In this Video I Go Over Car Alarm and Remote Start Wiring In Great Detail. Be sure to also watch my 5 part series / playlist on the installation job from start to finish.
Thank you soooo much. Super helpful video. I like how you break everything down step by step. I have a greater understanding and feel more confident to tear apart my dash.
I was an Avital dealer/installer from 1994-2000, deja vu...LOL I never had a comeback on an Avital, some of the older Excalibur units, not so lucky. Truth be told the guy before me was not so great at wire management and I'm sure he caused most of the issue I had to deal with. Nice to see the new wiring setup, I've been using crimestopper or Prestige on my side jobs and I've been good so far but I only do them as a side job now. Thanks for the informative video(s!)
Hey did u install ur alarm yourself? I have a 5305 n I been trying to get as much info as I can on installing it but don't seem to be that much out there for that particular alarm
thanx for an informative video! i was hoping for an explanation of the function of all the wires on the satellite relay box. i will peruse your other videos to see if it's there somewhere. also anyone reading this, any help would be welcome. i'm working on a custom car where the remote start equipment is being used for something else and knowing the function of these wires would be the clue i would need.
Thank you so much! I was able to install my 5303 successfully because of this video! I wish you had explained the heavy gauge relay wiring because the installation instructions confused me with all the auxiliary 12v (I ended up with 4 wires tapped into one constant 12v) and aux starter connections. Also I could not find information on how to determin if you need a relay for the doors or not, or if you need a relay for the lights or not. Could you please explain how to determin in a particular car if it needs relays in either of these or not?
i just did a viper 5204 in a 2004 corolla. it went smooth but i spent hours trying to figure out why it blinks 7 times in MTS mode and 8 times in auto mode.. finally figured out with some help that i mixed up the black/white wire with the white/black wire!! the wires are so thin its hard to tell which color is stripe and which is wire color.
Great video! I recently replaced the vehicle battery on a 2014 kia sorento. When i went to plug in the negative cable on the battery, with keys in my pocket the vehicle started on its own. The only way i was able to shut it back off was by cycling the ignition from off to on. I disconnected the plug to the ignition switch connected the negative cable to the battery terminal and it did it again. Completely bypassing the ignition switch. Any suggestions on how to fix or reset? Thanks.
Is the Avital 5305L and the Viper 5706v wiring the same? I have an Avital system that was professionally installed. If I replace the brain of the avital system with the viper brain system, along with the antenna, will everything be plug and play?
im having issues with my viper smartstart 5706v that Best Buy installed in my 2010 accord coupe. I just recently swapped out the stock radio for a pioneer radio head unit. prior to installing I had to disconnect the (-) battery terminal. After I got everything installed I started getting low voltage warnings on the viper fob. now the smartstart won't turn the engine on. do you think it could be the low battery? 2. does smartstart have any dealings at the radio? (I wouldn't think so, but im just trying to make sure) please help.
Can you break down removing this alarm? I have a Viper 500. Cam will turn over and run, but only if I pedal the gas. I’m pretty sure it’s interfering with the VATS system on my 93 Cadillac Fleetwood.
Martin your great just by spending time on break down on installation . Do my homework first on AR3 also found detail wire location for my install. discover ar3 has set default fortin or idatalink bypass. kinda disaapoint with either bypass it's will only do bypass unless firware change options. will call you soon. I'm on the road as truck driver time is everything. david cruz kinda wish bought different system or ask you the best fit with option but to late I'm not going to send back
Hey love your videos !!! Hoping you won't mind answering a ?. I am hooking up a viper 5704v to a 2006 rav4 and the viper says to cut starter wire on vehicle and connect H3/4 violet wire to car side . And H3/5 green to key side Now my ? Is do I need to cut starter wire or can I just use the output wire spliced into starter wire??? Thanks in advance ...
do as you mentioned, just be sure the remote starter's starter output wire winds up on the starter side so when the alarm is armed and you remote start the power will be applied to the starter side, NOT the key side
I have a 2007 ford fusion with the viper 4105v, the only thing I cant figure out is how to shut off the factory alarm with viper remote unlock? Thanks for any help. It will unlock the doors but as soon as you open the doors the factory alarm goes off.
