Would anybody be interested in a DIY Alarm/Remote start how-to on this vehicle? My girlfriend is picking her new 2011 xD up sometime Wednesday and I'm off Thursday, so I'll most likely be doing the install then if the bypass module comes in by then. It seems like a very easy install from the looks of the tech sheets. I was just wondering if there was enough interest for me to take the effort to record my install/explain things to make it worthwhile....

Was thinking about doing a comfort closure add-on.....window modules so on arm, or two clicks of the remote the windows roll up, and with an aux trigger windows can roll down or vent.

Yea, you have to purchase a door module 90% of the time....but if you're really hardcore you can do this wiring up your own relays etc....well seems like you're the only one interested, or else this is a really small community....anyways, I'll probably post one anyways in the hopes it'll become a sticky :P

But post it and I am sure we can get it stickied and someone somewhere my find it useful. The auto up window feature would be cool but my windows are up 90 percent of the time anyways unless it is at a show.

well it's already been installed and because the community didn't seem to be interested, I didn't bother taking video etc....however, on sunday I plan on adding the window modules I've been slacking on, so when add those I can go through which wires I had to connect, their locations, and I can explain the only difference in procedure when installing a remote start on a manual.
