I'm trying to bypass the passkey II on my van. I have a module from
AutoStart made for the pursose of doing so, but sometimes it works and
sometimes it doesn't. Any tips?

Most Passkey bypasses systems use a variable resistor to simulate the
resistor built into the ignition cylinder. If your module required you to
adjust it to match the OEM value, you may be CLOSE, but not right on the
resistance. When the value isn't the 'same', in-car temperature can affect
the reliability of the bypass...

Where do you have the bypass grounded? It is best to ground it on th
passlock ground of the vehical(either a black wire or an orange wit
black stripe). I use DEI for remote start, so I don't know about th
part you have. Does it code itself automatically, or do you need t
set the resistance yourself? If you set it, are you sure you ar
within 5%

I have to set the unit manually and unfortunatly I'm limited to the value i
can set. I'll have to check tho to see if i'm within the 5% range. I may
have to see if there are other units availiable. Does DEI make a bypass?
As for grounding I've got it grounded to the metal under the steering
column. I will try your advice.
Thanks!
