viper 791xv, 96 civic

1st off, get a GOOD digital multi-meter.

Read on this site about "relays"

So, your car does NOT have power door locks stock?

Im not familiar with the viper product, make sure you can SAFELY install it into a manual trans car, you dont want to run a child over cause you forgot if your car was in gear!

Your clutch override is a NEG(-) blue and black

GOOD LUCK and Be very safe!!!

This alarm is not reccomended for a manual transmission!!!!!!!! It is extermly dangerious to yourself and others. All it takes is that one time that it is left in gear and goodbye.

If it is a must, I am not familiar with viper products myself but just installed one in my truck on sunday. I am an experanced installer and it took me 6 full hours to comlete the task. It is a very through alarm and takes time.

Viper makes some great products but they don't recommend manual transmissions. If you are going to install it you should consider looking at the car's wiring manual a little closer. Look to see you can tap into the parking brake line with the BLACK/ white stripe wire from one of the secondary harness's. 2nd, look to see if you can add some type of magnetic switch to your gear shifter so when the shifter is in 1st gear it opens a circuit and would prevent the starter from even cranking. I know my Sub 04 WRX actually has a neutral switch similiar to this setup. I wired yhe parking brake wire in series with the neutral switch, diode isolated both, and connected them to the BLACK/ white wire from the secondary harness. So in conclusion my auto start doesn't work unless the car is in N and the parking brake is applied.

I don't use the pins on my own vehicles either. The only exception is on ym 04 WRX because it's a manual. It would really suck if I RS after an oil change and it ran me over.

alright so i basically have the majority of this bad boy hooked up, but as i'm testing it out i have a few problems

1)my first problem is whenever i arm the alarm, the indicator displays a flashing door for a second or two then goes away......is this normal??? or is there some wiring i need to change?

2)when i tried to learn my tach signal it says in the manual to start the car with the key, then press the valet switch and hold within 5 seconds of turning on the car......it didnt work......i held it for a while and there was no blinking led......did i screw something up?

3)my remote start doesnt work!!!!!!!.....i tried engaging it, but all it does is: all my accesory lights flash and turn on for a second, but no remote start......it sounds like it wants to do it, but the engine never cranks......what wire did i screw up????
