Hi All,

Installing a remote start in my dads 2016 GMC savana

Using a DBALL2 for the bypass and its diagram calls for a diode.

The whole diagram is easy to understand and I have installed before. However I dont know what diode to get for this.

Help :)

A one amp switching/rectifying diode will work fine. I used to buy them in a 25-pack at Radio Shack.

cant find any wire diagrams. I understand where everything is but would like to proactively know how to get at the bcm and ignition switch before i go up to my dads to do this.

Anyone know a site?

When I did my cars I used a driect techs site for pics but I cant seem to access this now.

hey on the dball2 diagram on the rs the ignition in/out it shows. that is not the ignition from the ignition harness or is it?



I ask because im pretty sure its not an ignition in and out, there is also an ignition on the satellite harness.

Ive figured it all out except this.

They both connect to the same wire in the ignition harness. The input just senses when the ignition wire is powered. It does not power anything, hence the diode.

ok so from the avital im taking the heavy gauge ignition to the diode? i know the wire from the dball and from the RS are going to the same pin Im just making sure im picking the correct wire on the rs side.


Im just making sure since Ive never seen it called ignition in/out


Also Im assuming cathode end to avital right?

Thanks for all your help.

the ignition on avital 4103 is ouput only no input so maybe dont hook up??

OUTPUT TO PRIMARY IGNITION CIRCUIT

Hook it up anyway?
