Installing Viper 791xv Alarm

So, anyone ever attempted this yourself? Just wanted to know if factory alarm is gonna be in the way of this. In middle of installing Viper 791vx and it's not going so well. Remote start won't work (it will crank a couple times), and lights don't flash. Not having much luck with support from Online store.

Here's more info: Factory alarm---well, i don't know if you all tested yours to make sure it works, but i know mine doesn't. I just have a pretty red light that flashes, and all my button is good for is keyless entry and back window down.

Bought this back in March certified used @ 52K miles, and I and a friend installed: Kenwood kvt 815 HeadUnit (DVD LCD), Ceiling 10.2" widescreen LCD DVD, License plate frame rear cam ( can't see when ceiling LCD is flipped down.) Been slacking on the alarm. So I am pretty OK with tearing it up and making it look and work like it was professionally installed, but now we're just stuck. any help would be greatful. thank yous in advance.

Ok, I Put one in three days ago, I'm a mobile installer at best buy and I am really good at putting these systems in.
My 05 took me 3 hours to do, because I did it outside in the parkinglot at 10 pm using a flashlight... ohhh the fun and joy..


A) I hope you have a BYPASS Unit,
Where you have a LOOP that you put over where the key gets put into the ignition, and you hide a key inside the box.

B) That loop, if you wired it up has to be perfectly over the ignition area.

C) before remote starting it, you have to have the alarm learn the tachometer. So you need the tachometer wire attached, the whole remote start module has to be connected and you put the key in the ignition, turn the truck on and press the valet button, if the blue LED light stays on constant, it learned the tachometer.

D) You cut the starter wire in half, and the green side of the relay pack goes to the key side, and the purple side goes to the starter side.

E) Make sure you hook up the Disarm with no Unlock wire, because if you don't the truck will factory arm itself, and when you remote start the truck 20 minutes later after you lock the truck, with either system (factory and aftermarket) the truck horn will go off, because it thinks that someone is stealing it.

F) There is a jumper on the brain of the alarm, where you can select Positive or Negative output of the parking light flash, MAKE SURE you have the correct one, otherwise it won't work!

I hope that helps!
I included the wiring color codes that you need to look for incase you get lost.

Worse comes to worse, Take it to a best buy or circuit city or somewhere where they know how to do alarms and remote starts. (make sure they know what the heck they are doing because they can screw it up also)


Here are the wires you need to find in your truck to get the remote start to work, and security system:



12volts white - white/red + ignition harness
Starter green/black or black + ignition harness
Ignition black/yellow + ignition harness
Second Ignition blk/red + ignition harness
Accessory blue/red + ignition harness
Power Lock brown/white - plug below fuse box
Notes: The door lock wires will meter while turning the key in the passenger door key cylinder.
Power Unlock grn/yel & blu/yel - plug below fuse box
Notes: The door lock wires will meter while turning the key in the passenger door key cylinder.
The green/yellow wire is the key cylinder unlock wire, the blue/yellow wire is the unlock detection wire. Use both wires and diode isolate
Parking Lights + green dimmer or harness to rear
Parking Lights - red/white light switch or column
Door Trigger lt. green/black - Notes: behind drivers side junction block in a 13 pin plug.
Dome Supervision use door trigger -
Trunk/Hatch Pin lt. green/red - driver kick 22 pin plug
Hood Pin green/orange -
Notes: drivers side firewall in a gray 26 pin plug.
Factory Alarm Arm arms with lock
Factory Alarm Disarm disarms with unlock
Disarm No Unlock yellow/red - steering column
Notes: This is the ignition key sense wire. Using the status output wire from the remote start to ground this wire will disarm the alarm without unlocking the doors.
Tachometer black
Notes: located in the diagnostic plug on the drivers side of engine compartment.
Wait to start
Brake Wire green/white + at switch
Interface Module: Category:
Immobilizer Bypass Required:
Yes Type:
Transponder
Part #: 555XW
Alternate Part1 #: 556UW
Alternate Part2 #: 555U
 
hey thanx,

we'll take a look tomorrow and check things over. i have a feeling the wiring schematics you listed aren't the same as on this sheet i have from Circuit City install bay. You sure an 05 is same as mine 00? again, thanx.
 
If yours is a 2000 toyota 4runner, that's right.


I got it off Directed electronic's website, Directechs.... I searched for your truck

:) Blah at circuit...

yeah you need to take your time, they are complicated things, but once you done so many they just take time finding the wires.

My 05 has a completely different wiring setup.
 
ok, remote start works now. everything works now, except the lights they don't flash, and tailgate sensor. doubled checked all the wirings, seems all in order.

Ok, the parking light wire, the white one has a red fuse on the wire, That is probably the issue. Check that red fuse, I think it's 10 amp. That can blow if you wire it up wrong.
 
nope, not it. i think i'm just gonna have to recheck all the wires again and do a little more voltage testing other possible wires. thanx.
