Great video, the one thing that I would strongly suggest, is to fit a diode between terminal 85 and 86. Eg. The positive side of the diode to pin 85 and the negative side to pin 86, this will prevent any voltage spikes from the relay damaging any of the vehicle's control units. *FYI I have been an auto electronics engineer for over 38 years 🙂
i have watched this video over and over and over again. I got the parts, made a few connections and with no adjustments needed, it works perfectly!!!! thank you
Thank you for your awesome video. I just did this on a 2009 JK four-door, mounted in the same place and it works flawlessly even with my remote start. I did not use a micro switch or toggle switch because when the alarm is disabled from the key fob the unit will not work. So all you really need to do is disarm the vehicle upon entry and the alarm is disabled. Thank you again so much.
I'm glad the video could help! I added the Mico switch because the sensor can still pick up movement and cause the dome light or the gate ajar light to come on. This is only an issue if you're working on the interior with the Jeep off, the dome light coming on and off can get annoying. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Just ordered the items and going to do this on my black bear. After installing a backup camera a few months ago with the rear view mirror display, I know this will be an all day project for me and my husband, but your video will make it so much easier!!!
Great vid bro. Installing the motion, shock, tilt, & glass break sensors to my truck factory alarm. Just had my hellcat stolen, WISH I'VE WOULD'VE SEEN THIS SOONER ..
NOTE: Grab a cup of coffee, and something to eat. Sit your azz still and watch the video with full screen. Take out the passenger seat, use 5 pin relay wiring diagram, install hidden power switch, 'He is not going to show us,' Long video. But I learn a lot. Thank You.
Thanks for checking out the video. I don't show the switch as to make everyone come up with their own "hidden location". Don't want everyone running around with their switches in the same spot.
Score! thanks a bunch! My 2017 JKURR has factory alarm, my son accidentally activated it 2 weeks after getting the jeep, (unlocked the door with window down).... a Month later while parked at night beside a fence in a buddies driveway, (with windows down, doors locked)... some thief without opening the door, riffled through the glove box & center console while we were in the garage having beers,. Your right, they take everything of no value, the jeep owners manual, a flashlight, my CD collection & some other stuff of little value that was out of eyesight, all gone!. This proximity alarm would have stopped this !!! Again thanks a bunch, I will order the parts & install it ASAP, 1st thing in the spring!
this is great rock. I never knew you could add those things to it, and when I had my srt I just purchased an additional system when I could have Just as easily done this. great job bro
Yep, not a lot of people know you can do this... and a lot of shops don't want you to know either. They want you to buy a new unit and have them install it. Thanks for watching!
you know if I haven't put my bumper on yet and ive had it for like 6 months still wrapped up like it was when it was delivered from ups, whos saying how long I would take to put this in and it looks really simple. . you rock man. and thanks for the like on wva jeep community.
I love that you went step by step on your Jeep. I wish you was installing a Shock Sensor on a Acura Legend 1993. I try to install a Shock Sensor in my Acura Legend 1993 and it did not go well for me; I did not get it right yet.
@@clittle1559 Each month out my check I try to buy parts for my Car to bring her back. When you on a fix income I have decide to buy something for me or my Dog or My Car.
I bet there is a way to bypass the need for that switch. The key is to kind a wire that goes to ground or positive when armed and tie into that with another relay.
You are correct, this can be done without the switch, but it is much easier using the mini toggle when explaining this process in a video. Thanks for watching!
It's a dirty little secret that car/mobile audio shops don't want you to know. They want you to spend a few hundred bucks on a whole new "Viper" alarm system. Another little secret, "Viper" alarms used to be the cheapest Chinese off-brand alarms on the market, you could buy them at K-Mart! Now they are the best if you ask the audio shops.
Interesting. I've always seen Viper alarms being pushed as high end systems. I also remember seeing them available in places like K-Mart too though! hahaha
For those who prefer not to cut into the tailgate wire, you can install an Alarm Siren (12V DC, 110dB) by connecting the Alarm Siren RED power wire directly to a 12-volt constant power source. Attach the Proximity Sensor green wire to the black wire on the Alarm Siren. This method allows anyone whose tailgate wiring is already connected to utilize the alarm system's second-stage green wire function as well. I'd rather deal with the alarm chirping than the horn going off. I actually have another switch between the tailgate wire just in case I want to utilize the horn.
You could splice into the hood switch, it won't activate the lights inside the vehicle. This is used to protect the battery from being disconnected. K6ORJ
Hey man, great educational video. You should do more videos and I believe you should get paid. You explained everything in so much detail, I feel that I finally learned what a relay is supposed to do. On a different note, Best Buy didn't want to install that sensor for me with a 3305V install last weekend. Could I wire it in, splicing into the existing 3305V relay or do I have to get a separate relay? Thanks in advance!
