DIY: Viper 5701 Install on CT9A
 

I thought this might be useful to some people interested in installing vipers new 5701 alarm.

What I like about this alarm system
2 remotes - Super slim design (One 5-Button 2-way, One 5-Button 1-way)
Antenna with Integrated LED and Switch
SilentMode2 Sirenless Modes
Virtual Tach
Defroster Output w/ Dedicated Channel
Smart Start (start car based on temp/timer/voltage)
Auto Temp Display on Remote
Cabin Temperature Request
Onboard Shock Sensor (shock sensor is inside main unit Stinger DoubleGuard )
4 Aux Outputs
2,000 feet FCC legal 2-way range

The best thing about this is the protection it provides for remote starting the vehicle. It has a very good check system to make sure the car is in neutral before going into the remote start mode. The only way to have it remote start is if someone sneaks into your vehicle without triggering the alarm and physically leaves it in gear. Or if you leave someone in the vehicle while arming and they put it in gear.

Additional Items needed for purchase
-SPDT Relay with socket harness

Okay now onto the wiring...
- Unlike previous viper models the heavy guage ignition harness is a little bit trickier due to the flex relay added into this unit, but just follow my ignition wiring below and you should be okay.
- If you open the compartment inside the brain unit you see that there is a spot for a 10amp mini bus fuse. This has to be hooked up for a positive polarity pg.55 of install manual

The ignition wires consist of these wires

When splicing wires, In my opinion this is the best way to do it.

Then split the wire threading through the loop and wrap it around the corresponding side fo the split wire, solder then high quality electrical tape.
....will update later with remaining instructions

This actually exists/functions in an evo?

Its actually linked to the hand brake.. Its part of the signal input that needs to be recieved in order for the remote start sequence to start. Place foot on brake, apply hand brake, release foot from brake, press rs button, open door, close door, then arm the vehicle. This is a way the system knows your vehicle is in neutral and enables the rs when the button is pressed. Any type of full trigger will disable the rs activity. As well as disarming then opening the door.. Pretty failsafe..

Yeah, I was hoping to get around all that and just use an NSS. I leave the car in neutral anyways, I was just wanting a backup incase it wasn't in neutral for whatever reason.

What does it sound like, does it sound like the alarm system on a super car?

^^ just the standard tone on all DEI alarms.. I bought it more for the remote start safety feature..

johnjonfenomeno,

On a scale of 1-10, how would to rate ease of install of the 5701?

If you follow the above mentioned wire by wire guide .. its a walk in the park .. Ive done the figuring out for you.. Shops charge 700 installed for this. Go on ebay and get one for 250 shipped. Then follow the above

Sounds good! Thanks 4 your time and info!

Might I add, One thing I did not have to do was get an immobilizer bypass (DEI 556U) since i used a standalone ecu. If you are still on the stock ECU you will need this along with a spare key.

This alarm is the best investment I've made to my Evo. Good choice!

If you're on the stock ecu, you can get a pku-mit and you don't need to sacrifice a second key. You do need to have both keys to program it though, at least that's what the instructions say. It runs about $40 from what I've seen.

...

Yes DEI changed their programming with it.. The alarm can be set in manual or auto mode.. If in manual mode the alarm will use this as a part of the input in its neutral safety check sequence..{thumbup}

Question about the install: How were you taping into the factory wires? Solder or plastic taps? lastly, where did hide the alarm brain?
