06 hondal civic rs issues viper db all

Ok so....i got fed up looking for this wire...i swear this car has been a nightmare. I took the drivers door apart and found it there. Hooked it up and everything seems to working fine...although now the doors dont work with the RS remote....but to honest at this point i could careless and i'll tell customer they need to use the key in the door (i'll blame it on honda). Im going to let it sit for a min and try it a few more times, just to make sure its working properly.

I have to have an issue with the control unit and/or attena. Its like the signal is just not getting through. I get a negative tone on the remote, intermittently of course, and nothign happens. This has also happen when i was trying to set up system features...i can get into the menu fine but then when i hit the button on the remote i get the negative tone and nothing happens. Thoughts?

the door locks have to be hard wired. the dball has options for wires into the bypass, and analog signals out for the door locks. should read the manual thoroughly before installing.Ted

I have worked on quite a few civics in the uk and when using the dball you need to hardwire the negative cdl wires at the plug coming in from the drivers door as it enters the car.

kop1 is right. you got to do this for all 06+ civicsTed

The door locks were hard wired from the start...i had to add the disarm wire from the viper box cause for some reason the dball was not taking care of that. So pretty much the only thing i am using the dball for now is a bypass, everything else is wired. For now it seems to be working fine but im not ruling out and issues with either the control unit, or the antenna itself. Time will tell. Thanks for all your helps guys.

Well i have new viper unit on the way. The current system is still in the customers car and she says its batting about 500. That is 50% of the time when you hit the button it starts up no problem. The other 50% you get a negative tone from the the remote and the car does not start....if you wait a few sec and hit the button again it fires right up. I am hoping that a new control unit and antenna will fix this issue Thoughts??? Thank you

i would rip it all out, then install from scratch. its easier in most cases to find your mistakes. unless you're very good with diagnosing.Ted

Before you replace the entire unit I would just replace the antenna, relearn the remotes, and try again. It very well could be a broken antenna wire or bad antenna. Did you inspect all of the wires on the antenna to make sure none were damaged?Kenny

Yes i did...I completely removed the antenna cable, visually inspected and ohmed the individual wires.
