How To Install Viper Keyless Entry System
I bought the viper 5901 which is the same alarm but using another brand name. They both made by DEI and well its not too hard to install into the runner. This was the first time i did it and was able to do most of it alone and it made it a little faster when i had a friend give a hand. If u buy this alarm, u can take it almost anywhere to get it installed but most places ive called say they usually want about $200-250 for install. U can get the ciper version from bestbuy installed for $500. My cousin got this done there but they seem to have skipped alot of the small things that make the alarm better.
Thanks for the responses. I just have a few more questions on top of that if you guys can help me:Does things get complicated if there's a pre-existing car alarm installed? I have an older python alarm hooked up when I bought the 4runner.And, does this come with just a shock sensor? It seems like the glass break sensor and tilt sensor have to be bought separately. What setup do you guys have?How does the Python, Viper, and Clifford compare to one another?
Is it all the same? I've notice the remotes were slightly different between brands. Ok so since there is a pre-wired python in there its actually much simplier bc most or possibly all of the wires are the same color so all u have to do is cut the wires from the connectors and splice them to the new wires. Its alot easier then trying to find the factory wires and tap into them.Yes this just comes with the shock sensor that is integrated into the brain (module box) so make sure u put it into a good place. I actually put mine against the metal in the driver's side kick panel. Well i have since got for free from my cousin, an extra shock snesor and an extra siren so my alarm is VERY sensitive and loud.U can purchase the tilt and glass break sensor but it all depends on if u feel that ull need it. From wat most ppl have told me, the tilt sensor is pointless bc the only time ur ride will be tilted is if they are towing ur car and by that time it makes no difference.

Mar 18, 2017 I install the Bulldog KE1702 keyless entry on every Ford Crown Victoria P71 police interceptor and Dodge Charger police car I ever buy. It's a great system that is inexpensive, reliable,.
Im still debating on purchasing this myself to see if it will work properly when someone gets on my rear bumper to try to steal my roof rack. As for the glass break sensor, it is great if u have dont have/want window tint. The sensor is set to a specific frequency if the glass is broken for the alarm to sound but if u have window tint then it doesnt work since the tint changes the frequency so itll be pointless to purchase/have.So between viper, clifford, and python. They are exactly the same if u get its corresponding model. I have a viper 5901 and wanted a python 991 but the viper was about 70 cheaper when i purchased mine so thats wat sold me on it though when i get a replacement remote ill be getting a python one since i like the look.

So u can mix between a viper alarm with python remote and wat not.well i hope this helps and let me know if u have any other questions about alarms and/or the wiring. Yeah man, it's really tough! It took me all freakin day!I would suggest having it installed professionally if you're not confident, it's not fun cutting ignition wires.

The install in pretty straight forward as long you have all the materials needed (zip ties, wirecolore, t-taps, solder, etc) and TIME.Do not rush.If you did not know, DEI is the ALARM maker.
They make all Viper, Clifford, Python you name it. The only different ones are Audiovox, CodeAlarm (I think) and maybe another. ALL the colors are the same. DEI is just slick to confuse the consumer.It can massage into an existing alarm no issues.My factory alarm is still in tact so think of it as having 2 layers of protection!Anyway,My 2cents.
