Power Lock white - black plug in dkp
Notes: Lock requires a negative trigger, and unlock requires a negative trigger through a 1,500 ohm resistor. Must use relays. Must close doors to lock with a single pulse.
Power Unlock same wire

Door Trigger -
Notes: The lt. GREEN/ black is located in the drivers kick and catches only the drivers door. The lt. blue is located in the harness coming from the drivers running board going under the drivers seat and it catches all other doors. Use both door trigger wires and diode isolate each. On the 2 door the lt.blue is in the passenger kick.

As you can see the 457 will work for bypassing the passlock, but will not do the door locks on your vehicle. You can grab the install manual
here.
Either have to use relays and resistors or a resistance learning lock module if you want
For door locks you can pick up a DEI 451M it comes with the required resistors and plugs right in to the door lock port on your 561R. You can find these on the web for less than $10.
or a 456L if you dont want to mess around with relays and resistors....

Yes, you need it to bypass the PK3 for it to remote start. You will only connect 4 wires on the 457G, black, red, blue and purple(no others!)

where does the blue wire hook up to?
The blue from the 457 hooks to the blue status output of the 561R to let the bypass know the remote start is being activated.

Installer, IT support, and FFL. I need less hobbies.
the 457gw will do the anti theft bypass and the doorlocks if the vehicle has factory keyless entry ( or so the install manual says) but if you hook it up and the remote start works and the keyless doesn't, you will have to use resistors to the white wire in the kick, the 456 will NOT work if the 457 doesn't. I usually use the 500 ohm resistor and two diodes and no relays on this car and have had no problems, but then I use Ultrastart

My rifle is my friend...
The blue wire of the bypass gets connected to the ground out when remote started.
