Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good product. Easy installation. Great customer support by Omega!

This bypass module is a good value with many extra functions that I didn't need for this basic installation.

I installed this bypass module on my 2010 Focus. This was a simple installation on my Focus (once I was able to locate the vehilce's wire locations). That part took me longer than expected since this was my 1st remote starter installation.

I paired this Omega OL-MDB-ALL bypass module with a Viper 4103XV remote starter. After installation, I was performing the 3rd remote start (so that I could verify all of the safety shutdown operations) the engine shut off and set off the car alarm. I noticed that the LED light on the Omega had gone off. With the help of the Omega customer support techs, it turned out that the Viper was no longer communicating with the Omega module through the data port connection. Why the data port worked 3 times then failed is still a mystery.

The customer support for Omega is terrific! They were able to help me determine that the data bus from the Viper remote start was not sending good data to the Omega bypass module. I had to remove the data mode cable and install the hardwire connector. This was a easy switch out and I have had no other issues with my remote starter or this bypass module.

The customer support for Viper (Directed Electronics) is horrible!
They informed me that I was not an authorized installer and that they would not give me any information or assistance with the troubleshooting of the data port communication issue.

FYI: If you ever need to know which wire from the Viper 4103XV remote starter is the "grounded while running" ouput: It is the BLUE wire (Pin #1) on the 4-pin satellite harness. It is labeled "(-) 200mA STATUS OUTPUT". You will need to connect this wire to the Omega's "grounded while running" input when using the hardwire mode.

Good Deal

This product works very well. It was programmed and makes installation a breeze.

awesome product

Have used many of these and they never let me down.

Terrible

I order this bypass based off of the fact that it was plug and play after you got it "flashed". I gave them all the information that was needed and after the install the remote start did not work and now I have to spend more money to take it in and get it flashed again to work with my car.

Faulty or not Flashed

This ignition bypass was a promotion included w a remote start i ordered. It would not program to my PATS security system. It was supposed to arrive FLASHED for my 2000 F150 and would not program as required. It was returned to provider for a refund.

Excellent Product

I am very happy with the bypass. Works exactly as it's suppose to. I have to advise you though that if you are not familiar with installing alarms and things like this in newer vehicles that you take it to a professional to install for you. It took me about 4 or 5 hours of tedious work to install. You must ensure that all connections you make are rock solid (soldering is best). And you must ensure to connect everything correctly as to not cause permanent damage to you vehicle as you will be making connections to you cars ECU.

good idea

I love the product nd I also like the fact they flashed it be4 I got it made it easier 2 install in my car

Unit works great, be sure to doublecheck Sonic Electronix

I installed a Excalibur RS-251-EDP remote start with this security bypass because I wanted everything from one manufacturer (Excalibur and Omega are one in the same). I purchased from Sonic because they offered free programming and they are listed as an authorized retailer who if I purchase through Omega will honor my warranty.

My remote start works, but the journey to get here was somewhat screwed up in no small part thanks to Sonic Electronix. First when everything arrived the MDB-ALL was not programmed. You can tell if it was programmed or not by looking through your paperwork. If you don't have a sheet that lists the firmware installed to the unit it was not programmed. As such I had to mail it back to Sonic (At their expense) to get it reprogrammed. After a couple weeks I got it back.

While installing the unit I ran into an issue. I couldn't get the unit to work or power up, and I called Sonic Electronix for assistance. This was a sunday and I was expecting "Call back tomorrow morning" but instead I was given a number for Metra technical support. Metra makes stereo equipment, not remote starters.

I should mention that come monday I was able to call Omega support. They nailed my issue in under 5 minutes. I had missed a ground wire that the MDB-ALL diagram inferred was not necessary for my install. I pointed this out and Omega acknowledged this. After correcting the issue I've got a nice remote start.

If you're considering this product and you're thinking of doing your own install I would recommend paying the extra for the device programmer. While sonic electronix claims to program these devices as you read through the reviews you will see they miss a few. Also the programmers (especially the weblink module) will allow you to configure your devices without having to do the "flip ignition on then off, then press the system button, then press the brake" style programming.

Review

Great customer service, great product, great price and fast delivery. I would recommend them to friends

great unit

it is very easy to install and have good features for the price

Great product

I install this on my 2013 Mitsubishi Evo X together with Viper 5704, They work perfect. I install them all by myself, it provides all the integration you need, this module uses common interface with Viper so it saves me ton's of time and trouble. Have used it for 6 months, love it, no problems at all.

great product

i was a little skeptical as to whether or not the unit would come programmed as it shipped out so fast, but yes it was programmed and even came with a work order sheet of the job. this product was such a breeze to install and program to my keys... instructions were a little difficult to find but you can find them on the manufacturers website.

this was my fourth starter ive installed but the first one with factory anti theft in place and i was very scared of the install but i tell you with this unit it was an absolute breeze and will defiantly be buying this product again in the future...

