Viper 800 esp on Honda CR-V 2003

A few things: First, be advised that if you haven't got the unit yet, a lot of dealers won't sell them without installation. In addition, DEI only warranties Viper product if it was installed by an authorized dealer. It kind of sounds like you already have it? though, so feel free to ignore the above if that applies. Here's how I like to do my alarm installs. Step 1: Get wire color information on the vehicle. 2: Go into the vehicle. Verify that the wires are all where they are supposed to be, and all test with the appropriate voltage. Use a DMM of course to test them. Carefully remove the appropriate interior panels to access the wires. 3: Plan where you will mount the alarm hardware, run the wires, and make your connections. The brain should be away from any moving parts, and as invisible as you can make it. I like to put it near the radio or climate controls if possible. For the LED, small blank switch pieces are good, as is the top piece of the steering column shroud. For the valet switch, I like inside the glovebox or fuse panel. Shock sensor should be ziptied securely to a wiring harness that's pretty easy to access; don't tie it to metal. 4: Take the brain and wires over to the workbench. Cut off any wires you won't need, and group the other wires by where they're going on the car, so you have nice neat smaller wire groups. I like to wrap a lot of the wiring with tape at this point to make it look more like the factory wiring. 5. Once that's done, take the brain and wiring over to the car. Mount the brain and other hardware, and run your wires to where they need to hook up. Zip tie the harnesses so that they aren't near moving parts and look neat. 6. Make your wire connections, starting with the ground wire. Make sure the ground wire terminal is crimped well, screwed securely to the chassis, and will be covered up by a body panel if possible. All other connections should be soldered and taped, in my opinion. Run the siren wires through an existing grommet to the underhood if you can. 7. Test everything out - doors obviously should trigger the alarm, as should striking the vehicle with an open hand on the A-pillar. Panic and lock and unlock should also be tested. 8. Above all, be careful and patient. Watch where you're drilling, don't short any wires to ground, and read the manual for the unit. Don't hesitate to e-mail or pm me if you have any further questions.
