Viper 5902 Remote Button Lock Setting

I've ran into a couple posts online about accidentally locking/unlocking and remote starting your vehicle that is equipped with a Viper 5902. The Viper 5902 remote does have a button lock option in the settings. It's a very easy process to turn the button lock on, I'll walk you threw the steps in this car audio tip.

 On the right side of the remote there is a toggle/function switch. Press it in and hold it down until the setting menu is displayed. 

The very first feature should be the button lock setting, select that by pressing the same toggle/function button in.  

Now toggle the arrow to the ON position and press select. You should then be able to back out of the settings menus, by selecting BACK. If you don't back out of the setting menu, it should just time out in 10-20 seconds if no buttons are pressed. 

Now when you hit a button this screen should display and ask you to perform the button sequence to unlock the Viper 5902 remote.

Hope this helps!

Hummer H2 Stereo Removal-Remote Start

If you're installing a new stereo or a remote start in a H2 Hummer, there is quite a bit of disassembly required. I actually did a remote start in this Hummer, but the process of disassembly is the same to get the stereo out.  

 

 You will first need to put the vehicle into 1st gear and remove the T15 (torx) from the shifter. Allowing you to lift up and remove the shifter out of the way.

With your panel removal tool release the clips on the cut holder/shifter panel. There should be three clips holding the panel on. You may have to apply quite a bit of force to get those clips to come free. 

 Under the cup holders you will need to remove the 10mm bolt.

Under the edge at the front of the center console there will be two 7mm screws, that need to be removed. 

 Open the center consol and take out the four Phillips screws holding the main liner of the center consol compartment in place. Then take out the plastic center consol liner.

 Under that liner will be four 10mm bolts that need to be removed.

You should now be able to pull the center consol back.

 Remove the two Allen bolts from the top of the main dash panel.

 You should now be able to free the main dash panel, allowing you axess to the stereo.

If you need to get to the main ignition wires for an alarm or remote start system, keep reading.

Remove the 7mm screw holding the edge of the plastic panel/knee bolster.

 There will be one Allen bolt on the right side of the steering wheel securing the gauge cluster shroud,  that needs to be removed.

Followed by two more on the panel to the left of the steering wheel, once the Allen bolts are removed you should be able to pull and remove this panel. There will be several clips on the top edge.

Then pull out and remove the gauge cluster shroud.

There should be another 7mm screw that needs to be removed, on the bottom edge of the plastic panel under the steering wheel.

You should then be able to release the two clips on the top edge of that panel, and gain access to all your main ignition wires.

This is what was left in this Hummer after the first attempted remote start installation, by another local shop. Lol, I won't say any names. 

Hope this help!

1999-2003 Honda S2000 Tach Wire For Remote Start.

When installing a remote start system, it's always best to tap into a tachometer wire if possible. In this 2001 Honda S2000 it couldn't get any easier to find the Tach wire. It should be the blue wire pinned in a black harness, right next to the firewall on the driver side in the engine bay. Normally it's secured with blue tape.

This should be the same in all the first generation Honda S2000s (1999-2003)

Installing A Remote Start? How To Tell If The Vehicle Is Equipped With A Anti-Theft Transponder Based Immobilizer System.

 If you are installing a remote start system into your vehicle or having someone install it for you, you should first find out if you will need a immobilizer bypass module. Here is a quick way you can find out if your vehicle is equipped with a anti-theft transponder based immobilizer system.  

Get a piece of tin foil about 2sf and fold it in half about 4 times

Take your key off any key chains

Place it on the corner of the tin foil

Fold the tin foil over the top of the key

Tightly rap the key in tin foil making sure the top of the key is completely covered. Them stick it in the vehicles ignition switch and try to turn it over. If the key will not turn in the ignition switch or the vehicle will turn over but will not start or starts briefly and then dies, then your vehicle is equipped with a anti-theft transponder based immobilizer system. You will need to purchase a immobilizer bypass module to temporarily disable the anti-theft system, in order to remote start your vehicle without the key in the ignition switch. You can get these bypass modules from various manufactures, and sometimes you will need several keys to program them correctly, in some cases you will even have to give up one of your keys permanently. I usually use Flashlogic modules, they normally go for about $99 and if you can't figure out how to flash it or install it, your local car audio shop should be able to help you out :) Let me know if anyone has any questions...  http://www.flashlogic.com/
