Hey there folks,
So I bench prepped my Viper last night, and I realized I was a little foggy about the wire between the 571XV and the Bypass.
The bypass tells me to connect it's wire to the "ground while running" wire on the remote start.
The Viper remote start's wire most closely named to this is an orange wire called "ground while armed" and DEI says that it "can be wired to an optional starter kill" - mentions nothing that it would also be used for a bypass. Any ideas which wire should be going to the bypass?

Those are completely different wires. You need the blue "status output" wire. It goes to ground whenever the remote start is active.

Dude, this is the closest thing on the Viper I could find to that description. Is this it?
< size=3 face=OfficinaSans-Book>< size=3 face=OfficinaSans-Book>< size=2 face=OfficinaSans-Book>< size=2 face=OfficinaSans-Book>
"H3/1 BLUE/WHITE status/defogger output"
This wire supplies a 200mA output as soon as the module begins the remote start process. The H3/1 BLUE wire
can also be used to activate the defogger trigger (latched/pulsed) 10-seconds after the remote start engages.
See the Feature Descriptions section in this guide for details about programming this output.)< size=2 face=OfficinaSans-Book>< size=2 face=OfficinaSans-Book>

Yeah, thats it. Use it as the status output.

WAIT! I think I found it. I didn't realize it would be on the satellite relay, I thought it would be on the "brain".
Its the -200mv Status Output wire, blue, on the satellite relay?
< size=3 face=OfficinaSans-Book>< size=3 face=OfficinaSans-Book>
"Wire 7 : BLUE (-) 200 mA STATUS OUTPUT""

The blue on the satellite relay cable and the blue /white H3 1 effectively do the same thing. The other blue waits 10 seconds after starting and therefore wouldn't suit your purposes.
Orange GWA goes to ground when units is armed.
Blue on H3 goes to ground 10 secs. after R/S is initiated.
Blue/white on H3 goes to ground immediately on R/S initiation.
Blue on satellite relay cable ditto.
the blue on the satellite is a heavy guage wire and the others aren't so I guess I assumed it was carrying high current.....
I'll use the "Blue/white on H3 goes to ground immediately on R/S initiation" solution that you propose.
Thanks very much!
