2001 jeep cherokee, remote start bypass

I am installing an autostart A-2775 remote start on a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I have been told by Direct Electronics tech support to use "For the door locks I would use a dlpkgm and for the bypass if one is needed in that car id use a rflch with a pkdock all avalible from expresskit" Has anyone tried this combo or recommend something different? I am just looking to decrease install time and operate my start and locks with the remote that came with the autostart system.

The easy way to do this vehicle is with an iDatalink module.  I used a ADS DL flashed with ADS DL CH6 firmware on a 2004 recently.  One module did everything, bypass, alarms, locks, Tach signal and brake status.  No need to go into the doors with relays....

If you don't have the ADS USB cable to flash the ADS DL with the correct firmware, get the ADS ALSL CH module.  It comes pre-loaded with the correct firmware.

Here is a link to their WEB site :  http://www.idatalink.com/helpdesk/

Awesome, looks like this will handle everything. One question regarding the RS232 port on the AS-2775. Will this plug in directly to the iDatalink? Again thanks for all of the help.

Not sure about that.  iDatalink doesn't list a compatability guide that I can find and I don't install the Autostart brand.  A quick call to iDatalink or Autostart should get you the answer.  ( I still prefer going W2W, eliminates any issues...)Soldering is fun!

your probably right. I will probably go w2w.

Ok, i did the install this weekend and went w2w with the idatalink and autostart 2775. everything looks ok and the led flashing on the bypass is showing it working fine but it starts then stops. It is like the bypass is not reading the transponder code properly. I have reprogrammed the bypass multiple times but still the same. I can get it to start and stay started if I have the key sitting in the ignition. Any ideas?

Which bypass did you use?  The iDatalink ADS ALSL CH? 

Did you follow the wiring guide for Section C Type 1?  Did you set the module to "Standard Mode" as per the instructions on page 27 of the guide before programming to the Jeep?

iDatalink ADS ALSL CH Followed Section C Type 1. Set the button for 2 blinks to standard mode. After putting it in standard I confirmed it by pressing the button again and holding the button until it registered. Proceded with programing the transponder/key as shown. Lights went through the cycle it was supposed to. When starting by remote it blinks green and no blinking when not in use.

Can the autostart transmitters lock & unlock the doors OK?

When you do the remote start with the "key in", is it just inserted, or inserted and turned to "ON"?

Not familiar with the Autostart unit, what wires do you have connected to the Jeeps' ignition switch?  How is the Pink/White 5th Relay configured?

Everything seems to work fine as far as locks go. When I insert the key (not turned at all) and remote start it starts and stays running but when I just use the remote without any key it goes through the startup and then stop 3 times before it gives up.
