Yeah, it's got factory alarm and transponder (grey) key.

The iDatalink ADS-ALSL CH sounds like a nice way to make the install easier!

Just a couple more questions:

1. How much should the iDatalink ADS-ALSL CH set me back?

2. Is the extra relay that you mentioned (ACC2) for the heater or something else?

Thanks in advance,

the idatalink should be around 65-80 bucks retail. the additional relay is most likely for blower motor.Ted

These are the specs for my "type 3" install but no mention of a relay.

The install wiring diagrams from iDatalink show only the connections from the R/S to the bypass

module and the bypass to the vehicle.  They do not show the connections necessary from the R/S to the vehicle.  ( You will notice there is no Chassis Ground or +12V constant connections illustrated.)

You will still need to make the necessary connections from the heavy gauge 6 Pin harness to the vehicle.

The selectable White wire will be left at the factory default of IGN2 and connected to the GREEN/ RedIGN2 wire.  The extra relay will be wired as follows :

Relay Pin 85 to U1272 Black wire 9 Pin connector  ***

Relay Pin 86 and 87 to +12V constant thru 20A fuseRelay Pin 30 to Concorde ACC2 BLACK/ White @ Ignition HarnessRelay Pin 87A not used - insulate ( or de-pin )

*** Set U1272 programming Mode 1, Setting 5 to Opt 1

Additional connections from the U1272 to the vehicle include :

Parking LightsChassis GroundHorn ( optional )Hood Pin Switch

While the U1272 is capable of one-way D2D communication to the iDatalink module ( all the Black

dashed lined ), I would go W2W with all the necessary connections.  Some connections like Door status, Trunk status and E-Brake status are not required for your R/S system.  The U1272 willlearn the ADS ALSL CH's Tach signal automatically the first time you start the vehicle after install.

Soldering is fun!

Wow!  I knew this would be a bit tougher than the T&C and Caravan installs but with your help and guidance I'm feeling more confident. (I think, lol).

Your preference being analog as opposed to digital I take it?

Thank you once again for taking the time.

i still prefer wire to wire. if a fault occurs across data, you have no way of doing diagnostics (data). If you have w2w, that at least gives you an opportunity to test the wire itself, and see if it works. Ted

X2 with Ted.  W2W is the best way to go.  Only takes a half hour to mate the bypass module to the U1272 on the bench, making all the necessary connections with solder and heat shrink tube.   Gives you a nice, neat assembly to install that will last the lifetime of the vehicle.Soldering is fun!

Yeah, I get it on the w2w. It just makes more sense.

Thanks again.