Hello my friend!! Im planning install a viper 3105V on my 09 chevy express, comes with no power locks and no remote either so i still need baypass to perform the job?? Thank you!!!
yes i have an avitol 3300 , i noticed my yellow wire popped out of clip? it is for igniton is that why my car will start with alarm goin off, because that wire popped out and how do i get it back in :)
I have a strange question at least to me. I’ve had this system installed for a while and what it keeps doing is flagging the brown brake plus wire as being missing. I don’t believe that’s a necessary component however, the remote startle usually work for about a week and then it’ll stop and flash code 6 at me. Now it says brake light plus but I’m not sure how to wire that because it’s not giving me a specific detail. If I’m supposed to see positive voltage on this lead, am I supposed to wire to the ground wire or the hot wire and if I do the hot wire, do I need a diode. Seems to me without one I’m gonna pop something in the system .
Thanks for your videos. I managed to go from nowhere to alarming up a basic daihatsu hijet alarm with a really basic ebay alarm that looks a bit like this. Landbo LB-100D. All works fine except I never used a green/orange 2 wire harness that close/open electrical safety, and have fob functions. What are these wires? Thanks.
@@Lesscoelectronicshi, there is, but it's so basic that I ended up following you Viper type installs to get it working. I actually found a Russian guy showing an install test with the same one, under the name tsk-100, but identical alarm. And he had a door actuator attached to it. All in Russian, but I know what the harness is now. I'm not using an actuator, manual locks, but I saw you have a video for that too, so maybe next project for me. Cheers.
I just installed a Viper alarm system 5305v and I need some help on a couple of issues, first the alarm goes off as soon as I turn key on. Second, the starter stays engaged during remote start, I think on this one I just got to get system to learn tach but cant get their until I fix first issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Im having trouble with the green wire. Im not sure where to wire it. Do i have to wire it to 5 other wires, so i can wire and diode to each purple (dome/lock car wire) wire in each door and tailgate? I have a screen that shows which door is open. Its a 2017 4 door jeep jk. Thanks.
This should help: (I'd use the yel/wht myself...)

Hey. Can you make a video on how to get your dei remote start off of 24 hour cycling and stuff like how I keep accidently programming my car to start at a certain time? Thank you soooo much! God bless you sir.
Allen Toler that feature can b turned on/off through the 2 wau remote. download the manual for your system for free at directed.com all you need is there in the owners guide
I have the viper 3105 I'm hearing conflicting info on the green and violet wires. I have a 2006 mustang and from what I'm seeing on tech sheet there negative dome supervision . So I only use the green or violet not both correct ? Appreciate any help . Eric
Ive been trying to get my viper 5706v working and installed it with a db3, alarm works door locks work, but no remote start, flashes 8 times. I believe I need to install that toggle switch for the nss but I do not know where it goes or what it wires into. Could you explain how to wire it up. Thanks
I recently removed a avital from my car because I was selling the car , the orange wire was split into 2 and connected to 2 wires any reason why they did that ?
Having trouble with my alarm system. Every time I add the plus brake white wire that’s required by the alarm it shuts my alarm down. Everything but the windows and door locks. If I disconnect the wire, my remote start works fine. It works for a week and then I have to reset the alarm. It’s specifically for the positive brake light input. Once I attach the positive brake light input, it shuts the auto start down come completely until I disconnect that lead. Is there a specific way other than tapping into the brake light lead?
I have the same brand remote start only system im gonna install on a 2005 dodge Dakota the key is not chipped and it has no alarm system and no keyless entry any tips would be appreciated but my main question is where should I ground the neutral safety switch wire
Ok thank you and your videos are a lot of help i bet i watch 15 videos today learning tips and techniques and im gonna use your wire in the drill trick to keep my wires neat
I have a question. I was wondering if it was possibly to program a Avital 5303 remote to a viper main harness. I don't know what model the viper harness is yet I have to pull my dash off because of where the guy installed it at its in a stupid place. It's almost all the way up behind my gauges. Before I pull the dash completely apart I wanted to figure out if it's even possibly to program my avital 5303 remote to the viper wiring harness. Will you please let me know much appreciated thanks.
Lessco Electronics I'm honestly thinking about just ripping the hole alarm out and just installing a new one. Because the way this one is set up in my truck it's all cluster fucked under the dash. Wires are running everywhere and it's a pig sty underneath my dash. What is one would you prefer for a 96 F 350 diesel?
Hey i just installed a avital 5301L . the remote start turns on but it keep giving power to the starter even after the engine is on. Did i miss something?