Awesome job man. Thanks so much. I would like to ask, where would the 4th wire off of the prox. sensor hook to if you wanted the warning to work? Or will that work with the factory alarm?
Have to install something like this on my Jeep now. I have a stock alarm with auto start that came with vehicle, and the factory alarm sucks... Didn't go off when someone broke my driver side window? I have a 2017 JK Sahara, and say I wanted to hook up with the warning chirps (Green wire), where and what would it hook up to? Great video by the way!!!
Love this idea since half the year I have no doors on the Jeep. What are your thoughts on also adding a door switch to tube half doors? Triggering an alarm?
Hi, great video! Just want to know if any aftermarket proximty sensor would work? Also, do you have any instructions on how to install a pin switch under the hood and connect it to the factory alarm?
I would imagine any proxy sensor would do the job, the wiring colors may be different though. I'll have to look into the hood pin switch, I have one installed for an under hood light (have a video on that as well) Wiring it to the alarm may be possible, I'll let you know if I figure something out. Thanks for watching!
Hi Bro, thanks for the informative video, I've understood most of it as a newbie to electronics. I just wanted to run something by you. 1. Could I use a fuse tap pigtail to tap into a constant Power source at the fuse box then add an additional fuse for the new circuit (the sensor)? 2. Could I do the same as above for the ignition power, except that I connect the fuse tap pigtail to the cigarette lighter fuse? Thanks in advance
You sure can, I always hard wire everything and forget to think about easier ways to hook things up. I have a video coming out this morning that uses fuse taps, just to show how easy things can be. Thanks for watching Kriben!
Okay thanks for that, Also do I not need to worry about the difference in amperage between the two circuits (the one I'm tapping into and the sensor circuit) will the 30-40A relay prevent any fuses being blown? Thanks again bud :)
The relay wont prevent any fuses from blowing, but as long as you have everything wired correctly you wont have to worry about blowing fuses, this setup has a very low power draw. The relay is just there to act as a middle man so to speak, it tells the new sensor setup when the vehicle is running so the sensor doesn't keep going off while you're driving. I hope that makes sense.
I can't say 100% what the draw is, but I would say it would be less than 2amps. More likely around 1 or less because it just sends a signal to your OEM alarm and your vehicle takes care of the rest.
So, I am now looking into these motion sensor alarms for my '16 JKUR as I just had my second break in last night through my soft top where the thief crawled all through my Jeep searching all my molle bags, under seat, console, and glove box. Will the position you used still be adequate to get my rear seats as well? Im not worried about the tailgate compartment as I dont have anything back there but a 35" spare tire. I have the BarTact seat covers and use pouches to hold most of my recovery gear and other miscilaneous tools. Just something enough as a deterent or to wake me up and scare off the would be theif would be nice.
I can't say 100% as you have a 4dr and I did this on a 2, but I'm pretty sure. I tested mine and it will go off if you reach into the back seat. It doesn't do much for all the way in the rear, but if you're anywhere in the Jeep long enough and moving around it will go off. I can mess around all the way in the back for a few seconds before it will go off, but it seems the closer you are to the sensor the faster it will pick up your motion. I hope that makes sense. It works even better with a soft-top because you mess with any part of the top and it moves in a bunch of spots and goes off much easier.
Thank you for the fast response. I may play with a could locations and see which one works the best for me. Really appreciate the video, very helpful to get an idea for what it will take me to install one.
i had a jeep once and was rifled in my driveway. so i cut outthe bottom of a large duffle out and waited for him. It turned out to be a 19 year old girl in a wife beater and almost just panties, but I had stuffed the business end of mr thunder maker in her mouth and threatened to bark fire. end of problem
Excellent video! I keep my recovery gear in the back of my 2dr with a soft top and will love to have the proximity sensor linked to the factory system. Now that you have had it for a while, any issues or updates?
Still working great! Only issue I have discovered is that it does not play nice with the remote start system I installed. The remote start works off of the OEM key fob by hitting lock 3 times, then it starts the Jeep. When using this it seems to make the proximity sensor think someone is stealing the Jeep or something. If I try and remote start while the proximity sensor is on, the alarm goes off and the Jeep starts. I don't think this would be an issue though if I had a factory remote starter. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the videos! Made my hard top dolly/cart last week (slightly modified-but of all the plans and how to's out there, I used yours-THANK YOU!!). I was looking at the motion sensors you installed on your JK on eBay, and found shock sensors as well... What are your thoughts on shock vs motion? Also, the shock sensor appeared to be from the same company and looks to use the same harness as your motion sensor... Do you think install would be the same?? Sorry it got long winded! Thanks for sharing all the videos!
