I’m using the blade al as a bypass for my 2008 Acura TL. When trying to program the blade al, all I’m getting is the flashing red led. Double checked all wiring. Any help

A few questions...

Did you flash the Blade AL with the correct BLADE-AL(DL)-HA1 firmware?

Have you tried doing a Factory Reset on the Blade AL cartridge?
The reset procedure will not erase the loaded firmware, only reset
it.

Here are some photos for the wiring :

Yes I reset it multiple times already. I have not flashed firmware yet. Just got it yesterday in mail so just going off from what I have. Where would I wire the ignition black/green wire to? Blade wiring only shoes to wire 4 wires. 2 wire to security, 1 wire to data and the other to door data.

That photo is from an install using an older version of ADS firmware. Your newer firmware no longer uses that wire. Just follow the current wiring diagram.

The Blade AL cartridge does not come from the factory with your particular HA1 firmware. You will need to use the ADS USB cable to flash it with the HA1 firmware. Everything will go smoothly after that.

I don’t have that cable so I just ordered one. Hopefully that is all I need to do. Will post back here if I have any problem after that.
