Installation And Testing Guide
If you have not already, visit omegacarlink.com and register as a Carlink
dealer for access to install tesng and conguraon tools. Sooner is
beer since registraons are processed manually and are not instant.
Keep track of the SIM number located on the card included with this
system. It is needed to test / acvate the deivce later.
Choose a discreet yet ideal mounng locaon for the module. This
is a cellular device and performance is dependant on cellular signal
strength.
Route wiring from the mounng locaon and make all necessary wiring
connecons - SEE “CONNECTING THE DEVICE” ON PAGE 2.
Aer a few minutes, check the indicator lights to make sure the unit
has cellular service. Both the green and orange lights should be on
solid.
Login into your dealer account at omegacarlink.com to acvate the de-
vice, congure the installed opons, and perform the installaon test.
Be sure to have the SIM number available.
Complete the installaon by reassembling the vehicle’s interior.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to give the acvaon code and app info to the
vehicle’s owner. For more info, see the dealer portal guide by logging in
to your dealer account at omegacarlink.com.

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)
 Thisdeviceisinitiallyconguredtooperateasasimpleplug-inupgrade
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
compatiblesystems(besurethesystemisupdatedtothelatestrmware).

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-
torlightstoshowproperconnectivity(see“Checkindicatorlights”onpage4).
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.

This system can be installed as a stand-alone system or to control ana-
log activation inputs on an older host system that does not support the iDatalink
protocol for CarLink. To be connected this way, you will need to cut off the
GREEN 4-pin data connector.
NOTE: As an analog system, it cannot report alarm violations but it will still give 2-way conr-
mations for all control functions.
BLACK Ground wire (required):
This provides chassis ground to the device. It should be connected
directly to the metal structure of the vehicle. Strip the end of the wire and crimp
on the supplied ring terminal. Route this wire to a solid grounding point, like an
existing bolt in the vehicle and securely ground the wire.

RED Constant power wire (required):
This is the power supply wire to the device. It must be connected to a
FUSED constant +12V source. This can be found in the ignition switch harness,
a fuseblock, or at the vehicle’s battery. Be certain that this wire has +12V under
all circumstances and when the ignition key is in the ON and OFF positions.

Upon successfully completing the installation tests successfully, you will be3.
given a 4 digit activation PIN for the vehicle owner. WRITE THE PIN IN THE
SPACE PROVIDED ON THE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE. You can also
send the PIN to the vehicle owner by email or SMS text message.
If you know the phone number and carrier of the vehicle owner’s smart-4.
phone, you can push the mobile app to their phone via SMS text. They can
alsoeasilyndtheappintheirphone’sappstore/marketplace.
Step 8: Complete the installation
 Aftersuccessfullycompletingtheinstallationcongurationandtest,se-
curely mount the module in the selected location with tie straps, high grade hook
& loop tape, or any other reliable mounting method, and reassemble the vehicle’s
interior.
BE SURE TO GIVE THE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE TO
THE VEHICLE OWNER. THEY CANNOT ACTIVATE OR USE
