590xv to 5900. I cant get the transmitter to communicate

I told you in the begining that the 590 and 5900 use different remotes and a different antenna.

and you were absolutely right. Do you know where I can find this antenna to buy it?

Try a local dealer. That's where I got my shat. If they are cool, they'll just be able to order certain pieces. The antenna was a tad expensive back in the day when I got mine (well I bought the entire unit because of price I found) but still. Since you need a remote and antenna, try local dealers. See what they say.

I have the remote, I just need the antenna. I used to work for an authorized retailer and know that I was able to order separate parts, but I just called them and they said they couldn't. I just called 10 other places around me and they all couldn't.

WTF can I find this cable

Okay well I tried to bypass the door trigger with the green wire directly to the batteru(best ground), and I installed the new antenna with the new cord that came with it replacing the old 590xv one, and I just cant get the transmitter to communicate with the brain. The brain pretty much wont stop going off, I got so annoyed at it that I disabled my sirens so I wouldnt have to deal with the sirens, I just know they are still going off because the brain is clicking over and over.

I think I may have used the wrong green wire, Im just going to use the light green wire with red strip located in the a pillar on the drivers side, I read thats the main dome light trigger which is what im looking for...i hope.

Okay so I first used the wrong green wire like a dumbass, soldered that wire back right, then found the correct light green/red stripe wire in the a pillar and used that and finally got the remote to communicate with the brain.....very nice.
