Thanks all, Now i work my way up to platinum @ kregs thanks! much appreciated. To smokeman im glad the fortin bypasses are working great for you. I stock 2 brands of bypasses. Fortin and iDatalink Blades (TB and AL). These 2 combinations cover every vehicle possible. For some vehicles, one platform works better than the other. I just started using some xpresskits DBALL and ive had nothing but bad luck with them. Great transponder bypass, but horrible data/can communication. Often it doesnt do have the features it said it can do. im trying to set up my paypal to donate to the forum, hopefully in a few days it will be ready to go.Ted

once again, congrats on the promotion ted. I have to agree with you on the bypasses. I used to stick with all DEI but now that I've started using the idatalink (mainly the blades) and Fortin; I don't think I'll ever go back. The blade bypass in conjunctin with Compustar units is just as easy as it gets. Can't wait til I get my promotion.. hopefully soon. On the defroster topic. Where do you get the wiring information from Ted? Everywhere I look it seems like nobody ever lists the defroster wire information and I end up having to go to the switch every time.Kenny

My main wiring guide is WireMagic (Installogy) which comes with my compustar account, and I cross reference with Fortin WireGuide as my secondary. If i cannot find a wire at all, my last resort is Directechs. all wiring software's are accurate to some extent. I use WireMagic/fortin more often as its a Canadian based company, and the wires match Canadian model vehicles. Ted

Yea, since leaving Circuit City its been tough as hell finding a reliable wire diagram site that doesn't require a dealer account. But so far the readyremote.com has been pretty much spot on... just never gives anything for defrost.Kenny

Just wanted to say congrats to tedmond also!! I can't wait to get there. I did the dance of joy just going from Rookie to Standard! I thoroughly enjoy what I do and love helping here. I honestly can say a lot of my installs would not have gone so smooth if the12volt didn't exist with great folks like you!! I have been considering Compustar since all I carry now is 99% DEI. (1% for Fortin and Idata bypasses). With recent issues I've had with DEI bypasses, Fortin will definitely fill my orders more. I'll have to check out Installogy but I agree that Readyremote is very good and hasn't steered me wrong. But having that extra bit of info helps.

are you buying the bypass modules online?Ted

I buy equipment online since I don't know of an authorized dealer that I can deal with directly for DEI (or other products for that matter).

PM me your zip code and ill check what it cost to ship modules. It might work out cheaper for me to ship you Fortin bypass modules. I get them for a very good price, as the factory is 6hours away from where i live. Its like buying it local. I can give you a run down of the price of the modules as well, if you have specific ones you need.Ted
