Can anybody give me any advice on this? Any diagram? Do I need any device to bypass the car's security system (if any)?
Thanks everyone.

Yes that car needs a GM Vats bypass. For future reference a good source to check what bypass kits are needed for a particular vehicle is https://bypasskit.com.
Input your data at the top of the page in the wizard. If you don't see your year listed then it most likely does not need a bypass.

Here is a detailed wiring diagram if you need it.

Good luck with your install and let us know if you run into any problems. Steve

Here are the instructions for bypassing the GM VATS system. You can buy a bypass kit or just use a relay and a resistor. https://directechs.com/techtips/pdfs/resources/security/directed_techtips/1049.pdf

It actually may or may not have the VATS in it. If the vehicle is equipped with PASSKEY/VATS, the Ignition Key will have a little Chip on the Steel Shaft of the Key that can be seen.
