Viper 5901 and ADS-ALDL-HA

1. Do I need a relay for trunk release and FAD if I am using a idatalink module?
2. Can I connect the hood output from ads to viper hood switch input and not use the hood pin that came with the viper?
3. Can i install the R/S without starter kill? and how?

What Make / Model / Year vehicle are we talking about?   You are using an ADS AL CA module with the ADS AL(DL) HA  V3.8 firmware?

The iDatalink module does not give a Hood Status output on all cars, but if your car is listed in the install guide as outputting a Hood Status (-), you can connect it directly to the Viper.

Soldering is fun!

No you dont need relays for those if you are connecting directly to the wires in the vehicle.  If connecting the Vipers doorlock outputs to the ADS module, you'll want to put diodes inline with the lock and unlock wires.

If your Honda HAS a factory hood pin, you can use the ADS hood switch output, if the car doesnt have a factory pin, you'll have to add your own.

You dont have to use the starter kill.  Just remove the green wire from the connector and use the Purple to the starter wire.

thanks im almost done with my install. when install a diode does it go towards the viper brain or the ads module?

scratch the factory alarm nonsense! as i expected the door locks don't work. i used a diode inline with the strip towards the ads module. i have a feeling that might be the reason why...

Remember, Ground (negative) flows FROM the banded end .. TO the un-banded end.

and BTW, positive is the reverse, unbanded to banded
