2000 monte carlo, autostart

Hello all :)

Well I have gotten the wife a AUTOSTART AS-8500 FM remote start https://www.autostart.ca/prodInfo.php?alarm=0&starter=1&tw=0&prod=AS-1855FM  and the IDATALINK Passlock I,II/PK3,PK3+ ( ADS-TBSL PL )https://www.idatalink.com/installguide.phpSolo series bypass for her 2000 Monte Carlo I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the install

I have done remote starts in the past on older modle cars but never one with factory alarm on them ( If you can call an anoying horn honk an alarm lol ) I do wiring trouble shooting on a daily bases and know how to use my DMM and test light :o): LOL , I solder and heatshrink all my conections and understand more or less what i need to do when it comes to wiring :o)

But i was hoping someone in the know could give me some heads-up on the install maybe a walk thru on this car or even some good tips or tricks dealing with this car

Thanks you Very much for any help

is the factory alarm the only problem? if so sometimes its happened to me in the past. did you hook up the factory alarm diarm wire? if you didnt its in the bcm above the brake pedal in a gray plug. its a lite green neg trigger. i encountered a monte like this one a  while back and the stock piece of crap kept kickin in i just hooked this wire up and bam there hasnt been any more problems. if you need any more help dont hesitate to ask.

Thanks for the reply :)  at the moment i haven't started to hook any of it up but i will keep that in mind when i get around to it

busy time of year for us all LOL

well I was hoping someone could clarify this for me

from what i can understand to do the hook up in this car i need 2 diodes for the door trigger wires and then 1 480ohm resister for the unlock signal wires i think that is everything that i will need

CAN ANYONE HELP ???

Hello all

and let me start by saying  thanks for everyone who has helped in this forum it is a great place to be and share info

for my question

I installed an autostart on a 2000 Monte Carlo SS and everything went well the only thing is how in the world do you Rearm the factory alarm

I have search and found no reliable info

If someone could be so helpfull as to clear this up for me it would be awsome

Thanks

Dan

after some more searching thru this and other sites i found averything i need

thanks all

Thank you Velocity

One more question on this 2000 Monte Carlo SS  is on some wiring sheets it says to use + park light wire and on other wire sheets it says use - park light wire and then there are other sheets that says Don't use + park light wire  why is that and

Is there a reason why I Shouldn't use the + wire ??

on the left side of the dash where the fuse panel is you can get to the harness for the parking lights which is behind the headlight switch there is a thin light blue wire in there that is a negative parking light wire. use that and then you wont have to diode the parking light wire or anything and you wont have to worry about the check engine light coming on during remote start

The factory alarm will arm if you pulse the door lock wire and the driver's doorpin wire to ground at the same time. The LF doorpion wire is drak blue in the gray 16 pin plug of the BCM. You can diode isolate the lock wire to do this, but you must also use a relay to open the wire going to the LF doorpin while the vehicle is running under remote start. Failure to use the relay won't allow the doors to lock. The BCM won't allow the doors to lock because it senses the vehicle is running, the door opening and the lock circuit in use. It thinks you are going to lock yourself out of a runing car. Wire terminals 85 & 86 to ignition and negative out when running (diode isolate the negative out when running if using it for anything else) Terminals 87a and 30 are the doorpin pulse wire. One terminal to the lock wire from the remote starter and the other to the dark blue doorpin wire. There may be a slight delay in the doors locking, but it will work.

Thanks

from what I am understanding if i send a ( - ) signal to the dark blue door pin wire that will rearm the alarm ??

the Autostart modle i am using has an extra rearm ( - )signal wire  ..  And as far as not letting the doors lock it would only be running under remote start when the doors were already lock I would hope atleast  but i think you are more talking if it is running and you wish to lock the doors and get out to run into Timmies coffee shop corect me if i am wrong

Thanks Very much Sparkie

you were a great help
