Ok guys new to the car alarm industry been doing plenty of audio as well as home theatre and burg/fire alarms residential and commercial so wanting to move into the vehicle alarm area I have a viper 5605v and a 2005 super duty have all wiring diagrams from dei so if anyone could lend a hand and advice all would be very appreciated thanks

Hi Dewayne,
Not the most basic or standard vehicle to start on but not real difficult either.
It has many ignition wires, so additional relays are required.
It might have a door lock system ( Type C, 5-wire reverse ) that will require additional relays or hardware. Trucks with
Factory Remote Keyless Entry have Type B door locks. Here is a good primer on door lock systems from Directed :
https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/file.asp?ID=1213 This site has great info on Door Locks, Relays, Diodes, etc at
the menu bar near the top of the screen. The SEARCH function is very useful, too.
On trucks with Factory Remote Keyless Entry, the VSM module shuts down and needs to be awakened to allow the
after-market system to unlock the doors. Here is a link to a ZIP file that includes the necessary Tech Tip 1094 :

For the remote start and door lock portion of your install, here is a link to a Pictorial on that model truck :

The alarm portion is not covered but you can use the Dome Light Supervision wire. Here is a link to wire info :

A bit of a learning curve for a newcomer but with some research and reading, not difficult for someone with your
background. It might be advisable to post your proposed wiring so that forum members can review it and add
their comments and insights.

Soldering is fun!
Thanks for the info definitely doing some reading before I jump in and try to tackle this
Ok now I'm having an issue I have the alarm in door locks working all that was no problem but I can't for the life of me seem to get the doors to trigger an alarm when open any help would be appreciated
And I think I'm gonna try to use dome light supervision and I have that wire but which wire from the viper connects to it
Don't have any info on your Viper 5605V but if it follows standard DEI conventions, the trucks (+) Dome Light Supervision wire
should be connected to a VIOLET wire labeled as (+) DOOR INPUT.

That is exactly what I did and I could still open the door without the alarm triggering
Strange. Does the Viper alarm set OK?
Anything connected to this Viper wire? GREEN (-) DOOR INPUT
Guess your should connect a DMM to this wire and verify that it is indeed the Dome Light Supervision wire.
Dome Light BLACK/ Lt. BLUE (+) @ DRIVER'S DOOR SILL

With it connected it will arm with extra beep shows door open on the lcd remote then arms but when I open the door it never triggers
Assume I get the extra beep until the dome light goes off which I understand just not sure about it not triggering
