Astroflex RS, 2001 Nissan Altima

I have a Astroflex RS and it has a output (-) when running.  It says, "This output  is activated during the START cycle and is powered up 1 second before ignition until 1 second after ignition".  Is this the same as a ground when running? 

I have a transponder bypass kit for my 2001 Nissan Altima.  It says to connect it to ground while running output.  I take it is what i found above, right? 

Also doesn't this make the spare key in have in the bypass kit send a signal constantly or does it just stay on until a real transponder key is put in?

The GROUND OUT WHEN RUNNING wire only activates when the remote start sequence is activated and turns off when the owner of the vehicle places the other key in the cylinder and takes over the vehicle. The RS unit will automatically shut down the (-) signal coming off the GROUND OUT WHEN RUNNING wire when the brake input detects voltage.

If the RS unit does not turn off the (-) signal for the transponder bypass module you will end up damaging both keys.

so according to what you say here, "The GROUND OUT WHEN RUNNING wire only activates when the remote start sequence is activated and turns off when the owner of the vehicle places the other key in the cylinder and takes over the vehicle.", what happens if i insert a copied key that doesn't have a transponder chip in it?  Will the car still stay on and be able to be driven with?

Jeff,

Please respond to this scenario then.  If the transponder bypass only shuts off when the brake pedal is pressed (therby shutting off the remote start unit) what happens if you insert a key into the ignition but dont press the brake right away? Or, what if the key is in the ignition and the remote start is pressed? These situations would seem to allow both the key and bypass unit to simultaneously send signals to the vehicles transponder unit (and would ruin the keys as you mention in your post above)?
