wannabang Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) My Christmas gift to myself: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ZHFXKU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATMW9223S6T4N This is the remote start system I intend on ordering. Has anyone ever used it, or other viper kits, that can offer your testimony on their products? I'm under the impression I need an immobilizer bypass as well, which I intended on getting from sonicelectronix. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43061_Omega-OL-MDB-ALL.html What should I be aware of when taking this to a local shop to install it? Are there any common problems with this particular system? Anyone else get their kit off amazon? I've seen a couple videos on YouTube that show the windows wired to roll up and down and it'd be neat if I could change the trunk popper on this kit to do that. **EDIT** 1/24/13: Getting it installed, today. Ended up getting a universal bypass for ~$20 and having sonicelec. program the key. Total cost: $350 with installation. Maybe I'll make a video?

I can't answer all the question's you asked. But I recently installed a viper alarm system 5301 on my edge. Works greats. As far as the bypass module I purchased this one <<here >> Had a friend cut a key for me. Very cheap and works great. The viper alarm I purchased was refurbished by viper and I purchased it for half the price. As you can see my only intention was to keep cost low but at the same time maintain all the feature's of a viper alarm system. After the install is finish you just want to make sure that everything is working correctly. The alarm system. The remote start. As far as the window's you can purchase what's known as module's for viper. There's a window module and other module's for specific functions. Of course I believe these are all add on's. Good luck.

wannabang Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Not sure what you mean by "had a friend cut a key for me". The bypass requires an additional key that doesn't come with it? If I buy a module that is vehicle-specific and set for my viper system, would I still need to get this key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for that price I would assume no. You can always verify with a simple email. There are two type's of bypass module's one that require a key and one that doesn't require a key. The one that doesn't require a key is more expensive but you not spending money to cut a key or lose a extra key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I ended up going with the universal $18 one from sonic, but he said they always flash their modules with vehicle-specific codes and match it to the model of remote start. Hopefully that will clear up the key issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyDubs Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Do you have the power lift gate and if so are they able to hook that up to the Viper alarm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I don't have the power liftgate, unfortunately. I want the auto-window thing more, anyway. Update: Guy assumed it was JUST a remote start, quoted me $300 for the alarm, too. New place quoted ~$200 for both. Getting that done tomorrow morning. Key ran $120 from the dealer. New final cost: ~$520. Damn the guy before me for not leaving his spare key when I bought the car and me not bargaining for it when I bought it. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Got it all done today, and it works great! I'm extremely happy with it. Total cost: $501. Guy at the local small business I took it to said he'd knock $70 off a $120 bypass they sold in exchange for mine. Theirs didn't require an extra key, so now I have a spare key, and access to remotely unlock my doors. Took them 7 hours. Definitely will prove to be worth it after the snow we just got and the ten minute walk I have to my car on campus. Thanks, Offey's. I can put a video up if there's enough care for one.

wannabang Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I love my system. Got it cheap off Amazon, and luckily for me, the place I had it installed bought my garbage bypass and gave me one of their best for the difference. I love small, local business. Didn't even need the spare key I bought for $125... grr. LOL I'm sure you'll be happy with yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge535 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Update: I got my smart start VSS5000 loving it lol. bottom line it will be cheaper to just get it from best buy and get the bypass module from amazon $60 bestbuy wants $100 for the module Best Buy package includes installation already. Optional: $49.99 smart start service fee for a year or 133 for 3 years to each his own. 2011 Edge SEL regular key, no power lift gate it works. Also i can still lock and unlock the doors with my regular key, but the viper alarm system wont arm unless you use the little remote that came in the box so ill just use that for now. its not bulky or i just use my smart phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
