Viper 160XV in 2005 Camry, Having Trouble

the problems are as follows:

1.  Status LED does not light up

2.  Upon activation of remote start (RS), RS attempts to start 3 times: parking light flash, acessory on, ignition on, no crank.

3.  Purple and Green wires have constant 12V, is this normal?

4.  Does the WHITE/ Blue (activation input) need to be connected anywhere?

thanks in advance!

1. Does it light after you lock the doors?  Is it plugged into the white port on the brain?  Could just be a bad led.

2.  Is tach hooked up and learned?  did you use a bypass module?  Did you power the second starter wire?

3.  No.  The orange wire in the 12 pin main harness is that hooked up to anything?  If it is disconnect it.  A lot of people make the mistake of grounding that wire.

4.  Nope.

Would help if you list what wires of the r/s you hooked up to what wires in the car.

1.  i am using the existing keyless entry, and only using the remote start feature of the 160XV.  Yes, the LED is plugged into the white port of the brain... and i tried both that came with the kit.

2.  I believe the tach is hooked up to the right wire, but since the status LED does not light up, I cannot tell if its learned.  I do not think my car has an immobilizer:  valet key is bare metal and is able to start the car.  I used the purple 200 mA starter output from the relay satellite to a second relay to power the second starter wire (EDIT:  i just realized that this output is negatively switched, that may be why the car is not starting.  i'll have to switch that around later on). 

3.  Orange wire is not connected to anything... i have removed it entirely from the 12 pin harness.

Relay Satellite Wires:

Purple -> BLACK/ White, Starter Side

Green -> BLACK/ White, Key Side

Red -> 12V directly from battery (fused)

Orange -> Blue/Red, Accessory

Pink/White -> BLACK / YELLOW, 2nd Ignition

Pink -> BLACK/ Red, Ignition

RED / White -> Connected to Red and Pink/White on the kit harness the way it came ... (potential problem?)

Purple (Aux Harness) -> Relay -> 2nd Starter

Brain Wires:

RS Harness:

BLACK/ White -> Chassis Ground

Violet/White -> BLACK/ Orange (from ECM behind glovebox)

Brown -> GREEN / WHITE at switch

Grey -> Hoodpin

12 Pin Harness:

White -> GREEN/ Silver Dots, Parking Lights +

Black -> Chassis Ground

Red -> 12V direct from battery (fused)

*All others from 12 Pin Harness Removed

Thanks for the help and quick response!

Also for Brain Wires:

White 2 Pin Port -> Status LED

Blue 2 Pin Port -> Valet/Program Switch

Relay wiring:

5 pin bosch relay:

Pin 30 -> 12V direct from battery

Pin 87-> BLACK / YELLOW, 2nd ignition

Pin 86 -> Purple from Aux Harness

Pin 85 -> Chassis Gournd (this should be 12V because the purple wire is negatively switched?)

I have rewired the relay as follows:

Pin 30 -> 12V

Pin 87 -> BLACK / YELLOW, 2nd Starter

Pin 86 -> Purple from Aux Harness (Starter Relay Trigger)

Pin 86 -> 12V

Activating remote start now starts the car, but it dies immediatley.  I also tried the pit-stop test, but it just grinds the starter...

another thing i have tried, at least in terms of the status LED: 

1.  switching the leads around, nothing.

2.  plugging into valet switch port, constant on.

both leds with the kit are confirmed to work (tested with a battery)... why doesn't it work in its designated port, but somewhat works in the valet switch port?  could the brain be defective?

just an update, remote start now works.  i recieved my bitwriter and was able to program it for voltage sense... since tachometer was not working.

i have a few questions regarding the door locks and trunk release now, however:

viper 160XV has two wires, green and blue (-)lock (+)unlock and (+) lock(-)unlock respectively.  do i just connect green to blue / YELLOW (power lock) and blue to blue (power unlock)?  do i have to connect anything to the lock motors?

as for the trunk release, which wire do i connect to?  green (trunk/hatch pin) or WHITE/ blue (trunk/hatch release)?  seems like an obvious question, but according to the wiring information the green has negative polarity and the WHITE/ blue has "5wi".

and finally, the camry "chirps" when locking or unlocking with the factory remote.  i want to retain this feature with the viper keyless entry... but i don't which wire to connect/tap into.  i don't believe it is the horn... since the horn is much louder... and i know where that wire is.

thanks for all the help!

For locks it's a simple negative pulse but you can easily retain the two stage unlock like your factory remote has. For lock, connect green to blue / YELLOW like you state. For unlock, connect blue to blue, but also connect it to blue on plug H1 on the Viper. This will unlock drivers door first and other doors on second press.

For trunk release, you need a relay. The WHITE/ blue is located in a blue plug in the center of the driver kickpanel, but it rests at ground. You'll need to cut htis wire and run it 5 wire thru that relay to work.

As for the factory chirp, look for a small piezo under the hood. It should unplug and you could connect it thru a relay to chirp when armed...
