The Firstech DR-HRN-4PDA is a specialized integration harness designed to bridge the gap between DroneMobile telematics modules and iDatastart (ADS) remote start systems.
Its primary function is to allow you to add smartphone control and GPS tracking to a vehicle that is using an ADS-AL-CA (or similar iDatastart) bypass module as a standalone remote starter.
Key Features & Functions
-
Smartphone Control Upgrade: Transforms a standard “3x Lock” remote start system (where you start the car by pressing the factory key fob lock button three times) into a smart system controllable from anywhere in the world via the DroneMobile App.
-
Direct Data Connection: Connects directly between the DroneMobile module (e.g., X1, DR-5400) and the data port of the ADS-AL-CA bypass module.
-
Power & Ground Integration: It provides the necessary power and ground connections to the DroneMobile unit directly from the bypass module, eliminating the need to run separate hardwires to the vehicle’s battery or fuse box in most applications.
-
Seamless Integration: Allows the bypass module to act as the primary remote start controller, saving the cost and complexity of installing a separate remote start brain (like a Compustar CM900) just to get app control.
Compatibility
-
Telematics Modules: Compatible with Firstech DroneMobile systems (e.g., Drone X1, X1-MAX, DR-5400).
-
Remote Start Modules: Specifically designed for iDatastart ADS-AL-CA and similar all-in-one bypass/remote start modules flashed with compatible remote start firmware (RS firmware).
Installation Notes
-
Plug-and-Play: The harness typically features a 4-pin connector that plugs into the telematics port of the ADS module and a connector for the DroneMobile unit.
-
Firmware Requirement: The ADS module must be flashed with the correct “RS” (Remote Start) firmware that supports telematics input for this harness to function correctly.
