791 xv 2000 jeep grand cherokee

Ehh...their functionality documentation is a bit screwy at times. I'm sure that the XK531 actually does that stuff with different firmware on cars other than a Grand Cherokee. Basically you have to read the exact guide for your car and firmware.C Renner's Auto Electronix

OOOPS didn't mean to offend anyone if I did. Anyways I'm just getting frustrated, if I were in the states I at this point I would just save the time and the headache to just have it professionally done. I'm going to put in my stereo equipment in a couple of weeks and trying to get this in ASAP. Funds are tight right now expecting them soon to order the right parts and knowing what I'm doing. It's just this remote start and bypass kits that's getting me right now. I know once I start I can ask questions I have and someone if not chriswallac187 will I know. So I got an idea of what I need and how to do the install but if there is anything else I should know please let me know before I buy these parts. If not I shall let this topic close and I will open a different topic should I run into problems. Thank to the people of 12v's especially chriswallace187Ricky Berryman

Shouldn't be any problem...XK531 with JDL 1.0 firmware is all you'll need. Feel free to PM me if you want.C Renner's Auto Electronix

Now, correct me if I'm wrong. Do you connect the brown wire( (-) ground when running)of the xk531 to the orange wire( (-) ground when armed) of the (RCS)/viper 791xv?Ricky Berryman

Negative on that(no pun intended)...the brown GWR should be connected to the blue (-) status out from the 791.C Renner's Auto Electronix

Just a couple of things. Do you recommend an easier way to get to the park/neutral position switch other than removing the transmission. Also I have this toggle switch for the park/nuetral switch and was wondering if you knew which way I need to hook this up. The 791xv installation book says there are two ways to hook it up. 12volts says the yellow wire in the ignition switch harness is the park/neutral safety switch. I've already determined the yellow wire is the starter wire. It says it is a BROWN / Yellow wire, and I don't know where to locate this wire. Any sugestions? The other is the tach wire. As said before just tap into one of the fuel injector Tan wires, it is a little more difficult to connect to the BCM or PCM or something like that. Any other suggestions? Also what is the easiest way to tap into the park light relay? I found the relay but I think I will have to drop the fuse panel to get to the back where the wires are. Any suggestions? That is all I have left. Then I test and program the XK531. Now is there any problems if I have the alarm, xk531 all hooked up when I program the xk531, or do I need to leave the 791xv disconnected while doing this? One more and I will close. Now the starter wire. I cut the yellow wire in half, from the ignition switch plug I hooked the key side wire of the alarm to that. The other half of the wire I hooked the start side of the alarm. Is this right? Anyways hope you read this soon. Thanks.Ricky Berryman

Connect it to one wire from the toggle switch, and the other wire from toggle switch to ground. Your car has a starter interrupt built into the park/neutral switch on the transmission, so actually connecting that to the car is unnecessary.

I've found that the injectors are the easiest to get to, so I'd go with them.

The easiest way at the parklight relay is to connect directly to the relay prong. I'm not certain whether 85 or 86 is switched, so pull it out slightly to meter it and see which one changes when the lights are turned on. Connect to that terminal. Starter wire you have correct. I believe the XK531 is supposed to be held directly in front of the key cylinder in order to program it(unplugged at this time). The alarm can be left plugged in. More info on programming to come later, but I've got a game to watch. I'll get back to you.C Renner's Auto Electronix
