I tried to get through the hood release grommet from outside in but it binds up before I can see any coat hanger coming through. I'll take a closer under the dash look when it's a bit warmer. My toes are frozen!  LOL.

Thanks again,

A little shot of WD-40 on the hanger works wonders.  

Had a heated garage for my mobile install today. 

Soldering is fun!

Nice! A buddy's got access to a heated garage on Tues. so if I don't get it done by then we'll take it in there!

I've got the knee bolster and plate off already so as soon as I get the tach wire through the rest should be a piece of cake.

Have a good one now ya hear?

Just to let you know that all went well and the unit works well thanks to your guidance.

I have a chance to buy an Ultra Start Model # U-1355A. I'd like to put it in another Chrysler mini-van of mine. A 1996 Grand Caravan SE and was wondering if you've had any experience with this model or brand. I'd appreciate any feedback you could offer!

Thank you,

Trembuzz

Glad the install went well.    Of course once the family and friends find out............. 

Ultra Start makes a solid unit with easy programming and enough programming options to cover most installs.  My favorite

is the U1272 series for basic remote start / keyless entry.  They can be had for around $50.  Never used the Ultra Start 1355A model.  They haven't made them for a few years.  Should be a good unit for your application.  Just connect the tachwire to the coil pack for reliable cold weather starts.

The 1996 Caravan should be pretty easy.  Don't think it has a transponder immobilizer ( U.S. ones didn't ) but check to see

if the ignition key is black or gray.  Gray ones need a transponder bypass.  The van uses a one wire door lock system.  Youwill need relays and resistors to interface it.  Best thing is a DEI 451M door lock module ( $12 ).  Comes with the relays in a compact module and the resistor assortment .  Here is a link to the 451M install guide :  https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/file.asp?ID=726 Here is a diagram for the 1996 Caravan one wire system  : http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/diagrams/extrainfo/diagrams/14301_TOWN-&-COUNTRY_CHRYSLER%20MINI%20VAN%2096%20-%2000%20%201%20WIRE%20JBS%20UNITS.pdf

in canada we have the immobilizer. buy yourself a fortin INT-SL (cheap module) this will handle lock/unlock disarm, sliding doors, trunk, etc. Ted

Yeah, I told all who know that I installed an RS not to tell anyone!

We'll see how that goes. The RS I was going to get got sold before I had a chance so I'll look for that U1272 that you mentioned.

Later, Trembuzz

Thanks for the input tedmund.

I got a local stereo shop to make the resistors I needed for my 1st install as they didn't have the ohms rated ones that I needed. The '96 Caravan is a less expensive model and I can pick up the resistors off the shelf. I have a bunch of relays that I need to get rid of anyway so I'll just build me another module. But thanks just the same.

You still require a bypass module. If you use the int sl it only takes an hour to install everything.Ted
