as a professional car audio installer ill tell you that you did not do a bad job and this video is definitely going to be helpful to the diy people but there are certain things you could do to make it better like organizing, cutting and tapping all the alarms wire to come out of one harness that is just to look clean and oem another major thing is that the 12v tester is Not recommended to install alarm as they can mess up the newer cars the best tool would be a dmm.
Yes, you can very easily do it yourself. All you need is one of those little wire testers to see which wires have power, and when they have power. And sense you've already worked with car audio stuff you'll be just fine. I didn't have any formal training when I did my first alarm, Just a background in car audio just like you. (This particular video is my 3rd alarm install.)
Yes, it tells you which wires have electricity, and when. (for finding the positive door wires) I linked one in the video description for you. Its very inexpensive.
Thanks for your input. Like you stated, there are lots of ways and places to install alarms. I chose the best for this vehicle and situation. Everyone watching is free to place their computer and siren where they wish. Hopefully this video gave them the basics of the install process.
I just googled 'wiring scheme' for the particular car i was working on and would be able to find it that way. Or, if you make a little slit in the wire and stick your probe (the little light up gizmo i was using in the video) into the wire, its the wire that has power when the door is opened. Just make sure to cover the slit with electrical tape after you discover which one it is.
You only need a bypass model (for a remote start system) If you key is 'chipped'. A way of getting around the bypass model is to keep a spare key zip tied somewhere underneath the dash, but that could compromise the security of your car.
Best buy is way good with their warranty and stuff. If they mess something up they'll fix it. Ive been impressed with them in the past. Youll be just fine using them.
The hardest part is identifying the correct wires in your car. But other than that, it isnt too bad. If you have any experience with car audio systems it'll be pretty similar.
I think they are fantastic. Its pretty much the same procedure as a car alarm, and they cost just about the same. Amazon has the best deals on the DIY kits, so check there first. My truck is a manual though, so i haven't really gotten around to finding a system that works with it.
It depends on how they have it wired. You would just have to go in, and unconnected all of the starter wires, and reconnect them as they were before the system was installed. (All the colored wires should match back up with themselves.) It'll take you an hour or so.
You shouldn't need any diodes. The pulse only goes one direction, and only attaches to one wire, so you'll be fine just tying straight into the wire. (Thats how the instructions tell you to do it anyway.) Diodes wouldnt hurt, but you dont need them either.
No, Most likely not. Youll have to look up the wiring schematic for your vehicle. If you google it, youll find a PDF or something you can look at that will tell you.
Thanks for the video. Very well explained. A very good choice of wire strippers too. Thanks for the little install tips too! A great way to get through the firewall.
Sensitivity might be turned the wrong direction? Same thing with your wires. You might have them attached backwards. That way when the door sensor closes it trips the alarm instead of the other way around.
You should only need the same wires that i used in this video. At some point during the video (towards the end i think...) I show which wires i didnt use.
Its super hard to know what you are talking about without being there. Each car has different colored wires. If you find the schmatic online, and have that little wire testing tool (that i put in the video description), you should be able to figure it out.
Jose Granado Nice! Its a fun project. Gets a little complicated at times... but when you finally finish its awesome having. Mine is still working great.
I'm installing a similar model(3305v) in my 95 jeep wrangler, so I'll be using a minimal setup. I just wanted to confirm, the optional sensors(this would include power locks, truck release, etc for my application) do not need to be terminated or grounded or anything other than be tucked away nearly if not used? I would really only be wiring in the shock sensor, doors open/closed, the starter/ignition cutoff, and the siren. Great tip with fishing the wire through the firewall!
Nice! I just bought a Jeep as well. Love those things. Anyway, to answer your question, yes, you can just tuck them away and not use them at all. Id put electrical tape around the ends to make sure they don't accidentally connect to anything metal. Have fun man, let me know if you have any other questions.
Love the video, but the instructions for the newer one now says do not use a 12-volt test light to find wires to power the unit. I'm really wondering why they don't want you to use one.
