2009 nissan pathfinder, viper 5501, dball

I am going to be installing a Viper 5501 remote starter and DBALL into a 2009 Nissan Pathfinder. Auto transmission, not Intelli-key. I don't fully understand how to wire the Viper to the starting system of this vehicle. This is what I know: Viper----------------------------------Pathfinder Ignition 1 Out (PNK)---------------Ignition 1 (WHITE/ Green) Ignition 2 Out (???)----------------Ignition 2 (WHITE/ Red) Accessory 1 Out (ORG)----------Accessory 1 (Red) Accessory 2 Out (???)-------------Accessory 2 (GREEN/ YELLOW) Starter 1 Out (VIO)-----------------Starter 1 (Grey) Starter 2 Out (PNK/WHT)--------Starter 2 (Lt Green) The bold things are easy. I don't know where to connect the Ignition 2 and Accessory 2 in the Viper though since it doesn't have these connections. I will also need to program the Flex Relay so that the PNK/WHT wire works as "Starter 2". As far as I know, I will need to connect a relay into the IPDM of the vehicle as shown on page 8 in the DBALL manual here: 401.NISS01 1.04 vH00.S00.D05 Can anyone let me know what I'm missing?

if you have no ign2 or acc 2 just cut and tape them up.Ted

1st: As far as I know, the Pink/White does not have an option to be set as a 2nd starter (unless DEI changed that with their new modules). The Pink/White is your 2nd ignition output. So it should be: Viper------------------------------Pathfinder Ignition 1 Out (PNK)---------------Ignition 1 (WHITE/ Green) Ignition 2 Out (Pink/White)--------Ignition 2 (WHITE/ Red) Accessory 1 Out (ORG)--------------Accessory 1 (Red) Accessory 2 Out (Relay*)-----------Accessory 2 (GREEN/ YELLOW) Starter 1 Out (VIO)----------------Starter 1 (Grey) Starter 2 Out (Relay*)-------------Starter 2 (Lt Green) The Relays need to be standard 4 or 5 pin automotive 30a/40a relays. Connect as follows: 2nd Accessory: Pin 85 - (-)200ma 2nd accessory output (small orange in relay harness) Pin 86 - 12v constant fused Pin 87 - 12v constant fused (20a) Pin 30 - Vehicle 2nd Accessory Wire Pin 87a (if applicable) - no connection 2nd Starter: Pin 85 - (-)200ma 2nd starter output (small violet in relay harness) Pin 86 - 12v constant fused Pin 87 - 12v constant fused (20a) Pin 30 - Vehicle 2nd Starter Wire Pin 87a (if applicable) - no connection Kenny

Tedmond, I am not sure what you mean by that. Cut the wires in the Pathfinder?

Kenny, your solution does seem to make sense now that I think about it. I'm surprised that this installation is going to take so much extra screwing around. I need to add these 2 relays as well as the one in the IPDM to prevent the starter grinding. I'll probably give it a shot this weekend. Thanks for the help!

i thought you were asking if the unit had an acc2/ign2 and the vehicle didnt have it, you would just cut it and tape it up. since the vehicle does have it, you will need 2 relays. space should be least of your concerns, tons of room under that dash.Ted

Thanks for clearing that up Tedmond. I'll give it a go.
