2011 suzuki kizashi viper 5704 issues

There are several cars from iDatalink where they have the remote starter's starter output energizing the brake lights---Nissan, Mazda CX5, and apparently your Suzuki too. I've had nothing but problems with all of these setups. Did one CX-5, it came back, ADS had a firmware update that fixed it. The Nissans, half of them seem to work right, half of them don't. Sometimes you'll get lucky by putting the unit in voltage sensing with maximum crank time, but that doesn't always work. I can only think of three solutions: 1: Call manufacturer and insist on getting more help, including a custom firmware if necessary. 2: See if another bypass manufacturer makes something that the module controls the car's brake, rather than the remote starter. 3: If you're good with relays, maybe try a setup with latching relay(s), timer relay or something....I'm thinking maybe have your Viper ground-when-running output activate a timer relay to trigger the brake lights for about 7-10 seconds or so.

OK if you can learn how to make a latching relay setup maybe try this: 1: Remote starter's Ignition 2 output goes THROUGH a latching relay setup, and then to the car's brake lights. 2: Make the relay setup so that it interrupts that Ignition 2 wire AFTER remote starting, that way the brake lights will go out so the remote starter won't get a shutdown signal. 3: You'll have to experiment with what signal you'll use to latch your relay to kill the Ignition 2. Doesn't Viper have a defroster output that comes on a few seconds after remote start? That might do it for you. Or hey another idea.....doesn't that Viper have programmable AUX outputs? Do you have a Bitwriter? Maybe program one of those outputs for 10 seconds during start, be sure to "link" it to BOTH customer remotes, and use that to trigger a relay to turn on the brake lights?

Thanks Chris I should bee getting the car back this week. So I can try some of those. I have a bit writer ordered should be here todayIf i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe
