wiring remote start + dei alarm 8th civic

Okay i found out which wire it is by testing each one of the brown wires.

I am now wraping the install up. Only three items remain on my list 1) Pressing Function x4 + Remote start button should remote start the car and turn on the defogger but instead i get an error tone. (Normal remote start button without pressing the function key works fine.) 2) Install the trunk release solenoid + relay (pending as i have not bought a relay yet so cannot proceed any further for now) 3) Figure out why TPMS light is on. Out of these 3, mainly need help figuring out the first one. There are no flashes from the parking lights. Dont know how to trouble shoot.

1) TPMS resolved: Drove and it shut off never came back 2) Trunk release: installed - pretty easy 3) Function x4 + Start does not work. it supposidly will do it on its own when the temp is below 55 F New Issue: When remote popping the trunk the alarm goes off. I have to disarm the alarm before pop-ing the trunk. Anyways to get around that?

Only operate trunk release when alarm is off. Lights hardwire from alarm R/S not from DB. TPMS, told you so.

No I actually forgot that one but when you spike something for instance turn on ignition/engine run with say gauges disconnected that will happen. The standard cure is 10 miles, if the problem isn't persistent. Only exceptions being air bag and ABS warning lights.

I made a DIY, hopedully civic people should have it easier now. I gave you and kreg predit for your help as well. http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/i-c-e-electrical-security-navigation/477177-diy-alarm-remote-start-8th-civic.html I also got in touch with viper as how to extend range amd us the fancy remotes too if I want to in the future.

Antenna and remote from a 5704 will give you the range.

You did a nice post and I can see you've nothing to learn about soldering techniques.

Well i do 3 types of soldering techniques: One with wires being parallel (Nasa Standard) Second as you saw in the pic, poke a hole, wrap arroud, solder. Third twist together across and solder. All 3 work great, first and two are my favorite. But the NASA one is very difficult to actually do. By the way, I added a trunk release solendoid . When i pop the trunk the alarm goes off, so i have to dis-arm then pop. Is there a way around it?

I don't use DB-ALL bypass modules, but it would appear that the Viper Trunk Release output you are using to trigger

the added relay and trunk release solenoid and does not prompt the D2D connection to the DB-ALL to turn off the Factory Alarm.   Are you disarming with a Viper Unlock?

Here is one work around.  This would entail programming the Trunk Release Output as 2nd Unlock.  See Menu 2,

Item 17, Option 3.   To pop the trunk, you would press the Viper Unlock once and then again within 3 seconds.  Thiswould Unlock the doors on the first Unlock button press and turn off the Factory Alarm.  The second press would popthe trunk ( alarm already off ).  Of course the doors would now be unlocked but not a big issue, either way just hitLock after you close the trunk to lock & re-arm.

Soldering is fun!
