I've put everything back together, truck remote starts fine, doors lock/unlock fine, x1 drone still not communicating with the cm6000.

Yes, I am using port cn6.

Never tried an X1 on an older CM5x00 or CM6x00 system. Perhaps a call to Compustar is in order.

Soldering is fun!

From previous post the older drone worked fine with it. Now that we're being told that its sunsetting and that the x1 is just a simple swap this new install shouldn't be problematic.

I can't find any instructions on power cycling the x1 so now I'm waiting for the battery to drain.

So I decided to do another test but on my own cm7000. I used the ads usb cable to update it(just cuz I can now, hah) and connected the x1 drone to it and VOILA. It connected, it showed my module (which was the cm7000 of course). Showed my in car temps, I could lock/unlock, configure shock sensor, etc...etc... I liked how my 2way remote went off every time I arm/disarm.

So, to me it seems like the cm6000 isn't a compatible module and my brother, who owns the truck, decided to return the x1 and will upgrade it to the cm7000 and add a DAS-II plus the x1. This can be a package deal for less than what he paid for at BB.

pretty sure the 6200 needs a blade AL to used as drone gateway. I remember reading it somewhere that the 5200 /6200 needs the blade AL to work with the x1 drone

My cm6000 has a blade, the vehicle requires one in order to bypass the immobilizer.

My other cm7000 didn't have a blade but the x1 was able to communicate. Eh....

That could be it. The Blade installed in your CM6000 was a Blade TB, not a Blade AL.

Ah, I read the comment wrong. Well the Blade TB is the only one supported for the vehicle.

Ok, I'll give that a try. I've ordered the Blade AL from amazon and rip apart my bro's truck again. Should be here Wednesday.
