Any BCM experts? I am looking to possibly bypass this but still keep everything working on an original 4th gen harness. I know the stereo, doors, alarm, all go through this module. Any help would be appreciated.

What combination you running?
The stereo dosen't go through it to my knowledge. The windows and locks would be easy enough to deal with, but you would have to install a aftermarket keyless entry/alarm if you wanted to keep that. Other than Vatts, why remove it???

I'm running a truck BCM in my '33 Ford with a Camaro LS1 and PCM. I'm using it to control the automatic headlights, dome light delay, and the retained accessory power, so the radio stays on when the car is shut off. I'm not using it for VATS. It's really pretty simple, and could be used without the PCM. I just got a wiring diagram for the BCM and put power to what needed power, and grounded the grounds, then hooked up thi wiers to the RAP relay, headlight switch, and door pin switches and it works. The only wire that goes to the PCM on mine is a data wire, but if you unhook it, all it does is it won't let my TechII communicate with it. What are you trying to use it for?
