I recently bought a car with a Python 1400xp Remote start installed and wanted to change it to something better such as the Python 581xp or the Viper 591xv, so i have two questions, which is "better" the Viper or Python I know they are both made by DEI. so are they identical? and when I get either one of these systems can I still use the same wiring harness from the Python 1400xp?

Really!! is it that easy? but what if I want to have an alarm as well do I need a shock sensor? and will it just plug into it?

then you will need to get a brain that has a shock sensor input. The shock sensor is plug and play. Just hook up the door trigger and trunk trigger wires. Thats it. the 581 and 591 are r/s and keyless no alarm. You need a 791 or 771 for the alarm.

well I was wrong as to the model alarm its a 1600xp so it is an alarm and now I have a problem, the LED is one of those El stickers that say python and light up. except it doesnt even light or flash im thinking it may be dis connected but the parking lights dont do any thing either I can probably figure all that out but any suggestions are more than welcome. as far as changing my 1600xp to a responder alarm would THIS work?

that antenna would work. For that price, maybe look at a full package viper 791xv for about 200. Then you would have everything. New module and all thw wiring. Just plug and play. You would need to just program it.

The led is a two pin plug. I dont know anything about the el stickers.

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.

Is everything working, r/s alarm and keyless?
