Viper 791xv, options, siren

he said its hooked up to the door switches..

is one door open? do you have a dmm to check to see if all is operating right? will the installer reprogram it and see what happens?

it only seems to happen every now and then.. it hasnt happened the last few times...

ok i've tried to get it to do it again, but it hasnt done it so maybe it was just a hiccup..? anyway took it to the installer and they said it isnt possible for them to make it chirp twice at arm instead of once. kind of disappointing... i was looking at the whole dome light ignition thing, what does that do exactly? it sounds like maybe it keeps the dome light on for a certain amount of time or something? can someone explain that to me..?

I read on the siren box that you can make the arm/disarm chirp louder by cutting the black wire on the siren.., but is it the only black wire there? i dont want to cut the wrong one and have to resplice... and also, it says to cut the wire as close to the siren as u can, but what if i wanted to reconnect it at some point? would it be ok to leave enough there to splice it back together if i had to?

you can leave the wire long if you want. just cutting the wire at all makes the siren louder.Thank you all

ok that worked, its louder and i can actually hear it now.. thanks!

ok i figured out what the deal is.. the installer said he used the door pins, but the car says the door is open if i try to arm it before the interior lights go out, but if i wait for the lights to go out then arm it, it always works... anyway to fix that? its not a real big deal, but if its an easy fix why not?

i noticed my installer made the siren face up.. i thought they were always supposed to face down to keep water out? is it going to cause a problem or am i ok?

i just had the 791xv installed and i am finding the range to be a little less than what i need, i read on here that all i need from the 5900 for the extended range is the remote/antenna/brain and that all the wiring for my current 791xv will plug into the new brain etc. Now first off is that absolutely true? i dont want to buy this and find out that it wont work... and also is it worth it?
