Here is the info from Bulldog Security : https://www.bulldogsecurity.com/diagrams/printpage.asp?ModelID=20392&MakeID=20

DEI also lists this vehicle at : https://www.readyremote.com/main.asp?make=GMC&model=Savana

I have just installed a alarm/remote start on a 2011 GMC Savana and the security works fine and one thing I can't figure out is where the starter wire output hooks up for remote start, or is the start process done thru data If so does that include starter kill? remote start unit is a OMEGA Excalibur -al-2030-edpb.

Which bypass module did you use?

Blade AL omega. If it does handle remote start will it also do starter kill.

No. The Blade AL flashed with Blade ALDL-GM3 will handle a lot more than just the bypass. Did you get the ADS RNG GM3 also?

The van has built in anti-grind but an actual "starter kill" circuit is not a function of the bypass module ( Blade ). That would have to be wired up manually and being as the vehicle does not have a typical "Starter" wire at the ignition switch, somewhat more complicated.

Here is some info from DEI on the Starter wire for a "Starter Kill" circuit :

Starter Purple (for starter kill only) (+) Starter or underhood fuse box, Light Gray 56 pin plug, pin E1

I did order ADS RNG GM3 I will be installing the part as soon as it comes in. This ignition seems a bit more secure from thieves than i thought maybe I will skip starter kill. So technically someone would have to open hood to get at starter wires to start van. Do you know if module kills fuel pump when armed?

Using the ADS RNG GM3 will prevent any dead battery issues. Did the dealer flash the Blade-Al
with the correct ( GM3 ) firmware for you?

Many installers don't bother with Starter Kill any more. An alarm system plus the ignition
immobilizer system is usually enough. The Blade does not kill the fuel pump while the Omega
is armed. ( Cutting fuel pump power can be a liability issue.)

Just follow the Type 2 Blade install instructions from the #7346 install guide.

I flashed the Blade-Al with loader and and installed the alarm. Everything works fine on security side. I am just waiting for ADS RNG GM3 since it was backordered.So I will test remote start when part comes in. I appreciate all the help you have given me to understand the remote start portion of this install. It has helped me greatly.
