Oh no, I would never mess with something myself on it. I was just trying to determine a possible cause and whether its user related at all (but I have read the whole manual and really wouldnt be able to cause this anyways). I'll probably take it down one of these weekends. #1 reason I bought...

Well it now has been happening in regular arming too. Probably I didnt realize because I was normally arming in r/s mode. I was thinking it might be feedback like you said or maybe a dead brain. I was just trying to diagnose before I would have to take it in because the shop is 1.5 hrs. away...

So I got it the Viper installed. The installer did a great job and hid everything nice and tight and soldered all the connections. It ended up costing me $585 for everything installed which is alot less than first quoted. They quoted those things just to be on the safe side. He was still...

Alright, I think I'm just gonna let them do the install. I know they do alot of them and I also just called. She said there is a little extra involved and they just did a car like mine a month or so ago, so I know they have done them before. They are supposed to be one of the better shops around...

Thats what I was thinking they might have been talking about. If I am correct the 5901 doesn't need anything extra for a manual transmission? From my understanding it comes already programmed and there is no need for any extra modules for the manual transmission in the 5901

Alright, thanks everyone! I didn't get the whole transmission thing from the beginning because even if there was one, I can't imagine it being $75 worth of labor. Maybe she was thinking they still had to use the 689M module or something. They were really busy that day so I'll give them the...

Thanks everyone, I am gonna bring up the issue about the new power when I call them tomorrow. If anything, I'll tell them to hook it up without the wire, but if a new power is necessary after its installed then they can ask me. As far as the $75 for programming, I'm not sure what to ask because...

Aside from the manual trans. programming, what about the power needing to be run from the battery? Is that reasonable or probable or is it not needed?

Yea I'm new to the whole security system thing so I thought I would get a second opinion from people more knowledgeable than myself. I have heard the possibility for needing the new power from 2 different shops thats why I was unsure. As far as the name it is a little cheesy, but they have been...

I would let them do everything except installed the wiring from the battery to the inside of the car if new power would need to be ran. So 30 amps coming into the car from the factory is not enough for the remote start?

I was hoping maybe someone on here that installs remote starts/alarms could help me out with an issue. I am planning on having the new Viper 5901 with remote start installed in a 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 manual trans. at a local shop in the next couple of weeks. The lady (who is the owner of...

bump. bueller? bueller?..........

I am wanting to get a car alarm/remote start installed in my 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 manual transmission and need some advice for a good place to go to that does good and reliable work. I am looking at the top of the line Viper 5901 or the Clifford/Python equivilant. I live in Milwaukee but am...
