Is there a black square piece with a strip of metal on it in your ignition key?

a 96 blazer does not have passlock. did not come standard until 1998 on blazers. I cant pull up that ebay link right now, but i install these for a living. most units that are an add on to the factory key fob lack seriously in the range of transmitters. most times you can get a nicer unit that will also do locks and hatch release for pretty cheap.

I was under the impression that Passlock II is standard on 98 - 05 Blazers and 95-97have Passlock I. At least that's what I gather from the Blazers that have come into my shop. I've done a remote start in a 96 or 97 before and it did have Passlock I.

in all my years of installing (12+) including putting a remote start on my fully loaded 97 blazer and my fathers matching 96, no passlock on a blazer from 95-97. some first gens had, some not.

this unit is tens times better than the one you found, and about the same price!!

pm me on how to do this

RE: wanting to get remote start.. help..
 

yes, you will. PM me if you need help installing the unit. I put that unit in my 97 blazer (b4 i sold it)

RE: wanting to get remote start.. help..
 

Im think of doing the same thing to my 05 blazer any difference then the 97?

RE: wanting to get remote start.. help..
 

yes, you will need a bypass for the passlock system. i would suggest the GMBP, PLJX or the 556L

HillBilly: I have a 98 LS Blazer but donot think I have passlock as there is not a strip on my key. Would it be alright to get one of the systems above. Which of the two avital systems did you get and how well did it work?
