Hey all. I am looking at using a Crimestopper RS-1 that I bought a few years ago that I intended on putting on a different car and never did. I have been looking around at the bypass' for the Town and Country and have came up with very little info on what will work with it. I would like to use a "T" connector to keep from splicing into the factory wiring and found this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Z24M4S/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A1729W3053T57N
Is this the right one for this combo? I have also found the iDatalink ADS-HRN CH4: https://www.idatalink.com/accessories/category/product_id/98
And as a bypass use the iDatalink ADS-ALCA? Will all this work together with the R/S unit? I am a novice and only have done 4 remote start installs and about a dozen alarm installs. This is going on my wife's van and if I mess it up she's gonna think it's the end of the world... Thanks for all the help!

Here is a link to a pictorial on the sister vehicle, the Dodge Caravan. Your T & C should be the same.
Doing the install without the T-Harness isn't too hard. The wires are very accessible and provide plenty
of room to solder. https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~130163~PN~1

The most difficult part of the process for you might be obtaining the iDatalink ADS AL-CA bypass module
flashed with the correct firmware, ADS AL(DL) CH4. Another excellent solution is the EVO-CHR with the
THAR-CHR1 harness. These modules come from the factory with the firmware already loaded. Here is a link

Soldering is fun!

Crimestopper RS-1 + ADS-AL CA + ADS HRN CH4 harness = winning combo!!

The ADS-AL CA and the harness can also be used as a standalone remote start unit but you will get better range using the RS-1.

I started using the 4 button model RS4-G3 recently and they are great! They have dual 2-way data ports to work with either iDatalink or Fortin modules in D2D mode. There is still one or 2 wires at most you need to connect to the minivan but everything else is done via the ADS-HRN harness.

Make sure to change the module type for the RS1 to iDatalink since it's default setting is Fortin. The install manual will show you how.

I just purchased the EVO-CHR-THAR1 unit and will try it out and see how it all works. I like the fact that it is already set up and comes with the t-harness. I hope it's not to easy cause she will expect more and it's an excuse to get out of the house. Thanks again guys
