I just had the Viper 5901 2 way autostarter/alarm installed into my car. Everything works fine and I love it and I'm starting to get use to the way you have to setup the car in order for it to start up next time. It requires me to put it in neutral, press and hold the brakes, pull the ebrake, release the brake, and press a button on the remote, leave the car then arm the vehicle to turn it off.

This is all fine and dandy but what's annoying is if I unlock, open the door, or anything. The autostarter disables and I have to redo the steps in order for me to remote start it again. Is there any way I can bypass this? It's extremely annoying when I forget something and my car is all set and turned off but I have to go in and get it and have to turn on the car, and redo all the steps.

Anything?

that sucks.

my avital, all i gotta do is leave the car in neutral. thats it.

Yea it's really annoying. Assuming this is pretty much top of the line autostarter/alarm. It'd be a good autostarter but the procedures and things required to allow the remote start to work is annoying. No way to bypass?!?

lol your guy set it up to an OEM standard. I know if i wanted the OEM remote starter in my car, anytime i opened the door if i remote started it, it would turn it off.

My old lude had a 5901, like nick said all i had to do as well was put it in neutral, it seems likes the shop you took it to was trying to save there asses from a lawsuit just in case anything happened....

It was Future Shop that did mine but I work there so maybe I'll be able to get them to redo it.

So they pretty much have to install it like an automatic car. Is that correct?

That's really scary guys! If someone actually installed it that way I wouldn't return to that shop due to lack of ethics. I've installed many remote starts in manuals and to do it RIGHT, not okay or acceptable but RIGHT. There NEEDS to be a manual safety sequence. For our AstroStarts 2 park brakes, turn ign off, get out, shut door. Car shuts off. Crunch wrap supreme..good to go. Open a door..no start. IF you need to get into the car, remote start it, get in do your business close 'er up. Shut it down from the remote. That simple.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT!

Just tried it out and that method works fine. The "start the car to grab your thing" Is a better solution then having to unlock, get in, grab stuff, start car, drop ebrake, press release brake, press brake, pull ebrake, push button, walk out, lock.

Thanks!

You bet man. And please don't change that. No disrespect to nick or itdj but that's a poooorly installed remote start.

Ya I'm definitely keeping it like that. I have no problem doing the steps, it was just irritating that I was unable to get into my car without having to redo the steps. S'all good now

mehh, i didn't do the install (since everyone knows i suckkk at electrical work ) so i don't take any offense.

but after reading the sequence the OP has to do every single time......... i'd much prefer my setup than his.
plus i did a clutch kill switch in my car like 4 years ago, so if i didn't flip the switch... car no start. it was completely separate from the alarm/remote start.

Im not a big fan of Vipers method. Mine has a few different ways to program it (another reasnn AstroStart>Viper) so for me neutral, park brake. Done. Get out close door car shuts down. People look at you like your driving Kit

I bought the car that way when i had it so no offence to me..

no remote start on the evo tho......wack

Ive noticed my car doesn't remote start sometimes. It'll try and keep starting but won't actually start. Then when I go into my car and start it, it works fine.

Sounds like a transponder issue. Try and watch through the window and see if the security key light comes on. If you just purchased it take it back to the shop. Sometimes things like that can happen.

What i ment was the car actually attempts to turn on and you hear the engine but it doesn't actually get to the idle point. But when I step in my car and turn it on with my key, it goes into idle right way

That exactly describes a transponder bypass issue. Shop should cover you.

Yup. Life time warranty on labor. I'll book an appointment and see what they say.

Here's a test for your own price of mind and furthering of your knowledge. Set up the car for remote start but stay in it when you shut it down. Place the key in the ignition and remote start. If it starts like it should then its a transponder issue. If not, problem else where. The shop will get you squared away.
