Something about taping your key in the steering column just doesn't sit right with me. A theft is going to tear into that steering column and see that key sitting there and then he's going to think to himself "Jackpot". I bought a 20.00 bypass to out on my remote start/Alarm system, so my Pass-Key III still works and there is no hidden key in my steering column.
I just started to install mine on a 2001 Grand Prix GTP and the only trouble i'm having is trying to find a rearm wire for the factory alarm system. I have looked at more pages of wiring diagrams then all the Harry Potter books combined, and none of them have a rearm wire labeled. I went to my local GM Dealer and all they could say is "Geeee, I don't Know"But what did I expect coming from a small redneck town. I can't even figure out the doors and windows, and it's already took a huge dump of snow on us. So i'm waiting till it warms up before finishing the rest but at least my alarm/remote start work and I can start my car from a mile a way which came in handy yesterday when I had to go to super wal-mart in a blizzard, I started my car all the way from the back of the store that's convenience!
Here's the wiring diagram for a 2001 grand prix
