I have a Viper 5701 in my 2000 Civic DX.
When I first installed it, I couldn't get the manual transmission mode to work so I figured I was doing something wrong. I just put it in auto mode and used the remote start like that. Well this weekend I started it in gear and it ran over a curb. Luckily I wasn't sure if it was in gear or not so I was looking out the window and stopped it as soon as I saw it move.
So now I'm trying to get manual transmission mode to work.
Here's the steps I'm doing:
Make sure the doors on the vehicle are closed.
Put the transmission in neutral.
Press on the brake in the vehicle.
Apply the emergency brake.
Release the brake.
Within 15 seconds activate the remote start from the remote.
The parking lights will flash confirming that the remote start is active.
Turn off the ignition (the car should stay running when key is turned off).
Exit the vehicle.
Arm the alarm (the vehicle should shut off when arming the system)
The problem is, when I click the remote start button on the remote, it just does the error buzz. I have everything wired up and I've tried it in Tach mode and in Virtual tach mode. My door triggers are fine too. So is the brake shutdown wire(tested, it works) and parking brake(won't start unless it's up).
And here's the weird part: When it's in Automatic mode, the Manual shutdown sequence works. When I press the remote start button, the alarm takes over and I get out of the running car with my keys. Locking doesn't shut it down so I have to lock and then shut down. But the problem is, the car will still start even if I don't do that.
So how do I get manual transmission mode to activate?

Just figured it out. I had to do Tach Learning. I guess it didn't matter for auto mode but it needs to be done for manual mode.
