07 chevy silverado classic 2500hd bypass

Working on assembling all the parts to install a Viper 5902 into my truck.

I was originally planning on using the DEI DLPKGM module, but I noticed that the blade modules from idatalink will fit into the port/slot in the brain of the alarm.

I would prefer to go D2D if I can though I have heard that many people do both. Do D2D and then W2W what is not working through D2D.

Is there an advantage or disadvantage of going with the idatalink blade module over the DLPKGM?

Recommendations would be appreciated as I want to have the right stuff to do a good and clean install.

I do not believe that viper is not compatible with ADS Blade. That slot was for Xpresskits CanMax400DEI that is now discontinued.

ADS Multi-modules will work d2d with that remote starter as long as they are flashed with DBI protocol.

all brands of bypasses are compatible with wire to wire

D2D can be unreliable on some vehicles and some people just chose to hard wire the product so they will not have to do it later if the d2d does not work well.

that truck i think you would be safe using d2d with the dlpkgm.

Thanks for the reply. It should not be too hard to to w2w if necessary.

So I have the DLPKGM module and want to get it flashed with the most recent firmware. I called a local shop and they said they are not allowed to do it.

Is that a rule from DEI or is that the shops choice. I don't want to buy an XK loader for this ine time need.

Where did you get your module flashed?

-------------
James

I think that's their policy.

what firmware do you have. it should be on the back

It says on the back DLPKGM.

Just afraid the firmware might have been updated since this one was made. I think it has been around a little while based on the condition of the box.

It says

Hardware version : 1

Software version: 1

D/C: 8K

James

do not have a dlpkgm hardware version 1 around.

so i can not tell you what the latest firmware is

for hardware 2 its 3.01

do you only have one directed dealer in your town?

might what to try another shop.

you might not have a problem with that vehicle with that firmware you have.

could just try it and if you have problems flash it to the latest firmware then.

When I get to doing this it needs to be complete in a weekend so I need to be sure. That means either an XK loader or a newer module with a newer flash. This is the first time .... has put me in a bad spot.

Should I worry that the one I have is hardware version 1 or does it not matter?

with that established platorm of a vehicle 2003-2007 i do not think you have to much to worry about.

if you were closer i would flash it for you.

the DLPKGM will only bypass the passlock on your truck. it will not control the doorlocks, door triggers, etc. the 07 silverado classic requires a doorlock module and has multiple door triggers. using something like an idatalink ads al ca or xpresskit xk09 or dball will make the install alot easier

So if I just use the DLPKGM then I would have to wire in the doorlocks from the alarm whereas if I use an XK09 or ADS AL CA it will control the door locks through the data line?

according to the installation guide the dlpkgm will do door locks on the classic

Sorry about my last post. I would delete it if I could.

Here is what I meant to put.

DLPKGM - GM All Doorlock & Passkey Interface
The DLPKGM is a databus interface that is compatible with all Class II serial databus (J1850) type GM equipped vehicles.  The module will support transponder override of PK3 and PKT3+ immobilizer systems as well as support door locks, trunk release, factory security arm & disarm as well as many other vehicle specific functions.

The DLPKGM is D2D compatible which means it can be plugged into any one of our brands of remote starters for quick, easy and reliable installations.

The module is also updatable and can be flashed through our web site using the XKloader or XKLoader2. 

The DLPKGM primary function is to operate as a doorlock and transponder interface, but can also control other feartures such as:
•  Factory Alarm 
•  Parking Lights
•  Heated Seats
•  Trunk Release
•  Power Hatch
•  Window roll-up
•  Memory Seats

The DLPKGM is compatible with GM passive anti-theft systems, such as Vats, Passlock, PK3 & PK3+.

The DLPK can also provide outputs for the remote starter in W2W or D2D such as :

•  Tach
•  Hood Switch
•  Door Triggers
•  Trunk Pin
•  Hand Brake 
•  Foot Brake

That's what I thought as well. It says passlock on the dei website, but in the full description it talks about all the other things it can control.

the DLPKGM has been known to not control doorlocks even though it says it does. had it happen to me on a few vehicles. the fact that xpresskit.com indicates that it does only passlock leads me to believe that it wont work on this truck. if you use it dont be suprised if your locks dont work. and this truck doesnt have regular (+) or (-) locks. you need a module or a full day to take both doors apart.

there are two difference platforms out there for 2007. the new body style and the classic

my guess it at the xpresskit search is showing for the new body style

the classic body style is still the same platform as the 2003-2006 models.

and the dlpkgm will do the doolocks and ever thing on them so. i would say that it will work just fine

after all you have it might as while try to hook up the bypass program it and then just trigger the doorlock wires and see if it will work.

take about 10 min it to get that far. just twist the wire for now

you can try the bypass first be for installing the remote starter to see if it works

Woulds that be by doing quick connections to test or is there a way to bench test it before doing any work on the truck.

Not sure if I mentioned it before, my truck is a classic which makes it the same as an 06.

i can not think of a way to bench test it.

do it wire to wire mode for now

you will only need to hook up the 12v, negative and the purple obd2 wire of the bypass.

then you can program it with the directions.

after programing then you can strip the blue and Lt green of the bypass.

touch the exposed wire (blue or Lt green) to any ground source on the vehicle and see if the doors lock and unlock.

you will not have to solder at this time if it works then you can solder it.

if you still what d2d then just reset the module and when finished with install reprogram the bypass.

if you know where to get the power, ground should not be hard to find, and the obd2 port with be easy to find.

i bet it would only take 10 min. to test

That will definitely be easy. power and ground will be easy and the obd2 wire will be cake.

Thanks for the tips. For that little amount of work, I will test it this weekend and see what happens.

Just thought I would come back and close this out.

Installed the alarm and remote start finally.

The DLPKGM worked perfect. I did flash it with an XKloader before installing. Everything worked D2D and I was able to program everything to work right.

There are some options that can only be programmed with a bitwriter so I am considering having a local shop program those for me or possibly (if need be) buy a second hand bitwriter to do it myself.

Overall happy with the Viper 7902 except the range is not as good as I would like, at least in the neighborhood. Will test in a parking lot when I get a chance.
