If someone could clarify this for me it would be greatly appreciated. I am installing a 791xv in an 06 Super Duty. All information I can find states to use the dome supervision wire (blk/lt blue) as the door trigger. I have the wire located, but since the dome light is delayed and stays on for a bit after the vehicle is exited will this work? Maybe I am not understanding this. If the vehicle is locked using the factory remote it goes out instantly.

Thanks for any input.

Dustin

Yes, the domelight wire will work fine.

The Viper systems will make a second chirp after arming, to remind you that you forgot to close the car door.........the domelight delay will cause you to get this extra chirp..........but you can go into the programming menu and just turn it off.

one thing you want to check on doing the dome light supervision as a door trigger is once you test the wire and see what state it rests and trigger at make sure that if and when the BCM shut off (most new fords do this after 25 to 30 minutes) that the voltage doesn't drop off completely to nothingness because the aftermarket alarm will see this voltage drop off as a trigger and will automatically set the alarm off. i had this happen on a 2006 lincoln zephyr earlier this week. 30 minutes on the dot and the 771xvr would go crazy. btw, that is the worst troubleshooting is to try something and have to sit for 30 minutes or more to see if that fixes it. good luck and hope this helps.
