Has anybody ever hooked their heated seats to the defogger output of their viper alarm?

Don't know, but it should be possible. But it would help a LOT if we knew what kind of car you were dealing with.

i do alot of the time. i always do it that way on my own cars. i figure if its cold enough to want to turn on the seat heaters its cold enough to turn on the rear window defroster and vise versa. i never use the 2nd status output either. i always use another channel so it can be turned on or off by pushing another button whenever its wanted.

I wouldn't drive too many relays with that ouput, though. If you are, isolate it with a relay. It only supports 250ma.

i will often hardwire most of my wires if possible. i avoid the d2d (rs232 dataport) since it can create some faults.

Which bypass module are you using, is the question. ------------- Ideal - cmon dude, add to topics in a useful manner, not stuff that is obvious.
Story - Phzzzt! Hey, what happened?! ... Isn't it obvious?
Moral - Never dismiss the obvious.
