Viper 800 ESP on 99 Accord

Greetings to all,

This would be my 1st post. I just purchsed the Viper 800 ESP (140.00+S/H). I think I have just enough (or almost) experience about car installs. I installed everything (audio-set-up) myself and most of my friends but haven't tried installing a Security system (quite intimidating). There is an exsisting basic alarm installed btw the I-have-to-get-rid-of-this-thing CHECKMATE. I know you guys would love to see me get that thing off my system...so I'm begging you... pls. pls... help me out here. If you guys can show me and help me install the V-800 ESP I would really appreciate that.

If you guys can walk me through on the installation, I would be more than willing to brave the winter cold and crawl in and under my car if I have to.

My car is a 4cyl. auto trans. btw.

Thank you very much in advance and happy holidays!

Well if you pretty good at installing a car stereo and really familiar with wire diagrams and know how to use a DMM meter, first thing you have to look for is your manual for your alarm,  print this out if you don't have one

1. http://www.directed.com/guides/pdfs/N381V.pdf   is the alarm manual

2.  1999 Honda Accord Alarm Information

3, Give me your e/m and I'll send you a manual on how to install alarms. IS THERE A REMOTE START on this alarm?

Just to add to this line of questioning (btw, this is MY first post too..), I'm putting a remote start on a 99 accord 2dr V6.  I'm 98% sure that I installed everything correctly (proper tach sense wire, BOTH ign and accy wires powered up).  However, when I activate the remote start, starter will engage, but it won't start.  One of the things I'm unsure if is if this model requires a transponder bypass module or if there's a factory security system that needs to be disarmed for remote starts to activate. 

Any insight that anyone could give me would be helpful, as this is a present for my gf, and I'm doing this while she is at work..

Oh, and just so you know, I'm installing a Crimestopper CS-700 II.

Make sure you have your starter  wire hooked up on the remote relay, and ground  your safety toggle switch if you have one,  see  if your  relays are working fine on your remote start,

Does this alarm come basic with a remote start,  or is it an add on?

Like the rest of the new alarms like Clifford and Viper550esp then come standard,

Thanks for the infos! I do have the MANUAL for the alarm (downloaded it frm site). Has anyone of you installed the V-800 ESP? If so, have anyone encountered any difficulties or came up with something a bit confusing that needs extra attention?

More safety/handy TIPS will be more than welcome

Thanks man! icufsh2@yahoo.com REMOTE START is an OPTION on the 800ESP in which I would be adding. Here's a link of the 800ESP features just in case http://www.drdetailshop.com/VIPERCOMPARE.html

Bought it new from Ebay :) It was "buy it now DUTCH auction" for 139.99+s/h. Was it a good deal  ???

On your Honda Accord you have a transponder factory security system.  To bypass this system you have two options:  1.   There's a module you can purchase from any audio store  2.   You can hard wire yourself .  Take the stering column down, around the key cyclinder is where the actual transpondser is located.  First take your spare key and somehow attach it close to the cyclinder.  Try to remote start your vechile, it might take a little bit of effort moving the key around if you can get it to work hot glue or somehow attach your spare key there.  And put your column back on.  If you use the module it would be better and safer, it is expensive but well worth it.  Just take your time and read your instructions.

thats an EXCELLENT deal!

it does have alot of extras, so plan it out well before putting anything in the car, bench prep it as much as possible for all the options your going to use, or use in the future. Take your time and do it right the first time. The Accord is a very simple car, only bummer is the door trigger on the passengers side in the fuse box multiplex. Other than that, it's pretty basic. So hide things well.
