Bypass cable

Sounds like the wrong kind of bypass.
The correct style bypass cable plugs into the CANBUS blocks behind the headlight switch.

I've seen that style. I didn't like the idea of messing with the OBDII plug. Instead I went with a Kaodtech bypass cable. You plug it into the security module (2 plugs instead of 1), and then plug into the OBDII like you're connecting a scanner/programmer. Plug in your tool to the other end of the OBDII and you're good to go.

Granted, this way was $50 instead of $25, but I can only imagine the cost of replacing the OBDII plug if I screwed it up. Worth the extra $25 to me, but if you're comfortable with such things the other style should work well enough.
