2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Remote Start Alarm?

Thats actually a good plan. I'll have to figure that out. I know the hood adjar sensor is attached to the latch. Shouldn't be to hard to figure out something.

Hey I got the compustar, fitech sensor and idata link here with the wires matched up on the bench. I posted my setup on another forum and the guys say since the compustar brain has a blade port all I needed was a t harness. A couple guys have said harness and say they have no problems. Is there any difference or benefit to using the idata module vs just an idata module like I have? Also wanted to make sure I am to tap into the truck harness and not cut any wires at the bcm. Thanks again. Looking forward to installing today since there's some down time.

The ADS AL-CA and the Blade AL basically do the same function. The Blade AL is a cartridge that can be inserted into a slot on the CS900-s brain module. Makes for a more compact unit but getting the Blade AL flashed with the correct firmware can sometimes be an issue. That's why I suggested the ADS AL-CA bypass module, more available and more sellers willing to flash the firmware. Assuming that you are going D2D between the CS7900 and the ADS AL-CA, the number of wires are pretty much the same. As for a T-Harness for your install, iDatalink makes a T-Harness for use with their HC series units. There is no T-Harness made for the install if using a Blade-AL or ADS AL-CA bypass module. All but one of your vehicle connections will be tap connections. The trucks Green/Purple Immobilizer Data wire must be cut as shown in the install guide with the indicated bypass module wires attached. Please note that there are two different Install wiring diagrams, depending on if your non-OnStar truck has the Factory Alarm system or not.Soldering is fun!

Ok great. Yes i plan to d2d the module. Thw ebay seller programed it per my trucks specs.good to know about the green/ purple wire. I got a bunch of line taps. I know they arent the best but for simplicity I'll tap as so. Should have it in by tonight. Thanks!

Well its all connected and the alarm does not control the truck. I'm thinking of trying to wire around the module at this point. Spent two weekends verifying wiring between the idata and compustar brain. Theres not much in way of wiring on the truck(like 9 wires per idata wiring diagram. Up in the air at this point ugh The only thing that functions is the imobilizer circuit as its cut.

We'll, at this point perhaps we should drop back 5 yards and get very specific. First, you said your truck does not have OnStar but does it have the Factory Alarm system? This info will determine which ADS AL-CA w/GM7 install diagram to follow, either Type 8 or Type 9. While we are getting specific, we should mention the guide number too, #66180. Just to verify, the seller did flash ADS AL(DL)-GM7 firmware and not DBI AL(DL)-GM7, correct? While we wait for that info, we can verify that your set the ADS AL-CA Installation Mode to Data, one blink, and locked it in as shown on Page 38 of the install guide. As for bypass module to vehicle programming, did the LED provide the correct results during the entire 16 step procedure? The ADS AL-CA w/GM7 install guide is very good but it does not show all the necessary R/S connections, omly the ones it is directly responsible for. Notice that it does not show the +12V constant power input connections to the R/S, CS7900 in your case. It also omits the Chassis Ground connection plus things like the siren output, etc. On the install diagram it shows the signal connections that are handled by D2D as Black and Red Dashed lines. Those connections do not get hardwired. But you should still refference back to the chart on Page 2 to see exactly what is handled / provided by the bypass module as it varies by each supported vehicle. Anyway, it would probably be best to have a complete wire by wire connection chart for your specific install with your CS7900, ADS AL-CA w/GM7 and 2014 Silverado 1500 w/o OnStar install. Other important info would be exactly what worked and what did not work, i.e. Does the Compustar remote lock the truck? Does the Compustar remote unlock the truck? Does the Compustar siren confirm these functions? Does the Compustar alrm system detect a door opening when set? What happens when you try a R/S?    Does the instrument cluster light up?    Does the engine crank?    Do you get any Parking Light flash error code? One thing to try would be a Factory Reset on the ADS AL-CA. This is shown on Page 39. It will not delete the GM7 firmware, only reset it to pristine - just flashed condition. After the Reset, set the Install Mode to Data and then go through the 16 step vehicle programming again. That might clear some problems if everything else is OK.Soldering is fun!

Ok great. I asked the seller about the flash and guide#. Waiting on a response. Let me verify data mode The comustar does not lock or unlock the truck or remote start the dash lights lit when the r/s feat is pressed on the remote and you can hear the compustar brain clicking but nothing. The truck did not come with a remote, but i assumed since the truck honks w/ confirmation when the lock button is pushed and doors lock the truck has an al alarm. The factory kit is just a remote and hood latch with a resistive trigger output from what I gather. See a fee guys actully buy it. Let me run through what you have asked and get back to you. Edit The idatalink has a steady green flash indicating additional steps needed.

Sorry the idata green flash with ignition off means false ground while running.

Ok i set the idata to data mode vs standard. Does it matter if im not using the data cable shown in the diagram?
