Fantastic information found in this section. Many thanks to all who have contributed to my understanding of an alarm (DEI product) which is far more complex than the last one I installed several years ago. Can somebody tell me, though, what I would do with THREE Aux outputs that are available on the Viper 7901? Maybe one for trunk release, but what else would folks hook these Aux outputs to??? Just don't want to miss something obvious. I'll be installing in a truck and therefore won't even be able to use the trunk release option. Thanks in advance for any help provided. ------------- =\

In that you're limited only by your imagination and the number of electrical components on the vehicle - you could do window roll-down, headlights on for a time, remote controlled air horns, shaved door release on each door separately. Or anything else that you or the customer want to be able to control remotely.

Just wanted to see how fast you could beat me to this answer, I'd have suggested the headlights and window close/vent.
Another example, my ex-wife and the then girlfriend were both about 5'5" and I was 6'+. I set an acc for time to pull the driver's (powered) seat back before I actually got into the car and cracked my bloody head on the "A" pillar and my thighs on the steering wheel.

I think I get the idea. Don't have shaved door handles or a trunk on my truck, but I do like that idea about setting an Aux on a timer to move a seat forward or back. However, my wife is afraid to operate my truck and so I probably won't go through the hassle of wiring that option since it won't get used. Operating windows with one of the Aux channels is an idea, but I can't think of why or when I'd want to do that with the exception of rolling the windows down from inside the house before I get into a blazing hot vehicle in the summer time. What I do like the idea of, though, is having all the windows roll up when I arm the alarm (just in case I forgot to roll them up when I got out of the thing). I believe I can wire that option up. Many times I park the vehicle in front of my house and don't end up setting the alarm until I'm hitting the sack. In my former vehicle, there were a handful of times in which I set the alarm with one or more of the windows down. Motion sensor would have set the thing off if anybody tampered with it, but why tempt fate. Just thinking outloud. Thanks for the ideas guys. Installation begins in a few hours. Wish me luck.
