I am assuming you are using D2D connection between the Viper and the DB3.
Going off of the DB3 install guide, it looks like this is how I hook it up, but I am a little unsure since the remote start harness is only using 1 wire. Is this Right?
Correct. Accessory and ignition from the DB3 and the Ignition (through a diode) are used.
On the 5 pin main harness:
1. Black - (-) to Ground
2. Brown - (+) to Siren
3. Red - (+) to constant 12v [BCM X4 Pin 1]
5. White - (-) to Parking lights [BCM X2 Pin 8]
Correct.
On the 10 pin remote start harness:
10. Pink - to (+) Ignition output on module [14 Pin connector Pin 8] and ignition switch connector pin 2 on vehicle, using a 1A diode.
Also need +12V power for the RS. I always provide power to all the 12V inputs. You certainly need pin 2 powered in this harness.
On the 24 pin harness:
9. Gray - to Hood Pin on vehicle [BCM under passenger dash, pin 17]
12. Violet/White - to (AC) Tach output on module [12 Pin connector Pin 5]
13. Black/white - to Parking brake on vehicle [BCM under passenger dash, pin 16]
16. Brown/Black - to horn trigger on vehicle [BCM under passenger dash, pin 18]
Yes. Pin 13 can be connected directly to ground (I assume your vehicle is automatic transmission).
Also, does the DB3 module handle starter kill, or do I need to use the orange wire (Pin 4) of the main 5 Pin harness? If I have to use the wire, I am assuming I need to manually install a relay, is that right?
Correct, It does not handle starter kill. You would cut the start wire from the ignition switch, and wire as follows:
85: Orange Ground When Armed from the Viper
86: + Ignition wire from ignition switch
cut start wire from ignition switch
30: Key side of start wire from ignition switch
87A: Engine side of start wire from ignition switch
Diode from 86 to 85, band toward 86.
I have also read about wiring the Tach instead of virtual Tach, for that I am assuming I would wire pin 12 of the 24 pin harness on the 5305V to the vehicle [ECM in engine compartment, gray 80 pin plug, pin 64], is that right? I have the 4.8L model.
The DB3 provides a data tach output. Hook up the Viper tach wire to the DB3 violet/white and try learning tach.
