idatalink products

Just go directly to idatalink and purchase it from their store. The best kit if it's not for a Compustar system is the ADS-AL-CA and if you have a Compustar Blade ready CPU, use the BLADE-AL. You can get a package deal with a loader on their site.

The loader is pretty cheap. If you plan on using Idata more than a few times it is definately worth getting. I keep two in my work van(we do dealer work) and connect to my laptop for on the spot flasfing. I gotta say i do love the product, we can carry 4 different units units and flash them for any car out there at the last minute.

Maybe you've already ordered, but they've got a couple of package deals on their website that gives you the loader, one or two modules, and a T shirt.

Also, a summary as to their kits:

Solo Series (less expensive): Comes preloaded for one "family" of cars. Can be updated to newer firmware, but you can't change from, say, a Nissan to a Honda.

Multi Series (more expensive than Solo): Comes with no firmware whatsoever, but you can use the loader to put whatever you want on it.

Omni Series (more expensive than Multi): Comes with the firmware for LOTS of different cars preloaded. (Omni is intended for on-the-road installers, or others who don't have Internet access to flash modules.)


In summary: Let's say, for example, that you do a whole lot of Nissans and Toyotas, but only rarely see Hondas or Chevrolets.

You'd probably want to have a healthy stock of Solo Series for your Nissans and Toyotas, because they cost less and you know you'll use them.

You wouldn't want to order a Solo Series for a Honda, because it would sit on the shelf forever.

So you'd keep a handful of Multis in stock, because you know that when that rare Honda or Chevy comes in, you can do the job without ordering product, even though the Multi does cost more.

And again, if for some reason you run out of your Nissan Solo pieces and another Nissan shows up....just eat the extra cost and use a Multi for that, too.

Thanks Chris for the detail. I order a ton of bypasses last year and yeah they are still sitting there lol  (that is if they even work. the last couple have not).  Drawback is they dont d2d wit the alarms i use but at this point I just need these things to work.
