Passlock II Bypass, 98 Silverado

Hi,

I just purchased two 2 way LCD Alarm/ Remote starts, one for a 2000 Jimmy suv and one for a 98 Silverado pickup. I wasnt aware of the existance of passlock II on this vehicles they seem to old to me to have them. The system I bought does not provide the wire that activates the DEI 555L bypass module which I believe is like some kind of ground signal, not sure though, I cant return the systems and spent almost 400$ on boths.

Question 1;

Can I wrap one of my keys on copper wire and connect it to the passlock wires on my vehicle and this will deactivate the passlock full time and if this is possible has anyone done it before and how can I do this?

Question 2;

Is there anyway in earth I could use the DEI 555L and have it activated by other means other than by the wire that most systems comes with, if this is doable can anyone please draw me a map so that I can follow it and get it done.

Thanks a lot!

The remote start is called Phoenix Digital PD-175, I bought it of E-bay, I checked the manual and I evern email the dealer that sells it and they said theres not a wire that would do this on this starter, I checked for a 3rd ignition wire but nothing. 

Is there a way to permanently ground the bypass module so it would work all the time? I dont mind loosing the passlock II. Thanks!

If you r.s./alarm dosen't have an ignition 3 negative output you will need to use the #1 ignition to trip a relay that is isolated not to trip with the key.

Double check you install manual. I really think any two way remote start alarm system will have a negative ignition 3 output.

The pass-II system can't be bypassed witha wrap of the key or throwing a resistor in.

The Pass-II system sees a resistorized value in the ign 1 postion of the key cylinder then no value at start and then sees the resistor value after start. 

I really think the "00" Bkazer will be a Pass-I not a Pass-II. You may need to identify a "bulb check" wire. I'm kind of suprised the "98" P/U has any starter immobilizer.

The self learning DEI pieces are the way to go. For sure.

I double check and theres no IGN3 on it,

I like the idea of the relay. So how would it work do I just buy an automotive relay 5 pins? then how would I wire it,,, I would assume the trigger pin goes to IGN1 or 2 right,,, and the rest of them where would they go.... could you break it down by pins... thank you 

I checked and it is Passlock II on both the 2000 Jimmy and 98 Silverado,, Im also surprised and frustrated, hopefully you guys will be able to help me make it happen... Thanks a gain!

Thanks for the reply!

it is a remote start, I have install this units a few times already in some friends vehicles, so I know for a fact it does remote start,

I see the 2 relay wiring, so I assume that the ground signals needed to trigger DEI 555L hooks up to the negative ignition 1 output, am I right.... let me know, :) I seriously appreciate this, Im crossing mmy fingers that this will work. :)

okay..i got a problem now....my rs uses ignition 1 wire that is in the rs to determine if my car is running or not (when using the key to start)..therefore when it is running it disables the alarm from doing any of its automatic functions (basicly if that wire is not feeding ign1 from the car...it thinks that the car is not even running)...so i went along and followed your diagram and the passlock bypass powers on fine...but the rs start doesn't know that the car is running (when started with the key)...because the IGN1 wire is not feeding back the signal to the remote start...as it stops at pin 57 on your diagram...how can i get around this? Basicly my alarm still thinks its just sitting idle...and when i close my doors...after 30 seconds it automatically closes them and arms the alarm! i would imagine since ign1 is not feeding the signal back...even if i started with RS it would do the same thing (haven't tried with RS yes cuz my passlock is not configured yet)

Hey eblend, so it worked, the relay set up made the DEI 555L bypass module work? if it does then your problem might be that you need to connect the tach wire which will be strong enough to tell the starter to stop cranking. So whats it doing in your vehicle, what kind of vehicle you have and what are the symptoms.

Ok, I just read it again, so the by pass does work and the vehicle starts with no problem, now when you get in and try to deactivate it it is not understanding that you put the key in and wont come off rs mode, am I right? if it is check your brake pedal wire, most systems when you insert the key into the run position and hit the break pedal it will deactivate the rs, in mine this wont work. I have to actually hit the button on my remote control to shut it off when I hava inserted the key. You might have to do the same.