Thank you for watching the videos! I'm glad they could help you out. As for the shock sensor, yep... same install and same harness. You can actually use both at the same time, but this will make the system very, very sensitive. My thoughts on one vs the other... if you are suspect that someone might get in the Jeep, either would work well, if you think someone might just reach inside, then the proximity. I think more people would be wise to the shock sensor in the way of being really gentle if they get in the rig, but if you have a motion sensor they can't really get around that. Either or both are good additions to the OE setup. Thanks again!
I have a problem that I can't figure out and hopefully you can. My gate ajar light stays on regardless of the toggle switch being off/on and the sensor won't trigger. My connections are followed: RED+ from battery into toggle switch, red wire out toggle into relay pin #30 Purple/Orange gate wire to Blue wire from module Pink/White Ignition wire into relay pin #86 Red wire from module into relay #87a Black wire from module T connected to ground of Jeep and relay #85 Thanks for your help and keep up the great videos
All off the connections you listed are correct. It sounds like your gate wire is touching a ground somewhere. You may want to check all connections made to the gate wire and make sure they are well insulated.
Great video man !. couple questions.. 1. the pink 'switched wire' is a wire with power source that comes on only when the key switch is on? i wasnt sure what you meant........and 2. when running the constant 12v red wire did you connect two wires to the mini switch? one prong from battery and the other prong to the red 12v constant to the relay? thank you for your response and time!
Does the oem alarm not have a triggered while armed wire where we can tap our 12v ignition/trigger source instead of going to 12v ignition? So we would hook up 12v con. Same but the out put to the output to the on while triggered not NC pin?
Hello, awesome video. I found all but one wire. In the video it stated the gate color wire for your 2015 was purple with orange. Do you know if it is the same for a 2016 joy? I think I got the right wire but when I tested the wire to the ground, I get no hate light turned on. Thanks
Thanks for the quick reply. Found the wire. Same color as 2015. Just hidden behind other wires. Tested line and light came on for the gate. Ran into another issue. Connected wires to relay and system work BUT when I turned on the by-pass switch on from the 12volt (constant) line, it put the Jeep into on/run position. Very odd. Don't know if having an auto starter effect it or not.
Factory alarm with after remote starter. No aftermarket alarm installed. Thanks for all your help. Just very odd. Might be a stupid question. 1. Am I supposed to turn the switch on? 2. On the device, when I lock/arm the system, should the device light (green/red) be on?
The switch should be on when you want the newly added sensor on and off when you don't. I honestly don't remember what lights or colors came on the sensor. I also have an aftermarket remote start (MPC) but no issues there.
Is there a way I can disconnect the horn during the install and testing so I don't irritate my neighbors with my horn going off haha? Btw, great video! I just bought myself some tube doors and and am looking forward to doing this install due to everything being open. Thank you!
The only thing I can think of is to unplug your horn under the hood. Just remember there are 2 of them. Thanks for watching and sorry I didn't have a better answer for you.
I did this same mod to my 4runner. Sensor seems to work. When I closed my door I stick my hand inside and I see the red light turn on. However the alarm won’t turn on. So I can arm the car. As soon as I unplug the sensor, I am able to arm the vehicle. 😕
Nice video! Based on your experimenting with the sensitivity, can you make the detection field large enough to protect the rims if someone was attempting to get them off? You said you would not want it to go off if someone just walks by in a normal setting. However, depending on the time/location it would be good to be able to warn people off who were skulking around at 3am in your driveway looking to steal your rims. I also wonder if you could manually disengage the proximity sensor (with the switch you installed if you had the sensitivity set that high for special situations), where you lock the doors and engage the factory alarm with the fob?
Before the ignition is on yes. This is also another use for the micro switch, you can mount it in a hidden location that is also easy to get to and you can simply flip the switch if the gate indicator is an issue. Thanks for watching!
Rocky X TV Thanks that makes things clear, thats indeed a good thing to install the switch so you can turn it on when you want. Nice video and good explanation.
It will not. This is because the relay that controls the motion sensor is off when the key is on. If it weren't wired correctly, I guess it could go off. Thanks for watching!
You just need to do a simple test to see if this will work for your Jeep. You'll need the doors on. - Roll down your windows - Lock the Jeep using your key fob - Wait about 15 seconds - Reach inside and open the door from the inside - If your horn starts honking, then yes this will work for you. I hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching!
@@missayawk That test means you have at least a basic "anti-theft" from the factory. There are differences between OEM anti-theft and an alarm, but you have all you need for this setup. I would have no idea on how to guide you on doing this install on a 300 unfortunately. Maybe there is a trunk wire you can substitute for the "gate" wire I mention in the video? If you are able to use the info in the video to make something work for your 300 be sure to let me know, I'm really interested if this will work.
