The users who use the Idatalink certainly are sold on the units. Where I am only doing my car, is it really worth my while to buy the interface for programming or just get one of the other units? Kind of funny they don't offer that as an option in purchase. I figured the real advantage was that I would get the doorlock module built in to the combination, but according to the wiring diagram, I can just wire it in directly without the module, I guess. I noticed there was some discussion in a different thread about the domelight in the pilot, so I guess I would have to deal with that without the doorlock module. Does that sound right?

Thanks

No it wouldnt be worth it. Since you are only doing you car, you should just buy the one with your firmware already loaded. No reason to get the multi platform one if you are only going to do you car.

The ADSTB is just a transponder bypass unit where the ADSDL or ADSALCA are capable of doing both transponder bypass and other features such as doorlocks etc on SOME units. When u look up yourvehicle on the idatlink website, it will show all units that will work and build a chart showing what each model will do comparitively.

If you are just buying one for your own use, buy a solo series for your particular vehicle. These are preloaded with the correct software. The multi series are downloadable/upgradeable.

It seems that I couldn't find the correct terms for the forum search and wound up starting another thread. Sorry about that. Anyway, I appreciate your advice, one and all.

Two questions about the idatalink module. I am looking at the ADS-TB multi -platform transponder bypass. It appears to me to be both a transponder bypass as well as a doorlock/security interface. Is that right?

And second, will this work out of the box without programming, or do you have to buy the programming module too to write the firmware?

Thanks.

False,

ADS-TB = AUTOMOTIVE DATA SOLUTION- TB= TRANSPONDER ONLY

then you have your ads-dl and Al CA

the DL is your doorlock/transponder (limited) peice. Transponder only on certain makes

AL CA is your over built all-in-one. <-------- mother of all bypasses. =)

You are probably getting tired of the topic, but I think this may be the end.

I've found Honda SL-3 units branded First Tech, Autopage, Crime Stopper, and Fortin. Are they all made by Fortin, or is everybody just piling on the same model number?

Shipping has been ridiculous. The idatalink solo module ships for $44.00 to Alaska. The SL-3's ship for anywhere between $8.00 and $35.00 and cost between $22 and $45 depending on the brand they are sold under.

Any more thoughts? Thanks again.

Amazon has them by First Tech for $22.79 and by Crimestopper for $34.47. So, are they the same item?
