I recetly removed my Avantguard 4 from a '99 Old Body Style Chevrolet. I already have the DEI 555L that I used to bypass the Passlock system on that truck.

I now have a 2004 Silverado and have read that I can use the 555L to perform the same duties on this truck. Is this correct?

Also I have read that the 457GW would perform the same function and door locks via the data bus. Can door locks be installed without the 457GW.

The last time I used a module to lock and unlock their appeared to be a slight delay. Do not know if it was the alarm or the module. Mainly do I have to use the 457GW or some equivelant or is their a location to use the standard (-) pulse wires. Does the 457GW perform other functions that are benificial

Finally is their a better solution than the 457GW?

The GMDL-BP is a better solution. It will do Passlock and doorlocks.

There are no (-) trigger wires you can use for the locks. Locks can be done without a module, but it will definately add a few hours and a bunch of relays to the install. I did it once when the 2003 GM trucks first came out and nobody had a module. I would never do it again.

What a royal pain....

So the GMDL-BP is better? Because a few quick searches show it to be more expensive than the DEI solution. I have had great luck with all of my DEI components. I am just trying to save a buck, but also don't have a bunch of relays laying around like I used to.

Any other input from people with experiance would be appreciated. As it stands now I have a module to order. posted_image

We discussed the GM-DLBP versus the 457G on the carsound.com security forums a while back..... you could do a search there..... the 457G came 5 years late to market, and still has design flaws anyway.

But, both of those pieces are made to perform doorlocks AND Passlock bypass, which is whey they're a little expensive.

If you can find the now-discontinued DEI 456G, it'll do locks only (re-use your 555L for Passlock), probably cost a little less, and it has no flaws.

You can use the MULTI-DL as well if you only want door lock functions while retaining the 555L module. The MULTI-DL is manufactuRED / distributed by Trilogix & is a discontinued model but is now sold cheap if anyone has them in stock
