Did you have it installed professionally? Factory anti-theft systems are such a common challenge in remote start installations that I can't imagine any competent shop not being able to bypass one in a Cavalier.

Your vehicle has an anti-theft system called Passlock. Since its entire purpose is to prevent the car from being started without a key, then yes, it has to be bypassed for the remote start to activate. ANY shop that routinely does remote start installations should be able to provide the module and install it correctly.

If you want to get the module yourself, do a search on Ebay for a Directed 456L. If you had a non-professional install the system, I'd think twice before letting him work on the Passlock bypass. Any screwup there could leave you with a car that won't start at all.
