I am going to install an autostart for the first time on my 2004 impala, 3.4 engine. I've never done an install before and I was wondering if anyone had a wiring diagram for the impala that would show me the wires i need to use for this installation. Any tips or tricks would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks Justin

heres a tip... dont eat yellow snow.here is another. the door triggers, locks, brake, factory arm disarm are available at the drivers fuse panel. while you are there you can grab 12v lights at the switch. even though dei says not to use them i have done over 100 of these with no problem. and the trunk nearby at the switch. i think this is easier than bending over to grab the bcm.
