2009 jeep wrangler, audiovox 901

I want to put my 901 into my wrangler. I cant seem to complete wiring info for a 09 wrangler. I'm really just interested in the remote start feature so would I need to wire up the alarm portion? I'm not sure if it will worK? I never installed half of an alarm/remote start before. Also i'm pretty sure theres no byass units needed?

Do yourself a favor and get the iDatalonk ADS-AL CA because this will save you about 2 hours of grief. You only need one key to program this as it will bypass the Sebtry system via CANBUS. Also, there's not much to wiring for this vehicle if you use th iDatalink module as well seeing that everything is done through the module. This vehicle takes about 45 minutes to install a remote starter system into for us. The wiring information can be found on idatalink's wesite if you use the drop down window and find your vehicle and download the manual for the ADS-AL CA.

Thanks, I'll look into that

Definitely need some kind of bypass, as that car does have Chrysler's Sentry Key.

You're right in that you only need to hook up the remote start portion, as you'll be carrying around the original key to do the doorlocks and panic.

I've always done them just using a universal bypass box, a blank, aftermarket Chrysler key......but the new ADS modules look really, really interesting. Just haven't had time to try one yet.

Also, be aware that the ADS AL CA comes unprogrammed. You need to either A, by their programming cable, B, find a local installer who will program the module for you, or C, buy from a seller who will program it ahead of time.

I'm about to do an 09 Wrangler too.. So the ADS-AL-CA does look like it's the way to go for sure! Question though.. What does the symbol in the diagram near the WHITE/ black and white on the right side of the bypass mean? Thanks

Oh, and it won't need the antenna ring that wraps around the cylinder, right?

tbird2340,

That's a diode. The triangle is the anode side, the line is the cathode(striped) side.

Thanks Chris.. Does it matter which one of these I get?

I'd say the 1N4003 or 1N4004, because their retail locations usually stock them (assuming you're near one) and the stripe's more visible. Any of those diodes should work though.

No antenna ring required, This vehicle is bypassed through CANBUS. One other thing that will make the installation go by even faster is the T-harness from iDatalink. I think it's available now.... ask your local dealer to see if they have these in stock.

So the accessory wire from the remote starter isn't hooked up at all? Just the ignition wire and then the PURPLE / brown multiplex is connected to the yellow of the bypass?

THe only wires from the remote starter needed is the power, ground and the ignition wire. Then wire up the bypass according to the diagram that was uploaded. Program and your done.

Thanks... Does that 5AMP inline fuse HAVE to be installed? I don't have any inline fuses on me and don't really see what it's for..

Thanks

I have this done (didn't put the inline fuse in so I still need that question answered)..

It's working fine but I had a question.. The check engine light is coming on but it's also saying "change oil" so I just wanted to make sure that is why it's coming on..

Thanks

 You need an oil change

THe 5 amp is to protect the circuit for the ignition. If you didn't use a fuse, don't worry about.

Sigh.. I put everything back together, locked with factory remote, remote started and the horn goes off.. Both Installogy and Bulldog's wiring diagrams show it doesn't have factory arm/disarm wires..

Any ideas?

Thanks

Should I just hook up the disarm wire to the unlock of the bypass?

Wait.. I just looked at the bypass manual.. It has a brown "Disarm" wire and a blue/black "unlock/disarm" wire..

I connected the blue/black to my unlock wire from my remote start.. I'm guessing I need to hook up the brown wire to my disarm wire of my remote start?

If the Audiovox has a unlock before start, lock after start option, use this option for this vehicle

That worked! Thanks a lot!! (I use Compustar but it does have that option).

No problems. Sometimes the bypass module says that it takes care of disarm but only in combination with unlock, so the only thing to do is to set the remote starter to unlock before start, lock after start. Post if you have any other problems.
