for this install on our Cobalts we need a bypass module. There are many available but the one i went with is a unit from xpresskits.com. you can buy them used off of amazon for 50$, and you have to have one. The modal i went with is the XK09 and you need to do a firmware update before its installed or it wont work. you kit may come with the wire to connect it to your computer or you may have to get it seperate, its 25$ for the XKInstaller.

Bypass: http://www.xpresskit.com/product.aspx?productid=447

Firmware: you need the DLGM5X http://www.xpresskit.com/Firmwares.aspx?productid=447

Program to install it : http://www.xpresskit.com/XpressVIP.aspx

Something else-- I bought my Viper 5701 from on online retailler for 99.98 US$
-It is a remanufactured product from VIPER and comes with their warranty.

Have Fun

 

Good write up man, thanks!

 

Those pictures aren't really going to help much since it's not a Cobalt. For your bypass the XK09 is an alright module, however I would recommend using either the DLPK or the FL-CAN since they do pk3 bypass as well as provide door locks,triggers,trunk pop,etc. Not really necessary but it does speed up the install as well as clean it up a bit. I advise being careful doing remote starts/alarms, it's not as easy as everyone thinks it is. I know plenty of installers that won't do them just because they hate them, and it took me about 6 months to learn how to do them and make them nice and clean. Just my .02.

 

good catch...those pics are of a malibu, but everything is wired just about the same way, give or take a few differences. these pics are to just give someone an idea of what the install would consist of/what they need to tear apart.

The DLPK is the firmware that comes standard with the XK09. This firmware will not cooperate with the 05-06 Chevrolet Cobalts, but will for the later years. I found this out by contacting XPressKits directly. The XK09 does everything that you stated the other models do, you just need to update the firmware on the module like I did.

Installing a rs/ss on a Cobalt wont be all that bad if you follow the directions that were provided. The part that confuses most people is seperating and splicing the ignition wire so that the viper system can get the signal it needs. It actually ends up being easier than doing it on an ignition that doesnt just send a signal to the BCM to start the vehicle; like our Cobalts/Malibu's do.

Making things look nice and clean isnt all that difficult either. It doesnt take an engineer to figure out how to hide wires behind plastic and ziptie things so they wont come loose; anyone who's installed an amplifier in their car knows that. And to make sure you are splicing the right wires to another the Haynes Manual contains all of the wiring diagrams that an install of a security system or a remote starter system would require.

If you installed your 5701 yourself, or helped in the process, care to share any information? Forums are for sharing ideas and helping eachother (the community) out, not just to critisize or flame on others' interests or projects at hand.

 

In no way was I flaming you or whatever you decide to do. I was simply stating what I've learned over my years of installing. There are several members that have contacted me about this stuff and I have helped them out. I had an opinion so I shared it, I didn't say wow you are a complete moron and are going to botch it because you can't walk and chew gum at the same time. I just wanted to inform some other members is all.

 

You took my post way to personal. It was in no way intended to aggravate you. I apologize if it did.

If you willing to help me out with any information it would be appreciated, if not, then it is what it is.

 

Nah dude you're fine, I just wanted to clarify. I wasn't trying to step on your toes either. If you need any help just let me know and I'll do whatever I can

 

k cool..i guess the only thing i'm lookin to have questions with is the wiring together of the bypass to the brain of the Viper. here is a picture of the manual that says how to connect the module to the brain



the question is about the "option B" and "option A" wiring..since i have specified firmware on the XK09 i will be doing the D2D connection correct? and with that do i need to also connect the blue/red grey and green wires or will the D2D connection take care of that? i'm assuming i will need to do both and i am just gettin confused with the whole option deal....

 

Well unfortunately you have the wrong firmware unless you aren't doing remote start which you never really said if you were or not. All that firmware does is integrate with the locks and triggers, no pk3 bypass. The DLPKGM firmware does everything, however it only works from 07+. The firmware you need is the PLXR, which will take care of your pk3 and you just have to go wire to wire from the brain to the car for everything else, which is no big deal since it's all availble at the BCM.

 

its not a problem at all actually i have the kit to change the firmware...

here is what the plxr does http://www.xpresskit.com/Compatibili...irmwareid=1274

and here is what the GM5x does http://www.xpresskit.com/Compatibili...irmwareid=1622

an email from the company said i needed the 5X for my 2005... does that change it a little?

actually....is the immobilizer bypass the thing i really only need? does the plxr also disable the factory alarm?..i do intend to add the remote start...which is why i needed the tach input thats on the 5X.....at least thats what i thought... TIA

 

great find and to correct someone its an hhr not a malibu that they are using in the pictures

 

Great to know everyone is so technichal here...no hard feelings meant, its honestly a good thing.

 

I get it now..in the directions on top it even says you need the PLXR firmware..they were wrong but probably didnt realize i was installing the r/s even though i told them it was the 5701. I just need to bypass the passlock key system. Here is the picture for the wiring diagram that I will use. since i updated the firmware of my Xk09 to the PLXR v.3.03, I wont need to connect anything to the Brain of the 5701. Let me know if this is all correct..



image is not mine, used from Xpresskit.com

 

The only things you need to hook up from that bypass is the d2d cable which gives the module power and ground, the blue/white status wire, and the violet starter wire. Everything else goes to the 6 pin plug as shown. Then like I said before you obviously have all the connections from the brain that you must hook up to the wires of the vehicle. Hope this helps a little.

 

yes this helps a lot....thank you very much man..ill be digging into the car in a few weeks...i odnt think i have too many unanswered questions at the moment.

 

Good deal, let me know if you need anything else.

 

thought of something at work today.... the tach wire connection... just connect it to an injector.....any details on that?

 

Correct, if you look at your injectors you will have one common color across all four, and then a different color in each. You want to use the off color wire and not the common one for your tach connection, use any of the injectors just make sure it's one of those wires.

 

neutral saftey switch, clutch bypass?

 

What about nss/clutch bypass?

 

what wires are those?

 

The tach wire is not needed.The car stops cranking on its own once its started.

 

The tach wire is also used for the remote starter to stop powering any wires in the ignition harness if the car failed to start, actually, i dont think the tach wire is even used to stop the car from cranking, because, if it is taking readings from the injectors, then soon as the engined turned at all it would be getting the fuel injectors readings

 

The new Vipers REQUIRE a tach wire for manual mode. No way around it.

Neutral safety goes to the handbrake.

As far as a clutch bypass, you need another relay. You have to use the really short remote start relay harness (the one with all of the RS negative outputs) to jump the clutch wires.

85 to +12v
86 to remote start harness: starter (-) output
30 to one wire of the clutch (tap)
87 to the other wire of the clutch (tap)
87a not used

As far as the XK module, I don't recommend D2D. To this day it is very unstable, and I have had problems with various cars. W2W is 100% and much easier to troubleshoot.

Good luck man...gimme a shout if you have any questions.

 

so their is no way to stop the remote starter from starting a car in gear?
