Hi i successfully wired a Viper 5701 alarm and remote start to my Manual vehicle and as for as alarm and the remote start all is well. However when testing for the accessory wire i'm sure i found the correct wire after testing three times before connecting it up, however during the remote start sequence when try to turn on my heaters (on a manual switch) then don't work also the stereo goes off. But if you come out of the remote start (key takeover) the heaters come back on and so does the stereo. Not a major issue but would be nice to set the heaters so that on a really cold morning not only is the engine warming up but so is the inside of the car.

What could be the problem?

Many Thanks

Did you connect all three H3 fused power wires to +12V constant? ( Red, RED / White and RED / Black )

Soldering is fun!

Citroen Saxo, its a European vehicle and i did test for an accessory and i believe i wired it up. But i thought the remote start would work if this wasn't wired anyway?

Would have to look again on Tuesday but i know for sure RED / white is not connected as i don't have a second ignition.
