Hey Baum, Thanks for the info on the starter install. I have been too damn busy and haven't had time to doing anything yet, but have been reasearching. Couple questions on the idatalink. The pink wire, says "ignition input", does that one go to just the ignition switch harness, to the wire that shows B+ when ignition is turned on? So I could connect that in with the ignition wire for the remote starter. Or am I wrong? And for this step, correct me if I'm wrong, but I just need to locate this plug based on my vehicle and the wire colors listed previously in this manual, and then connect the RX and TX wires to their proper locations? So the only reason they show 6 different connectors is to cover multiple vehicles with one manual? Thanks for your help!!!

Good Evening, New here, just have some general questions. Family friend owns a 2007 Edge. They want me to install a remote starter for them. I'm not new to installing starters, in fact, I've done quite a few in my day, and have a vast knowledge of pretty much anything automotive. Just have some questions. They are looking at a type that is a one-button keypad that they can add to their key which has built in lock and unlock buttons. So install should be pretty straight forward. The only few things I want to make sure before I install.... 1)is there a hole in the firwall, or where would be an easy place to drill so I can get a couple wires through (hood pin and tach). 2)what bypasses seem to work the best for the ignition key transponder system? If needed, how do I get the ignition cylinder out? 3)talk to me about the tach signal, I read somewhere that it only goes to the cluster via the data line. Could I use a tach signal from a crank sensor or cam sensor? And where could I find these wires? Anyone ever install a remote starter in their edge? What sorts of things am I up against? Thanks for any info!!! ~Tim
