01 Acura CL / Autostart problem/790xv

Hi all,

I just had a viper 790xv installed this past weekend by an installer and all was good until I got home. Everytime I try to remote start the car, the factory alarm (horn) starts blaring! The car starts but the horn starts to honk and honk. At this point usually disarm then re-arm the alarm and the car stays running.

I told them about this and they are going to look at it this weekend, but I am pretty good with electronics ans if it is something simple that I can fix myself, I rather do it myself.

let me know

thanks ahead of time

Thanks for all of the replies guys, I figured it might have been the factory disarm wire that they failed to connect. One thing bothers me though...

If they didn't connect the factory disarm, why would I be able to arm and disarm viper and the factory alarm arms and disarms as well? The way I can tell the factory arm and disarm is working is becasue of the factory alarm LED"s and the fact that the factory alarm doesn't trip after disarming with viper and entering my vehicle. The only time the factory trips is when I remote start. Weird huh?

They told me over the phone that they have to install a relay to fix the problem since I requested that the horn honk with the viper alarm when tripped. In order to get the horn honking along with viper he said a relay had to be installed (for $30 extra). He said once they set that up that all will be fixed.

Another thing, the reason I wanted to try and fix it myself was becasue a)It is a pretty long drive b)these guys looked a little cheesy to me and it looks like I might be able to do a better job. I really messed up by going to these guys but it is too late now.

thanks all