Great Product! Worth the Money

I recommend this product because it does what it says. I purchased two of these units for a Chrysler 300 and a Chevy Cobalt for a Christmas present for my mom and daughter. I must say, after I had them installed, they work charmingly. The security feature is wonderful; if you get into your vehicle after you remote started the car and you forget to put the key in and accidently press the pedal, the car shuts down and the alarm starts up. Pretty cool feature! The remote works at a very long range as well. I am very please and so is my mother and daughter. I would definitely recommend this product. Thanks Sonic!

Premium remote start and alarm system

This product is awesome! I have been a big fan of Autopage and Viper products for some time now. Got a new vehicle, and decided to give this system a shot, and boy am I glad I did. There is so many features on this unit that you get. Installation and programming is much easier than a DEI products and less of a pain. Also got a great price on this unit thanks to one of the reps over the phone. Also, if you have any questions on the product you can contact the manufacturer and they are more than willing to answer your questions. unfortunately I cant say the same for Auto Page and Viper. Autopages customer service is non existent. DEI (Viper, Clifford, Python) They deny you any service if you are not an authorized installer or dealer, no matter if you purchased from an authorized source.

Over all, the hand held transmitter feels durable and solid, and feels premium in your hands

good deal

If price on the equipment was very good and I could not find anywhere else at that price so best deal I could find and I would recommend Sonic Electronix to friends

Great for the cost

This is a very nice alarm system for the money. You will need wiring diagrams for your particular installation and some patience if you've never installed one of these systems. (Wiring diagrams are your friend)

Excellent Value

I've been installing remote starts from Encore for a few years now and have nothing but good things to say about them. These modules interface well with Idatalink (or Omegalink) bypass modules communicating via data (D2D) saving a ton of wiring. The E9 module has nearly identical performance to Viper's 5706V. I like that the E9 uses coin cell batteries vs rechargeable because after a year or two the battery performance in Viper remotes has been greatly reduced. The E9 performs reliably with good range, my only complaint is that the main fob is a bit thick.

Does what it says

The alarm is great. Encore technical support is no existent. Because of that I wouldn’t recommend.

Good value

Worked just fine. Was installed by a professional installer. And cheaper than he can sell his.

My go 2 interface

I have been using Omegalink modules for 10 years and enjoy the way they integrate and the ease of install. Now that they can be operated as a stand alone RS unit with some vehicles it makes then a powerful weapon in the aftermarket world.

well worth it

I would use these on all my cars that I install remote starts in they are easy to hook up and work great (other then being programmed before they get shipped) I have not had any problems with the bypass mod I have ordered the ol-loader so I can start flashing myself

Great product, better customer service

A little intimidating to install looking at it but it's a very easy install depending on your vehicle. Read the installation and setup instructions before you start.

By Willie on February 2, 2017 Verified purchase

Works great.

Great product and a great value would recommend to friends. Will put one in my other vehicle also

Great security

Super easy to install. Works great. I would recommend. Best value for options it has

Remote Start Car Alarm

I got one of these for my gf as a xmas present. I messed up by opening the box. Come to find out it's a pretty damn nice looking alarm. I ended up having best buy throw it onto my truck. I love it. It has all the same features my snake brand (I forget which of the two it is) has but a hella nicer remote.

Great Value

Great product for a grear price. I had no problem having it installed.

Good buy.

Easy to set up, instructions included are semi vague but the have a more in depth manual on their website for install. Works great, range is good. Does the job.

Great Product

Works Very Well Just Like My AutoPage I Would Recommend People To Give This Alarm A Try.

Great place to find things you need

Iam very pleased with the product info it doesn't leave me clueless and I'm confident I'm getting the right item.

Omega OL-MDB-ALL

Excellent unit. Work great on my Plymouth neon. After searching and searching for the best bypass module. I couldn't pass this one up. I'd recommend it to anyone who has problems with transponder keys and ignition lock cylinder.

This was my second E9

I first bought the Encore E9 about 5 years ago and used it in my Armada. When I sold that truck, I uninstalled it and put it in the new van. That one worked pretty flawlessly up until the last few months. At that point, the antenna used to have to be reset occasionally to restore 2way when there was a wide temperature swing. Overall, well worth the $120ish it cost me. Now that I'm back to a new Armada, I went back and got a new E9. Just as I expected, it is still a quality piece with solid feeling remotes and a good interface with the idatalink module. The only thing I dislike is that some of the features that are on by default are annoying and need to be programmed off and that can be a little cumbersome with a push to start vehicle.
