YO DAVE THIS WAS A REAL ROCKET SCIENTIST DIY JOB HERE. I DID NOT REALLY NEED TO WATCH AS I ALL READY FIGURED IT OUT. I WAS HOPING YOUR AI SIDE KICK KELLY MIGHT MAKE AN APPEARANCE. WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER? IS SHE ALL RIGHT? IS SHE EVEN STILL ALIVE DAVE? YOU NEED TO PRODUCE HER OR I AM CALLING THE AUTHORITIES! SHE HAD A GREAT RACK DAMN IT.
very BAD advice !! No need for another car. Just connect a a tiny powerpack (ones used to recharge your mobile) to the connectors at front, and start the prius. That needs very little power, as the ICE engine is not thrown on. It only needs to power the computer of the prius, that then connects the big battery to keep up voltage of small one, at 13.8V. I have done it quite a few times and works like a charm.

my ADT wall controller just turn off.... no power, ... Any help why is this?
Hi. I’m sorry to hear that! I would check the circuit breaker to make sure you haven’t tripped a breaker. If that’s not it, I would call your alarm system so they can help you troubleshoot. Good luck!
Excellent - didn't know it was there. Dusty inside.
Glad you found it. Seems like most people didn’t know. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you!!
You are welcome. I hope it helped!
Another way to arm it is. Put in your code then push 4 for away instant
Thank for the comment! I tried that on my system and it did not do anything. Does yours look the same as mine?
@@DaveCarolson I have a SimpliSafe security system hooked up to the alarm company.
Thanks!
@@DaveCarolson CODE+4 on a Vista is the MAXIMUM mode (away with no delay). Sone ADT versions of the Vista disable this function, but non-ADT Vista panels will have it. It really depends on what PROM Chip is in the control panel.
@Georninja Thanks! I did not know that. Glad you commented!
6 years. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
10/10 on presentation , explanation & supply list. I’m so glad I don’t have to take all of the blinds down. Thanks Dave!
@@jenniferemerich3106 wow! I’m so glad it worked for you!
doesn’t work on 2013
Sorry to hear that! I have only tried this in my 2nd gen. I would try this video th-cam.com/video/D-QcSWnW7SM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=X8FkA_RhhZQq7pC9 Good luck!

Thank you!!!!

