Hey guys,

Looking for some assistance here. I have this unit wired up and am getting the following symptoms:

- Upon long button press, I'm getting multiple beeps and a green light on my remote
- I hear a click in the main unit and see a temporary spike in voltage on my accessory wire
- I get no ignition/crank, followed by 4 double-beeps on the remote

Using a voltmeter, I've narrowed my car-side wiring to the following:

Red - 12v constant
Violet - see's 12v when key in accessory position
Green - see's 12v when key in ignition position
Green/Grey - also see's 12v when key in ignition position - apparently this is the rear defogger
Black - Starter

Viper wiring states the following:

Red - 12v constant
Pink - Output to ignition
Purple - Output to starter
Orange - Output to accessory
Red - 12v constant
Pink/White - Programmable output for accessory or ignition

My wiring:

- Red from car tied into BOTH Red's on Viper
- Violet from car tied into Orange on Viper
- Green from car tied into Pink on Viper
- Black from car tied into Purple on Viper
- Green/Violet from car not used
- Pink/White from viper not used

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you programmed tach signal?

I believe I did the tach learning correctly, but will attempt it again tonight and see if that works.

I know my car has an ignition advance relay under the hood. When I use the key, I hear this relay click. When using the remote start it doesn't.

I'm wondering if this has something to do with my problem?