Thanks for the video. I have purchased the one you linked to and have been looking into installing it myself, but I have very little wiring experience outside of audio equipment (car stereo and speakers) so would not consider myself qualified at all. Everyone I talk to thinks I should just save up and pay a shop to do it but I feel like I could figure it out given enough time... as someone with experience with this specific system, do you think I could do it correctly without prior experience?
It would take a thief 10 minutes with the right tools to open up the dash panel of that car. Longer if he wants to keep it in good condition. This is assuming that the thief has already studied out HOW to open this particular dashboard. (Every dash is different.) You are looking at the end result and working backwards. A thief, randomly coming upon this car, would not know a single thing. Granted, there are a million places to install a car alarm. This is a RUclips walk through.
I enjoyed your video. I am looking for the installation on a viper 800esp. We bought the Freight liner and now it wont start . The person I bought the truck from didn't know it had a alarm and we are down til I can get some instruction and freight dosen't wait. We removed the controller but not sure what wires goes to the ignition
great video....I do a lot of backpacking in Montana..Not really a big problem with theft but thought if I had like a simple motion detector alarm at least that might make a robber think twice if an alarm goes off when he gets inside truck. Any simple motion detector out there. Don't really want to wire things together. --thanks!!
look into a 12 ga perimeter alarm. it uses a 12 shotgun blank. makes more people look than a car alarm. looking into setting up an actuator from an alarm to set one off, good fun. fith ops maks em
At 10:57 you pointed at the rear view mirror and it sounded like you said , "the thing up here posted". What is that on the rear view mirror. Is it the receiver? The receiver on my alarm is under the dash, but I have always had to be within a couple of car lengths for the alarm to turn on and off. Was it installed in the wrong place? My vehicle is a 1997 Chevy Suburban 1500 LS with an alarm system that came with the vehicle. Last week I left the dome light on and ran the batter dead. I connected a slow charger to charge the battery, but the alarm, which was set before the battery went dead, continuously kept going off. I then use the "start mode" on a battery charger to start my Suburban. The alarm and auto door locks stopped working. I let the engine run for an hour to charge the battery. After I turned off the engine and the alarm started going off again and would not turn off and I could no longer start the vehicle. I had to pull the fuse to the alarm and hold down on a button under the dash to start the Suburban. Do you have any idea how to fix something like this?
Thanks for your reply, have you ever installed the autopage RS1100 alarm ? If you did, do you have any videos on how to install one? Thank you and do you know if the alarm systems comes with bypass module ? Or you have to buy it separately? Thank you !
Jerrybl hey man great vid. I'm in the middle of an install now. The Problem I'm having is all the colors you've mentioned are not the same as this alarm. (DNA silver 2way car alarm system.) Maybe you've had experience with one or how to decipher wire color codes/functions. Any help from anyone is much appreciated. Thx
Please correct me if I'm wrong. This product will is a car alarm in case someone tries to steal it the car and you can also unlock/lock the car with the remote. And does it just unlock the driver's door or all the doors and trunck?
Hey man, I just bought a new Grand Cherokee (my model/packageIt did not come with a Factory Alarm). I was advised to buy a Viper and have it installed at Best Buys (since the Viper is top-rated and has a life time warranty) and since Best Buys warranties their work). I don't mind spending a little money....would you recommend doing this? My new car is so pretty, I don't want anyone to F... it up, do anything to affect the factory Warranty, or do something to interfere with my current remote? Thx
Hi, Just had it installed on Xterra 02 however I cant still manage to have it configured to lock or unlock the doors while the car is running. Currently if the car is Running and I press the unlock button, it will take like 3 seconds to unlock and if I need to lock the doors, it Activates the Alarm while the car is running. Any help to get this done? My car doesnt have a powerlock so all doors must be unlocked by the alarm remote. thanks
I bought a viper 3203 and I'm installing it on a 2008 Chevy Silverado... what wires don't I need to use? It is a extended cab with the back doors that open from the inside when the front doors are open...
