the BLUE/Black input on the 555l, that goes to the Blue/black output on the harness of the autostart. I think it is the 2nd or 3rd wire from the end.

You will need to use a relay to acheive a neg start, as this remote start system does NOT have a neg start. Wire a relay to the starter wire on the remote starter.


Wire post #85 to the Purple Start wire on the starter
Wire post #86 to the Blue/Black wire from the remote starter (GROUND WHEN RUNNING)
Ground #30
Wire post #87 to the Purple - Starter input

Oh yeah, the reason DEI won't help you is exactly why they told you, they are there to help installers from Authorized dealers. IF they give you advice and you burn your car down, then what??

On things like remote starts and alarms, if you don't know how they work. Let a pro install them for ya.

Warranty kicks ass!

Yikes, be careful just tapping into wires without knowing what they are.

Go to the12volt.com and print out a wire color sheet.

(Your passlock wires will be 3 small gauge wires, found together. They are yellow, black and white.
Here is what you do with the wires on the 555L

Black/Yellow - Cut the yellow passlock wire, connect this to the side that is not going up to the steering wheel
Yellow - Goes to the other side (going up to the wheel)
Black/White - Goes to the bulb test light (Thin black wire in ignition plug.)
Black - Goes to the black passlock wire (from the 3 wires)
Blue-Black - 2nd ignition from remote starter brain (green on autostart, in the 6pin harness, just make sure the jumper is in the center)
Violet - Ground out while running from starter brain (white on autostart, in the 10pin harness)
Pink - Ignition from starter brain (yellow, 6pin)
Pink/White - <>
Red - Fused, 12V. I go to red in the 6pin harness.

To learn the unit:
Start the car, let it run for at least 5 seconds.
Turn off the car
Remote start to test. The bypass LED should light or flash for the whole remote start process

Scratch blue/black from that.

I'm 90% sure you don't need to hook it up. It's just for there for old starters that don't have a 2nd ignition relay on board.

Leave it disconnected.

You have to have the BLUE/BLACK hooked up on the 555l, It is the signal that tells the module to turn on.

NOT THE VIOLET WIRE!!! WTF??? 2nd ignition????? Where do you install? Remind me not to go there.

i highly suggest getting rid of the 555L bypass module and getting a pljx. If the 555l ever goes bad the car wont start and you will have to remove the 555l because the passlock runs through it opposed to the pljx where if it does go bad its just piggybacked on and the integrity of the factory wires isnt compromised.

Take it easy, I do primarily iDatalink bypasses, but I was confident when I was writing this.

I was going off of the DEI manual I have, which is riddled with typos. Thanks directed.

Blue/black = ground out while running (confirmed this with a couple other installers)
Violet = n/c

Trust me, they did not make your Cavalier with a different harness than everyone else. You are looking in the wrong spot.

This shows the PASSLOCK 2 wires (YELLOW, BLACK and WHITE) in the DARK GRAY or BLACK Plug at the bottom of the Steering Column.

This is another view of the PASSLOCK 2 wires, the YELLOW (+) or 1 to 6 Volts DC on a Volt/Ohm Meter, BLACK (-) and WHITE (WHITE wire is NOT USED!!. These wires are shown as they exit the IGNITION SWITCH TUMBER, go to a Plug and then change colors before the head under the drivers dash.

yeah i don't have that plug as pictured all i have is the three wires and those wires exit the tumbler and go straight up to the cluster it looks like


Re: Remote Start Help

Oh yeah, you have a 96 Cav with PASSLOCK 1

This picture shows the PASSLOCK 1 wires, the YELLOW (+) or will show 1 to 6 Volts DC on a Volt/Ohm Meter) BLACK (-) and WHITE (WHITE wire is NOT USED!!). These wires are shown as they leave the IGNITION SWITCH TUMBLER under the Steering Column of the vehicle.


This is another view from a different angle that shows the PASSLOCK 1 wires, the YELLOW (+) or will show 1 to 6 Volts DC on a Volt/Ohm Meter) BLACK (-) and WHITE (WHITE wire is NOT USED!!). These wires are shown as they leave the IGNITION SWITCH TUMBLER under the Steering Column of the vehicle.

Re: Remote Start Help

Hook up a Digital Multi Meter to the wires, Find the wire that is 1-6volts, then find the ground. Should be all good.

Also, did you hook up the black/white wire from the 555L to the Bulb Check wire in the ignition harness?? Also the purple neg 12volt starter wire for the 555L:?




Re: Remote Start Help
Tuesday, February 17, 2009 9:11 AM
yes on the bulb check and yes on the negative start i guess i need to get a multi meter

I've got a problem with the 12 volt wiring sometimes, specially with our cars. Depending on your year of car, you may need 3 ignition wires hooked up, plus the accessory, starter, and constant.



Re: Remote Start Help

stupid question but i never used a multi meter how do i know i got the right wire and what setting should it be on
