Watched your RUclips vids. Good info. I have a 2016 ram 1500. I have a 4x10. I have the THCHC3 harness. I am capable of installing. Flashing? Where do I go to get it flashed. I am close to Toronto. Where is your shop? Canadian eh? Thanks. BTW your website contact captcha service is in need of upgrade. Could not contact through the site.
Great video! Very informative. I’m in the market for a remote start system. How do I know if my 2010 Ford Sport Trac XLT is analog based, or computer controlled? (It has an aftermarket Viper alarm system controlling power locks, thus permitting keyless entry.)
I know this is an old video but do you know where I can get a idatalink ADS-AL(DL)-CH5-EN for my ram 1500 it’s an 06 and analog and I wanna use it for compustars t13 also I live in Colorado
Hi Anthony, thanks for your video. I'm very glad I watched your video, it's extremely informative. I have a 2018 Honda CR-V with Push to Start. I'm very confused as to what starter I should be getting for my vehicle. I've been to different shops, who carry starters from different vendors (iDataStart, Viper, Compustar, etc.) - like you said, the end result is the same regardless of what starter I buy, so the conversation is centered around what type of remote I want, not so much what product works best for my car. Do you have any recommendations as to what product would work best for my car? And any recommendations on shops - I live in Calgary. Thanks.
My name is Artie .I have a 2004 silverado 2500hd. I installed a viper 4105v. Everybody thinks i have a key chip, I do not I have a coded lock cylinder. The remote starts without an Interface or bypass but i am adding a Idatalink ALCA only because i want the interface to control the door locks, so i don't have to go into the doors and wire reversing relays. If you start the Truck with the remote the lights would come on not flash and the truck will start. If you shut it down and use the remote start again the lights will not come on unless you open the door, because the ignition to the radio and window switch is on . My question is what format does the viper 4105v use so i can flash the ALCA.
what about 2010 dodge charger rt/police package. What can I realistically buy for my car because I put my car details Directed Universal Interface Module DBALL3 doesnt fit my vehicle, and i know you mention Directed univesal products work well on mopar so whos right?
Hey man thanks for getting back to me so soon quick question that alarm is out of my price range this is a late Christmas gift for my mom and she just wants a simple remote starter. So I found a crimestopper rs4 g5 new on eBay for 45 bucks plus a idata link bypass module and together they are under a 100 shipped. Will that work for her car the eqinox that I mentioned earlier I know viper is better I own a cavalier with a 2 way alarm and remote start and I love it but my mom doesn't want a alarm. Any info you can give will be greatly appreciated and thanks again take it easy and peace out.
Great Video Anthony with good clear easy to follow audio a cut above what most youtube videos are like . so now on to my question I have a 2017 Ford Transit Custom (UK model) would a viper 3203v along with a DB3 all work in this vehicle oris there a better way to go with this vehicle?. I see there is a new DS4 viper range out now what are your thoughts on these new systems ? and this will be a DIY install so what would suit me better Cheers
Mark E DS4 is probably a better solution for you. This isn't a DIY product though as you need a dealer login alone just to program it and set it up. I highly recommend visiting a local authorized Directed dealer for product like this.
Thanks for your reply Anthony I have been doing a lot of research on this alarm installation and as you know its a minefield . I looked up directcehs.com today and saw that the DS4 is not compatible with my vehicle so was thinking of the Viper 5706v as this has a D2D port that would make for a easier DIY install with the DB3 All. Is this a better way to go for my vehicle ? I will not be using the R/S section of the 5706v which also makes me think the 5305 v will do the same job ? The only reason I am thinking of the 5606v over the 5305v is that it has a better looking and rechargeable remote and newer technology which way would you go ? Thanks Mark E
Mark E I think all the new 2 way remotes are rechargeable now. If you're not going to remote start look into the 3606 paired with the DB3. It will still use the D2D plug.
I have just looked at the spec of that 3606 and it looks like it may do what im after but its only a one way system. And when you look at the viper website it does not mention any of these products that we are talking about so is there a 2 way system without the R/S but with a D2D port onboard ?
My Daughter has a 2008 VW Beatle She wants a Remote Starter for the Winter. What Remote starter should she get installed and how much do you think it would cost?