Same to me happend and today was Solved . Thanks for hint.
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Tip to take slat off with 1 hand... hold the slat from up high and push it gently so that it glides straight up (it's a small/ slight motion) and then slide it off to the side
Thanks for the tip! I am sure that will help some people!
Sir, thank you for this very clear and informative video on a very specific topic that made me, as a first time home owner, incredibly concerned for my shower. You saved me a ton of headache, time and money! Thank you very much. Subscribed, likes and 🔔
Thanks for the comment! I’m so glad it helped!
No it didn’t start even when I put the fob in the slot
Hi. It sounds like there may be another problem besides the key fob battery. I would check to make sure the little red light on the key fob lights up when you hit a button. Also I would check to make sure the 12v battery in the car is good. It also could be the starter or the alternator. It may take some troubleshooting to figure it out. Good luck!
I think that you should change the title of your video. It does NOT show how to enable "Keyless Entry".
Hi @max2us. Sorry to hear you are having trouble. The button near the driver’s feet labeled “key” needs to be out both for the car to start without the key in the slot and for the door to unlock without you hitting the unlock key. This is what I meant by “keyless entry.” I hope this helps. If not, let me know what you are having trouble with. Maybe I (or someone else) has an idea that can help.
Where can I get a new part at?
Hi. Thanks for the question! Here's a link to the correct (for my blinds) wand tilt mechanism: fixmyblinds.com/products/graber-g71-wand-control-tilt-mechanism
@@DaveCarolson 14 BUCKS FOR ONE PIECE...WHATS YOUR CUT DAVE? THAT IS SOME SERIOUS THIEVERY!
Thank you so much. So helpful
You are welcome!
Still won't recognize
Sorry to hear that! I recommend checking the key fob battery
The video cuts off the top part and doesn't show the full image. Try to put on wider lens. Can't see par of what you are videotaping. Otherwise a detailed helpful video.
Hi. Thanks for watching! Sorry if you couldn’t see something. If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer.
Thank you , I did it myself. Didn’t even need maintenance help.
Awesome! I’m glad it helped!
Is it that simple??? Saw other videos where they do alarm trst mode or go into the adt app.
Yep! That’s all I did and my system has been working like a charm ever since. Good luck!
@@DaveCarolsonthank you!
Ever since we lost power, this stupid thing would say "Fault, Back Door" or front door and it was driving us nuts!!!! The codes/instructions on the control panel didn't help. We are not using nor paying for the alarm, so no help from anywhere else. This video was quick and to the point and SOLVED the issue. Thank you 1000 times thank you.👍
So glad it helped!
That is amazing
Glad it helped!
Does this work in the newer models like 2016-2017 modles
I’m not sure. I don’t have a newer model. You may want to check this out th-cam.com/video/mdhy7ZCiD3o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-iipU0k5BkOULh5H
Even hearing the beep in this video infuriates me. Thanks for the help!!
You're welcome
My fob won't unlock my doors either. It's not my button.its not my 12volt battery
Sorry to hear that. Did you try changing the key fob battery? Sometimes it has enough juice to light the red light but not enough to unlock the doors. I hope that helps.
Ours broke today, so I pray this is the fix for it. This definitely looks easy enough!
I hope it helps! Let me know
Absolutely impossible to see that.
Sorry you couldn’t see. If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer. Thanks.
Thanks the same exact thing happened to mine. The task was a lot easier than it looked. 👍 I just didn't want to break it more. The walk through helped a lot!!
I’m so glad it helped! Thanks a lot for the comment!
You are the man
Thanks, Jesse. I’m glad it helped!
I’m so excited that this worked… mine was also just appart.. works now..thanks so much
Great job! I’m so glad it worked!
I accidentally found it and used to keep all my vapes and e-liquids in that compartment .
Haha. I think we all accidentally find it
Nice try but I can't access the hook at the end of the wand because there is plastic holding it in place ... and covering up the hook.
Hi. Thanks for commenting! It sounds like you are having trouble removing the wand, is that right? Sometimes the plastic ring that attaches to the wand tilt mechanism has to be pushed in and moved to the side to navigate out and unhook. Sometimes there is a plastic piece around the circumference of the wand where it attaches to the wand tilt mechanism. Do either of those sound like what you are running into?
Send a picture if you can
HEY SARAH I CAN CRUISE BY AND LEND THE ASSIST IF YOU LIKE. IT WOULD BE MY PLEASURE 4 SURE! FYI I AM CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND ON THE MARKET.
Thanks!!
You are welcome! Glad it helped!
And when the key fob battery is good, the button is out, and the smart / proximity function still does not work… What then?
Hi. Thanks for the comment. That’s a tough one. Without seeing it, it’s hard to say. I suspect you may have something actually malfunctioning. Next time you have the car serviced, they may be able to check it. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
I too have the same issue.. not sure what to do now 😢
Every time you say “as you can see” we can’t see.
Hi. I’m sorry you could not see clearly! I will definitely try to make sure it’s clearer in the future. If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them.
1234604
1234 is just a temporary code I set. You should use your code you set up. Good luck!
İt worked thank you
Glad it worked for you! You are welcome!
finally i can pick up from the plug

I dont type i got the chain and rope type but the chain will not turn
Hi. I have not used the chain type so I am not sure about that. I wish you good luck.
Thank you man

Very helpful since their ADT pulse app is down🤬
How do you turn off bypass ?
All you have to do to turn it off is disarm the system normally. Next time you arm, it will arm normally unless you bypass again.
Your end cap isn't on all the way.
Thanks!
Still doesn’t work for me. The button is out but I still have to put the key in to start.
I’m sorry to hear that! I would double check that you have fresh batteries in the key fob. Other than that, may need to have someone look at it when you get the car serviced. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
@@ABhalo23 here's something besides a thumbs up. I've read that it's common for wires between the drivers door and jam to get damaged.
How long does this work for?
It should work as long as you need. The bypass does not expire so you can set it and forget it.
How do you disable it for the basement door only?
Thanks for the comment. I do not know a way to do that. Sorry. You could bypass the basement door but that would mean it’s not alarmed at all.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
You are welcome. I hope it helped!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much.
