Installing aftermarket Remote Keyless Entry
Hi guys! It's me again. (This guy: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/prob...program-59029/ )
So after hearing multiple times "It just won't program", I am taking matters into my own hands and installing an aftermarket RKE.
Now, I've got the wiring of the unit figured out. I need to find out what wires I need to hook into to simulate a press of the switch on the driver side door. From the wiring diagram I *think* I need to connect the lock to the white coming out of the door wiring harness and the unlock to the black/white.
Anyone have an idea?
Here's the wiring diagram for the door.

Did you buy a RKE kit, there are many out there; Bulldog comes to mind. They come with direction.
When I installed one all I had to do was splice into one wire at the BCM and insert a resistor in another wire.
This site has directions posted on it.

It is not as simple as pretending to push the button.

And it turned out, after I got the dealership to admit they were just stupid and they programmed the RCDLR, it worked along side.
It's a 1.5K resistor in the wire on pin#7 on the BCM X1 connector Wht/blk.
Here is more from Buldog:

It seems more likely that you want the wires that go to the latches(or maybe the relays?), not the switches. But I have to admit, this system is difficult to understand.

It only looks complicated; it is only 1 wire: G to 1500Ohms is unlock and over 1500 ohm is lock on the ground wire.
Once again we are getting confused between distribution diagrams and wiring schematics.
I think 2006 is actually a wht wire. Note the resistor in the switch.
So you splice the lock wire from your control unit directly into the white wire and the unlock from the control unit to a 1.5K resistor to the same point.
No need to go into the door panel, the wires are right there at the BCM connector X1. Lots of room to hide the control unit.
IIRC in this bundle

Doesn't seem right. My diagram in Haynes is a little different, but one thing that is the same, is that blk/wht is always grounded. So if you want that wire grounded, then you could hook to the blk/wht.
