I am working on installing a Viper alarm, and have WAY too many unused cables that I don't need. I don't dare cut them off, so I would like to de-pin them, but was wondering what the best way to go about it was?

 

esh i wouldn't necessarily do that either... what the installer here does is before anything twisting the wires in different bundles (with his drill). so u end up with a few wire ropes instead of a jumble of bullshit. Then tapes them up and goes from there. so all the wires he needs going to one spot are there together and the other spot together ect. then the extras in their own bundle can be crip caped or whatever so they dont do anything and ziptied next to the brain... that way they are still there but not in the way

 

Got it installed and mostly working, everything on the viper appears to be working correctly, though I can't get my FL-CAN to program so that I can lock/unl0ock the doors and start it.

 

just cut the other wires short... then braidloom them if you want or just ziptie them up

 

I just ended up leaving them balled up and tucking them away, it looks pretty professional, and box is hidden well not in a stupid place. Just need to get the bypasser working right now.
