ok guys i have my first colorado in the shop spent about 5 hours puttinan ultra starter in with a plxr bypass from bypass.com
didnt work
so i built the one in ast's wire color page worked until the customer came and we all realized i didnt check for an alarm
now it doesnt work again
the customer said i can keep it till thur.
this is a very hairy system reminds me of the 96-98 cavalier - the starter wire
any body have any tips on this the 05 canyon or the 05 ion they all have the new passlock with no starter wire...can i get a wire at the starter under the hood perhaps to by pass all this crap?
thanks ski

I've done a few of these trucks with the 1250 and plxr and had no problems so far. What is the problem you are having with this setup. As far as I know, plxr is the only bypass that works for these trucks. you do have to cut a wire to make it work and program the bypass. I do remember having a hard time finding tach signal, but overall went pretty smooth for me. Elaborate...

I've done a few colorados, a few equinox, and the new G6. On the colorado and equinox I use a PLXR. No problems either.. No need for tach on some of these new cars since you can't overcrank them. The best advice is to get your bypass programmed, and basically take the remote start out of the equation. Fire up your bypass and hot wire the car doing whatever it needs to startup. In this case it needs the acc and ign to come on, then the acc drops out and the car will crank and start. Once you can hot wire the car and keep it running, double check all your r/s connections and then figure out what the problem is with the r/s that it isn't working. Another tip is that some of these new cars need to see the acc wire turn on BEFORE the ignition wire.

Thanks guys,
I just needed to step away
we did five cars yesterday and that animal was the fifth
Any way it is an easy car to set up
We learned that we have to press the program button a lil longer than the inst sez
thanks

Interesting.... the couple I have done, I just used a couple relays and a resistor (didn't have the PLXR in stock at the time). I have seen a couple other shops have problems with the PLXR in the new GM wee little trucks.
Have to see as the winter wears on.
