Depends on what your trying accomplish. I'm assuming your only getting this for remote start as it is not an alarm. Most newer cars have a computer chip in the key that the engine computer checks in with during start up. Because of this you will need additional parts to bypass that system. If you don't the car will crank but not start. Cheapest way is to get one of these and put a spare key in it, hidden in your car. Universal Immobilizer Bypass for Remote Start There are better ways without using a spare key but cost 50.00 or more.

Yes I would because then you dont have too many recievers going into your vehicle... that could cause faulty receptors not allowing your remote system to function correctly

Most factory remotes are not an alarm. Just lock and unlock, if you manually unlock the door with the key will the horn go off when the door is opened? If you roll down the window and set the alarm, reach inside and open the door will the horn go off? Most don't but even if your does, this Viper 4103XV is not an alarm (only lock/unlock and remote start)! To remove your factory alarm (if it is) would be a downgrade. Just install this and get a Security Key bypass system of your choice that fits your car. When this is installed it will lock/unlock and disable your factory alarm in one shot.

It should wire up to your system if you bought the correct Viper kit for chevy cobalt. We didn't need to buy anything else when putting kit on 2009 Kia Sportage.

No additional parts needed, just as you stated here you just need to have an technician bypass your factory system. So that your new viper system will be compatible with your car's computer !

I am under the understanding that this remote car start will work on almost any vehicle it's like wiring in an alarm system but check with your local radio install shop and see if you need a bypass module I needed one for my 2005 silverado to bypass the factory system I was able to buy it off Amazon also and the installer only charged me $100 bucks to install since I had everything well worth it

Any aftermarket alarm system will work with any vehicle. Just make sure that the person installing it has plenty of experience.

The alarm key fob/remote control that you installed in the vehicle push the unlock button and it will shut it off. now, ig you are arming the alarm with the new key fob/remote and then using your key or orginal remote/to get in car the alarm will keep going off because that is not made to shut the new alarm off. You need to use that new remote only.....

I owned a Lumina years ago. It din't have alarm system. unless yours was install after market. Dont think this remote would work with a after market alarm cause they are pre-progam with GM Computer systems. Most of the remotes (Beepers) have a number on the back. Try typing those numbers on google. Good luck Tim.

I would just order an aftermarket power door lock kit and install it. Your factory latch would have to be replaced also along with adding this actuator and running power to it. If you go aftermarket you'll have a remote on your keys to work with it. You also can get everything from a salvage yard from a factory pl vehicle but you will still have wiring to do no matter which you chose.

well it depends, i dont think you need the relay, but you may need the harness if your car has never had an alarm before. just to note, this works more like a factory alarm, nothing fancy, its just to open/close doors etc. If the alarm is going off, you would get any indication on the remote

yes it will. you will need a bypass Part # PKALL No it is not an alarm just remote start and keyless entry

I know I was able to. I have an LX with no additional alarm system. You pry off the panel to the left of the steering Wheel and unhook the connectors. There's a connector that's small and black and one that's big and white. With the door shut and locked, take an unfolded paper clip and stick one end in port 2 and one in port 10 (the second one in from the top and the last one on the bottom with the clip piece facing upward). If you're not sure just try and if you don't hear the car lock sound flip it over and try again. After you hear the click, press and hold your new (and old) key fob then test them. When you program the new one you have to reassociate the old one or it won't work anymore. It took me days of searching to find this info.

I don't have an aftermarket alarm so not sure. I do know that the fob is programmed by communicating with the vehicle itself so anything that wasn't stock i don't believe would be the same. Wouldn't an aftermarket alarm have its own fob though?

These alarms are made to fit any vehicle, what may be needed may be an interface module for the remote start specific to your vehicle. I recommend you go by a local alarm installer (preferably Viper certified, check their site) and ask everything that will be needed to put this in your car. Be sure to get a total cost out the door.

U have to buy what u need its only what come fir the remote system in the box u have to buy bypass module and relays for doors

The only part needed would be a extra module if you want the window feature to work. If you only want the alarm and auto locks you're good to go. As for the install it's really up to you if you feel and want to spend the time. I just got on Craig's list and got one of them guys that do alarms, radios and tint. He told me it would take 3 hours. It took him about 5. He charged me $80 and looking back it was worth it to me. The alarm is great. I've had no issues and the remote distance is great. I say a good product.

If you have factory security system like chip built in key or any factory security, you will need bypass module for Remote start.

No, you need this plus an actual remote start unit. This unit is the interface to your cars computer system

I am not sure if it will work. The aftermarket security system may have a different transmitter, thus requiring a different remote. My guess, is that the security system installed on your vehicle may have that option to lock/unlock your doors, and open the trunk. Did your security system come with 1/2 remotes, and do they work? What brand is the security system? Please inform and I may be able to find some answers.

I believe vehicles with remote unlock and alarms need specific remote start kits to bypass security measures. Also if you have a "smart key" where the vehicle shuts down if it is started but does not see the RFID chip from the key there may be additional relays you need installed. Find out if the model you are buying can work with your vehicle. I would try the manufacturers web site and search which models will work then find it here.
