Installation Process
The Viper 5706V installation involves wiring connections, mounting the control module, and configuring remote start settings. Follow the manual step-by-step to ensure proper setup and functionality.
Preparing the Vehicle
Before installing the Viper 5706V, ensure your vehicle is prepared. Open at least one door and turn the ignition to the “Run” position. Disarm the system and turn off the ignition. Locate a suitable spot for the control module, typically behind the rear seat or near the Body Control Module (BCM). Clean and secure the area to prevent interference. If installing in a manual transmission vehicle, enable the Manual Transmission Start (MTS) mode to ensure the system functions correctly when the vehicle is parked. Follow the manual’s guidelines to avoid any issues during the installation process. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and successful setup of your Viper 5706V system.
Mounting the Control Module
Mounting the control module is a critical step in the Viper 5706V installation. Locate a safe and accessible spot, such as behind the rear seat or near the Body Control Module (BCM), ensuring it is protected from moisture and extreme temperatures. Use screws to secure the module firmly to the vehicle’s surface. Avoid areas with moving parts or obstructions that could damage the unit. Once mounted, connect the wiring harness to the module, ensuring all connections are tight and properly routed. Double-check that the module is not obstructed by vehicle components. This step ensures the system operates reliably and maintains your vehicle’s security and remote start functionality. Proper installation is essential for optimal performance.
Wiring Connections
Connect the battery and ignition wires to the control module, ensuring proper polarity. Link sensors and auxiliary components according to the wiring diagram. Double-check all connections for accuracy.
Battery and Ignition Connections
Connect the positive battery wire to the vehicle’s battery and the negative wire to a grounding point. Attach the ignition wire to the ignition switch, ensuring it only powers on when the key is in the “ON” position. Verify polarity to prevent damage. Test the system to confirm proper operation. If unsure, consult a professional installer or the manual for guidance. Proper connections are critical for safe and reliable functionality. Always follow the wiring diagram provided in the installation guide. Double-check connections before testing the remote start feature. Incorrect wiring may result in system failure or vehicle damage. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to avoid short circuits. Consult the manual for specific wiring details or contact Directed support for assistance.
Sensor and Auxiliary Connections
Connect the shock sensor to monitor impacts and trigger the alarm. Attach the auxiliary wires to compatible vehicle features such as power locks or trunk release. Mount the tilt sensor to detect vehicle tilting. Adjust the sensor sensitivity as needed to avoid false alarms. Securely fasten all sensors to ensure accurate detection. Route auxiliary wires neatly to prevent interference. Test each sensor to confirm proper function and adjust settings if necessary. Ensure auxiliary functions integrate seamlessly with the vehicle’s systems. Refer to the installation guide for specific wiring details and adjustments. Proper sensor setup is crucial for reliable security and remote start operation. Consult the manual or a professional if adjustments are unclear. Regularly inspect sensor connections to maintain optimal performance. Auxiliary features enhance the system’s functionality, so correct installation is essential. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for precise configuration and testing.
