None.
You either need to have a new key cut and programmed, (recommended)
OR,
wire the 556uw to a constant ground, ground the status wire, and put the constant 12v to ignition, have a new plain non coded steel key cut at home depot and put the coded key in the 556. (NOT recommended)
This will make the vehicle think that your using the original key any time you start it with the plain non coded steel key and also serve as they bypass for the remote start. AGAIN, NOT recommended, but will save 60-100 bucks for the second key.

Bulldog wiring says
Tach @ any fuEl injector not purple
An injector has 2 wires, usually one wire on every injector is the same color. So in this car look for the wire thats not purple. Very the wire with DMM, should show voltage between 1-6v.

First set the DMM to 20volts AC.
Second any of the uncommon colour injector wires will do.
Third, don't crimp, solder your connections.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

the I-Datalink ALCA can do that vehicle with one key but you will have to have access to their USB flashing cable and access to a Klon account (dealers and installer only).
