Hello-

I am trying to add a OEM trunk release to my 2008 Honda Civic.  I have everything wired correctly but I am not getting a signal from my Viper 5101 starters RED / white wire to activate the trunk release.  I know this because if I touch a seperate wire from a ground bolt to the alarm/relay connection, everything works as it should.

When I hold down the aux button, it just unlocks the front door only, doesnt not lock it or do anything else.  Is it programming issue with the alarm, a valet switch issue, or wires crossed? backfeed or something?  I didnt do the original starter install.

Finally, any advice as to where to power this? I have the relay close to the starter brain above the pedals-t tap or add a circuit perhaps?

Thank you so much.

All other buttons work properly.  The Honda key will unlock just the front door if you press it once, maybe there is a related issue?

Honda's key fob is built into the ignition key, so it is on my keychain along with the Viper fob.

Well the thing is the lock and unlock wires from the viper brain is usually hooked up to the lock and unlock wires in the car I suspect the person that did the install thought he put that RED / white to the trunk release wire and wired it to the unlock wire for the door

Lock and unlock work as they should on the viper remote.

The factory wiring uses the green wire. This would only work if I added a new wire to the wire harness that feeds the rear electrical components and my newly added release. In other words if I had a oem fob with the trunk release option, there are several options to modify this method.
Sorry if I'm jumping the gun, but how would that relate to the viper wiring?
