the parking lights may not be hooked up. See the white wire in the main harness and see where it goes. It may not be hooked to anything. Give some more info on the car and if anything else is not working.

Wow. Right on the Money, the white wire was not hooked up but thats taken care of now!

Ok I ordered a 791xv from e-bay but I only planon using the antenna and remote for now cause the alarm I already have is fairly new so I have one more question in order to program the remote to the alarm do I have to erase all remotes first? or do I just use the programing instructions like I would any other remote? cause I dont think the one way remotes will work with the new antenna, Right?

you will plug in the antenna and program the new remote to the antenna. Leave the old antenna in so that all you have to do is switch the antenna cable to the old antenna and it will work with the one way antenna.

You need to replace the antenna cable because for the responder it has four wires. In the one way cable, there is three wires in a four pin plug. The fourth is for the responder. The new cable is backwards compatable with the one way antenna.

if you switch antennas, you do not need to reprogram. The antenna keeps the memory of the remotes.

so I would switch antennas and cable first, then program the new antenna to the new remote and basicaly thats it. Right?

but I could leave the old one way antenna in so I can switch to the old remotes any time I want, I would just have to disconnect the two way antenna and connect the one way antenna but not change the cable. Right?

So is it the antenna that stores the remote info or the brain? I ask this cause I thought the remote that comes with the system is already programed to work with the system if this is true then It would be a "plug and play installation" but for some reason that does'nt sound right. Thanks for all the help.

I went through the alarm and the people that installed the alarm should be shot, they didnt even solder any wires together just twisted them together and used electrical tape they used som quick splicers on some but thats about it so I pretty much re installed it myself.

the antenna stores the memory of the remote.

switch the cable witht he foyur wires betweent he two antennas and whatever antenna is hooked up, those remotes will work either one way or two way.

depends on the install if they solder or not. it is faster not to.

so if you bought a new system and switched the antenna, the remotes would not work and have to be reprogrammed to the new antenna. So technically it would not be plug and play.

Thanks for all the help. but I have another question. I read in another post that to make a DEI siren chirp louder you can just cut the black(not black with white stripe) wire loop on the back of the siren itself. Is this correct? I just want it to chirp louder. Thanks

there is a way to cut the wires to make it louder. I have to check which wire to cut.

it is true to cut the black wire only for the delete of soft chirp.

There are 6 tones.

1,2,3,4,5,6. You can cut any of the numbers to delete that tone.

OIf you cut the BLACK/ white, you will delete tones 2-6

I have another Question but rather than start another thread I decided to ask here.

Does the python 1600xp have the feature when you arm or disarm you get a "confirmation flash" from the parking lights?

For example when you press the lock button the siren chirps once and the parking lights flash once, when you unlock the siren chirps twice and the lights flash twice. cause my car does chirp the siren but it does'nt flash the lights. Thank You