Hi, I Have a Viper 5806v and it is its first power up. I have power to the unit (6pin 12VDC+), ground continuity confirmed, fuse is good. I was attempting to pair the remote for the first time, however following the guide I get zero from th control centres- literally no lights/ nadda nothing at all - what can I check methodology. when the system is powered for the first time i should be getting something?
I have a question i'd like to install the system only to lock/unlock (is there a way to access the 2 wires of lock/unlock through the endpoints (i do not like to expose the cables
I have an 08 pathfinder. I'm trying to wire in my remote starter. My car has negative door locks. The door lock switch has a one wire communication line that goes to the bcm and the bcm reverses polarity. Can I wire in a 5 wire relay straight to the driver door lock actuator to reverse polarity. And will it affect the operation of the bcm?
I've got a Santa Fe of the same vintage. Factory alarm for some reason goes off during the middle of the night randomly :( Since it seems you've gotten in there already, do you know if there is a way of disabling the factory alarm?
I'm a little confused about what's going on with testing the wires. Why is it that touching them is making the doors unlock? Is he supplying power to them?
I HAD MY VIPER 5104 ONE WAY SECURITY REMOTE START SYSTEM INSTALLED AT AUDIO EXPRESS ON MY 2003 MALIBU, WORKS FINE FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND WENT OUT, I MEAN ITS HAS NO POWER NO RESPONSE, SO ONCE I A GREAT WHILE ITLL TURN ON N WORK FOR ABOUT A WEEK N GOES OUT AGAIN, SO I DONT WTF HAPPEN TO IT, TOOK IT IN LIKE 2 TIMES STILL DOES THE SAME THING I GAVE UP N NOW JUST USE REGULAR FACTORY KEY FOB. IDK
2008 DODGE CHARGER WITH TIPSTART, VIPER 5704V ALARM WITH IDATALINK ADS AL-CA BYPASS MODULE (DBI-AL(RS) PROGRAMMING...DO I NEED A RESISTOR ON PARKING LIGHT WIRE? AND WITH WIRES SO SMALL ON IGNITION HOW CAN I INSTALL STARTER RELAY? SHOULD I T-TAP IT? THANKS
Hi I have a 2003 civic si with a viper alarm. Today I had a locksmith re key my driver door lock. Now I'm noticing my driver window button light stays LIT EVEN WITH CAR OFF AND NO KEY IN IGNITION . WHY WOULD THAT BE?
I have a quick question, I have a viper alarm on my car and its tripping meaning that when I lock the doors it don't lock but when I unlock the doors it locks smh and now my remote start don't want to keep the car running it cuts off then it trys to start again. So I bring it to a audio shop and they say It's the module so I just bought a used one off eBay the same exact one I have 5900, my question is, is it plug and play or do I have to get it programed. Thanks
upfront9thward You should be able to plug and play, (If it came with its own remotes) But if you are using your own remotes, you might have to reprogram it.
I'm trying to figure out how to hook up the wires. I've located the two cables (pink and orange) cables running from the switch on the driver door to the switch on the passenger. Once i figure out if mine is normally open or closed to I hook up that wire to one and the common (output) to the other?
I had work done on my engine a while back and because they had the power disconnected for a long while my viper remote starter lost its programming. I can still lock and unlock / arm and disarm my vehicle so the modudle us still active. I checked and the on /off switch for the remote start is still on. Could you tell me how to program the remote start portion of the modudle. Car: 2011 dodge nitro heat. Remote starter: Viper 5900 with 2 way remote that has diagram of vehicle on remote. Not the newer 5901
Wish they would realize that not all cars has the same panels and the they would just get to the point by point to proceed the path of the needed installation
so the wiring should just b the same color codes for mostcars? I have a 93 caddy Fleetwood I wanna put this in and basically just tap into the ignition wire and doors and ground?
Wire harnesses and colors are different for pretty much every single model of car. You will need to look up the wiring diagram for your particular vehicle.
I have a ghost viper automatic start..the installer did the auto start for me but wanted extra to so the alarm park..is hooking the the siren still the same in my situation?
