Hello,

Is there a preference over which bypass module I should use on the F150?  here seems to be quite the price difference when it comes to certain models.  Any suggestions as to which one is recommended? 

Idatalink: ADS-TB?

Idatalink: ADS-AL-CA?

Idatalink: ADS-TBSL-KO?

Thanks in advance!

Pete.

The bypass modules listed for the 2007 F-150 only perform the transponder bypass function for

that vehicle.  The ADS AL CA is a full feature module that, with the correct firmwarwe and
vehicle application, can do a whole lot more ( locks, alarms, tach, door / hood / trunk status,
etc ).  Hence the higher price.

For the, F-150 the ADS TB or ADS TBSL KO will do the transponder bypass nicely.  They are very

easy to program and reliable.  The big difference between the modules is the ADS TBSL KO comes
pre-loaded with firmware while the ADS TB needs to be flashed with the correct ADS TB FM firmware
prior to use ( with a special USB cable ).

Another option is the DEI 1100F bypass module.  It is a re-badged iDatalink module.  Think of it

as an ADS TB, pre-loaded with the ADS TB FM firmware.  They are getting harder to find, but are
extremely reliable and usually less expensive ( > $25 ) because DEI discontinued them and they
must be connected in the W2W mode.

Remember that you will need two, working, non-clone keys to program any bypass module.

Soldering is fun!

Thanks for the reply ropuma & Kreg357.

Kreg357,

I remember reading somewhere that I would require 2 keys to program the bypass module.  I have read the write up on iDatalink for this, but am having a little trouble understanding the process.  Would you be able to shed some light on this programming issue?

Thanks again.

Pete

The bypass programming is similar to programming an additional key.  On the F-150, starting in 2004, they changed

the PATS system and required two, working, non-clone keys to program another key.  In prior years you only needed
one working key to add more.  The iDatalink Install guide instructions are written to cover either style PATS
system programming ( one key or two key ).

First, make sure the remote start and bypass are wired up to the vehicle correctly.  With the iDatalink module,

select the correct mode, either Data ( D2D ) or Standard ( W2W ) and lock it in.
 
1.) Insert the first working key into the ignition switch and turn to the ON position. 
2.) Watch the dash Security Light and the bypass modules' LED.  The security light should go out in 3 seconds or
    so and the bypass's LED should turn solid Red.
3.) Quickly remove the first key.  Insert the second key and turn to ON.  Again watch the dash Security light
    and the bypass's LED.  The dash security light should go out in 3 seconds or so and the bypass's Red LED
    should go out.
4.) Remove the second key and press the bypass's programming button once.
5.) Quickly remote start the vehicle ( or jump +12v to the vehicles Ignition wire ).
6.) The bypasses LED should go solid Red and then solid Green.
7.) Press the brake pedal to shutdown the remote start ( or remove the +12v jumper on the Ignition wire).

All done.  Try another remote start.

Soldering is fun!

Yes that product will do everything for your truck but it does need to be flashed in order to do that.

this would also be an option as it offers a t-harness for your truck.

ok, thank you... just so I am clear; to flash I just need 2 good keys or do I need the usb to flash it? I assume the "flashing" is for implementing part of the truck computer to this device?

Not sure I completely understand your question. 

The 2016 F150 is a bit different from the 2007 F150 in this discussion.

If you have a regular key 2016 F150 and all you want is remote start using the Factory Remote Keyless Entry FOB's,

then you should go for an ADS AL-CA flashed with the ADS-AL(RS)-FM6 firmware.  Very easy install all done at the
trucks OBD2 connector.  Here is a link to the iDatalink site for the install guide :  http://www.idatalink.com/rs

Remember that the ADS AL-CA module must be flashed with the correct firmware.

Soldering is fun!
