    Thanks Vegasrobbi, we have been looking in to the starter thing, mainly to kill it off.

    I'm going to be doing a motor swap & standalone harness in about (2-3 weeks) using a 2008 6.2 Escalade motor w/E38 hopefully the Vats disable will go good...

    I simply left the Chevy starter relay in place and powered the starter solinoid from the Jeep starter relay and it starts every time. It appears the ECM monitoring of the starter relay trigger must remain unaltered.
    Yes the start command is sent via CAN to the ECM from the BCM which works with IP, Theft Deterent Module, key, ECM, etc etc to get past the security steps. The ECM will never operate a starter via the ECM connected start relay without all these other modules in and working correctly.

    Correct, it's apparent the ECM will not iniatiate the start command; it is easy to connect an external starter relay. The interesting part is the original starter relay, or a resistor which simulates the starter relay trigger, must remain on the starter enable circut for the ECM to allow the engine to run. This was my problem on two E38 5.3's, lets hope this routine can be programed out.

    When I find it I will. There seems to be an option in the system segment, just dont know where it is and havent had time to track it down. Maybe next week. This is needle in a haystack stuff as you know Ross...especially without the right kind of info .

    So from that I assume you've only been told it can be done but as yet the theory isn't proven?
