Need help identifying remote starter
Hello guys and girls, I'll start by wishing everybody a Happy New Year!
Now on to the main point. I bought my car a couple of months ago. It has a remote starter that was installed by the first owner. I'm now the third owner and the previous one didn't have the remote(s) for the starter. I've been trying to find out online what brand or model it is, and even went to a garage that sells remote starters. but so far, no luck. The garage told me it's most likely not one of theirs.
So here's a few shots to help. Forgot to take one of the antenna, will come back with that tomorrow. There is nothing I can see that will help me figure it out. Only have a serial number and the model of the attached module, which seems to be an iDatalink. There was a sticker on the antenna, but it's not there anymore. It does say "Made in Canada", so I might not be able to get help from our American friends.

directstart remote starter trouble - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
turns out to be a knockoff product? which is why most installers dont deal with the brand.

stevemk07: Yeah that was my first search. Which is why I said it was most likely an iDatalink.
01acls: That looks a lot like it, I'll see where it could have been installed. Thanks a lot!
Last couple of days were really cold in my area, could have used the remote starter.
