bhirst Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 That is how alarms work. Basically alarms tap into factory wires to monitor, manipulate, or use.

Amart88 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I got a different alarm installed in mine and they actually had to run 2 relays and a data interface bypass module. because of the factory security system with the computer. Costed a bit more to get put in. Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhirst Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 You need to use a bypass module for remote starts. If you run just an alarm you won't need a bypass module because the factory security system will not need to be bypassed to start the vehicle. On some vehicles and bypass modules the bypass can communicate with the vehicle to monitor and control multiple options creating a faster install. As for the door locks some lock systems requir different outputs which is why they sometimes need to run extra relays.

bhirst Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 You can do remote starts on a manual.
