Ok, i have been pondering about a remote start and aftermarket security system for a while. I have picked this one. https://www.amazon.com/Viper-5900SST-Alarm-Remote-Start/dp/B000IHX80O/sr=8-1/qid=1168038006/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-0042826-7242035?ie=UTF8&s=electronics] I know that i will need to get a bypass module for this to work. How would this one be? https://www.amazon.com/Gm-Passlock-Bypass-Learn-Routine/dp/tech-data/B000804AAS/ref=de_a_smtd/105-0042826-7242035] This one has a learn routine which says that there will be not messing with the resistance form the tumbler in the ignition. [color=red]or[/color] should i go with a bypass module with out the learn feature ? I am thinking the one with learn is the way to go. Can somebody please confirm this for me? I have the wiring diagrams for the truck also. How long could the install take? I have pretty decent electrical skills and good mechancial skills. Thank you for any answers.

Also is there anything else i could buy to make the install go smoother or easier? I was thinking something like a t-harness but i haven't found one yet...

1. That is a very good unit, but DEI does not warranty a do it yourself installation. Make sure the seller will warranty it.
2. It has been my experience that the bypass you chose is pretty much bullet proof. I have switched recently to the GMBP though, as it does not require cutting any wires in the vehicle. You can find the installation manual here
3. As far as time required, I would recommend setting a day off aside to attempt the job if this is your first starter install. Take your time, verify all wires prior to connecting anything and make solid electrical connections. I recommend soldering all connections.

I was also wondering if there was a way to hook up my tailgate to the alarm. I currently do not have an electric tailgate lock, but i was wanting the truck to notify me if someone was opening the tailgate when the system was armed. (since i have a 2005 yz250f that spends alot of time in the back) I was thinking about getting a door pin switch and putting that on the tailgate. Then, i could hook that up to the "trunk" sensor input. Would this work? What would i need for something like this to work? I have heard of it being done on a couple of Avalance's but it was not in great detail. Thanks alot! 97chevy

Also, is there a good way to protect theives from opening my sliding rear window? The window has a latch, but it can be opened easily if you know what to do. Any suggestions?

I just ordered my viper 5900ss and the bypass (gm 555lw. Just still wondering on the last two options on the tailgate and the sliding rear window trigger. Can it be done? Thanks for any replies.

I have pinned tailgates in the past, it can be done by doing exactly as you suggest and just use a pin switch hooked up to the trunk pin input. As for the rear window, I have done a mercury switch in the past but I dont think its really nessasary, if someone gets in the back of the truck, its possible they may have opened the tailgate to do it but even if they dont than its probally gonna set the shock sensor off anyways. If you are really worried my suggestion is mounting a second shock sensor under the box of the truck in a protective box as I think it will be more helpful in the end.

Ok i broke down and had the system professionally installed. It works great, but the shock sensor seems a little on the not sensitive enough side. ( i can jump in the box with out it going off) How do i adjust it? I know the sensor works because i have set it off, but i would like to make it a little more sensitive. Is there a way to do this? Also i can never make the sensor send out a warn. Only a full alarm. I was thinking a little adjustment could fix this. I could just bring it back to the installer's shop, but i figure i could give 'er a try first. Thanks alot!

Thanks alot mobilecustoms. Does anyone know the range of adjustment? Is it one turn from sensitive to not sensitive or more than that? Also can you individually adjust the warn sensitivity form the full alarm sensitivity? Which one is which? There are two adjustment screws on the sensor. Thanks alot.

there should be only one yellow plastic screw adjustment. It automatically sets for warn and full trigger. You need to turn the screw to the right a little and test out the sensitivity of the sensor. Did you get a radar sensor also or just a shock sensor?

I only have a shock sensor right now. A radar is soon to come and maybe a tilt once i get some more dough... Thanks for all the help.

I adjusted the shock sensor and it is somewhat better now, but I still can not get warn away respones from it. I looked at the wires coming out of the sensor and there was a red, a black, and a blue. There was no green. Is this why i have no warn? Or could there be something in the programming that is making it not warn. Thanks
