2008 Chrysler 300, Prestige APS787E

would anyone be able to assist me? I need to figure out this install, my friend changed to having me install this in his 2008 Chrysler 300. I have been looking at this Transponder bypass "Directed Electronics DEI EXPRESSKIT CHALL BYPASS MODULE (FOR CHRYSLER)" Here is the manual for the alarm: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/806483/Prestige-Aps-787e.html I will be installing it in a 2008 Chrysler 300. Please help me figure this out. I really appreciate it..

Being as you have a Chrysler vehicle that uses the iDatalink default CH4 firmware, I think I would go with an ADS AL-CA or FLCAN bypass module. As mentioned, they come from the factory flashed with the needed CH4 firmware. The CH4 firmware is the correct firmware for your Chrysler 300. The iDatalink bypass module are rock solid and can go D2D with your chosen R/S unit. The Prestige APS 787E default D2D protocol is DBI and that is the D2D protocol on the FLCAN bypass module. If you get the ADS AL-CA module, you will have to make one programming change on the APS787E to support the needed ADS D2D protocol. Programming the APS units is pretty easy with the remotes. Here is a link to the FLCAN with CH4 firmware install guide for your 300 : http://images.idatalink.com/corporate/Content/Manuals/DL-CH4/DBI-AL(DL)-CH4-EN_20180425.pdf The chart on Page 2 indicates the supported features. You would follow the Type 2 install diagram. While it looks complicated, it's not. In D2D mode all of the dashed Red connections are made via the D2D connection. The relay isn't needed because you would be getting a current production FLCAN module that has a H/W version of 1.24 or better. You would need a 5 amp fuse and a 1N4001 diode. The fuse holder could be one from the APS787E because you could combine the two +12V input wires into one, with one fuse, and use the other for the 5 amp IGN line. You could do the bypass module to R/S connections on the bench. Aside from the 5 vehicle connections shown on the Type 2 diagram, you would need both power and ground to the APS 787E and a hood pin.Soldering is fun!

Is this the bypass you are talking about? What would I ask the seller to insure it is flashed to the right firmware? https://rover./rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F113539405765

For some reason I can't get the link to work. There are several online sources for that bypass module. EBay, Amazon, Crutchfield and Sonic Electronics come to mind. Pretty sure the default firmware loaded at the factory will be fine, as long as has never been opened / used. For the FLCAN its FLC AL(DL) CH4 and on the ADS AL-CA its ADS AL(DL) CH4.Soldering is fun!

This link work? https://www./itm/IDATALINK-ADS-AL-CA-IMMOBILIZER-BYPASS-MODULE-DOORLOCK-CANBUS-INTERFACE/113539405765

While the link didn't work, the "113539405765" is an eBay item number that is exactly what you want. In the auction, the item picture shows the current H/W version number and the correct firmware. You will have to change the APS787E programming, Feature 18 to Option 2 to support D2D to this bypass module. Soldering is fun!

Looks pretty good. Here are some corrections and additions. You are going W2W with the manual wire connections between the APS787E and the ADS AL-CA, so you must set the ADS AL-CA to Standard Hardwired Mode prior to vehicle programming.

Thank you, I'll keep you posted on how it goes and try to post pictures. 😎

I'm doing my vehicle prep wiring for the alarm right now and I'm noticing a few things that I have some questions about on the relay numbers 85 and 87 I'm not sure which wire goes on those? On the idata the wires black/white , green, purple/yellow and purple/black are they not used on this install? The white/red wire on the APS787E is confusing. Is it going to connect to 85 on the relay? also I'm a little confused on how the unit is going to connect to the onboard computer of the car?
