viper 5900 on 07 dodge ram issue

Well this doesnt have to do with the remote start, the horn beeps after I have entered the vehicle and started it, it beeps like twice, was just wondering if there was a way to turn that off with the remote of if its a programming option that i would have to take back to best buy to get done. 

the owners manual for the truck says that i can disable the horn honking when locking the vehicle (press and hold the lock button for four seconds and then press the panic button and release them together), i have tried to disable the horn honking, but apparently the viper 5900 is not allowing me to do that, what came with the truck is just keyless entry not an alarm system. the horn honks a few seconds after i have manually started the vehicle, it beeps like twice and doesnt beep anymore. yeah the vehicle horn beeps when activating the alarm, beeps a couple of times. i had the system installed at best buy, i stopped by there the other day and asked him why the horn beeps after i have manually started the vehicle, but he didnt know, and he didnt know how to disable it, he said he would get back with me, but he hasnt, i should be able to stop at any authorized installer since its still under warranty right? Thanks.

There are three different things you can do, the first you can try yourself via the install manual that can be found on this website using the valet switch.  It may fix it.

1- Turn off ignition controlled locks(when you turn on your car the doors lock automatically, but newer cars do it anyway so turn it off)

2- Wire a relay for the ground while running for the bypass module. 86--ignition,  85--ground while running from remote start, 30---ground, and 87--brown wire from bypass module.

3- use the pink wire from the relay pack(small little plug on the relay pack not the positive thick ignition wire) and connect it to the brown wire from the bypass module. 

The 2nd and third require you to have it wired to the brown wire and take off the wire that was on it.  Hence, pink to brown direct and not the wire that the brown had connected to it.

what module did he use to bypass the remote start system.  Did he use an XK03 only??? He is suppose to use an XK532.  The horn honking is the factory alarm.  This is a common issue with the bypass modules.  Although its on the xk532 which controls the factory alarm and does the bypass.

Also, you are still not able to remote start your car??????

I dont have my paperwork here to know which modules he used, but to my knowledge he only used what came with the Viper 5900 system, the only things extra I had installed was a backup battery and a motion sensor. The truck didnt originally come with remote start, but the Viper 5900 system came with it, well 7 hours later when I went to get the truck he told me that he couldnt get the remote start to work and that he called DEI and they couldnt figure it out either, he said i could buy a module (I have module model number wrote down at home) and a key from the dealership and that would get it working, I havent done that yet because the key that the dealership cuts and programs to my vehicle will cost about $200.

So right now the only thing you have working on your truck is the alarm?  The remote start is not working at all, correct?  The installer should have known prior to you even purchasing the 5900 system that he was going to need a bypass module.  The remote start is NOT going to work without a bypass module.  The installers there have access to directechs info, and it should've stated there which module to use, which he then would have to ring you up for.  That just sounds like poor customer service to me......not dogging the installer, but even a half decent installer would know of EVERYTHING he/she needs to get the job done right, and get the job done the 1st time!  Like enice said, the xk532 module from DEI should do the trick.

Do you have two keys, or just one?  just curious because it's not that old of a vehicle, and I would imagine that when you bought it you would atleast get two keys.  If you do have two keys, then you wouldn't lose one and you would still be able to bypass the transponder system with the XK532 module.

One thing kind of bothers me though....you mentioned that he talked to DEI tech support about the remote start and that together they couldn't get it to work!  IMO....BS!!  The first thing that they would have asked him is what kind of bypass he was using.  "Uh, i don't have one"....that would have been his response! 

All I would have to say about this is WOW.......

Im sorry but I could understand the installer not knowing the module but at least the shop manager would know this.  He must of used an XK03 because the horn honking means the factory alarm is either turning off or on and is being triggered by the 5900. At my shop we strive to know everything before the install.  If we cant do it at that moment is because there is something wrong with the programming.  The bypass modules are sometimes hard to program but that would usually be the issue.  Try doing this.  Have your key in the ignition of the car and DONT turn it to the on position.  Remote start the car.  See if it turns on and stays on.  If it does then thats all you need is a bypass module.  Might of well get a 556u to make it easier.

well you first check to see if the mux wire is hitched up

i would recommend a module vs key in a box

the module will do mux plus key or just key if needed

if he loses a key its a paiin in the buttox to get the one under the dash out

so put the key up to the key cylinder then try starting it

well thats exactly what i stated earlier in my post. Try turning the feature off on the 5900. Get the install manual in the download section of this website and program it.
