lol u said run it thru the fusebox on an empty slot or use the firewall to run power, i'm just usin the battery cause it's easier to access and run the wires, no different than my XMroady unit, had to wire the antenna to the trunk so i could mount it somewhere on the exterior of the car that was useful at picking up a signal, so all that wire i have run so far will serve perfect as a secondary path for my power and ground.

That comment was not at all directed to you, it was to Banzai considering he was the one talkin about the BCM, not you... No need to get angry about it either, originally I just stated that tapping the fusebox would have been easier. If you didn't know how or wanted help all you had to do is ask "how do you do that?"

My warranty is NOT void.. If you don't know please don't assume you look like an idiot. I've been to the dealer multiple times with all of my mods and my alarm/starter and guess what.. I still have warranty. I'm not sure why you always seem to have all these problems but unless your mod caused the probem they can't void your warranty.
i also remember you coming in here a couple months ago saying you didn't have warranty after going to the dealership for something... ill go find it.. and steve said he would look into it... and nothing was ever said..
take a chill pill..

i was simply saying that the computer on the ecotecs are very sensitive to foreign objects being in the the fuse box...
the validity of his warranty was only in question because of a post made a long time ago about him going to the dealership and them telling him they voided it and never being proved differently...
nathan, you did the correct thing by going straight to the main power source... then you know you wont **** anything up...

ok to clear things up.
nathan - your bcm fuse panel is in the same place as the rest of the cobalts. inside behind the center console panel in the passenger foot well
travis - yes the bcm is very sensitive and basically it was me the installer who didn't realize that even though you don't have onstar the fuse slot is still directly hooked up to the bcm and i should have realized that. and i did check cobalt addicts warranty and yes he still has full warranty. i can't remember if i posted it or not.

so on another note, i finally found a way to hack windows vista into not having to activate itself. and even if it does get locked out, there's a way to unlock it temporarily
