2012 hyundai sonata gls remote start

Trying to figure out if I can successfully use a data module on a remote start install on a 2012 Hyundai Sonata GLS. I thought I had it all ready to go a figured out but then I ran in to this update from idatalink: http://12voltdata.com/viewtopic.php?f=282&t=4654. Not really sure what this means now. Can someone clarify on this posting? I was planning on using the iDatalink ADS-AL CA in conjunction with an Audiovox SS6900. But I called an spoke with a rep from iDatalink on the support line and I got even more confused. The rep tried to explain that if the car was build for the US w/ standard key (as opposed to push-to-start) then the vehicle did not support data.

So my question is do I need an immobilizer to bypass the ignition for this remote start install? Also, can I use a module like the iDatalink ADS-AL CA to simplify the install by using data to transfer information such as door triggers, tach signal, door locks, truck release etc...?

I have experience with remote start / alarm installs but I don't get into them very frequently. It seems like everytime I jump back into this arena there are so many changes. I remember when the iDatalink site would give you a chart of all the functions that would be available for each particular make and model. But for at least this install that doesn't seem to be the case. I also looked at the Fortin module EVO-ALL as an alternative. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

If the wiring for the 2012 is the same as the 2011, it seems like you will be better off just not worrying about a bypass if it is not required. It seems like just about everything can be found right at the dash fuse box and should be pretty easy to just wire the old fashioned way. Then you don't have to worry about spending the extra money and you'll know its a good connection.Kenny

wiremagic lists them as the same. no differences. No need for bypass module if its USA model, data bypass will still work, but not required. all wires are located at the kick panel/fusebox as kenny suggested.Ted

Plenty of good info on this forum from prior posts, too.

Soldering is fun!

I'll also add on, no bypass needed for this car with regular key. No need for any data as all the wires are very simple to get and all connections are simple other than the lock detention.Mike M2

Thanks for the quick responses and helpful information. I thought this might be the case but I found it hard to believe for a vehicle this new. Thought they all were a little more high tech and complicated these days. Funny how the most simple install will trip you up now days just because you expect that there must be more to it. Thanks again!
