I am trying to install a RS in a 2008 Mercury Mariner. The RS went in ok but the transponder bypass is being a pain. Fortin shows that the KEYOVERRIDE-ALL should work. The problem that I'm having is that the plug in the vehicle doesn't match any of the plugs on the provided diagram. Any help would be appreciated.

It will work. On the four pin plug, find the one wire that tests as an ignition. Your yellow from the bypass goes there. The pin right next to that is ground the black from the bypass goes here, or you can ground to the chassis. The 3rd pin will get the yellow black from the bypass. Fourth pin gets the violet/white from bypass. I don't ever go by the pictures, and if i remember right, they list the pins wrong for that vehicle.....

I checked the plug that goes into the transponder ring around the ignition and this is what I found (going from left to right).
pin 1 +12V ignition (PURPLE / orange)
pin 2 +12V ignition (yellow/red)
pin 3 Ground (BLACK/ gray)
pin 4 +12V ignition (blue/green)
I done the older Mariners/Escapes/Tributes with no problems

No, I'm from PA. It's my nickname because I'm a Memphis Car Audio dealer and use their product in my demo vehicles.

There is only 1 wire in that plug that will test as a true ignition. Going from left to right, as you have listed. Since you know pin 3 is ground, Pin 4 will be your ignition. Pin1 is rx, and pin 2 is tx. -------------
