2005 CRV with Viper 5103 and DBALL2

Yes, the GWR wire is AKA the (-) Status Output wire. In W2W mode join those two wires together.Soldering is fun!

Just wrapping up my bench wiring before heading out to the car. Any recommendations on how I should terminate these unused wires? I started to cut little pieces of heat shrink tubing and seal each on individually but it takes a good bit of time to do that and I'm not sure that it's 100% necessary. Is cutting them short and taping the bundle together acceptable or is there concern that any of them will short together or to the chassis?

Your first method whilst time consuming is best. Some people de-pin but that can be a real problem down the line if you either add things or want to remove and refit in another vehicle. I find it perfectly acceptable to tape over provided you are using either Scotch 33+ or Tessa tape. Your 50c Walmart tape will unglue and fall apart within 4-6 months. Here's a trick, de pin the power feeds (H3) pink/black and H1 white brown, you'll almost never need them. The red, RED / black and RED / white on H3 plus the red on H2, solder together after their fuses so you have no more than two wires to solder at the end, far more convenient.

Most of the way through the install now and I've come up with a couple more questions. The DBALL2 wiring references tying into the immobilizer data wire which is pin 2 on the green 7 pin connector and the security light which is pin 5. I found the connector but can anyone verify the color of these wires? The keyless entry data wire is in green connector K on the back of the fuse / relay box, does anyone have a diagram that shows which connector is K? Howie, I just saw your message and I've already done most of the connections with heat shrink and then taped them together to keep things neat. For all the splices I'm using scotch linerless rubber splicing tape. Do you have a wiring diagram for the gauge cluster? I'd like to try to get the tach wire connection at the gauges as you recommended if possible.

Wire at back of gauge is blue. As for that plug, it's confusing, look carefully at both plug AND diagram. The U.K. market plug is even a different colour! I've buggered a DB - ALL 2 doing that so be careful. Are you soldering the joints?

Yeah I think I've got the immobilizer wires figured out. Looks like the drawing is showing the plug as if you were facing the female connectors. I really wish they would give wire colors instead of just pin numbers, would make me feel a lot better about making the connection. Yes I am soldering all the joints.

Good must solder. The vehicle colours are pastel and very vague.

That why I like iDatalink, they always provide the wires' color and they are always accurate...    Here is their info :Ignition    pin 6          BLACK / YELLOW (+) Ignition switch Data        pin 2          White (DATA) Ignition switch Security Led       pin 5          Blue/OrangeSoldering is fun!

If you worked on Euro cars especially French, you'd know it's pin number EVERY TIME!

I ended up counting the pins and when I was looking through the instruction to get the DBALL to learn the bypass code I found the wire color codes in the back of the book..... So I am 95% there with the installation, 2 wires left. the lock/ unlock data wire for the DBALL and the dome light wire for the Viper. I found the dome light wire but I am having trouble with the lock/ unlock data wire. According to the directions it is in the back of the fuse / relay box, 17 pin connector K. I can't really see the back of the panel under the dash so I have no idea where it is, any recommendation on where else I can find it? or an easier place to reach / tap it?
