Yeah, it's got factory alarm and transponder (grey) key.
The iDatalink ADS-ALSL CH sounds like a nice way to make the install easier!
Just a couple more questions:
1. How much should the iDatalink ADS-ALSL CH set me back?
2. Is the extra relay that you mentioned (ACC2) for the heater or something else?
Thanks in advance,

the idatalink should be around 65-80 bucks retail.
the additional relay is most likely for blower motor.

The install wiring diagrams from iDatalink show only the connections from the R/S to the bypass
module and the bypass to the vehicle. They do not show the connections necessary from the R/S to
the vehicle. ( You will notice there is no Chassis Ground or +12V constant connections illustrated.)
You will still need to make the necessary connections from the heavy gauge 6 Pin harness to the vehicle.
The selectable White wire will be left at the factory default of IGN2 and connected to the Green/Red
IGN2 wire. The extra relay will be wired as follows :
Relay Pin 85 to U1272 Black wire 9 Pin connector ***
Relay Pin 86 and 87 to +12V constant thru 20A fuse
Relay Pin 30 to Concorde ACC2 Black/White @ Ignition Harness
Relay Pin 87A not used - insulate ( or de-pin )
*** Set U1272 programming Mode 1, Setting 5 to Opt 1
Additional connections from the U1272 to the vehicle include :
Parking Lights
Chassis Ground
Horn ( optional )
Hood Pin Switch
While the U1272 is capable of one-way D2D communication to the iDatalink module ( all the Black
dashed lined ), I would go W2W with all the necessary connections. Some connections like Door
status, Trunk status and E-Brake status are not required for your R/S system. The U1272 will
learn the ADS ALSL CH's Tach signal automatically the first time you start the vehicle after install.

Wow! I knew this would be a bit tougher than the T&C and Caravan installs but with your help and guidance I'm feeling more confident. (I think, lol).
Your preference being analog as opposed to digital I take it?
Thank you once again for taking the time.

i still prefer wire to wire. if a fault occurs across data, you have no way of doing diagnostics (data). If you have w2w, that at least gives you an opportunity to test the wire itself, and see if it works.

X2 with Ted. W2W is the best way to go. Only takes a half hour to mate the bypass module to the U1272 on the bench, making all the necessary connections with solder and heat shrink tube. Gives you a nice, neat assembly to install that will last the lifetime of the vehicle.

Yeah, I get it on the w2w. It just makes more sense.
Thanks again.
