Hello,

Wondering about the door locks on a 98 cadilac catera? What type of system are they? Are any relays needed for this or can I just tap into the factory unlock/lock wires with the alarm?

Thanks,

Almost forgot about adding a remote start. Is there anything that has to be bypassed? I did not see anything on the wiring info.

Thanks,

The Caddy has a Immobilizer system. There is no module that is keyless for this vehicle. You will need to use the TBKII or TBKIII key required bypass module for remote start bypass.
