Viper 560XV w/ 555I, 2002 Civic

If i remember right, Channel 2 will not operate until you disarm first. Either that or it will disarm on channel 2 so, no it won't set of the alarm.

Can anyone conferm this, or am i just dumb and don't know what i am talking about?

If so...please disregard.

Thanks guys, but I feel like I'm playing the 12volt.com version of  the "To Tell the Truth"!

auex: Which output is channel 3?  Also, what's a sensor shunt and how do you use it?

In Viper 560XV installation guide I noticed feature number 2-9, "factory disarm with channel two on".  Josh is right! It's to set (-) factory alarm disarm output (H2/1) when channel two output is set (-).  Looks like I'll have to throw in another relay.  Two relays just to pop open a trunk!  One relay for the actuator, and the second one to open the trunk sense line (H1/6) to prevent it from being set (-) when trunk is opened.  Can anyone think of a bettery way?

I've been slowly getting my questions answered thru this OUTSTANDING board.  Thank you 12volt.com!

In Viper 560XV installation guide, on page 24, it states to connect the 560XV's orange accessory wire to accessory wire in the vehicle which power the climate control.  But on 2002 Civic, heater blower is not connected to ACC but to IG2.  And anyone know how 560XV's 2nd ignition/accessory is outputted?  I know I can choose either ignition or accessory, but does the 2nd output exactly mirror its respective primary side?  Or could it be programmed so it outputs 12V only on RUN (ON), to match Civic's IG2.  How do I correctly wire IG2?  Help me please.

auex,

ACCESSORY (blk/red)  = IG2

SECOND ACCESSORY (wht/red) = ACC

The IG1 and ACC lables are used in the Honda manual.  I guess I will have to program 560XV's 2nd ignition/accessory output (pink/wht) for accessory and connect that to Honda's ACC (wht/red).  And connect the IG2 (blk/red) to 560XV's accessory output (orange).

Thanks for the feedback.

Can anyone suggest how best 2002 Civic's rear window defogger can be turned on using pin H3/1, 200mA defogger (or 2nd status) output, from Viper 560XV?   Any experience?

cpgoose,

Assuming you're also refering to Civic and the two terminals you mention are BLU and BRN/WHT (12V) wires, did you have a resistor and diode between the switching contacts?  Looking into Honda manual, the BRN/WHT wire is the 12V source that is fed in to the Push Switch Assembly with a diode in line.  When the rear defogger switch is pressed, the 12V is fed through a resistor then to the BLU wire.  So I wonder if you used the two components to duplicate the circuit, or did you put in the relay to switch BRN/WHT straight to BLU?

Thanks,
