Anyone have the wiring information for a 2008 Ford Escape? My daughter is wanting me to install an RS that can be activated from the factory remote. I told her the range would be very limited but that is what she wants. I plan on installing a DEI 562T. That way she will have the DEI remotes if she wants to use them. Also which is the best bypass to use? Thanks!

I used the keyoveride sl2 by Fortin for the bypass, and the system was a ca-410a by code alarm, which works with the factory keyfobs.

Also, i didn't use a tach wire for the install, cuz the vehicle already has factory antigrind, but i'm sure the wire can be found at any fuel injector.
