I have a quick question for those of you who have already installed a Viper alarm, or similar alarm on the 06' SS/SC cobalt. I just need to know if I need any Viper module in order to lock/unlock the car from the viper remote as well as using the OEM trunk release from this remote. I will be installing 5900 SST alarm. This is the module I am referring to on Viper's website.

if you got electric door locks, yes the remote will open and lock your doors and yes you can have the trunk open with the remote

 

Ok, so I don't need to purchase anything other than the alarm system. That seperate module is not necessary?

 

you may need a relay to pop the trunk .....are you doing the install yourself? pm me if you are and i will send you the info you will need to do the whole install!

 

Yes, PM'd

 

i got a clifford installed in my cobie and the kit came with everything for the doors to unlock and trunk

 

Know the Clifford model off-hand?

 

Alright, I called a Viper rep and he informed me that the keyless entry portion of the alarm will work right out of the box, but the trunk release and remote start features require additional components.

Now all I need it the wiring diagram with color codes for our vehicle. Any help is appreciated.

 

i know its the 770 clifford and i added the tilt sensor and the proximity sensor and the keycode kill switch.

 

i sent the info, also your gonna need either a xk06 module for remote start or DLPK , i like the xk06 better should do most features through data!

 

Hey ctcsoccer7, PM sent if you could help me (or anyone)... I'm going to be doing a Viper install on my car soon w/remote start.

I got the Viper 5701V Responder LE 2-way Security and Remote Start System and the XK06 bypass.

05 base w/manual

 

Noobish question here... but do the remote starters just trick the car into thinking the clutch is pushed in or is there a servo or something that actually actuates the clutch pedal for starting the car?

 

The clutch basically just has a switch hooked up to it so the car knows when the clutch is pushed in; so, a remote start unit just closes the switch so the car can be started without the clutch pushed in.

 

Anyone have more detailed info on how to do the install?

go here^

remove interior trim and curl up under the dash for a couple hours

i didnt hook anything to the clutch wires and it starts fine

 

Do you guys have any questions about the install? I've recently upgraded Viper alarms so everything is fresh in my mind. It's almost second nature now.

I'd be shocked if your car fires right up without making any changes to the clutch wire harness. Logically, the car can't start without the clutch wires completing the circuit. How did you do it?

 

well it surprised me to. it is a rs for an auto trans that i hooked up to my manual car.
maybe a defective clutch switch?

 

very odd. Even when I blew the fuse for the clutch harness, the RS wouldn't start.

 

Thanks for the link. Thinking about hooking up a Viper Alarm myself..
