Which module do you think will be the best to use for a 05 Pontiac SV6 Montana and Viper 5901 2 Way system?

Looking for the following if possible:

a reliable module,

Able to activate the factory remote start 

a data link connection to my 5901

something pre-flashed with the right program

smart phone smart start compatibility

Hello I posted before I'm going to be installing my first remote start/alarm 5901 on a 2005 SV6 Montana with factory remote start.  I have been busy reading old posts trying to learn as much as I can.  The site is awesome, I wouldn't tackle this install without it.  I plan on using the Idatalink ADS-ALSL GM module with w2w Type 2 install using the ADS RNG GM3 PK3 transponder bypass 

The factory remote start is confusing me tho.  My question is, are there wires I don't install since the van has a factory system installed already? If so, which ones? Or, do I have to do anything to the factory unit to make the aftermarket unit work? 

My other question is, does Idatalink verify addresses of businesses to sign up to their website and flash the module,  Can I just put my home address since I'm just a DIY'er or do I have to go to a local shop and pay them to flash the module?  Do you guys agree on module and ADS RNG and any recommendations where to buy.

The iDatalink ADS ALSL GM bypass module is a Solo Series module and comes pre-flashed with

firmware from the factory. You shouldn't need to re-flash it before use.  ( You, as a DIYer,
will not be able to get access and flash your own module.)

There appears to be a 2005 Pontiac Montana and a 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6 model, each one

uses a different install Type wiring method.

According to the ADS WEB site, an ADS ALSL GM module with the ADS ALSL GM firmware will work

for your 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6 if you follow the Section A, Type 3 install instructions,
found in install guide #2468.  No ADS RNG GM3 is required.  The W2W method is necessary to
connect to the Viper unit.

Here is a link to the DEI wiring info for your vehicle :  http://www.readyremote.com/main.asp?make=Pontiac

Soldering is fun!

thank you for the links kreg, nice wiring guide.  I will order the solo module and get started with the project.  I just found out my friend can order Idatalink modules from his car parts store which is cool, maybe he can give me a deal on it.  I will post as I install the system

Hey guys,  I have mentioned before that I'm swapping a 5901 Viper from a 03 Cavalier to a 05 Montana.  Do you guys know of a place where I can order new Viper Harness' instead of re-using the old harness' that have been already installed?  Also, besides a few diodes, and relays, are there common items I will need on hand to avoid pit stops to pick up supplies?  I know the van has a factory hood pin.  Should I pick up some wire to extend any wiring, and if so what gauge?  Thank you to everyone who has been helping me out btw, even tho I haven't even started yet.

You can get them on eBay sometimes. But there almost as expensive as a whole new starter.

Well, the first step is complete.  I removed the 5901 off my 2003 Cavalier that was 'professionally installed'.  I was not impressed with their install.  The brain was in plain sight just by looking under the steering wheel, held by one zip tie.  Someone can disarm the car within ten seconds just by pulling the harness'.  The ignition harness was crimped and everything else was not soldered just taped.  Made the removal very easy tho.  Took them at least 4 hours, I remember it took them a long time.  They barely had to connect much since my car had no power locks, no power windows and I just wanted the alarm portion of 5901 installed.

Sorry to rant, it just proves my point that nobody takes any pride in their work these days.  Most contractors are the same way too.  Even tho I may not be as quick as the pros, my quality is always high, no matter what I do around the house or on my car.    Removing the system I wrote what they connected to and what not, and it gave me an understanding of how to put it together.  I will keep you guys posted of when I start the install and when I finish it.

Hey guys.  I have bought everything to do the install, and I'm free tonight, so I'm going to start.  Im connecting the 5901 to my 05 montana sv6 using the i datalink ads al sl module.  I'm looking at the install manual for the i datalink ads module, Guide code is 2468.  I'm installing the unit using w2w method.

I just want to make sure of something.  There are only 5 connections from the idata to the vehicle,trunk/door status, ob2 data, ignition, and tach with the w2w method?  Also tach wire from ads and tach wire from 5901 get spliced to vehicle tach wire like a 3 way connection?