Hey Anthony.. i have 2011 ford f150 has remote starter when i purchased it. just wondering its not working now i check the module underneath its idatalink and the remote starter module is smart start i think same with autostart. how can i reprogram again
Autostarts can be programmed manually if you have the instructions. The Idatalink module it's best to have it serviced at an authorized dealer as they might have to update the firmware.
Hi Anthony. I have a 2000 Toyota 4Runner and would like to install a car alarm/security system and probably with a remote start. What would be your recommendation as to which type system to install and will work for this type of vehicle? Thank you in advance.
@@AnthonyJ350 Thank you for your quick response! I wanted to install the Viper 4816V remote start unit. Would this be ideal for my vehicle or not so much? Thanks again!
What analog remote starter would you recommend I pair with a Fortin Evo all I recently installed it as a standalone remote start / alarm system but I'm having over crank problems when remote start is engaged they're not long they're at least a second or two long and I don't want to lose the starter in my '06 Daytona charger
I would look into Comoustar's DC3. It'll do everything for you in that vehicle. I find if you turn "tach sensing" off and make it crank for 2-4 seconds it works better. The car will not allow the starter motor to overcrank
Can someone swap out the DB3 for the idatalink AL-CA Immobilizer Bypass? I ask because i have a Stock FOB w/ Directed Brain 5x06, w/ Maestroo RR on my Pioneer NEX radio.
Idatalink makes a specific remote starter for your vehicle. You would have to ask them if they carry the product and are familiar with working with European vehicles.
Would you recommend the 4x10 for a 2005 Tahoe? I really like the stock key fob option vs having an aftermarket unit. I installed an avital 4103 on my 2000 silverado, w/dball2 and DSM200 smart start. I'm about to sell the truck and want to do another system on my Tahoe. I appreciate your input
You can do the 4X10 but you'll need the satellite relay pack to drive the ignition wires in that truck. I would do a standard brain like a 4206 for example and either do the DBall2 or IdatalinkCA integration modules to control the convenience and immobiliser.
AnthonyJ350 so, just run something similar to what i had in my old truck. I didn't hate the key fobs that came with the avital kit. They had a lot better range than the factory key fob.
Chad Oakley I would. The Viper key fobs are nicer than factory and are cheaper to replace. Directed Electronics makes both Viper and Avital as well as other marketed brands.
Do you have a video on dei products and idatalink DBI set ups? I've always done avital with dball but I want to start using the idatalink instead. Thanks
Hei, i have a question, my car have a presencial key fob, is a 2015 mini/bmw and i wold like to have one remote start, i live in Norway so can't come to Canada, and i don't need one alarm no one here will steal a mini. 🤣 but here winter is cold as well and i wold like to have something like that, for i don't have to go out and start the car in cold morning and as buss driver and finish late at night i like to have a worm car before drive home. My question is what dose aply better for me? Mini cooper 2015, manual transmition, with presencial key fob, 2 way and remote start, with range at 500 meters more less. I also like to thank you for this videos. Thank you very much!
Are there shops that do work like this in your area? That's a complicated install. The other option is plug in an engine block heater at night, that way when you start the engine it will warm up significantly faster.
Hi I have a 05 ram and I had a viper vss3001 with a 4x10 module installed and the installer could not get it to work. I have double checked the wires and everything looks good but still no luck. I don't have a chip in my key or a factory security system. Am I using the right system?
Early 05 I believe is thick gauge (did they use the relay pack which I don't like using) while the later half is thin gauge. Your truck might say 05 in the door but might be designated a 2006. If it calls for a relay pack I just use a regular analog Viper like a 4204 with a DBall. If it's the newer style (the headlights and dash are different) then use a 4X10. What's it doing?
+AnthonyJ350 yeah I have the relay pack. And I am pretty sure it is a 05. My problem is that I can get the light on the control center to flash but the horn does not chirp and the remote will not pair. I have replaced the 4x10 module because I thought it was bad but still no luck.
Terry howder jr Personally I'd use a regular Viper with a Dball, I've just seen issues with the relay pack. Not sure why your remote isn't programming. It's just a cable to the antenna, the 4X10 needs to see the door open during the programming sequence.
