Default any remote starter gurus out there?

I bought a ProStart remote starter yesterday. I think I can install this without a problem. My question is that I have a base model 2002 Silverado with no power locks, the installation guide says I may need another module because of the Passlock security system. Should I disregard this and will this give me problems on the install?

you will need another module to bypass the passlock system just so the engine will start

Yeah, I could see problems arising from tapping into these wires. I was going to hook up the purple wire to the ECM's red wire #10 according to a website schematic but the wire wasn't red so I didn't want to risk it. It also said you could hook it up to the negative wire on a coil or fuel injector. Not sure which wire this is.

If you don't use a factory system or one thats made for your vehicle its not with the agony of chasing wires. Universal kits suck unless you have a wiring harness kit.
