Hi all,

I just want to say thanks in the past for the help. Maybe someone can help me with installing the same alarm into a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I want everyone who reads this know I'm not a professional. I'm in the United States Army stationed in Korea and the Koreans won't touch a Jeep. Says parts are to difficult to get and only work on foreign not domestic. I can't afford to have this alarm installed just like the last on They want to charge me $350.00. My Inlaws' liked their's alarm so much and said I had to have one. They bought me one after I installed theirs. So, I have the alarm, install manual, owner's manual and a little knowledge about installing my own alarms. Anyway's, I've been researching this website, and bulldog security. I think this is going to be more painful than installing in an 1996 honda civic. ie transponder, tearing the truck apart to get to wires that I really do not want to do. On the expresskits.com by directed says I could use I believe the XK01 bypass would work, but the 791xv doesn't have a dataport, or is it saying to hook this cable to the factory alarm system? Also it says it will do several jobs, but I only see a 10 pin wire set. I'm just so confused can anyone help? If you need more info I will.

You need to get a bypass if you have gray keys. The DEI bypass is the 555CW and runs about 25 bucks online. You will need two keys if i remember correctly to program it. Also you will need a 455JW. This unit runs about 35 bucks and will make this install a LOT easier. It will provide you with lock wires, door trigger and also control the factory alarm. Without it you will need 4 relays and have to access both front doors, weel worth the money. With the 455JW the truck is pretty easy. You will need some resistors for parking lights, but even that is easy....

Just wondering, Yep Curiosity killed cat not my intentions but the xk01 says it provides wires for all doors, door triggers, all lights (dome, and parking), defogger, entry point status, and much more. You don't think this will be better? I found one online for about 44.95 I believe. Maybe the data 2 data cable has to be hooked up, or just the wire 2 wire can be hooked up. Any I want to thank you for posting a repl, I have read some replies from nubees that didn't sound too good. Anyways whatever you say I will do, got to get the parts first but I want to exhaust my options first to get the best, bucause I plan on getting the most out of this alarm, but just can't afford over 350.00 in parts. Again thank you and I'm looking foward to your opinion.

xk01 for your door looks and dome light door trigger and a couple of more little thing and use a 556u (made by DEI) for you immobilizer bypass not need to look for any wires all you need is an aditional key that you will lose once you put it in the module or a 555c but you still need 2 keys to program it just read everything carefully and make sure that you have the right firmware on the xk01. for the parking lights MUST used a relay and is a negative trigger thru a 1300 ohm resistor

XK01 needs programming while the 455JW is good right out of the box. Niether will do Parking lights on a Jeep. Like DTK, i prefer a 556UW for the bypass but it will need it's own key. The 555CW is a little tricky for someone that hasn;t done one before. You could get a 556UW, get a blank key on Ebay for 15 bucks, get it cut where you are now and program it yourself(provided you have two working keys already for the Jeep). The 556UW is bulletproof, works everytime with zero hassle.

As for parking lights, i have never isolated the light wire like they say to from DEI. I always simply add a resistor to the wire and it's done. Works everytime with no relay....

Sweet I appreciate the info. I will do it the basic and more cheaper way. I will order the XK01, the risitor, and the 555CW. I have two grey keys and have the directions and think I can do it. If problems arise I have ya'll to give me advice, I hope. So I'm going to order the parts and then I will install. I will keep this topic up to date if I have troubles. It may take a few weeks. I will keep responding to the advice I get on this topic. The more info the better. Another reason I chose the XK01 it has the window roll-up feature and would like to do this. It has the defrost, heater, A/C feature I would like to use this also. Anyways you catch my drift I want to install all features that the 791xv offers. Thanks.

I'm not sure about this but i don't think the XK01 will do windows and heater control features on your Jeep. You might want to check into this a little more. Also, be aware the 455JW is much more installer friendly...

You know like I said, I'm not a pro. Thank you. It's just because It says on the xpresskit.com that the XK01 has either wire 2 wire analog, which I need wires, because the viper 791xv does not have a data port, only a bitwriter port with a three pin and not a four pin like on the XK01. So I'm assuming this will not work for data only the violet wire that connects to the OBDII on the diagnostic plug in the vehicle.Not to insult your intellegence, but I will upload the manuals for these bypass kits. Thanks and let me know what you find out. 791 xv 2000 jeep grand cherokee -- posted image.
