where to pull power for remote start?

Because this car has a factory alarm is there any harm in disconnecting the siren and LED once the programming is complete? This system has two stage unlocking however when I unlock the doors it seems to do a double pulse. Does the idatalink support double pulse? Also to pop the trunk requires holding the trunk button for about 6 seconds and that also unlocks the doors. Shouldn't the doors and trunk be exclusive?

When using the RS232 port on an Idatalink module the module is defaulted for priority unlock. Meaning that through RS232 the driver side door will unlock on the first press, then on the second unlock press of the remote it will unlock the remaining doors. The way around this is two ways... One way is to W2W (wire to wire) the Idatalink module to the remote start brain... or... you can ground the "Blue/Black" off the Idatalink module, and this will cancel the priorty unlock fuction via RS232, in essence it will double pulse the locks during unlock.

As far as the truck pop unlocking the vehicle goes. This is required because the factory alarm does not automatically disarm via the data bus during truck pop. In order for you to open the trunk the car must first disarm, and the ADS module will unlock the doors during this process.

I recommend if you have any questions pertaining to the ADS modules that you visit their support forums at http://www.12voltdata.com. Anyone of the many installers (including myself) would be very happy to answer any questions pertaining to their products.

The unlock is currently working exactly the opposite. It's unlocking all doors through a single push of the unlock button on the transmitter. I hear the remote start pulse twice and I'd actually like it to work as you explained. That's how the car works from the manufacturer. One press opens driver door, two presses opens all doors. It's currently reversed and I don't have the blue/black grounded. I simply have the RS232, the pink ignition wire and the orange data bus wire. Thanks for answering!