So I installed my alarm on my 79 lesabre and connected every wire to the accessories that it has (no power accessories), so basically just the power, siren, ignition and parking lights. the problem is I get no reaction at all from the unit. no chirps, no led, no indication that there is power. the fuses are not blown by the way, and tested current and has power. What could be wrong? Missing something perhaps?
I got a question sir... so I disconnected the battery and somehow my Viper alarm is not working the same... what should I do to make it work like before? Thanks in advance. Pls answer🙏
From installing an alarm system to building an electric Hummer! Now that's progress and success! Cheers! 🍻

Hey Zack I have a question about my 02 Santa Fe. I'm trying to do a remote start too but my ignition and starter wires are the same color. Any ideas?
Yes, it tells you which wires have electricity, and when. (for finding the positive door wires) I linked one in the video description for you. Its very inexpensive.
I did not expect you to be the guy teaching me how to do this right now but I couldn’t have asked for anyone better, thanks Zack!
Thanks for your input. Like you stated, there are lots of ways and places to install alarms. I chose the best for this vehicle and situation. Everyone watching is free to place their computer and siren where they wish. Hopefully this video gave them the basics of the install process.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.

Thank you for explaining how the yellow, orange, black, and green wired relay goes 👍
It depends on how they have it wired. You would just have to go in, and unconnected all of the starter wires, and reconnect them as they were before the system was installed. (All the colored wires should match back up with themselves.) It'll take you an hour or so.
You are a life saver! I was confused about the relay this alarm came with. Turns out its for the start interrupt. Thanks man!
No problem! Glad I could help!
Hey Man, me again (Grand Cherokee). You're a good man for taking your time to create these videos. Rock on brutha!!!!!!!
haha i remember watching this video a few years back before i started my mobile car audio & security installation. its a very good video.
jack diamond Nice! That garage was sooo cold. I did this installation in the middle of winter.
You shouldn't need any diodes. The pulse only goes one direction, and only attaches to one wire, so you'll be fine just tying straight into the wire. (Thats how the instructions tell you to do it anyway.) Diodes wouldnt hurt, but you dont need them either.
Its very similar. Make sure to pull up the wiring scheme for your mazda 6 (to tell what wire does what) Then its the exact same as what i did here.
No, Most likely not. Youll have to look up the wiring schematic for your vehicle. If you google it, youll find a PDF or something you can look at that will tell you.
Thanks for the video. Very well explained. A very good choice of wire strippers too. Thanks for the little install tips too! A great way to get through the firewall.
having issues with my viper alarm. this appears to be the only video out there and as i'm watching it i realize who it is. I would never have guessed!
Sensitivity might be turned the wrong direction? Same thing with your wires. You might have them attached backwards. That way when the door sensor closes it trips the alarm instead of the other way around.
This is something I want to try I never done a alarm but the way you show it I think I can do it my self
I've had my Viper 350 model for years and its never failed me! i chose to not have the remote start and just got the pager 2 way.
Went from this to phone take down vids, great improvement!
It is pretty complicated, so only try it if you think you can do it. You could cause a lot of damage to your vehicle if you cut the wrong wires.
You should only need the same wires that i used in this video. At some point during the video (towards the end i think...) I show which wires i didnt use.
Its super hard to know what you are talking about without being there. Each car has different colored wires. If you find the schmatic online, and have that little wire testing tool (that i put in the video description), you should be able to figure it out.
good work! very clean. I just purchased a viper alarm and plan on installing it myself. good video!
Jose Granado Nice! Its a fun project. Gets a little complicated at times... but when you finally finish its awesome having. Mine is still working great.
Well I'm glad to see your making use of it. Thanks again for your contribution of knowledge.

JerryRigEverything I just noticed your oil change video, nice rig! I see we also share the same barber! Where are you located?
lol, my barber rocks. I'm in Utah.
Right on, i'm next door in denver
I lived in Denver about 10 years ago. Great place.
not the preferred way but it works! bench prep is the key in an alarm installation.
