else has another idea why it wouldn't go into learning mode, I'm all ears.

Thanks for the time.

561R doesnt have a yellow status wire... in fact none of the DEI product does    the yellow should be for ign feed/holdback to an alarm..... sounds like you've got something hooked up wrong.... status on the 561R is blue, 2nd status output is blue/white

Status on the 561r is blue on the small 4 pin harness adjacent to H1 (parking lights, ground, trunk etc.). It's about 4" in length, containing -ve starter, -ve ignition, -ve accessory.

Okay, we hooked up the blue wire, and everything works now.  Thanks guys!   Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.  Now I can never do another one of these again! :D

it's amazing how simple things go when you read the instructions properly, isnt it?

dont let this one experience taint you... try a few more and read and then re-read the wiring instructions to make sure you are hooking it up correctly... they really are quite simple once you get the hang of it and get your confidence built up......
