that is exactly what the security bypass module would do...except much cheaper

Ummm no, resistor = 10 cents, bypass module $50. Resistor much much cheaper. All the bypass module is is basically a resistor in a box, it's highway robbery.

as for using the whole wiring harness that would mean that u have to use the pcm as well and if u need the use the pcm from a vette/caddy/whatever then u would have to reprogram the pcm because the engine/tranny/pretty much everything is different and the pcm will still treat it as a vetter/caddy/whatever

Gotcha, my mistake kweef. I would love to figure out how to wire in a push button starter. Although even with the security bypass I think you still need to have the key.

RE: How to bypass ignition switch security?
well with the DEI security bypass that i used you could actually drive the car without the key in it, u just didnt hook up the brake switch safety wire, the only thing that stops you from being able to drive is the fact that you cant put it in gear because when u hit the break it sends a signal to the security bypass...i think using the resisters would work better than the bypass module because you could actually use push buttons without rigging the remote of the remote start...the problems with using the resistors are that u have no security if the car is broken into, they push the switch, the car starts and they are gone and u have to would have to rig in a signal wire so taht when the car starts it kicks the starter off so ur starter does not grind, now u could rig a wire to the tach but u wouls have to somehow rig it so that it would shut of the switch(cycling circuit breaker maybe)...it would take a lot of wiring but if u need a visual let me know and ill draw one up

I bypassed mine by measuring the resistance between the 2 wires and then soldering in a resistor. This tricks it into always seeing the correct resistance and therefore bypasses the security check. I have a guide and pictures if your interested in doing it yourself. Takes a couple hours, a multimeter, soldering iron, resistors and thats it.

vatts 2 systems
if you have the cylinder still in the car and ablt to hook up wires..... take the vin # to chevy and for about 20 bucks they will call chicago n get toe key and vats code for u. i think that would be the easiest way. dave

I have a 2003 Monte Carlo SS. I have had the security light cime on when I am driving at divverent times, and at times it will not start, but then waiting or pressing the keyless entry lock and unlock buttons it would start. I am visiting parents in Tn. and I can not get it started at all I have taken all and any fuses out and cleaned them and put them back in, still wont start.I am trying the ten miniute wait but the security light is still flashing. If I can get it started one more time to get home in Ga, I have a truck to drive. I would like the instructions you have and pictures I need to be back for work Tuesday.
