Viper 5906v, Idatalink ADS ALCA Installation, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe

I am installing a viper 5906v and an idatalink ads alca bypass in a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe and I need to know what connections I have to make. I am also installing 530t window module, and a 508d sensor. I'm not new to automotive wiring just new to this type. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.Jeremiah

For the Viper 5906v and the ALCA, follow the wiring exactly on the ALCA guide, wiring Type 2.   Here is a link to the guide: https://images.idatalink.com/corporate/Content/Manuals/DL-GM10/DBI-AL(DL)-GM10-EN_20200320.pdf.    Assuming that the ALCA has been programmed already for D2D (DBI) protocol, correct firmware is DBI-AL(DL)-GM10. The only other connections you may need are Horn/Siren/Parking Lights/Tachometer. Wiring reference (Tahoe model years 2007-2014 are the same): https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=140917 Viper 5906v Programming: At a minimum, you will need to configure the 5906v to Automatic transmission (Default is Manual), and desired Remote Start runtime. You'll also need to perform a tach learn. Viper 5906v Manual: https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/downloads.asp?srch=all&term=viper+5906 For 508D, it plugs into the Sensor 2 port.

Thank you so much, I never expected to get info so fast. Would wiring the idatalink and the alarm in D2D be the Best option or should I wire it all direct. I only ask because I'm a worry wort and want the best outcome possible. Other than the ease and time involved is there any clear advantage of 1 over the other. Thanks again for your help, have a great evening.Jeremiah

Both methods will work in this application, but the caveat is that the ADS ALCA must programmed with the proper firmware (DBI-AL(DL)-GM10), to use the D2D method. If the ALCA is programmed with ADS(idatalink) protocol (ADS-AL(DL)-GM10), you will need to use wire to wire with the Viper 5906v. D2D is my install method of choice, but there is nothing wrong with wire to wire. If you choose Wire to Wire, careful bench prep will allow for a cleaner install with this method.Lectric Guy
