2002 impala, alarm/remote start

I'm going to install a autopage727 on a 2002 impala I'm planning to use a modual from idatalink has anyone ever used 1 before it should do the locks and bypass right any tips or trick will be helpfull thanx in advance.well?

i have never done an alarm/rs on an impala, but i have used plenty of idatalink modules. idatalink is very easy to use and very reliable. for your application, using the DLSL GM will do doorlocks, disarm factory alarm and trunk release all through data. This is the higher end version but there are ones that ONLY do transponder

There is specific firmware for the Impala. It is actually labeled "Impala" Make sure you are using this firmware because there is an issue with the Impala's and Monte Carlo's where the trunk is concerned.Jeff

Yea I thought I read that in this forum some time ago,this impala will be my third alarm remote start install, my second will be today 97 explorer. I can get the mod. At whole sale though do u guys recommend I also get the usb cord the sell for it I'm not sure if the wholeseller flashes them or not how would I know if I need to update the firmware? Thanx for the help guys!well?

if you plan to install more then by all means purchase the usb flasher. if not then ask if they can pre flash it for you. You can always purchase the unit and bring it to a local shop to have them flash it for a small fee.

I do plan on doing a lot more so I guess the 40 bucks for the usb flasher is worth getting, is idatalink made by autopage? Because it say in the manual the d2d from autopage will only work with idatalink, what if u got the wrong firmware can u reflash it or is it a 1 time deal?well?

iDatalink is it's own company but is co-owned by the same owner as Firstech ( Compustar ). They make modules for various companies so there will be instructions from other companies online. It can be flashed infinite times.Jeff

Reflashed only to up date current firmware, but each mod. Is pretty much vehicle specific right? Sorry for so many q's but I don't like to be short on info.thanx againwell?

some vehicles with problems have their own firmware. Most will ahve a certain flash that is compatable iwth one or 2 cars,but other than that each car will have a special firmware for it.
