Hey Guys,

Well I'm about to have the Viper 791XV remote start/security installed. The shop wants an extra $80 to do the heated seats on the accessory switch. (sounds a little high, Best Buy said $40)

The install of the system will be $280.

How hard is it to hookup the heated seats in my truck to the accessory switch on the remote? Could the heated seats, mirrors and defroster be hooked up to the accessory switch on the remote?

That way when the truck is started and I push that button it already begins to defrost everything for me, which will be nice to have in a few weeks!

Thanks,

Duke

 

check out the installation manual for the Ford systems on this site: http://www.gemsen.com/ford/

I know they show how the to hook up the heated mirrors/defroster and heated seats to the Ford system.

On my Ford/Code Alarm system, I tapped into the heater mirror wire with the AUX 1 (auxilary) wire. So after I remote start my truck, I press the button one more time to turn on the heated mirrors. I believe if I had heated seats, I would press the button once more to turn on the seats.

 

Yeah I was wondering if you push that button, can you get all that stuff to turn on. But if they're gonna charge $80 just to do seats, then all that other stuff too, would just be too expensive.

I'll read into that manual, but I'm really bad with wiring.

 

I think you will need a latching relay to keep the accessory on. By pushing the button, it will only turn it on while the button is pushed unless the output can be latched on in the alarm.

 

Chris Adams, what are your thoughts on this?

 

Im not trying to de-rail the thread but. . .

How hard would it be to make my tailgate lock and unlock with the doors on my alarm?

 

not too hard if you could find a way to electronically lock the manual only lock... wiring it would be the pain... trying to get the wire from inside the tailgate into the bottom half of the bed would suck unless you were creative

 

very very easy, but would be pain with the wiring

 

About this hard.

 

How much do you think it'd cost to have it done?

 

If you had me do it it would be about twelve million dollars because I work so dang slow. I really have no idea, I do this stuff for fun.

 

Myst, do you have AIM?

 

Nope.

Not to get my thread back on track....but I will anyway....lol ....

Ok myst ignore thump!!!! This is my thread and now I'm pouting because I want to be able to hook up the heated seats, heated mirrors and defroster to that accessory button on the key fob.

Thoughts, fellas????
