I was wondering if anyone that's installed a 5901 could go over the wiring below (for a 2010 ridgeline rtl).. i'm not sure about some of the connections:

H1/ 1 -> *not used H1/ 2 -> (+) 12V, White, IGN H1/ 3 -> TO DEI SIRENS (5901 + 513T) H1/ 4 -> *not used H1/ 5 -> Chassis Ground H1/ 6 -> *not used H1/ 7 -> TO DEI TILT (507M)/DEI BACKUP BATTERY (520T) H1/ 8 -> *not used H1/ 9 -> DOME SUPERVISION RELAY (is this needed?) H1/10 -> *not used H1/11 -> *not used H1/12 -> TO DEI BACKUP BATTERY (520T)
H2/ 1 -> *not used H2/ 2 -> *not used H2/ 3 -> *not used H2/ 4 -> *not used H2/ 5 -> *not used H2/ 6 -> *not used H2/ 7 -> *not used H2/ 8 -> *not used H2/ 9 -> TACHOMETER Input (is this needed)? H2/10 -> *not used H2/11 -> *not used H2/12 -> *not used H2/13 -> *not used H2/14 -> *not used H2/15 -> Hood Pin Switch H2/16 -> *not used H2/17 -> (+) Brake Wire, Light Blue Pin 26, Brake Switch H2/18 -> Chassis Ground
H3/ 1 -> ??? H3/ 2 -> ??? H3/ 3 -> (+) Accessory, Yellow, IGN H3/ 4 -> (+) Starter (ECM Side), BLACK/ White, IGN H3/ 5 -> (+) Starter (Car Side), BLACK/ White, IGN H3/ 6 -> (+) Ignition, BLACK / YELLOW, IGN H3/ 7 -> ??? H3/ 8 -> ??? H3/ 9 -> ??? H3/10 -> *not used
Door Lock Harness None
CANMAX400 DEI 11 -> CAN BUS SW (Data), BROWN / Black Pin 4 (dash fuse box) 14 -> Immobilizer Data, RED / Blue Pin 2 (ICU) 16 -> (-) Security Light Key Side, Light Blue/Orange Pin 5 (ICU) 20 -> (-) Security Light ECM Side, Light Blue/Orange Pin 5 (ICU)
nstalling : VIPER 5901 w/ CANMAX400DEI 506T GLASS-BREAK SENSOR (goes to the optional port on the 5901) 507M TILT SENSOR 520T BACKUP BATTERY 513T MINI PIEZO SIREN
Questions: 1) There is a "Light Polarity Fuse" under where the CANMAX400DEI goes on the 5901- is this needed for a ridgeline? if so, what should this be set to? 3) Is the Tach Input on H2 needed? The CANMAX400DEI manual says D2D handles the Tach Output, and since it's a dockable module, do I need to connect anything? (i've been researching, and some people just loop back the tach from the w2w wire, but they don't use the DEI versioN) 4) I'm not sure about pins 1,2,7,8,9 on the remote start wiring... anyone have any ideas? 5) For the Hood Pin Switch on H2/15, can the D2D bus recognize this (the wiring info below says there's a wire i can connect to, or install a separate one provided with the 5901)?
the 2009 ridgeline's wiring is the same as 2010 i believe (here): 12 Volts white (+) ign Starter BLACK/ white (+) ign Ignition BLACK / YELLOW (+) ign Accessory yellow (+) ign Second Accessory WHITE/ black (+) ign
Any other comments or suggestions are helpful - this is my first install, so i'd like to make sure everything goes smoothly
Thanks! -Pete

light polarity fuse, is for your parking lights and depends on what wire you hit for them, that vehicle has two, blue (-), or RED / black (+), put the fuse in the jumper depending on what wire you hit.
The tach input is done by the canmax so is the hood pin and brake wire. Dome supervision is optional.
All red, RED / white, RED / black go to 12v constant.
Pink goes to ignition (BLACK / YELLOW)
Pink/white goes to second ignition. (or is programmable to do second accessory which is orange)
Pink/black isn't needed.
D2D does all this:
DL-Arm Factory Security
DL-Disarm Factory Security
DL-Door Lock Control
DL-Door Unlock
DL-Driver Priority Unlock
FOB-CAN Alarm Control w/ FOB remote
PK-Immobilizer Bypass-Data No Key Req'd
RS-Tach / RPM Output
SS-CAN Alarm control w/ FOB remote
SS-Entry Monitoring ALL Door Pins
SS-Entry Monitoring Driver Door Pin
SS-Entry Monitoring Hood Pin
ST-Brake Status (foot brake)
ST-Ignition Status

thanks!
so just to be sure:
H1/9 BLACK/ WHITE (-) 200mA DOME LIGHT SUPERVISION OUTPUT -> optional (i don't care if the dome light turns on with the alarm) H1/11 WHITE PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT -> if i don't wire this, will the lights still flash (using the factory alarm?)
All Optional: H2/9 VIOLET/WHITE TACHOMETER INPUT H2/15 GREY (-) HOOD PIN INPUT (N/C OR N/O) H2/17 BROWN (+) BRAKE SHUTDOWN INPUT
Needs to Be Wired: H2/18 BLACK/ WHITE (-) NEUTRAL SAFETY INPUT

