If you're wanting secure D2D:

Do you have a iDataLink to D2D cable? Not unless you live in Canada and receive distributorship from AutoMobility. You will also need to flash the ADS-AL CA with the DBI protocol firmware.

Note: If you have both an iDataLink and D2D cable, I can provide you with the modifications.

Beyond my original reply, I'm not sure there is a bus interface for the 2008 Ford Focus, with tach or door status. I'm not sure there is a bus interface for anything other than bypass, with that vehicle.

Where did you get your qualification for that ADS module?

Note: The iDataLink to D2D cable should be available in the US, around February.

The first step to programming a Idatalink unit is to determine wheter you hard wire or data transfer. I don't think you can do both. Why not just hardwire both? I don't trust the data tranfer, have too many issues with it...

Okay I can hard wire it, I have no problem with that. Now I'm just confirming what the idatalink outputs and inputs for my car will be. The website says my car is supported but not very detailed on what features will be avalible and what wont.

the rs603 has a neutral safety wire it is BLACK/ white. so if you want to do a little testing and find the neutral safety wire in the car you wont need the dei part at all. there has also been an issue with the the c3 rs603 communicating with the data link modules via d2d. so therefor i would recommend hardwire. if you do use the direct connection then you have to cut the white wire in the d2d cable.

As I replied, there is no module released for that vehicle yet, that will interface with the bus, other than bypass.

The ADS-DL-CA is over kill for this vehicle. Just use the Solo series for this vehicle because most Ford's you can only do bypass ( PATS ) with the modules.
