sorry about first post. i cant edit it. here it is again not copied from word.
This is my first time posting on here but I have found this site very useful and was hopping I might be able to find a solution to my problems. I have an 06 Honda Civic Coupe LX with a Viper 5301 remote start /wo security. It was installed 2 months ago and I have two things that have been bothering me.
1. When the installer connected the parking lights he did so on the output side of the relay built into the cars fuse box. The parking lights work fine but the whole center console goes vary dim (below what you can set it at).When the vehicle is remote started the center console will flash with the parking lights from vary dim to bright and back. While the speedo and tach gauges are unaffected by the parking lights as I would expect. I haven’t been able to go out and check what wire exactly he used yet but I have the tech sheet and service manual. My only guess as to how it’s happening is somehow the MICU is doing it. Does anybody know how the center console is detecting that the parking lights are coming on and is there a way to fix it.
2. When the cars factory alarm is set off for whatever reason you cannot disable the alarm with the viper remote. You either need the OEM transmitter or put the key in the ignition. Is this normal?

You have to connect the Factory alarm disarm wire, not to sure about your parking light situation off hand.

It is best to use the cars (-) Parking Light wire, it is a Gray wire found at the light switch in the steering column. Make sure you change the Viper Parking Light output from (+) to (-) when you move the wire.

If i do that will that cause the gauges to dim like the do when i turn the parking lights on with the switch? I would like to avoid having the dimmer kick in every time the parking lights flash.

Connected at the light switch, the remote starter turns on the parking lights as if you actually did it with the switch. So yes, the back lit gauges will go from normal daylight mode to parking light night mode and the intensity curently set by the dimmer switch. Usually there is no one in the car when you remote start it, so it goes un-noticed. . .

I went out today and looked at where the parking lights are hooked up. They appear to be connected to one of the 3 red wires coming out of Fuse #15. If i measure the voltage on the wire when i turn the parking lights on with the switch there is .5v on the wire. When the remote start kicks in its got the full 12v accros it. Is that right?

Doesn't sound correct. Think I would go the safe route and use the (-) Parking Light Gray wire at the light switch. See Parking Light warning in this post : https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~96389~PN~0~TPN~2------------- Soldering is fun!

Is it possible to skip the parking trigger all together and use to aux channels to acomplish the same kind of thing. Have one of the AUX channels Hooked up to the Gray wire in the steering colum and have it linked to remote start and the second Aux hooked to the Hazard flashers and linked to lock and unlock?
