Hows it going guys,
I was referred here by some people on one of my mazda forums and I have been reading up on some of the other threads regarding installing viper remote start/security on mazda 3 hatchbacks and mazdaspeed 3s since their wiring is identical i believe up until the 2010 models since they have been redesigned. I have already printed out from my service manual the connector diagrams for the pcm and the entire passenger junction box behind the glove box which is where most of the wires i will need are located (except for the remote start wiring). If you guys need a link to these let me know i can maybe email one of you the appropriate pages. I really dont want to pay almost 300 more dollars for this install that i feel i an do myself since i have already had my entire car torn apart basically during my turbo timer/audio install.
I am pretty experienced as far as wiring goes. I have been doing my own car audio installs for the past five years including amps head units, subs, signal processors, etc. as well as installing my turbo timer on my speed 3 last year. That was my first time really messing with ignition harness wiring and this alarm seems to be a lot more involved since i have never had to mess with relays, diodes, and things like that and i hope i will not need to with this install. I saw on another thread here that i should use the dome light wire for the door pin wire since i don't know how to "diode seperate" all four door signals to be used. Also Do i need to hook up the H1/6 (Violet) or H1/8 (Green) for the door trigger? I have several other questions however regarding the pkfm module that i will be using to bypass the factory pats immobilizer and some features on the alarm itself.
I hope some of you guys can help me out here.
First question,
Do you have to do like these instructions below that i copied from the pkfm install instructions in step 3 and use a jumper or some crap in order to program the module?
After all connection is done, if the LED stay OFF, the module is already programmed. If the module has never been programmed, the
LED will comes ON and will stay ON until the programming is finished.
1- Turn the first valid key to "ON" position, until the security light goes OFF. Put the key OFF and remove from ignition.
2- Within 5 seconds, turn the second valid key to "ON" position until security light goes OFF. Put the key OFF and remove from
ignition.
*On manual transmission vehicle, you have to do wire programming before connect D2D.*
3 -
! For automatic transmission vehicle, start the vehicle with remote starter, the module is programmed.
! For manual transmission vehicle, connect temporarily the brown wire of module to vehicle Ground. Use a jumper wire to power up
the vehicle ignition.
! When the LED goes OFF and start to flash once per second, the module is programmed.
! If the LED stay ON, repeat from Step 1.
4- For D2D connection, disconnect the module and connect D2D connector and 10 PIN connector.
*Each time the GWR is power up or detected in D2D, the LED flash once per second.
Second Question
Can i use the virtual tach feature on a ms3 or do i have to do like the install book says and use the tach source from a fuel injector and teach it the signal and all that crap? It just seems unnecessary with the virtual tach feature available.
Third Question
Do i need to hook up the separate wire for the trunk (or hatch) popper on my car since the unlock button usually unlocks the hatch on the factory remote? This is wire H1/1 on the 5901.
Fourth
Does the turbo timer/remote start feature on a manual car require the little switch they show in the install manual to be depressed each time you exit the car in order for each of these features to be used? Is that little switch the same one used for valet mode?
Fifth
I see on the PKFM install manual that it utilizes the Transmit and Receive wire from the factory system. Does this info tie into the main brain of the viper via the D2D cable and save me from tapping into the lock/unlock, door triggers, etc or are those wires just used for bypassing the factory PATS??
Sixth
Can i use the feature that lets you unlock the driver's door with one push of the unlock button and the rest of the doors with a second push? If so can you tell me which wires on the diagram you used? I see that on the J-06 connector pin T is the generic Lock/Unlock wire, but on Connector J-05 there is a pin L that says it is for Driver Side Door Unlock Control and Im guessing that would be used for Viper wire H2/6 but im not sure. There is also a Pin Y on J-05 that says it is passenger unlock and Pin AP that says Door lock control. Could anyone just shed some light on which ones i need to use for this feature if it is even possible?
I have located all the other necessary pins for hood, brake, parking lights, horn etc already however so i have a little start on what i need.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
