97 Sebring, Viper 560XV

Whoa..didn't realized I replied to my own topic earlier about the relays instead of starting a new topic. Anway 2 questions remaining:1. Does the viper alarm disarm automatically when I pop the trunk (AUX button)2. What is the easiest way to go from the ignition wire (12V) to my 4 relays with fuses between. Is there a blade-fuse distribution block or something I can buy??Oh and I guess 3. saw that the polarity that is output from the RS is the same as is needed to arm/disarm my factory system, but then it references a relay even for the (-) output, which is what it is by default??Thanks!

Hello,I am installing a Viper 560 in my 97 Sebring LXi. It has factory progressive door unlock built in (ie, works that way with the factory remote.) Will progressive door unlocking be as easy as just hooking up the unlock trigger from the Viper to the unlock wire in my Sebring? Thanks.ED7

you have to find the driver unlock motor, cut the wire and put a relay into it.then tahe the two pin door harness and take the unlock to the relaythe second unlock will go to power unlock in the car

Hrmm...this doesn't sound like what I have been reading. Why do I need to do this, again? And can you possibly draw a diagram for the relay wiring for me? Nothing pretty..can just be text. Thanks.

On some Newer Vehicles, a simple Negative Pulse will Unlock Driver Door First, then another Negative Pulse will Unlock the rest.On your 97 Sebring, you will need a SPDT Relay to Unlock Driver Door First.Find the Driver UNLOCK Motor Wire @ Relays, Kickpanel, or Door boot.Cut wire in half( Test for voltage by pressing Door Switch )One half goes to Unlock SwitchOne half goes to Actuator ( Motor )SPDT Relay:PIN 87 =  12 Volts ( + ) ConstantPIN 87a =  wire from Door UnLock SwitchPIN 30 =  wire to ActuatorPIN 85 = 1st Negative UnLock Output from AlarmPIN 86 = Constant 12 volt ( + )MO

Ok...i can do that. Is that all I need to get progressive unlocking working? Or does that only take care of the driver's door? I am having a hard time visualizing what is actually happening. Thanks for all the help, you guys really take care of the "newbs" here :)

Hello-Me again..just trying to get all the wiring down on my car. I have a 97 Sebring LXi with a factory alarm system. I am installing a Viper 560XV in that car. I would like to disarm the factory alarm when I disarm the viper, and arm the factory when I arm the viper. It seems that there is a (-) wire for disarming and arming the system in my car (GREEN/ YELLOW arm, and GREEN / WHITE disarm). It also seems that there is a corresponding (-) wire on the viper for doing this (ltg/blk disarm, and G/W arm), however, the manual for the viper indicates that I will need to use a relay for this function. If my car wants (-) and the viper puts out (-), then why would I need a relay. Sorry this is obvious, but thanks for the help in advance!

Some Installers use Relays ( because it is recommended ), some wire direct.

Meter the Factory Arm/Disarm wire while turning the key in the driver door key cylinder.

Also, since you have Factory Alarm:

 To unlock only the driver door on models with keyless entry, use BROWN / blue (-) at the relays behind the radio.....( if it's there )

Ok so if I use my first unlock wire from the viper into the BROWN / blue (-) behind the radio to unlock the driver door, then use the 2nd unlock wire from the viper to the brown (-) wire this would give me progressive door unlocking without the relay?? Thanks

Only if it is there..........Meter wires firstMO