Terry howder jr Yup it will. All the 4 thousand brains from Viper are the same, just the remotes change. SmartStart works great with analog or digital remote starter systems or combos.
Thanks for sharing great video! I am not sure you will still check the comments in this video but I am having hard time underatanding about what product should I pair with viper smartatart VSM550. I am currently having 2012 Infiniti G37. I was wondering will Directed DB3 + Viper VSM would work on my vehicle or should I just spend more money and go for viper DS4VB + smartstart to be safe. Or do you have any better recommandation? Thank you.
@@조준영-n1u I use Drone for Compustar. I installed a few DS4s before and they're unstable. I like the old Viper 5X06vs, those units are bullet proof and I match them with a DB3 or Idatalink ALCA depending on the car.
@@AnthonyJ350 One more question. Which option would be better? Compustar 1-way remote start system + add on 2-way upgrade kit with LTE module? or get a all in one CSX remote start system/LTE module?
Hello anthony Can analog remote starter with old style keyfob insert bypass module be installed in can bus ignition system? Where can i find the thick gauge accessory and starter wires in those ignition sytems?
Can you possibly tell me how to get the horn to honk when I lock my truck on my 2015 Nissan Frontier with the Viper DS4+ remote start? The installer is new and looks lost so I just told him never mind.
You would have to reprogram the output and hook it up to the horn. You have to be an authorized Directed Electronics dealer because you need to login to do so.
@@danielk0106 That's weird, cause you can select the outputs when you program it. Tell them to call Directed tech support and they can help them figure it out.
@@AnthonyJ350 The one tech said he doesn't use the phone app to program them and I asked why not. He said too many vehicle applications and I told him yes but it allows you to select the make, model, year and even the firmware version. He asked how I knew and I told him I watched a DIRECTED.COM video on RUclips.

Hello I know this video is 4yrs old But I have a question I'm about to have a Viper alarm 5906V installed in my 2018 Chevrolet Express Cargo van and I already installed a IDatalink Maestro rr when I swapped out the head unit Now my question is which remote start module should I go with iDatalink - Data Bypass Module vs Directed DB3 module thanks
I would do Compustar's CM7000 with a Blade AL. It has the same dimensions as the Idatastart as the module plugs into the remote start and security brain.
@@AnthonyJ350 Thanks for your fast reply. I already have the Viper 5906V alarm, are you saying I shouldn't go with this Alarm and just go with the Compustar CM7000 with the Blade AL? Or am I mistaken I read that the Compustar CM7000 is an alarm too?
@@AnthonyJ350 I do not have it installed Yet , I just have this Alarm. I was told it needed the immobilizer module so I bought the Directed DB3 with it But had to send it back because they failed to flash it for me. I shipped it out Saturday and they won't see it till Thursday so I have some time to look at my options for the immobilizer
Sort of. Some vehicles you still have to install a hood pin and you have to hardwire, lights, horn and sometimes door pin for R.A.P. shut down. They also require dealer logins to program.
+Ray Gonzales I still do a lot of heavy gauge ignition vehicles. I just did a 2014 F-150 where it was thin gauge but a tradition remote starter with integration module did a better job than a purely digital unit. We're at a transition phase again. It's like in the early 2000's when you told people they have a chipped key, and 3/4 of the people thought you're making it up. Now it's about educating people that their computer controlled vehicle needs a digital based starter to work properly as opposed to the $98 special. Right product for the application. Installer just have to still know how to work relays and program for newer digital based vehicles.
In an attempt to have a better understanding of what makes a makes a remote start 'analog' vs 'digital' so I can determine which one my vehicle is, I've discovered there are very few references cataloging remote starters across the web including the manufacturers themselves as 'Digital' and 'Analog' Remote Starters .

Can you possibly tell me how to get the horn to honk when I lock my truck on my 2015 Nissan Frontier with the Viper DS4+ remote start? The installer is new and looks lost so I just told him never mind.
You would have to reprogram the output and hook it up to the horn. You have to be an authorized Directed Electronics dealer because you need to login to do so.
@@AnthonyJ350 That's the issue. They can't figure out which wire/s go to the horn. lol
@@danielk0106 That's weird, cause you can select the outputs when you program it. Tell them to call Directed tech support and they can help them figure it out.
