Someone explain to me why the toggle switch is just a bad idea. If it is, why does GM recommend it to do when installing remote starters.
To do the toggle switch:
Cut yellow wire while car is running
Shut car off
Solder in switch with the switch in the OFF position
Start car, security light should be on
Put switch in ON position, security light should go off (provided passlock is working at the time)
Put switch back to OFF, light should come back on
Everyone is saying that if the battery goes dead and the passlock system fails (whether through BCM or ignition or whatever), then the car will not start no matter what position the switch is in. Well if the passlock system fails completely if you dont have the switch, it wont start anyways.
