Step 3 – Finishing the Bypass Installation and Programming
1.
Prior to plugging in the bypass, change the remote start’s programming option #5 to “ADS-
idatalink OFA Series” (instructions for Options Programming are on page 15 of remote start
manual)
2.
Change the remote start’s programming option #1 to “tach”
3.
Install the transponder ring around the ignition switch. Wrap the loop around the ignition
switch 6 times.
4.
Connect the bypass to the remote start using the black 4-pin data cable. Be sure to use the
“OFA” data port on the remote start.
5.
When all the wiring is completed, the bypass and the transponder need to be programmed.
See pages 14 & 15 in the GM3 Install Guide.
Step 4 – Test the System
Once your bypass and transponder programming has been completed, the system should be fully
operational. Here are the tests you should perform prior to closing up the installation:
Test the ‘lock’ and ‘unlock’ functions on the remote controls
Remote start the vehicle by holding the ‘start’ button for 2 seconds
While the vehicle is running on the remote start, press the brake pedal – this should shut the engine
down.
Open your hood and try to remote start the vehicle. If you have a factory hood pin or if you have
installed the aftermarket hood pin, the remote start should NOT work.
Close the hood and remote start the vehicle again. With the vehicle running, press the ‘start’ button on
the remote again. The engine should shut down.
Remote start the vehicle one more time. With the engine running, unlock your doors, get in, put the
key in the ignition and turn it to the ‘on’ position. At this point the vehicle should be able to be driven
and operate normally.
Activating the remote start with your OEM remote
Your remote start system can also be activated using your OEM remote fobs. You will need to make
one more wiring connection in to the vehicle, add a relay (included with your kit) and make one
programming charge to the remote start. If you do this, wait until the rest of the system is wired,
programmed and tested.
