Questions & Answers
The part number for the entire remote start system, as well as two remotes, is 5806v. One is a two-way street, while the other is a single-way street.
You'll require a bypass.
Because they are wired to the vehicle's electrical system under the steering wheel, remote start systems work with any vehicle, even those from before 2000. My truck didn't have the remote start feature either, but it worked after I installed the viper remote start system; however, I did need a bypass module, which was only $30; I'm not sure if yours does, as most don't.
When the alarm goes off, the remote flashes and beeps. Although there will be no vibration, the remote will be heard.

I'm so glad I didn't buy this alarm. With a range of 1 mile, it's a little out of the way. I don't believe so; instead, try 200 feet. , maybe. The 2- Overnight, a new set of 2016 batteries is consumed by the way remote. Only a hazy description of each connection is provided in the installation instructions. Even the 'advanced' user guide available online is useless for the DIY installer, but this appears to be on purpose because Directed Electronics only wants 'authorized dealers' to install these alarm systems. If you call customer service, they will not give you any information because authorized dealers/installers are the only ones who have access to it. Warranty? If you bought the alarm on Amazon instead of from a licensed retailer, you're out of luck. Do not be bitten by a viper!.
This was a bad decision on my part. I spent $500 on the kit, which included installation. My neighborhood car audio/alarm shop did a fantastic job with the installation - The issue is with the product as a whole. br>I'm not sure where to start. br>After only a few months of use, the first fob stopped working. I then switched to the backup fob, which worked fine for a few months before suddenly ceasing to trigger lock/unlock/remote start as quickly as you'd expect. Not to mention the fact that the fob batteries will be depleted every three months. br>At this point, the unlock button is completely broken and refuses to unlock at all. I have to manually unlock the door, which activates the alarm (quietly, as the audible speaker no longer activates the alarm). Then, when I get into my truck, it holds me captive until I press the correct number of buttons on the receiver that sticks to the windshield. I'm still not sure how many button presses it takes; all I know is that I have to keep pressing the button and shifting the key from ACC to ON until the truck starts. It was nice to have remote start and a sensitive alarm while it lasted, but it was a waste. With my head down and a hole in my pocket, I'm on my way back to the OEM Toyota fob. Save your money, please.
System that is extremely complex. Although the selling dealer provided prompt shipping and a good price, the documentation for installing the remote start portion of the system did not meet my expectations. The documentation for the low amp module inputs and outputs is extremely clear, but the remote start connections are purposefully vague and largely useless. To install the viper system, I had to rely on commando alarm systems for more detailed information. IF YOU'RE INSTALLING THE REMOTE START PORTION ON THE 5806V, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. WIRES RED/WHITE, PINK/WHITE, AND SOLID RED, 3 WIRES ON THE 10 PIN WIRE, HEAVY GAUGE, REQUIRE AT ALL TIMES BATTERY VOLTAGE FROM THAT POINT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DECIPHER AND INSTALL YOUR SYSTEM FOR REMOTE START. OTHERWISE, YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE THE SYSTEM TO AN INSTALLER, EVEN IF YOU ARE A NEW ELECTRICAL TECH. In addition, depending on what you're driving, you may need relays to flip the ground to positive for module outputs. If you want to get the most out of the system, be ready to work on a project. The amount of information available on the internet to help with installation issues is extremely limited.
It's been a few years and it's still working. The only thing I don't like about it is having to replace the LED 2-'s batteries. every 8-hours, as if on cue 9 months. Even with brand new batteries, the range is as advertised, as long as there is no obstruction in the line of sight. The range decreases as the battery life decreases. I've heard that the LCD remote has poor battery life, so I can only imagine how much worse it is when compared to the 8-channel remote. Battery life is 9 months.
It's a pain to set up. It was difficult to install because schematics to control everything are difficult to come by online. Because of this, I actually opened the box and waited a few months to install it. The instructions in the box are only useful if you know exactly what you're doing and which wires you need to target, as well as whether those wires are or not. I discovered there's an absurd amount of wired I didn't actually need, despite the fact that it's made to be universal. Out of the 24 pin harness, I only used 6 of them. br>However, it is a nice unit. I tried starting my truck from over a half-mile away (in sight) and was impressed to see it light up and start. I know it says dealer installed, but if you've done your homework on your vehicle's wiring harness and have a basic understanding of wiring, you'll be fine.
It's fantastic that you can start your computer from a distance. The pit stop mode, on the other hand, is absolutely fantastic! You can leave your car running while it is locked if you need to quickly get something from the house or the store. On a MT vehicle, there is a smart sequence that must be followed before remote start can be activated, so don't worry about pressing a button while your parked car is in gear and watching it roll away. If the car is locked, you won't be able to use remote start while it's in gear.