BLACK/ White is optional, the canmax might actually do it for you.
White is for your parking lights, so when you remote start the car the lights come on, or they flash when you lock/unlock. I would hook it up to the negative parking light white (blue) which is at the light switch. Make sure the jumper under the cover on the 5901 is set to the negative jumper.
Violet/White is done by the canmax.
Grey is done by the canmax.
Brown is done by the canmax.
h2/18 BLACK/ White goes to ground.

so a quick update -
I did the install today, and am having problems with the remote start - the car will r/s but the starter keeps going, then dies after 10 sec... does this 3 times then fails.
I tried resetting the virtual tach (open door, turn key to on, within 5 sec press control, press & hold control, then press control 4x, then press & hold control again and shut off) with the same results
With the bitwriter, its set to virtual tach - i don't think it ever learned successfully cause i never saw the parking lights stay on or the led a solid blue (it always dies after 10 sec)
any ideas?

so another update -
with the key in the on position, the r/s keeps cranking but after like 5 seconds stops, and the car is started, but since the key is in the ignition, the r/s just shuts off, and never learns
if i try without the key in the ignition, the same thing happens above (tries 3x for 10 sec then dies)
i'm lost on this one

You can use the Voltage Sensing setting, set for .08 crank time, Voltage Check set for Low.
Are you sure you have the correct wire (purple) connected to the starter wire?
I'm not really to clear on what your problem can be. I'm not a fan of the CANMAX stuff OR wiring D2D with DEI stuff. I wire that W2W, and never have had a problem

Tried the .8 crank time, and the voltage check i couldn't find - i saw a smart start voltage, but i wasn't in that mode (f 3 times then remote start), i was just trying a normal remote start.
I probed the wiring during key positions/ start and found (h3 harness); Pins 2/6/9 Always had +12V
During Off : 1,3,4,5,7 = 0V During I : 7 = 12V; 3,4,5 = 0V During II : 3,4,7 = 12V, 5 = 0V When R/S : 3,4,7 = 12V, 5 = 0V
When Starting via Key, pin 5 had 12V.
just to update
H1/ 1 -> *not used H1/ 2 -> (+) 12V, White, IGN H1/ 3 -> TO DEI SIRENS (5901 + 513T) H1/ 4 -> *not used H1/ 5 -> Chassis Ground H1/ 6 -> *not used H1/ 7 -> TO DEI TILT (507M)/DEI BACKUP BATTERY (520T) H1/ 8 -> *not used H1/ 9 -> *not used H1/10 -> *not used H1/11 -> Parking Light Switch (-) H1/12 -> TO DEI BACKUP BATTERY (520T)

I dont wanna sound silly, but can you post the wire COLORS, not numbers. I forgot all the numbers about 20 years ago.
The color wires from the module connected to the color wires in the car.
And... the readings you get on your meter from the ignition switch wires should be the exact same, as when you start with the key, as you do when you remote start. Power must be present, appear and disappear at the same times as using the key.

thanks for all your guys' help
i didn't realize that with the canmax400dei, you need to set the tach option w/ the bit writer to "tach" instead of virtual tach. did that and everything works like a charm!

the saga continues: r/s has 2 different situations :
1) unlock -> r/s : starts up fine, locks the doors, pager thinks unit is unlocked 2) locked -> r/s : alarm triggers before r/s happens, pager says "trunk open"
All the things that are wired to blue H1/7 (Trunk Pin/Instant Trigger Input) are : Backup Battery & Tilt Sensor
I disconnected the tilt sensor, and same thing happened as above.
If I leave the trunk open (not the tailgate), the R/S works in both situations above (both if r/s when locked or unlocked).
This lead me to believe that the trunk there was a mismatch w/ the voltage being normally open or normally closed.
I changed the bit writer setting to be Normally Closed (default is normally open), and it works fine in both situations again, however the pager now notifies me that upon arming the system, the trunk is open.
Any ideas? i searched, and this was the closest thing i found (its exactly the problem i'm having) but they never said what they did to fix it https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~113653

You should'nt have said everything works like a charm. You jinxed yourself.
