Anyone get this thing installed yet and/or clarify which bypass module to use?

If installed, opinions and thoughts would be good, too.

update: got my refurb 5701 installed everything works great!!!! no flaws so far which ive heard of on the refurbed ones(bad brains,bad remotes,bad valet switches etc..)
Also got the 530t window module hooked up too and I LOVE IT!!!I'll play with it some more when it stops raining tomorrow

edit: only problem with the install was when we hit the windows to go up they would stop half way up,turned out that the windows track on the inside of the door panel needed to be greased BAD and that solved the problem

I don't doubt that it CAN work, but there has been some concern about whether or not you have to download software when you get it to make it work. Couldn't figure out what it comes pre-loaded with.

What's the window module do? I'm assuming roll down and up windows, but is it controllable or programmed to do something automatically when you start your car?

Oh, yeah...got mine and the bypass module. Waiting on install guy to get back to me now.

yes it's controllable, kinda hard to explain
you can crack (vent)them or just stop the windows where you want them or roll them all the way down

Ahh. Kinda cool.

Not very useful around here, though....lol. It's not all that often I need my car cooled off, and when I do the auto-start with climate control will cool it off anyway. Plus it rains and snows....nah, think I'll pass on that one.

Ok, just talked to my install buddy. He does this for a living and installs DEI stuff all the time.

He asked if I'd already gotten the bypass module. I said yes. He said, ok, see if you can send it back and get your money back. I don't need it. Passlock is all resistance and I can wire things around it easily.

So. Anyone want to buy an XK06? lol

He's doing it Friday night if my wife will agree to the time, for $100.

That's a deal. :Handshake:

Damn narco....I would have sold you my bypass for half that because apparently my install guy doesn't need it. He knows how to wire it up w/out the bypass. He said that's just a lazy way to do it and more money for DEI.

Getting mine done tonight. Good timing, too. We've got a cold/snow storm coming. Blizzard warning for tonight and tomorrow morning....good times in AWD. :D

i know but i needed it done now. so far it works fine. problem: check engine light is on. he told me that sometimes happens until the truck recognizes the system. hmm? i trust this installer...very straight up guy. only big concern is not w/ the check engine light on the truck is in overdrive right from the beginning. i can manually run it through 1st, 2nd, 3rd but if i put it in D its turning RPMS but barely moves. when im doing 50 or 60 and floor it the tranny doesnt downshift.

think this is just a coincidence or the install had something to do with it?

Oh wow. I can't even see how the starter could cause the tranny issues, unless it's just completely wreaking havoc on the computer. I can buy the check engine light thing for a few starts/restarts, but after that if it doesn't recognize it and the check engine light stays on I'd definitely get it diagnosed. See if it's throwing any codes and what they are.

I sincerely hope the starter is causing the transmission issues, I just have a hard time connecting them, though. Check your fluid....low tranny fluid can make them do really weird things.

On another note, my install just got postponed to Monday night because my installer's boss took in a couple of late installs and he's going to be at the shop late. Sooo...that's the price of using a friend and his garage. I'm at the whim of his schedule....lol.

Hard to argue with the timing.

Do you have any Autozone's, or Schuck's O'reilly's or whatever around there that can check your codes and tell you why the check engine light is on? It's gotta be pulling an error somewhere....that'd at least give you an idea if they are connected.

Not sure....we don't actually have any around here that do that, but I've read other posts where they are free.

That really sucks, The way electronics are tied into each other any more, you can't tell what caused it, Did you check all your fuses to make sure the installer didnt arc something during the install, I'm no mechanic, just throwin info out from experience in the past. AUto Zone and Advance will read codes for free but they are vague. I think sears does it also. I have a diablo sport tuner and it reads and clears my codes.
