I am wondering if anyone has experience with the Viper 5900 Responder SST? I am looking for a remote starter/alarm and this one is currently on sale. If you know any other good ones, please let me know.

Thanks.

5901 is better and has much better positive reviews.

I have the 5900 and i love it. Of course. I would trade it for the 5901, but no money yet.

Thanks for the responses, I decided on the 5900 because the $100 difference can be used towards the installation. I asked around for the cost of install and I got a quote for $175 if it doesn't have a bypass. $50-80 more if there is a bypass.

Anyone know what a bypass is?

Thanks in advance.

Oh and how hard would it be if I were to install it myself? I would like to know the exact wires used so that I might be able to keep this remote starter for my next car when the time comes.

Thanks.

yes you will have to bypass the immobilizer in order for the remote start to work

FuriousSam

Is it possible for me to buy the bypass? If so, what's a good brand and how much?

Yes its 50-80 dollars like you said. You can get it on ebay for 30 thats what I did and its a DEI thats the brand

you can use a canmax400 or 556uw for bypass. www.xpresskit.com

You can get a compatible XpressKit XK05 bypass from buy.com for like $49.00 or less.

Ok, so I finally got the d@mn thing installed today (I know I know), and I have to say: "I should have done it sooner!"

Now I see the AUX button in the remote and I want it to be the trunk switch, but the guy tells me that I need an extra module for it to work. I have a 1999 TL and I can't find anything in the Viper manual that tells me if it's true or not. Please help!

FuriousSam

Also, is it better to use the remote starter to start the car now because it won't over crank the starter like if I use my key? (Pressing two buttons or turning the key and have to have quick reflexes to not over crank it?)

Thanks,

hey question where you got that 175$ installation quote from?

FuriousSam

I believe it's from "The Boss Audio" in the Amboys.

FuriousSam
