fox_forma Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Picked up a new toy recently (96 t/a) which has a viper 479 alarm with remote start added. I didn't realize this till recently but it seems there is a connection issue somewhere that is tapped into the wrong wire. When arming the car it works like it should however there are no quick flashing of the parking lights, not a big issue but every alarm I have ever had always did that. Second issue is when dis-arming it, it seems like it almost engages the key to the on position as if I were going to start it and in doing this it turns on my head unit in the car. it shuts off once I open the door. I know this is tied into the R.A.P somehow but not sure where to start when looking at any diagrams. I have been searching all over online and can't find any real info or anyone else who has this issue. I am aware that if I start the car remotely then shut it down the radio will stay on till the door opens but just disarming it normally should not do this.

fox_forma Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yeah its been quite a while since I have been around, I drop by from time to time but just have so much other BS going on I have lost the path of hitting forums up as much. The new look of this place is interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 With the parking lights, there is an option in the remote to have the lights flash or not. Not sure on the other issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbor_SS'n-it Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I just looked through some info and all I could think of is to use the remote to program your lights. I have a Viper 5704 on my truck and I used the programming functions thru the remote to set it up. Also I used the trucks programming options not sure if tha applies to you.

fox_forma Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 It seems a lot of this stuff can be done through the remote however i can't find a good manual on the 479v. I also forgot then when arming or disarming the key fob beeps while the vehicle doesn't so i need to find a manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_forma Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Ok made a little bit of headway but looks like I will be most likely unhooking the system and re-doing it to see what is going on. The actual model is a Viper 791xv which uses the 479v remote. I got the car to beep during arming and dis arming, however it seems after a few locks and unlocks it goes silent again and its hit or miss whether I can go back into the setting and make it work. Looks like its coming out for now till I can figure out what is going on. If anyone has anymore input on this system and my issues listed please let me know in case it can make things easier.

fox_forma Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Found a new issue so if anyone knows these alarms please chime in! I have the arm/disarm working correctly ( found a bad ground and a wire disconnected), I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it so the R.A.P doesn't active when unlocking but now the driver side door does not lock when arming. I have to manually lock it. The pass side is fine and all doors will unlock when disarming so driver side door=no lock by key fob or window switch, Pass door works fines and all doors will unlock with key fob or window switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
