Hello,

I am back, with a project I am interested in completing on an 87 Corvette with an Automatic. My dad just bought another C4 and this one is in really nice shape. He is looking to use it as his daily driver and has been taking more and more about a Keyless entry/Remote Start. With fathers day coming up and a lack of competent shops around I decided that I would buy a system and we could install it together.

I had an 89 C4 with a 6 speed a few years ago and successfully installed a VKE1000. I am looking to use a more updated system what also incorporates a remote start into the equation. The catch or rather what I am worried about is retaining the function (and surprisingly it is working) of the VATS system. I have done a 4-5 Compustar remote start/keyless entry systems in various cars. I am comfortable with that system, however their tech support sucks and I am open to trying something new. My biggest fear as I said is messing with the VATS system.

Recommendations?

this should get you started: http://www.joestradingpost.com/vats/index.html

welcome back!

I'm sure with a vats eliminator that wouldn't be a problem. No experience with it, though.

After a little bit of research I decided to go with the Viper 4104 1-way remote start key less entry.

Is there anything else I will need to get this system functioning properly? Specifically which bypass module should I purchase to bypass the chipped key?

Do you mean brand or resistance?

You measure the resistance from the pellet in the key. I know you are handy, so you can make your own bypass for a couple dollars vs buying one from ecklers, etc.

Look here for an example:

I can definitely make one out of a resistor and a pop sickle stick, but I was looking to do a cleaner install on this car.

Ok, well this is $30:

Your right.... I can make one just as good.
