Hi

Just got done installing a viper 5301 and I tapped into the + brown parking lights at the BCM they work but when remote started at night the head light sensor turns on the head lights right away and when you unlock/lock the parking lights don’t blink is there any way to get around this so the head lights are off at night and the parking lights are only on and they blink when you lock and unlock at night? 

Thanks

could try to find the auto lights wire and open it with a relay set for GWR
That might work or it might not
also not sure which one it is

might also be able to cut the power to the switch instead of the auto wire.
easy to check just disconnect the harness from the switch if that works then you could just cut the power to it

Try latching the e-brake wire with a negative ignition output. I think GM's don't turn on the autolights if the ebrake is on.

easy hook a wire to the dk GREEN / WHITE e-brake, then hook that wire to the 87 of relay
then ground 30
put an output from the alarm to 85 set for gwr or ignition
then hook 12v to the other terminal 86
done

also note that it will turn the brake light on on the dash and it will stay on while remote started
