remote start, 2007 nissan armada

Yep. I got the neutral safety switch installed and in the "on" position. Going to hook up the brake wire now...

Still flashes 7 times and I cannot get into the "menu" system. Clicking the valet button doesn't do anything following your procedure or the ones in the manual. It seems like it's locked but my suspicion is that pink heavy gauge wire.

Neutral saftey switch toggle set to "on" http://www.acsdistributors.com/uploads/techinfo/viper/manuals/5301v%20Install.pdf The manual states that in order to program it out of MTM mode, the heavy gauge pink wire needs to be installed. However, it is not connected to the vehicle but connected to the FLCAN. Could that be my problem?

Yes, that is your issue; the Pink ignition wire off the Viper needs to go to your vehicle ignition wire. Then the pink ignition wire on the FLCAN will tie into that wire. It is not a direct connection just between the 2. Then connect the pink/white to your accessory 2 wire in the vehicle and set the programming option to 2nd accessory.Kenny

That worked. I was able to get into the menus. I must have tried it several dozen times but I was not able to get the program out of MTM mode. Is it possible it's locked?

Did you confirm the menu and level selection by the LED? Did the LED flash the correct number of times for the AT option after pressing the remote?Kenny

Yes... at least that's what the manual says is the menu for AT. I would hold the button down, it would flash once, pause, flash twice, pause, flash tree times... let go. Hit the button once and release. Hit the button and hold, flash once. Click unlock and get two flashes. Let go of valet button. Cycle "on/off" ignition.

It sounds like you are programmed correctly. What exactly is happening when you try to remote start it? Are the other functions working properly (locks, parking lights, etc)Kenny

The door locks and unlocks properly. Parking lights flash with the lock and unlock function. The parking lights also flash when it flashes 7 times when I attempt to remote start. The trunk release does not work however. The Nissan armada has an automatic lift gate so I don't know if it is compatible with that or not. When I unlock the doors, the valet LED flashes. When I open the door, the valet LED stops flashing.. so it seems to know the door pins. Is there a factory reset on the unit that I can do without a bitwriter?

What do you have the BLACK/ white neutral safety switch wire connected to? Did you successfully learn the tach signal?Kenny

The neutral safety switch is connected to a real toggle switch. (maybe i'm confusing that with something else...) I started the car with the key.. it did not learn the tach signal. I believe it's supposed to light up a solid red LED when it's learned the signal but it never happened.
