Has anyone installed a Viper 5701 with an Xpresskit DB-ALL interface module on a 98 Chevy truck/SUV? I have everything installed according to the diagrams for both items, but I cannot get the DB-ALL to recognize the start position of the key. The LED on the module flashes orange, meaning it recognizes the databus, but it will not turn green when I put the key in the start position. Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

I'm not 100% familiar with that exact truck, but on a lot of GM's you need to hold the key in the start position for a few seconds until it programs.

I thought about that and I tried holding it in the start position for upwards of 2-3 minutes. Still wouldn't turn green.

Is the bypass flashed with the correct firmware?

According to the website, yes. It has the GM5 firmware and I am performing installation type 6.

Taken from another discussion:

the issue is the bypass module can only receive a start signal through data. you are trying to get a start signal from the car, into the viper through data to the DBALL.
on connector 9, connect the violet wire (start input)right to the vehicle or purple start wire of the viper. proceed to program and it will work fine.

Thanks so much for the re-post from the other topic. That fixed my programming issue! The remote start now works fine, but the doors will not lock nor unlock with the button push. The DBALL is supposed to be able to control them. But if not, I will probably just have to set up the Viper to control them?

I would try connecting the lock/arm wires W2W and see if that works. I've never been a fan of D2D because of reliability issues.. and w2w never steers you wrong (as long as you make good connections)

Thanks, I will try that and will post if/when I get it to work.

According to the 5701 instructions, it will control a positive trigger right out of the box, with no additional parts. Is this true, or do I need to hook up some relays? I hooked the green wire to the lock wire in the truck and the blue wire to the unlock wire, but nothing happens. My truck has factory keyless entry, so I know it is the positive trigger. Any thoughts?

What do you have for lock wires coming out of the brain? Do you just have the blue and green or do you have the violet/black, GREEN/ black, blue/black? If its just the 2 small gauge wires then you will need relays (or a 451m which will make it easier since the harness will plug into the brain).

the 5701 has flip-flop polarity locks.
use a diode and connect to vehicle.

But even with the flip flop they should have worked by connecting them... just the way he had them connected would have been backwards (lock with unlock button, unlock with lock button)

The 5701 just has the blue and green wires for the locks. I will get a 451m and hook it up that way. Thanks!