Figured out my issue. This video helped out significantly

Very Nice Video, have you ever had an experience with AutoPage RS1100 ? Looking to install in my mazda 6 . Is it like same type of procedure ?
bro, thanks for the video, i saw 20 videos and nobody shows where they put the f***** horn.
thanks a lot
Im not sure what you are asking. The car started automatically when you pushed the clutch in?
great video....I do a lot of backpacking in Montana..Not really a big problem with theft but thought if I had like a simple motion detector alarm at least that might make a robber think twice if an alarm goes off when he gets inside truck.

What year tacoma? I have a 2004 I’m about to tackle. Wish me luck. Did you have any trouble?? Where did you get your wiring diagrams?
Thank you; nice job. You decided against installing a remote starter?
I didnt realize that the remote start/keyless entry was the same price when I bought the keyless entry. I wish I would have. Maybe on my next truck.
Nice job. Thanks.
Glad i could help!

Wondering what wire I would connect a 200mA channel 2 wire output to in a 2008 for crown Victoria? Or alternatively what else beside a wire. Thank you
So I'm not sure . Did you wire the remote start... And if so did you use a bypass module????
This car did not use the chipped keys, so I did not need to install a bypass module.
I have a question
i'd like to install the system only to lock/unlock
(is there a way to access the 2 wires of lock/unlock through the endpoints (i do not like to expose the cables
i would like to see a mitsubishi lancer get one installed. thanks.
i just bought my first remote start w/alarm. looking forward to the install. any tips?

I would love to see you do that on a 2005 BMW 7 series
good video! should help me out alot!
I'm a little confused about what's going on with testing the wires. Why is it that touching them is making the doors unlock? Is he supplying power to them?

I am not sure about the reprograming, they should have a website with a downloadable user manual though. You can try there.
JerryRigEverything ok thanks
I'm trying to figure out how to hook up the wires. I've located the two cables (pink and orange) cables running from the switch on the driver door to the switch on the passenger. Once i figure out if mine is normally open or closed to I hook up that wire to one and the common (output) to the other?
I had work done on my engine a while back and because they had the power disconnected for a long while my viper remote starter lost its programming. I can still lock and unlock / arm and disarm my vehicle so the modudle us still active. I checked and the on /off switch for the remote start is still on. Could you tell me how to program the remote start portion of the modudle.
Car: 2011 dodge nitro heat.
Remote starter: Viper 5900 with 2 way remote that has diagram of vehicle on remote. Not the newer 5901
Wish they would realize that not all cars has the same panels and the they would just get to the point by point to proceed the path of the needed installation
Viper 5704v works with manual transmission
so the wiring should just b the same color codes for mostcars? I have a 93 caddy Fleetwood I wanna put this in and basically just tap into the ignition wire and doors and ground?
Wire harnesses and colors are different for pretty much every single model of car. You will need to look up the wiring diagram for your particular vehicle.
The horn wire can you hook it to your horn on the car
What did you do with the Orange ( Ground When Armed Output) wire???
I have a ghost viper automatic start..the installer did the auto start for me but wanted extra to so the alarm park..is hooking the the siren still the same in my situation?
Hey man my remote broke now icant start the car. Can you tell me how to take out the alarm? Its a 2006 nissan altima
Watch this video in reverse.
Dang how time fly’s
For the door how do you find out what wires you need?
So you test with sensors?
nd do you need that stick that you were touchin the wires with
So I installed my alarm on my 79 lesabre and connected every wire to the accessories that it has (no power accessories), so basically just the power, siren, ignition and parking lights. the problem is I get no reaction at all from the unit. no chirps, no led, no indication that there is power. the fuses are not blown by the way, and tested current and has power. What could be wrong? Missing something perhaps?
I got a question sir... so I disconnected the battery and somehow my Viper alarm is not working the same... what should I do to make it work like before? Thanks in advance. Pls answer🙏
Adrian did you ever figure out what to do ? And do you happen. To know where the hood pin wire runs to?
What about for the automatic start could you help with that??
