viper 5901 into a 2005 nissan 350z

I thought the hood pin wire would want to see ground, but I disconnected it as you said.I grounded the NSS since this car is an automatic.When I try to remote start from either remote, the car flashes the lights 7 times but that is it. The dash lights do not come on, it makes no attempt to remote start. From what I can tell, the XK07 did learn what ever it is it needed to learn based on the LED sequence.

Look In your manual, it will tell you what the seven flashes mean. Did you program the tach?

I looked all over the manual for the meaning of 7 flashes. Either I am reading too quickly or my morning Dunkin Donuts coffee has worn off.I thought that once the XK07 did it's thing, that was the end of the learning. I'll go back to the book...

Tach has been programmed. Got it. 7 flashes: Timer mode/Turbo mode/Manual mode error Timer mode error: Ignition is on or shutdown input is active when activating timer mode Turbo mode error: Turbo mode is programmed off, engine is not on or shutdown input is active Manual mode error: MTS mode not enabled I don't have the H1/10 WHITE/ BLUE (-) REMOTE START/ TURBO TIMER ACTIVATION INPUT connected since I do not have a turbo, although I would like one, if not two. I wasn't sure what the alarm install manual was saying to do with this wire. "This input comes from the factory set to 1 activation pulse. This means that it is necessary to have a single ground pulse on the WHITE/ blue wire for the remote start to activate or to deactivate. The H1/10 wire can also be used to activate the Turbo Timer mode when the car is running and this wire receives a ground. Note: The number of activation inputs can be programmed to 1 or 2 pulses with an optional momentary switch. This setting affects both the input wire and the remote control when operating the remote starter"

That wire makes a ground output the ENTIRE time the alarm is armed. It would be typically used to wire up a starter kill relay, but you already have one built into the XCRS. If you hooked the GWA (ground when armed) to the hazards, they'd flash continuously until the car's battery dies. If you've ever seen one of those sequentially-flashing superbright Pep Boys-style alarm flashers that some people put at the base of their windshield.......if one of those interests you, the GWA would be perfect to turn that on while armed, and it wouldn't drain the battery.

That wire serves two funcions, neither of which I believe you want or need, but: 1. When you set the parking brake, the remote starter keeps the car running for a couple of minutes, to let the turbo cool. Not really useful if your car doesn't have a turbocharger. 2. You could install the 5901 as a standalone remote starter, discard the remotes that came with it......and every time you press Lock twice on your factory Nissan remotes, the car starts. That's a very useful feature for someone who already has the remote built into the head of the key (like new Chryslers and Fords), and doesn't need much range or an alarm. Again, not what you seem to be looking for with your car. So, leave that wire not connected to anything. P.S. It can be a good troubleshooting tool. If the remote start doesn't work by remote, but pulsing the activation input with a jumper does......you know the main unit is good, but the remote or antenna is bad.

LOL I'll pass on the Pep Boys LED's. How do I switch it from manual mode to automatic transmission mode? I just don't see where the install manual says how to do this...it talks about it but not how to do it

If you have ANY doubt you've made a mistake with the XK07, there's an easy way to check and avoid headaches. Unplug XK07, but leave the car's key in the ignition. If the remote start doesn't work, something still isn't right........fix it until it'll start with the key in there, and mess with the XK07 afterward.

Ha, good idea. I tried this, it still won't start. I called DEI, once again, getting answers since I'm not a dealer is like getting bush to tell the truth. The only thing he would say is the alarm is in manual transmission mode. It needs to be switched to automatic transmission mode but I am not sure how to do that.
