03 honda crv avital 4103 and ads dlsl ha

I have done eight Remote Start installs but haven’t done one several years. Back in the day I hard wired everything. Am impressed with the modern bypass modules and am going to try one. Have a few questions.

2003 Honda CRV. Plan to use an Avital 4103lxl with an idatlink ADS-DLSL-HA. I chose this ADS model because it is a solo series and should be good to go. Will be connecting via W2W.

ADS calls for a GWR wire. On the 4103 is this the orange ground when locked?

ADS calls for trunk out. On 4103 is this RED / white channel 2 output?

From there I will follow ADS wiring and from the 4103 hook up 12V, Ground, Brake, Hood Pin, Parking Light, Horn and I may also do rear defroster.

Sure seems easy. Have I missed anything? – Any reason I should chose different equipment? Thanks in advance.

The GWR is a blue wire in the 4 pin satellite relay harness (ground when running; NOT ground when armed). Yes, the trunk output is RED / white in the main harness. You will still need to connect all of your main heavy gauge ignition wires. I believe that vehicle has 2 accessory wires and both need to be powered for the heater blower to work. The bypass should control the locks and factory alarm controls. So the rest of what you have should be right.Kenny

OK, I see that now, it is called the 200mA status output

Then I’ll go:Pink ignition output to CRV White ignition harnessPurple Starter to BLACK/ white starterOrange accessory to BLACK/ red accessoryPink/white programmable ignition 2 output programmed to accessory to CRV second accessory WHITE/ red.

Of Course will do 12V in straight to the battery w/30A fuse, all soldered, no t-taps.

If you see any other mistakes, please let me know.

Kenny (offroadzj) thanks you so much for the lightening fast response. Your help is sooooo appreciated.

Looking good so far.  Using an iDatalink module is good.  Going W2W is good.  Soldering all connections is good. 

Heat shrink tube where possible, Scotch Super 33+ everywhere else. 

One last thought, run a Tach wire to the test connector and program the Avital to Tach Mode ( Menu2, Item1, Opt4 ).

Virtual Tach is not 100% reliable and cold weather does affect Honda's.

Soldering is fun!

You should be able to get your 12v constant at the ignition switch. I believe it will be a heavy enough gauge wire.

Will do – is it the blue tach test wire next to the battery to violet/white tach input (programmed). Do I learn the virtual tach first and then hook this up after, or do I hook up and program the RS right off, before the first start?There are absolutely only two kind of people in the world – Those who absolutely believe there are only two kind of people in the world and those who don’t.

Thanks for the wiring info. Better, more info, than what I had.There are absolutely only two kind of people in the world – Those who absolutely believe there are only two kind of people in the world and those who don’t.

Wire Avital to iDatalink on bench.  Install assy in vehicle ( including Tach wire connection ).  Plug in fuses.  Program ADS bypass to vehicle.  Try locks.  Program Avital for Tach Mode and Flex Relay = ACC2.  Do Tach Learn process.  Try a remote start.Soldering is fun!

Verify Blue Tach wire with Digital Multi Meter.  Set to 20V A/C.  Connect Black lead to chassis ground and Red lead to suspect Blue wire.  At idle, reading should be1 to 6 volts and rise slightly with RPM's.

Test Hood Pin wire with DMM to be sure.  It should show open with hood closed and ground when hood is raised.  Set DMM to 20V DC.  Red lead to +12V and black lead to sustect hood pin wire.  DMM should show 0V with hood closed and +12v with hood open.  That is what the Avital is looking for.

Soldering is fun!
