has anyone installed the viper 791 i was wondering what wires i would need? some people have said that out of the 50 wires they used 17. if anyone has some info about the installation it would greatly help.

 

first off, if you buy that alarm you won't get the installation manual. Authorized dealers have it and normally won't give you a copy (last time i checked they didn't). But luckily I have one You're looking at at least 15-20 wires, anywhere from the door wires to the ignition for remote start, tach wire, horn wire (optional), trunk latch wire, clutch wire if manual, key security bypass wire, i think i got most of them.

 

well the good thing is i actually have the manual :D i found it on some other site
heres the link if anyone wants it.

 

Sigh I'm definately not putting my viper in my car now, anyone can dismantle it now. you shouldn't have posted that link.

 

eh sorry i was only tring to help.. it wasnt that hard to find.. and i dont think it aint that hard to find the other manuals for other security systems on the internet, hey you can find anything now days.

 

True, I guess since it's a few years old now it's practically common knowledge. But it was a pain when it came out to get.

 

lol i bought my viper 791xv for $150 new and installed for $40 its so great having hookups, the remote start was installed too! what a great alarm. the only thing now is to figure out how to activate the turbo timer when i get my turbo

 

short run/ turbo-

Short run turbo mode keeps the engine running after arriving at your destination for a programmable period of 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes. This allows the system's time to conveniently cool down the turbo after you have left the vehicle.
To activate:

1: Park the vehicle and set parking brake.

2: Remove your foot from the brake pedal and leave the engine running.

3: Press and release the( * ) and the (AUX) buttons at the same time.

4: The lights will flash to indicate the remote start has entered short run turbo mode.

5: Turn off the key, the engine will keep running.

6: The engine will turn off after the programmed run time.


does this help???

 

sweet, thnx. now i just gotta wait to get my turbo to test that out :p

 

hey what extra parts do you need to buy to install the remote start and alarm on a tC ? I need a immobilizer bypass don't i? but what is the exact model number? And do I need to buy anything to get the door locks to work properly?

 

a few questions about the short run /turbo.. do you have to do that everytime you are about to get out of the car? and you dont have to have a turbo to run that option, right?

 

oh also how do you program how long till the engine shuts off

 

i really dont know i havent tried it. but im sure you dont need a turbo to run the option tho i dont see y you would need if you dont have one.

 

damn i cant find the manual.... someone should know how to program it..

 

i did it before but it doesn't do it consistently...what you wrote is what it says in the manual but nothin on how to program it...also i do your headlights shut off when you get out of the car and arm your car... mine doesn't do that when its on short run/turbo...

 

the ways to program it are all used in the valet button. find the manual and read it there is so much stuff u can do with these alarms i got a python 881xp. awesome ____ remote windows, remote start 2 way paging the works.

 

you need a 555u (oor 556u, same thing) for the install as well.

and wtf? in the install manual is in the box. after my install they gave me the box with the leftovers in it, including the manual...

 

wait the 791xv can do the remote windows??????

 

not on the tC, atleast not with ease like a normal car... stupid safety bs.

 

i'm having my guy do the remote windows and sunroof, hopefully itll work.
