Hi all,

I've been to Fortin website and they demosntrate an interesting feature of their immobilizer bypass module.

With the Key-override-all bypass module, it'll be able to communicate with the MCU via data bus. With this feature, the bypass module talk to the MCU and have the MCU do start, lock, unlock..... all the hard wiring like brakes, lock, unlock, arm and disarm won't be neccessary. All we need to connect are the constant 12V and data wires to the ingition cylinder.

Please let me know if this features exist for real ?

This all depends on the vehicle you are installing it into.
The functions you can activate will be different on a 2006 Trailblazer as compared to a 2008 Camry.

Key-override-all does transponder bypass only. Doesn't do locks or trunk or anything like that.

as brhaugen said, what features you can get, and what you can't, depends on the car.

But yes, something like their CAN-SL-2 does many things, on many cars.

I'd like to install on my 04 Acura MDX.

Here's the whole story, I'd been to Fortin website and watched their demonstration about the 2 way-data-link and what i thought was with that feature I'll be able to install the remote starter very simple, I only need to connect 4 wires, constant 12v, GND, data and ignition, I'm done.

I was planning to install the 2W900FMR remote starter from Compustar with the Fortin bypass, then I called Compustar tech support about the bypass module and what they said was 2 way-data-link only work for vehicle equipped with CAN BUS and with my 04 MDX I won't be able to utilize the 2 way-data-link.

Then, I talked to the AlarmTek online distributor for Scytek tech support, they said I'll be able to do 2 way-data-link on my 04 MDX via Fortin bypass module.

I talked to 2 tech support with 2 different stories so I'm confused if the 2 way-data-link is available for my car.

That's why I wondering in the real world of installation if somebody ever be able to make this feature, 2 way-data-link, worked at all.

Thanks again for all inputs,
