Thanks, after racking my brain over schematics, that last 4 minutes was all I needed! The sound of my doors FINALLY unlocking and locking using the remote were music to my ears

Holy S#!$ this is like a gold mine of info for installing car alarms! Great job! 👍💯

@@Donnythelatemodeltech you did a great video. Thank you so much. But I only have one question: 🙋 When I put the door lock relay only works in the DRIVER SIDE… what should I do to make work in the passenger side ?

[@trystanellefson2947]

This has by far been one of the most informative videos that I've seen related to this system. You NAILED the instructions and took out my need to ask any questions and now I know for sure that is the system to get for my truck as well. Definitely subbing!

You just made my day! Best comment I've got in a long time. Thanks hit me up on IG if you need some help.

[@ulyvenalcantara3671]

wow, i'm impressed. this is the most detailed video that helped me understand each and every wires that was giving me confusion before.. thank you for explaining the use and purpose of each wire, whether they will be used or not used based on the preference of the driver.. very good job.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Thanks and good luck with your install!

[@shootthemoon9549]

Just want to thank you for the 5 wire walk through. The wire colors were exactly the same on my Fox Mustang and I never knew what a 451m was. I've been fighting with hooking up this cheapo keyless entry for years, seriously years. The only way I had it working was by disconnecting the connector to the passenger switch and that made the driver switch not work either but the keyless entry worked on the driver door only and I accepted that it's the best I could do. Watched your video ordered up a 451m and within 30 minutes everything is working the way it should. So grateful, thank you.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

👍, thanks for sharing.

Awesome video helped me out a ton. I finally have keyless entry on my 2000 7.3. That alone was worth the 150 I paid for the remote starter and the remote start is just a bonus for me. Thank you for the great informative video I couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you for this video ! My 01 Camry was stolen a few weeks ago I had no alarm I got the vehicle back with a busted steering column and ignition switch , I didn’t imagine how easy it is to steal older vehicles. I watched tons of videos until I felt confident I could do it and followed along your video I officially have an alarm thank you !

the only video I found on KZbin, explains very well how to mount Viper's system, thank you! BTW mine is the 5706V, I couldn't test full functions on a bench, it always gives a remote start error on the remote screen, I routed all other sense wires like the parking brake, brake shutdown, hood, and doors accordingly, and the tachometer wire is intended for" manual trans only", and their crappy documentation doesn't have any schematics, I like how you grouped the wires, good job!

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

Thanks my good man. Installing this in a military surplus vehicle; M1078 LMTV. All wires are white in the vehicle. So, nice that you also put the probe and INNOVA items in the description. So helpful. Planning on adding power locks and power windows later... so this system was chosen.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Thanks for the great comment .

[@HEAVYMETAL0209]

What an awesome video... I am replacing old alarm that has failed with the Avital 5303L. Your lay out and description of all the wire was a perfect... I can now easily install this alarm! Going to add things like rear deforst and maybe to turn on heated seats. Thing to find tach signal on a diesel Excursion will be fun. Thanks for your help.

[@brandonzink8283]

I’m so glad I found your video, there’s no good ones out there for these systems and I was struggling to understand everything, but now I can tackle this confidently, I’ll be watching a few more times during install and then my jeep will be secured

[@leonhart2178]

worked at best Buy for 15 years and in my time as a mobile tech with them, I have never used a tap connector on any alarm install. We were required to be MECP certified and we were told by the company to always follow best practice and were not allowed to use tap connectors on alarms. I saw a bunch of alarms installed at other places that used taps and we would fix them when they failed.

Jam up I wired my 94 f150 it had the five wire. Good info. The alarm was a little overwhelming at first.

[@billybassman21]

The dude you installed this for was no fun. lol Love having the horn hooked to the alarm, way more effective at attracting attention. DEI alarms by default only honk the horn on a full trigger. Warn and arm/disarm will just chirp. I actually turned the arm/disarm chirp off on mine, no reason to have it with a 2 way remote.

Amazing video! Very informative and nicely done job that you did I copied you and did it to my 96 f150 xlt power everything with factory keyless entry basically the same setup as the truck in the video. I have a small problem though of my door locks will lock with the switch but not the remote and I know in the video you said I need to reprogram that but everytime I try to it goes to garage mode but it did program the tach wire just fine and everything else works great so I thank you very much with that!

Excellent Upload ! Well done and thank you !

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Thanks for the visit

[@AskRemy]

23:02 is a sign of a tech that lacks experience. Never ever use test lights of any kind. Only DMM's are allowed. The exception to the rule is with early model vehicles without air bags or sensitive computers. The test lights do pass signals onto the wire you are probing. They can and will deploy an airbag or damage sensitive computers.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

😆 🤣, wow. It's been 16 years since I did that shit for a living, and , hmm, I do own a airbag save test light, and know how to use a meter. Funny. I'm pretty confident in this easy remote start, I started installing remotestarts when these trucks were new. Let me guess your a MECP certI installer,, FYI it's a dead-end career. You should check out my other alarm video, I think i use a meter and test light.... it might be the airbag safe, I really can't remember. Please keep commenting this is fun.

[@RogerSayers]

Outstanding Video! Thanks for sharing this with all of us. I have the Viper Model 5105V. For my 1996 F-350 XLT Crew Cab Diesel. It's not installed as of yet due to me fearing screwing up something. I sure wish you could make another video showing how to hook this alarm up my truck. I have talked to professional installer and it's going to cost me around $275.00 to have them hook it up. Can you advise me on how to connect this to the diesel auto start? I'd sure like to be able to use all the features of this alarm system. Again, thanks for sharing this video, your real good at installing. Thumbs and you have a new subscriber.

[@Papalegba22]

That dark blue wire on the 20 pin should never be cut off. It's used to activate the bypass module to get past the factory immobilizer.

[@funkcrewbandonly1]

Your Video was very good and explained with excellence. I just couldn't understand one thing. what is a "5 wire?" The part at the end of your video you were explaining. I have a 2004 Ford F-150 with remote entry. The Alarm that came with the truck (Lojack) was disarmed and doesn't alarm if you bump it, Only opens the door's with my remote. Could you explain more detail about 5 wire? Do i need to apply this for my ford for my door's?

I installed viper alarm same way you did in video, battery keeps draining I have to keep remote starting truck every 2 days to keep battery dropping below 11.8v by 2nd day. Is there anyway to prevent the power draw from alarm system? I also installed the viper smart start which allows me to gps track, remote start, unlock and lock with phone. Installed both at same time, do you think it’s the viper smart start killing battery or the viper alarm. Also the viper alarm killed my coil twice. Day one of install and a few months later. Any thoughts on why it keeps killing coil?

Hello, Great video - very instructive - I bought the Avital 3100L model - very similar but without remote start. I also bought the Install Essentials 451M Door Lock Relay Module. When wiring the door lock relay I think I wired the relay incorrectly as the door motors kept triggering when it hit the unlock button on the remote until I unplugged the harness to stop it.
