Viper 560XV w/ 555I, 2002 Civic

Oh well, it's a done deal.  I gave my extra key and it was buried in the 555U.  I asked for the failed 555I but the installer said it's a swap with their 555U and it's going back to DEI for a credit.  But so far all features are working fine except when I use Honda's keyless remote control.  When I press the Honda remote's unlock button while car's armed, it triggers an alarm.  I noticed it after returning home with the car.  Assuming 560XV's door sense is connected to a dome light, so when Honda remote unlock the door(s), the 560XV senses the dome light turning on, it triggers an alarm.  It's no big deal since chance of using the Honda remote with 560XV alarm is not likely, but would be nice to rid of all kinks in case I decide to sell the car.  Can anyone think of a fix so the alarm won't sound in that situation?   Also, I haven't tried but anyone know if it would cause any problem if I unplug the Honda keyless module in the car? 

When engine's idling after a remote start, parking lights keep blinking and I was told that's the function of 560XV.  Can the lights be eliminated with DEI Bitwriter?  If so, will the change by Bitwriter cause other default setting to skew? 

Boy is it nice to be able to start the car remotely.  I love it!  Definitely will be part of my future cars.  By then, we'll have a two-way remote thru our cell phone to see current status and with unlimited range!  That'll be handy.

Again and again, thanks for feedbacks guys!

Teken, They charged me a standard installation fee for a full install.  I can say I payed too much.

They yanked out many of my wires and installed their own.  All of their connections were made with t-taps or crimps which I let them know I was uncomfortable with it, but they said there's a life time guarantee so that took care of that.

My siren, model 514N, quit making any noise when I just changed the tilt angle.  Everything else seems to be working ok.  I want to do a quick check myself.  Can I just apply a 12V straight into the two wires from the siren?

Teken,  I snipped wires near the siren and applied 12V and it blared off fine, then with a volt meter checked the line signal to the siren and that checked okay also-- with chirp signal condition just a momentary upward meter deflection and a full 12V indication with full alarm trigger condition.  I connected back the wires and the siren worked fine.  I don't have a clue why there was no sound just before I snipped the wires.  Weird! 

And for the door sense , when I have time I'll disconnect it from the dome light trigger to the three door sense wires, and of course I'll put in isolation diode on each line. That should eliminate the Honda romote unlock triggering alarm when armed.

Tomorrow, I'm going back to the installer and ask them to either show me where they placed the remote shutdown toggle switch.  If it was not installed, I'll ask them to put it in.  Or is it a common practice to not installing that switch? 

The installer taped off the  brain and unused wires pretty good and they told me if I touch it the life time warrenty will be voided.  I'm going to ask them to pull out defogger wire and two auxiallary wires and put them in an accessible location.

Happy Holidays,
