Keyless Entry Remote Start and PKE
Seems like there are a lot of threads on here but no definitive answers. I am looking to install a Compustar CM 6200 remote start/keyless entry on a 1987 Corvette... Here is the catch: I would like to retain the function of the VATS SYSTEM.
In addition I would like to know what you guys are using for a bypass for the key chip as on cheaper cars I just used a resistor; on this one I would prefer to use an actual bypass.

I had a Viper alarm put in my car with key-less entry but would never install a remote start. While I was having my alarm installed, 3 people came in with the problem of thier remote start not working and not being able to start thier car, screw that, I can turn the key and it's not like I need my Vette to go to work on a frigid morning. I hear the horror stories all the time of the remote start crapping out and leaving people stranded, especially with the heat of our cars, I'd stay away from that.
