Hi all,
First time poster, long time lurker here. I had a couple questions regarding my Directed/Viper 5906v alarm system. I'll try my best to not ramble on too much. I figured this was probably the best forum to post on since there's a wealth of information and a lot of knowledgeable people.
First question and probably my most mind-boggling. I seem to get absolutely no warn-away chirps from the siren in regards to sensors (ie. shock, proximity, and audio). Is this intentional? I get the notification on the two-way remote's diaplay, just nothing from the siren. However, the siren works just fine on the instant triggers and confirmation chirps (lock, unlock, etc.) I checked the feature setting with the Bitwriter and it's set to confirmation chirps-ON, warn-away chirps-ON.
Second question and it's probably beating a dead horse here. With the shock sensor (I think it's called the Stinger/DoubleGuard or 504D) I was originally getting the full trigger when testing, no warn-away. But, I think my shock sensor may have gone faulty since there seems to be no sign of life now with it. I had been trouble-shooting a different issue and noticed no red light earlier this afternoon. So, I've put in an order for a new sensor (and harness). I'll report back with an update later in the week when I give the new sensor a whirl. Are there any spots that are better or worse for mounting the sensor to?
Third question is regarding the 506T glass break/audio sensor. I have this fella connected to the instant trigger/trunk pin input on the brain. Each time I remote start the car without disarming the system, it sets the car alarm off. I guess it picks up the car's ding-ding chime before the car actually starts. I think what I need to do is remove it's signal wire from the trunk pin/instant trigger input and put it on the blue wire for one of the other sensors, like the proximity or shock sensor. Would that work? I guess I'm wondering if the car alarm temporarily bypasses the external/add-on sensors during the remote start sequence. Obviously, it ignores the ignition signal (or so it seems).
And finally, whew. Wo;; the 7752v remote work with this system? (And will it also work with the 5902v system I have for my second car?) I'm mainly asking due to the fact that these OLED remotes have a reputation of the display going dark and dying after a couple years. At $200+ each, I'm hoping for a more long term solution. I don't mind the one-way companion remotes, but I do like the real-time notifications. Coming from a Viper 790XV with the LCD screen, I'm hoping that the 7752v remotes are compatible.
Thank you for any and all assistance!