Hi I just changed my starter, I disconnected the negative terminal of battery, after that my viper 5706v remote starter is not working, lock unlock is fine, if I put the ignition on with key and start with remote , it start, can u please help me????
I got orange acc output to red/black on ignition Harness 200ma acc output to black/orange on ignition Harness which needs a relay then I have Red fused 12v ignition 1 input and Pink ignition 1input/output which one do I connect to ignition Harness then I have 12v constant input do I connect that to 12v ignition Harness or other 12v soure then where do I connect Red/Black fused 12v acc/starter input Green Starter input (key side of the starter kill) Violet Starter output ( key side of the starter kill)
Do u have a video or know how to program the viper so that It can remote start a manual. I tried remote starting my car and it gave me a mts error. One more thing do I need to hook up any of the smaller wires to the bigger remote start wires? Thank you
HELP! Hooked up everything. It works BUT the starter keeps on going after engine starts from button. Do i need to use the valet to program it? (Brave First time installer)
I have a viper 4105 remote security alarm that I installed myself on a 95 eagle talon 5 speed manual. when I remote start the car the starter stays spinning. if I start the car with the key and remote start takeover, it works just fine. however if I try to remote start the car, the starter will keep spinning and the only way I can turn it off is with the remote start button. there is a feature called antigrind which requires the use of a relay but am not sure if this is the issue. any help would be appreciated oh also, I have a set of door lock actuators on the car and was wondering how I would wire them to the alarm.
Thank you lessco! I learned the hard way that the alarm will not relearn a tach signal unless the original is deleted first. Did that and it started just fine. On another note, I have a set of door lock actuators that I got off ebay, they may be made by omega so I'm sure you are very familiar with the wires/polarity. Can I wire the green and blue wires from the actuators straight into the alarm door lock harness, or will I have to run the green and blue wires from the actuators into the cars factory door lock/unlock wires? Thank you so much for your videos, they have helped me countless times. Your knowledge is amazing, thanks again!
+Lessco Electronics I am going crazy trying to figure out this central door lock actuator situation. I wired the blue and green wires up to the viper door lock harness and I'm getting nothing. do I need a relay, or is there an issue with the remote. I can hear the viper alarm click when I press the unlock/lock button but nothing gives. also, learning the viper remote is different from the others. the viper 4105 uses an auto learn feature to configure the remotes, instead of your typical cycling through channels approach please help lessco, I need to get this put back together but I'm stuck with trying to figure out these locks.
+Lessco Electronics I used two five prong relays and am using the wiring diagram from 12 volt. however, everytime I press the lock button it keeps blowing the fuse. can u please tell me if I am wiring the 2 relays correctly?
I have a viper remote that got installed by dealer. I was wondering if you can help me I have the 5902 when the truck is cold it starts just fine but when it warms up it wont start as if its not getting enough fuel ,2000 Dakota . with key starts every time. Hope you can help me . Thanks.
+Kevin Hutton those are relayed outputs as is on most models with the 12 ga output wires. only on the older ones with the thinner ribbon types require additional relays wired in to power the circuits. I hope I said that well :/
How do I or where do I go to get information and instructions on how to install an Avital remote start alarm model 5305L in a 02 Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD? Can u post a video on that please? Thanks in advance

Hi my name is John I usto be a dei cirt i installer I am going to put the top of live viper 2 way coler remote in my 2018 Hyundai elantra my question to you is do thay make pip harnesses for my car
I'm replacing an actual 5303 with exact model. Can't find anything or anyone who can tell me what plugs go where. I know it's an old video but maybe if you have the time can you at least send me a pic or post a pic/diogram?
I have a question hopefully someone knows the answer . I have avital remote start in my car already it stopped working ive tried everything to reprogram it and what sucks it when it did work I didn't hear a horn or nothing when opening or locking doors so its hard to tell if I am reprogramming it . if I was to buy a different brand would the wires be the same colors ? That way I can disconnect one wire at a time and connect the new one ? Does anyone know ? Im hoping its like switching a radio and just matching the colors im not cheap just broke lol to spend taking it to a professional

how much Amps in average this remote starter will drain from battery?? Without remote starter power consumption in my car Honda Civic is about 0.04Amps. After remote starter installation battery drainage will be about 0.10 Amps, more, less ? Any specification in that matter??
