The easiest way to bypass the (VATS) Vehicle Anti Theft System on a GM/Pontiac.

Don't want to spend tons of money at the dealership for a chip in your key after replacing the faulty ignition switch? Try This! For 90's GM and Pontiac.

[@bfnfedboy2]

I did this to a 96 monte carlo many years ago. Worked like a champ.

Show us the video when the key is inside of the car are you using one original key and then a blank key are you using the original key and tire rapid under the dashboard once you plug it in and did you change the ignition switch on the steering column to read another key that don't have a chip...

[@mathewdavenport593]

Thank you. Genius.

[@86-Manifest]

I've been having a toothache I need to get a job and I'm having this problem with my vehicle how do you get the blank key to turn on the car and i still have the original key

[@hectorsanabria7092]

previous owner cut the purple and white wire with the adapter instead of the orange cable, is there a fix i can do to that?

[@Ciana_Baby]

Can I replace the orange cord? Mine fell apart and now car won’t crank.

[@kennypeavler]

I have a 1993 Buick Riviera an have all ready spent around 400 dli trying to get the car started I bought the vata buy pass system and can't get car to start help

[@blaakrose]

I have a 2004 buick century. I replaced the key cylinder. With the blank key it won't start. Watching another youtube video, he said to turn on key for 10 minutes, turn off key for 10 seconds. Do this 3 times for 30 minutes. I did this and now my car starts. It works. I used a timer for each 10 minutes. I was looking for the cable to put a resistor on. The one from my buick is brown. It looks just like the orange cable in the video. I ordered a kit of resistors from Amazon. My key has a resistance of 6000 ohms. I am going to use the old wires and connector from the replaced key cylinder. Volt meter, solder, heat shrink and correct resistance and the security light should go off.

Can you use a hp tuner and bypass

[@runerider69]

what if the key is lost ????

[@noxiousgamming1070]

I recently bought a 96 Camaro doing ls swap didn’t come with key at all what should I do for a key and how do I bypass the security system

[@ChefofWar33]

Best bet is a standlone harness if doing an LS swap. Gonna make everything else just easier anyway.

[@jaredgrant6707]

I cut the orange wire and touched the ends to the resistor in my chip .and after that it never gave me a issue again . And I just leave the wires separated. Yes my light stays on but it's not flashing anymore . I did it 2 days ago . Spent zero

[@SaviBoyzProductionz]

What did you exactly do ? Once you touched the wires did you leave the key down there? Do you have to do it every time ?

[@worldsgonemad4600]

The actual easiest way to to this is cut the wire between the ecm and relay, and use a ground source. The stupid thing uses a transistor in the ecm to supply the relay with ground if the security module accepts the chip. Yeah its considered African engineering(old name no longer politically correct) but in my opinion so is the vats system.

[@TyRC12]

Does this work on 1995 monte carlo with theft deterrent relay? I believe I would cut it right after the neutral position switch and before the theft deterrent relay? Thanks for your comments to help others. For some odd reason my starter blew apart. The key is stuck in the on position. It starts and dies right away. Not getting fuel because of the passlock system. Smh thank you for any info. Appreciate people like you.

[@1980sSinaloense]

So question if i do the second method and tape the old cylinder with the key on the “on” position.. for the NEW key Cylinder could i use a regular key cylinder from like a 87 camaro without the orange orange wire ?!

[@tjdoozer9387]

Just in case you didn't find an answer to this, or if anyone else has the same question: Your 87 Camaro lock cylinder "may" work. I tried the same thing with another late 80's GM lock and it could start the car. The only thing that didn't work was the "accessory" position. I think these VATS cylinders are a little longer. The deeper hole doesn't allow a non-VATS cylinder to compress so you can turn it backward. So, if you don't care about the "ACC" position, you should be good to go.

[@1980sSinaloense]

@@tjdoozer9387 oh hell yeah man thank you!

[@saulylozano2414]

will work for Camaro 2000 thank

[@kitchnerlesley]

Best thing to do is leave the old ignition and take a tip cleaner file and file off the corrosion in the ignition and on the key

[@niner4life79]

What did you do to the wires in the old cylinder that stays under the dash ?? I see you have black tape on it

[@TitaniummanGarage]

I plugged them in to where they go to bypass. Then wrapped electrical tape around them so they wouldn't unplug

[@niner4life79]

I'm confused lol.. you have them tapped up.. sorry I'm a little slow

[@-Tyreal_Awesome-112-]

Thank you

Was the key turned to the on position?

Probably not

My gm vats on the key stopped working could you just by a key with the same resistance and it’ll work again?

[@TitaniummanGarage]

Yes

[@sirjustus3770]

@@TitaniummanGarage I have 1995 Grand Am, I have the keys that came with it but have no black pellet resister on them. One key has a black rubber cover with GM in it, the other key has no GM cover on key. Both keys have no visible black pellet on the key. The key with no GM cover has 1/8” hole in the key. Does 1996 key supposed to have black pellet resister on the key? The keys start the car but still have anti-theft problems in not starting the car at times. Sometimes I have to let the car sit for days for it to work again. I do not know if this was bypassed by the previous owner or even replaced the original cylinder. My cylinder doesn’t have the black prongs on each side of where the key goes into. In other words, doesn’t look like your cylinder. I’m just looking for the best way to solve the issue.

[@garyhall6294]

After bypass, is the security light still supposed to be on?

[@TitaniummanGarage]

It should go off as long as key is turned to run position. The key you used to bypass. Try disconnecting battery to reset it.

[@thatfishingdude9356]

Sometimes the security light will turn on intermittently..

[@ibinsliden8728]

Will this work on a 98 Chevy lumina

[@TitaniummanGarage]

If it's the same system.

[@alishacheeney7831]

What is the key pellet?

[@scottwinn4302]

It is the little black resistor in the key.

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

Why not just solder the key pellet between the wires? It’s the contacts in the key tumbler that get worn out.

[@alishacheeney7831]

What is the pellet?

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

@@alishacheeney7831 the pellet is the plastic insert that is the resistor that comes in contact with the key tumbler and sends the voltage back to the ECM to disable the anti theft system.

[@norris.7670]

😊

[@jamaljamal6169]

That's not the quick or easiest way, it actually involves another step, buying another key cylinder. Plus it took your forever to get to the useless tip.

[@TitaniummanGarage]

What I ment by easy is most guys were soldering resistors in to bypass it. You needed to find the correct ohms for the chip with a meter and solder the correct resistors in place. My way is much less complicated than that. Plug and play! Or you can just go to a dealer pay the outrageous price for a chip.

[@glidekip]

Simple? If you have the original key.. Your not bypassing the system you are appeasing it most people who are replacing their lock cylinder lost their original key so they can't tape it up underneath the dash.
