I am trying to do an alarm since putting a remote start didn't work...I see a lot of wiring diagrams that refer to the BCM. I know where and what the BCM is I just don't know how the pins are numbered. Can someone shed some light on how it works?

Thanks.

I couldn't get the thing to work...I have no idea why to be honest. I used a DEI bypass and just didn't know how the interfaces were connected.

I have a 2005 KC SE. Thanks for the quick reply!

the schematics and the pins are just rediculous. I put in a Viper 5902 not too long ago and it took:

Prepwork - 30 minutes - taping wire bundles and making everything inconspicuous.

Initial install - 45 minutes - mounting brain, dei bypass, running bundles and dissasembling the truck (makes it a whole lot easier if you remove the lower dash below the steering column.

Misc Wiring - 30 minutes - ran 8 gauge wire from battery to drivers kick for +12 for remote start, connecting wires in kick panel, running hood pin, etc.

Steering column wires - 10 mins - Only wires needed here are the starter, all other wires found in drivers kick!

BCM Wires - 2 hours.... - most schematics are straight forward, nissan isnt. They inverted the pin numbers for some reason vs what is labelled on the schematics. Basically you have to go by colors. Due to the confusion, I metered all my wires and double checked each connection. I found the specified colors were right, but pin numbers did not match.

BTW the bypass I used was the DEI DLPK and all I had to wire was the can bus hi and lo wires along with power and ground. With such connections, this module provided a keyless bypass, tach wire, door pin wires, and door lock controls. Very nice!

I was able to do the install making ALL my connections behind the driver kick panel- remote starter, alarm, window roll-up modules. Why go through the trouble of trying to access the bcm mounted in a tight cramped place? The wires behind the kick panel go up to the bcm anyways so why not make connections there where it's wide open? Every wire you could possibly need for the install is behind the kick panel. No need to overthink this stuff.

You're right. I was able to make all the connection on there this time I used a VOM to help me out to find the correct wires. I don't know what to use as the door triggers other than going into the BCM though. Thats for tomorrow. Everything is hooked up. Oh and the horn isn't at the kick panel is it?

BCM connector M20 pin outs and conditions

Looks like I am a little late with this, but maybe someone else can use it.
Compiled from the service manual.
I'm pretty confident in the correctness;-)
But use at your own risk and confirm before cutting!

Door trigger wires run through the kick panel also. You can follow the wire from the door switch and under the sill to where it enters the kick panel area.
