You're going to need a wiring diagram for your truck. You'll need to find the ECM transponder transmit and receive wires. Wire it in according to the instructions then plug in the harness and program. You will have to remove the old bypass first.
 






I already have taken out the old stuff. It was just a relay that had some coils of wire going to it that was wrapped around the key and the keyhole.

And as for the ECM tx and rx wires I already have them located.
 






Then the hard part is done. Connect all the wires as per the instructions, plug in the harness and program the unit. I believe the blue /white wire goes to the white/blue wire from the remote start. That should be the same wire the old bypass was wired to.
 






Ok so blue/white and red go where the old relay was. Black is just ground some where. What about the pink wire.
 






Red goes to any 12vdc that is hot all the time. Pink goes to an ignition wire, the same place as the pink wire on the remote start module. You can find that wire and splice into it. If you look at the diagram of your remote start at the top is a harness labeled "Auxillary Harness Connector". That's where you'll find the white/blue wire. At the bottom there is a harness labeled "Main Power & Output Connector". That's where the pink wire is.
 






If i get a bypass the needs to use the 1 key i have will a non chip key work. My thought is if the remote start, starts my X when i use a non chip key to release the streeing lock it should work eh?
 






No the key in the bypass has to be a chip key. The bypass is reading the key as if it were in the ignition. However if you already have 2 programmed keys all you need to do is get a new chip key cut, not programmed. the programming is the expensive part. You can program the key yourself if you have 2 keys already. Actually the only reason that it has to be cut is that you have to put it in the ignition and turn it to program it. Once it is programmed you can cut off part of the key to render it un-useable. You'll need your regular chipped ignition key after you remote start the truck because as soon as you touch the brake the remote start releases.
