I have a 2007 Dodge Ram Mega Cab truck and had a Viper 5900 alarm/remote installed, problem is that after starting the vehicle my horn honks like it does when I lock the vehicle.  I tried to disable the horn honk thru the factory keyfob, but the alarm is keeping me from doing that, any ideas on how to get the alarm to stop doing that? Thanks

Well this doesnt have to do with the remote start, the horn beeps after I have entered the vehicle and started it, it beeps like twice, was just wondering if there was a way to turn that off with the remote of if its a programming option that i would have to take back to best buy to get done.

I have read your owners manual and can't find any information on disabling the horn honk after manual starting. I would describe this to the installer and see if there is a feature that can be disabled. There my also be a problem with the system. Does the horn honk with the siren when arming and disarming? Does the siren sound when starting with the key? There may be a problem with the factory alarm interfacing with the 5900 if your vehicle is equipped with a factory system.

the owners manual for the truck says that i can disable the horn honking when locking the vehicle (press and hold the lock button for four seconds and then press the panic button and release them together), i have tried to disable the horn honking, but apparently the viper 5900 is not allowing me to do that, what came with the truck is just keyless entry not an alarm system. the horn honks a few seconds after i have manually started the vehicle, it beeps like twice and doesnt beep anymore. yeah the vehicle horn beeps when activating the alarm, beeps a couple of times. i had the system installed at best buy, i stopped by there the other day and asked him why the horn beeps after i have manually started the vehicle, but he didnt know, and he didnt know how to disable it, he said he would get back with me, but he hasnt, i should be able to stop at any authorized installer since its still under warranty right? Thanks.

Yes you can stop by any authorized DEI dealer and they can look at it. However they may charge you since best buy installed it. Some shops will not warranty another's install. You could try contacting DEI. Or pester the guy at Best Buy they should remedy the problem since they installed it and it doesn't sound like its functioning correctly or the feature should be able to be disabled.

Yeah I should just take it back and tell them to fix that, I know it's not a big deal, I was just curious to know if it was something I could turn off or if it was something that I had to take back to the installer to get fixed. The horn honking after manually starting the vehicle gets a little annoying after a while, plus people always look to see if I'm honking at them, thanks for the info.

There are three different things you can do, the first you can try yourself via the install manual that can be found on this website using the valet switch.  It may fix it.

1- Turn off ignition controlled locks(when you turn on your car the doors lock automatically, but newer cars do it anyway so turn it off)

2- Wire a relay for the ground while running for the bypass module. 86--ignition,  85--ground while running from remote start, 30---ground, and 87--brown wire from bypass module.

3- use the pink wire from the relay pack(small little plug on the relay pack not the positive thick ignition wire) and connect it to the brown wire from the bypass module. 

The 2nd and third require you to have it wired to the brown wire and take off the wire that was on it.  Hence, pink to brown direct and not the wire that the brown had connected to it.

I had just got done reading the manual, and from what I read it sounds like something could be wired wrong as the horn beeps twice like it was remote started, which is not working, apparently dodge has it locked to where it cant be remote started without installing another module with a dealer programmed key, but thats another issue that the installer was looking into for me, I appreciate your reply.

what module did he use to bypass the remote start system.  Did he use an XK03 only??? He is suppose to use an XK532.  The horn honking is the factory alarm.  This is a common issue with the bypass modules.  Although its on the xk532 which controls the factory alarm and does the bypass.

Also, you are still not able to remote start your car??????
