I just bought a remote starter/ push button start system for my 2003 C5 . I am looking for the wiring color codes i need to tie into also... not much luck yet. I did find out how to bypass the VATS ... will post anything else I find.
""if you have the type of key that has the resistor pelet on the key you can check the resistance simply by measuring the resistance with a multimeter by connecting a lead to each side of the black pellet where the metal point is in the middle of the pellet.
1 402 ohms (acceptable range 386-438)
2 523 ohms (acceptable range 502-564)
3 681 ohms (acceptable range 650-728)
4 887 ohms (acceptable range 850-942)
5 1130 ohms (acceptable range 1085-1195)
6 1470 ohms (acceptable range 1411-1549)
7 1870 ohms (acceptable range 1795-1965)
8 2370 ohms (acceptable range 2275-2485)
9 3010 ohms (acceptable range 2890-3150)
10 3740 ohms (acceptable range 3590-3910)
11 4750 ohms (acceptable range 4560-4960)
12 6040 ohms (acceptable range 5798-6302)
13 7500 ohms (acceptable range 7200-7820)
14 9530 ohms (acceptable range 9149-9931)
15 11800 ohms (acceptable range 11328-12292)
(resistor value must be within 5% +/- )
So i take you place a resistor in line.. one location if your removing the key cylinder as i am doing would be the vats key pickup wire going to the front of key cylinder, which fell off anyway in my case.
