Hi there,
I've done the mod three times so far, always using the UPL coded modules, which work. The other codes I list in the article are described as I researched them to the best of my knowledge.
Isolate means putting something like tape around the conductive (metal) parts. But if you don't know that, you should really get someone to help you with this upgrade.
The trunk release button will work just like it did before, you won't lose any functionality! On the contrary, you'll be able to unlock the trunk using a remote key fob.
One final note: please don't use the old copy of my article that was copied into another thread, because I keep improving the article constantly each time I do the upgrade or get additional information. Please use the up to date version on my website!

Ha ha, I'm not THAT much of a dummy. lol. I assumed that is what was meant by isolate, but the phrase was used so much, and isolating it from other wires and metal seems so obvious, I thought maybe in this context it meant something more.
I'm using the article straight from your website, please don't take all that useful information down. On that note, I'm looking forward to more information on swapping the ignition cylinder to the VATS system.
Where did you get a hold of the F-body factory service manual? From your instructions it looks like I will need one and I've seen the CD's on ebay, is that good enough?

I just emphasized the Isolation bits around the fuse box because it's obviously very important. I was just trying to be thorough... ;-)
If you run into a question, don't hesitate to email me (I rarely check PM's) And don't worry, I won't take the info down...
The Vats ignition lock - well, the 89 Camaro column supposedly had the VATS lock cylinder but no airbag yet, so the lock housing should interchange with the Fiero column... I haven't found a proper column in a yard yet though...
And if everything works, I'd appreciate a + ;-)
Oh, and the CD from eBay should be fine if it contains all schematics.

RWDPLZ or Yellow88GT, Have you tried this yet or anyone else? Might try the yard tomorrow and see if they have one of these since my dash is already out.

Where did you find the shock sensor and on what type/year of vehicle? I am assuming that the Firebirds and Cameros would keep them in the same place.
If I get enough info, I will make a run tommorow to the yard.
Thanks, Steve

It was a 98 Camaro. The shock sensor was laying on the ground next to the car, so it was real easy to find

The shock sensor on the Firebird is on the wheel well, rear spare tire area. But I found my shock sensor on eBay ;-)

That would be great. I was able to plug in my laptop using a cable from ALDLcable.com, TunerPro RT software and downloaded a generic .ads file for the '7730 ECM and was able to pop up a window displaying my live TPS voltage so it probably shouldn't take you too long to get that figured out. I think with the '7730, you send a request then receive the reply vs. the constant stream offered by the stock Fiero ECM that was meant for the RALLY display.

Well, I've finally put in the 7730 last weekend, basically rendering my DashScan useless. So now I have to start working on a solution... ;-)
