hello everyone, this is my first post here. i am very familiar with installing stereo systems in cars but have never done an alarm. i obtained the viper 500esp from a company who was going out of business. is this something i should try to install myself or should i pay to have it installed. there is also a 2 stage motion sensor included with the unit. any advice will be greatly appreciated.

good luck and good listening!

Imral, Welcome to where the big boys play. The Viper 500 is quite an easy alarm to install. Over here in Australia i am installing about 5 a week and yes it does have a 2 stage impact sensor.What sort of vehicle are you installing it into so as we might be able to help you with a diagram.... Regards.. Tony

Installing an alarm is really no different than installing a stereo. You test for each wire for certain characteristics and then attach each of the alarm wires to the corresponding wires that you have matched using your DMM. Most alarm or remote starter's have detailed instructions on how to install each of their own products, all you need is a vehicle wiring diagram and some common sense ( or experience will do just fine  ) As Tony said, WELCOME TO WHERE THE BIG BOYS PLAY.... it's fun and gratifying when you install something that ends up working !! ------------- Jeff

Hey Imral3, I saw you mentionned a 508D prox sensor . . . just one thing, don't wire this in parallel with the impact sensor or you can damage one or the other or both. Instead twist the Blue and Green wires together of your 508D (no need for diodes) and attach them to the Blue multiplexed input on the main harness.  ------------- Prepare your future. It wasn't the lack of stones that killed the stone age.

Or imral, why not just plug your 508D into the multiplex port. It should have a plug on the end to do this. Good Luck

I am doing the same thing. Right now I have the Proxy sensor working fine, and the shock sensor working fine, but I have not wired them up together. I take it I need to do this: Plug the Shock Sensor harness into the Alarm Splice the Red wire from this lead to the Red wire of the Proxy sensor. Splice the Black wire of this lead to the black wire of the Proxy sensor. (This gives it power) Splice the blue and green wires of the proxy sensor together with the Blue wire on the shock sensor harness. Correct?

If you haven't installed it already, i have a few leftover main ignition inline harnesses for your Escort. Pre-Wired with the older style DEI plug, but easily chopped and the new plug attached. pre-wired starter kill, 12v, ign. $24 shipped priority.

Hey JeremyLaurenson,
Connect Black wire and Red wire as you said but connect the Blue and Green together from your proxy sensor to the loose Green wire of the shock harness at the brain side as described on page 20 of the install guide.
