I connected the 508d proximity sensor to my Viper 791xv. The problem im having is that if i set off the proximity sensor, it shows sensor 1. If i set of the shock sensor, it also shows sensor 1. How can i get the alarm to differentiate between sensor 1 and sensor 2? I connected the red to red, black to black, and the blue and green from the prox. i connected both of them to the blue. The loose green wire from the harness, i connected that as well to the blue wire. The green wire that loops, i left untouched. If i did any of the wiring wrong, can you please point it out? thanks.

 

Since you tapped into the shock sensor input, it's only going to show sensor 1 as triggered, regardless of which unit activates.


Are you using any of the other inputs? Like the trunk or hood trigger? If not, hook the prox sensor up to one of those... If all triggers are hooked up, then you'll have to live with the problem...

 

yea all my other triggers are used. while looking through the manual i noticed that theres a sensor 1 and sensor 2?

 

you can hook it up this way



This would show up as your "2" sensor being triggered for the proxy

 

doesnt that alarm have a seperate port for optional sensors, so you dont have to tap in

No. Has just the shock sensor plug, and separate triggers for hood, trunk and door.

 

You have it wired incorrectly, Zone 1 and 2 are not the same as sensor 1 and 2, if you have the manual go to page 33, [shock sensor harness 4-pin connector] or go here and scroll down to 32... http://www.directeddealers.com...5.pdf 94

 

thanks egprelude and fcm, i wired it the way yall pointed out and it shows as 2 different sensors!

 

man that is confusing
