Step 1: Determine a mounting location
  Find a discreet and secure mounting location for the module. Make sure 
the module is free from moisture, excessive heat, direct sunlight,  or moving 
vehicle parts. Keep cellular signal strength in mind. This system uses the GSM 
cellular network to communicate with the CarLink servers. 
TIP: Make note of a mobile phone’s signal strength in an open area inside the vehicle cabin. 
Then hold the phone in your chosen mounting location to see if there is any negative effect on 
service. Adjust the mounting location if necessary.
- Mount at least 12 inches away from the radio and speakers. The cellular trans-
missions of this device could cause radio interference.
- DO NOT SECURE THE DEVICE YET
Step 3a: Connect the device - DIGITAL (typical install)

to compatible Omega systems. Any Omega system that supports the iDatalink 
data protocol also supports carlink as a plug-in upgrade. This includes all BLADE 
compatiblesystems(besurethesystemisupdatedtothelatestrmware).

GREEN 4-pin data connector:
   STEP 1: Before connecting this to the host system’s data port, be sure that the 
system is programmed for “iDatalink protocol”. See the system’s programmable 
features for more information. BLADE systems will automatically switch to the 
iDatalink protocol when a BLADE cartridge is inserted.  
   STEP 2: Connect the data connector to the host system and wait for the indica-
torlightstoshowproperconnectivity(see“Checkindicatorlights”onpage4). 
   STEP 3: Activate the host system’s remote start function with the original 
remote.  This will synchronize the start/stop functions of the Carlink system for 
proper operation. You don’t have to allow the remote start to completely start. 
You can simply activate it then shut it down within a few seconds.
