Cool

my friend had a 98 camaro and all he did was pull his e-brake up one or two clicks, enough to trip a sensor but not to do any harm to the car. be sure to do it before you start you car though.

simple. Pop the dash off just to right of the windhshield defroster vent on top of the dash. You'll see two modules, one is for the alarm LED and the other is the light sensor. This is recommended. Buy a 10 kohm resistor (Radio Shack). Take the light sensor off (save it). Use the resistor and plug it where the sensor use to be. Use electrical tape to hold the resistor in place and put the dash back together. And you are done.

Hey, this is great! I've been wondering the same thing myself. Can't do those nighttime covert operations with them on

not sure, but I think that's the idea. I've done the procedure three times inlcuding mine and works very well.
