Uhh, from what I've heard, they're a real pain to do... Especially if you don't have any experience with a multimeter. There's a LOT of wiring, and I think PassLock requires a bypass. But, if you still feel like you can tackle it, here's the wiring diagram:

| STARTER|purple or yellow |+ |ignition harness |

Notes:
NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with the pass-key III immobilizer. Use DEI part number 555G or 555U to bypass. *1 This is a low current 12V source that should not be used to drive any high current positive circuits. *2 The drivers door module is located above the speaker in the drivers door. *3 The passengers door module is located above the speaker in the passenger door. *4 The DIM module is located just in front of the blower motor near the passenger kick. It has three connectors that all exit out of the bottom of the module. *5 The drivers door trigger wire is tan at the drivers door module, and the other door triggers are dk. blue at there respective door modules. *6 The RIM module is located behind the rear seat in the upper corner on the driver side. *7 The cruise control module is located under the hood at the top center of the firewall. *8 The sunroof motor is located to the rear of the sunroof towards the top center of the rear window. *9 Power varies with the interior light volume.

I suggest you do not try this yourself if you do not have experience with electronics and wiring. I have done alarms, remote starts, and combo kits and they can be difficult at times. I suggest professional installation because you will have a warranty and also you can have support if anything needs worked on or goes wrong. Choose your installer wisely.

For how cheap it is, I'd be concerned if that unit will even work with the PASS-KEY. My AutoStart unit required an extra $100 unit to make it work with the PASS-KEY.

Yes they do require an extra module for passkey but you can get them online much cheaper than at an installer.