@@AnthonyJ350 The one tech said he doesn't use the phone app to program them and I asked why not. He said too many vehicle applications and I told him yes but it allows you to select the make, model, year and even the firmware version. He asked how I knew and I told him I watched a DIRECTED.COM video on RUclips. He said he doesn't have time to look that type of stuff up and I asked him why every time I looked in the shop you were talking on your phone?
That's when I told him to forget it. It sat there for 3.5 hours for nothing.
@@danielk0106 I would try another shop
Hello I know this video is 4yrs old But I have a question I'm about to have a Viper alarm 5906V installed in my 2018 Chevrolet Express Cargo van and I already installed a IDatalink Maestro rr when I swapped out the head unit Now my question is which remote start module should I go with iDatalink - Data Bypass Module vs Directed DB3 module thanks
I would do Compustar's CM7000 with a Blade AL. It has the same dimensions as the Idatastart as the module plugs into the remote start and security brain.
@@AnthonyJ350 Thanks for your fast reply. I already have the Viper 5906V alarm, are you saying I shouldn't go with this Alarm and just go with the Compustar CM7000 with the Blade AL? Or am I mistaken I read that the Compustar CM7000 is an alarm too?
@@PeteyPablo408 The 5906V is a good unit (more for analog aplications). You said it's already installed though, and it doesn't remote start?
@@AnthonyJ350 I do not have it installed Yet , I just have this Alarm. I was told it needed the immobilizer module so I bought the Directed DB3 with it But had to send it back because they failed to flash it for me. I shipped it out Saturday and they won't see it till Thursday so I have some time to look at my options for the immobilizer
@@PeteyPablo408 Viper DS4 or the Compustar is better for your application honestly.
hood pin should be gray in color but it is taped up coming from the hood release grommet?
Yes we tend to black out wiring in the underdash or loom it black so it looks more uniform and blends with the factory wiring.
On the Ram's I take 3/4" loom and loom the wiring with the shifter cable so people don't notice it.
Whats the best remote start setup for a 2010 Toyota Tacoma
+TexCaliber Analog style starter like a Viper unit matched with an integration unit from Idatalink or Directed.
What would you use on a 2016 honda civic lx ?
Digital
What is the difference between Directed Electronics DBall2 and DB3?
DB3 is just the latest platform. DBALL2 is still being used though for some applications.
Thanks men.

Thanks for watching!
what is the best starter for a 2007 Lexus RX350?
Compustar
Is all viper remote start plug and play
Sort of. Some vehicles you still have to install a hood pin and you have to hardwire, lights, horn and sometimes door pin for R.A.P. shut down. They also require dealer logins to program.

Nice
I got a 2014 ram 1500
Go digital starter
The days of Alarm installation (1995-2000) are over...... ill keep the Youth with the Digital Age Employed from now on...
+Ray Gonzales I still do a lot of heavy gauge ignition vehicles. I just did a 2014 F-150 where it was thin gauge but a tradition remote starter with integration module did a better job than a purely digital unit. We're at a transition phase again. It's like in the early 2000's when you told people they have a chipped key, and 3/4 of the people thought you're making it up.
Now it's about educating people that their computer controlled vehicle needs a digital based starter to work properly as opposed to the $98 special. Right product for the application. Installer just have to still know how to work relays and program for newer digital based vehicles.
I KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING INSTALLED IN MY FIRST CAR!
+Khyree Holmes A remote starter installed by me?
+AnthonyJ350
Yes, you do very clean installs. I don't have a car just yet (and a license) I am working on getting my permit this year.
Khyree Holmes Cool! Well hopefully you learn from my channel so you don't have to make the mistakes I did before I learned about some of this stuff.
In an attempt to have a better understanding of what makes a makes a remote start 'analog' vs 'digital' so I can determine which one my vehicle is, I've discovered there are very few references cataloging remote starters across the web including the manufacturers themselves as 'Digital' and 'Analog' Remote Starters .
Is this essentially another way of saying....
Analog = High Current ignition = Key Start
Digital = Low Current ignition = Push Start (sometimes Key start?)
Push start (PTS) vehicles are always Low Current ('Digital') but Key Start can sometimes be as well (evident if the ignition wires are lower gauge)?
Yes that's absolutely correct
