iDatastart is the remote start line from iDatalink, the Montreal company behind the Maestro radio interfaces you'll find in half the aftermarket stereo installs in Canada. They've spent two decades reverse-engineering vehicle data networks, and it shows in how cleanly their modules integrate. They're one of the three brands we fit most, alongside Fortin and Compustar. Which one goes in your car depends on the vehicle, not on who we'd rather sell.

Have us install it at our Markham shop, or order the kit pre-programmed and install it yourself.
Book an appointment and we do the whole job: module, harness, programming, and a clean, hidden install by technicians who've been doing this since 2003. Every install is backed by our lifetime installation warranty. Remote starter installation from $280.
Order the kit and we pre-program it to your vehicle before it ships (most vehicles). Wiring diagrams included, and real people on chat, email and phone when you're under the dash. Free shipping on orders over $200.
The part numbers look like alphabet soup until you know the pattern. Here it is.
The vehicle-specific part. The suffix tells you the platform: HA for Honda and Acura, TL for Toyota and Lexus, GM for General Motors, CH for Chrysler group, NI for Nissan and Infiniti. Your vehicle's page tells you which one you need.
A dedicated remote where you want more range than a factory fob gives, or where your vehicle can't do 3xLock at all.
Vehicle coverage on North American and Asian makes is the broadest we work with, and the T-harness range is the largest of any brand we stock. If a plug-and-play harness exists for your vehicle at all, there's a good chance it's an ADS-THR.
The data integration is also the cleanest. Because iDatalink have been decoding vehicle networks for their Maestro radio products for twenty years, their modules tend to read things other brands can't, like fuel level, tire pressure and check engine codes, and pass them through to your smartphone controller.
More iDatastart solutions carry the ⭕ flag than any other brand we sell. That looks like a downside on the product page. It isn't.
KLON is a two-stage programming process that builds firmware unique to your vehicle using one of your existing keys. The result is no key sacrifice, no replacement keys, no dealer visit. On a modern vehicle where a spare key runs several hundred dollars, that's the difference between a remote starter that costs what it says and one that quietly costs $400 more.
The catch is the tool: finishing a KLON job yourself needs an ADS-USB. For most customers this never comes up, because we pre-program modules before they ship on most vehicles.
Remotes, harnesses and tools for the system you already own.
Replacement remotes for iDatastart systems, for a lost, broken or worn-out fob.
Add a remote with more range than your factory fob, antenna included.
The ADS-USB range, including the lower-cost ADS-USB-ECO and the ADS-USB-HUB with Mac support.
Already know your part? Browse and filter all of them.
Search the list above. If your vehicle is there, iDatastart is the kit we'd install ourselves. If it isn't, another brand is usually the better match. Search every brand and your vehicle page will show you our pick.
Yes. Current iDatastart modules like the CMHCXG0 work with DRONE Mobile, MyCar2 and SmartStart. See our smartphone controllers for what each one costs over time.
Usually not. We pre-program modules for your vehicle before they ship on most vehicles. You only need an ADS-USB if your solution is marked ⭕ KLON and you're finishing the install yourself. We stock the standard ADS-USB, the lower-cost ADS-USB-ECO and the ADS-USB-HUB.
On many vehicles, yes. With 3xLock you press lock three times on your factory fob and the car starts. Where a vehicle can't, its page says Key Fob Kit Required. For more range, add an iDatastart key fob kit.
The price on each kit includes our installation. Some vehicles also need a part made for that vehicle, such as a T-harness or a key fob kit. Your vehicle page shows everything your vehicle needs, and we confirm the price before you book.
Three to four hours for most vehicles, done the same day at our Markham shop. We'll confirm timing when you book.
No. Adding a remote starter doesn't cancel your factory warranty. A dealer can only decline a specific claim if they can show the installation caused the fault, which is why install quality matters and why we back ours for life.
Tell us your year, make, model and trim and we'll tell you which iDatastart kit we'd install, or whether another brand suits it better.
