Another Viper 5901 Thread

[Raylo]

Congrats! Have another beer! My Clifford Matrix system came with a door lock relay satellite box but I don't know the DEI part number. Probably find it easily enough online. I'm kinda surprised the Viper doesn't have onboard door lock relays. But then I was surprised to need a relay satellite on my Clifford system. Can't help with the window roll up. Never saw enough point to that to bother looking into it.

Well, if you insist, I don't want to be rude.

Yeah the window thing isn't that big of a deal, but it comes with the door lock module and it would be cool. And I have left a window down before on accident so there is a small use for it.

I can't wait for a cold or hot day so I can actually use the remote start with a purpose. Woo, come on winter

Yeah, on my last vehicle with RS I used it only in the winter. But on this vehicle I also use it on hot days. I park far out in parking lots, like at the grocery store, and give it a start when I walk out the store's door. Just 30 seconds or so with the a/c on is enough to purge that incredibly hot air out of the ducts and have reasonably cool air coming out of the vents. Damn, I must be getting soft in my old age! ;-) It'll need a longer run in the winter after sitting the day at work. But these remotes have tremendous range so there's a good chance you can start it up from your desk 5 or 10 minutes early. And flashing (or steady if programmed that way) parking lights while running after R/S help you find the car in a cold dark parking lot.

Question for you and Lee and Jagger... does the window roll up module let you roll the windows up with the remote? Like if you leave the windows cracked on a hot day can you then roll them up remotely when a storm is rolling in? That might be a worthwhile feature... save me a long walk down several floors and back. Or even better.. hook it up to a rain sensor so it shuts the windows when the rain starts (and system is armed). OK, I am getting oiut of control here....

Yes,
Though it has been a while, you can hook it up so you have control and can crack the windows open or just wide open or roll them up a little or all the way. Not sure with DEI as the only units I have hooked up were code alarm but I would think DEI has just as many features if not more.
Basically you use the extra channels from the high dollar remote starters, also there are channel adders out there(you can use a relay to add channels to a remote control).
