Dome light Diode

Yes there is....and it does not require a diode. All a diode will do is prevent the brain from seeing the door trigger at all which is what happened when you tried to use one.

look at the programming features chart in the manual. program the door sensor bypass chirp to "off"and this will wait for a length of time and ignore the signal from the door trigger when using domelight supervision for a door trigger on the vipers. I usually do it this way to save time and it works no problem.

Now what I don't understand is when you state it caused the alarm to trigger. regardless the dei's are designed so that if it picks up a door open when you arm it gives a second "chirp" to signify an open entry point on the doors and once the trigger signal goes away it should arm as normal and protect the doors.

You will find the feature in menu 2..advanced programming. It is easier with a bitwriter if you vs. programming manually however it gives clear directions. You just need to read it a few times because it might seem confusing at first if you have never done it before.

yeah, I much prefer using the bitwriter even though it needs to be updated all the time. But, for a DIY'er it is probably a waste of money if they don't do alot of DEI installs.

Once you get the hang of doing it manually it becomes so natural that it doesn't really take much time at all. As well if you need to change the programming in the future it is at times easier to do it through the switch and remote then locating the brain to plug the bitwriter in.

Cool

hey guys now i got another problem, the battery keeps on dying on me....anyone have similar problems, i checked and rechecked all the wiring seems to be good but i unplugged the viper no battery drain......