@Rocky X TV if you wanted the First Stage Chirp to work, would it also be attached to the gate Purple Wire? Would like to set up the first stage to trigger the chirp and second stage for the alarm as I have no doors or windows on the jeep. If you could reply that would be awesome. Thanks
If I have to take the console back apart for some reason I'll be sure to video the adjustments. All you have to do is remove the little black plug (they look like buttons) and you will see 2 adjustment screws. You just have to mess with them, at least that's what I did. Thanks for watching!
So if you only have keyless entry is there a factory or aftermarket alarm that just plugs in like the Fortin remote start or do you HAVE to go aftermarket all the way?
I'm not 100% sure about anything that is "plug and play", but you may have a partial oem alarm if you have keyless entry. Roll a window down then hit lock on your key fob. Wait at least 15 seconds then reach in from the outside and open the door using the inside handle. See if an alarm goes off.
Where did you place the sensor its self? Can it be seen from back seat? Please send pic of sensor location. Also can you link two sensors one for front of cabin and second for tailgate?
I tend to forget mentioning fuses sometimes as I fabricated my own secondary relay/distribution/fuse box that keeps all aftermarket accessories separate from the factory system. This box is pre wired and fused for a ton of aftermarket stuff so I just plug into it and there's already a fuse and relay there. Thanks again!
I think the warn output is one of the coolest features. Unfortunately no warn input on OEM's. My question is, how the hell does the exterior proximity work when it's buried in interior plastics? Or the interior for that matter?
@@lJUSTwanaCOMMENT yes, in a way. All these types of sensors use the doppler effect to sense changes in proximity. When set up correctly, these microwave sensors are excellent 👍🏽
hello willy, greetings from ghana and thats an amazing video you have there. I have a few questions.1, can I install this in a car with no factory alarm system and just connect it to a siren or the car horn.2, Is there a time delay between which the device starts to work when turned on.3, From your video I am quite confused how firstly u activate the device and activate your factory car alarm as well, what turns what on between the car alarm and device. Please help, just got robbed, I need to fix one asap.
You could add this sensor to just the horn or a siren, but it would require more wiring and another relay. There is a 15 second delay between the time you "arm" the system and when it actually starts working. As for activating, I'm not sure I follow, You just press the lock button on the factory key which "arms" the system which in turn activates the factory alarm and added motion sensor. I hope this information makes sense, thanks for watching!
Thanks for they reply. I want to get the motion sensor and a siren for my car ( toyota corolla 2013) but my main issue is how to turn the motion sensor off when it is armed and I am outside the car as my car didnt come with a factory installed alarm.
I see what you mean now. Unfortunately you would need to install some form of alarm system otherwise you would just have the motion sensor wired to a switch and you would have no delay before you get out of your car it goes off. It would also only go off once because the sensor only sends a single pulse signal. You would have much better luck looking into some of the Viper alarm systems because some of them have a spot where you can just plug in the motion sensor, no extra wiring required. It looks like using just the motion sensor and a siren alone will not work out very well in your case, but some of the Viper alarm systems are pretty affordable, and I believe some may come with the motion or a shock sensor. I wish you the best of luck and I'm sorry to hear about your break-in.
Great Willy, I just wanted to be smart about this but was loosing a lot of sleep. I was considering having only the Viper 305 which comes pre installed with a shock sensor but no motion sensor but issue is i dont want a break in before my alarm goes off. Is there any complete alarm that comes with a shock and motion sensor pre installed, if not what will you recommend. That i get the motion sensor which plugs easily into the viper 305 and both will work fine. Appreciate your concern and time willy.
If you are talking about the Viper 350 alarm system, yes you can get the Direct Install Essentials 508d motion sensor and it will plug directly into the system. This setup would give you the built in "shock sensor" of the Viper 350, this is if someone bumps you car or bangs on it (you can set the sensitivity) With the 508d added it would also detect motion in or around the car depending on how sensitive you set it as well.
I've had this happen if something passed over the top of the Jeep. Like an opening garage door or parking under a tree and the branches would move. It would also sometimes go off when the soft top was on and was windy.
If you have a Viper system you should have a spot where the sensor can just plug right in. This proximity sensor works with a bunch of systems and is plug and play with most Viper setups.
I know but for the toggle switch to turn it on and off , do I have to cut the red wire and then attach one side of the red wire to the switch then the other half to the switch? Like I have it setup up with s viper alarm ?
If you have it plugged into a viper system, not the OEM alarm like in the video, you would need to cut the RED wire in the little 4 pin harness (red,black,green,blue) for the sensor. That is the power wire for the sensor. Attach one end of the cut wire to your switch and the other end of the cut wire to the other side of your switch. You may have to extent these wires to put the switch in a location of your choosing. When you turn this switch off it cuts power to the sensor only and not the rest of your alarm system. I hope that makes sense.
Hey Rocky , i just want to say thank you or the content you provide! I have some questions on this install. When the alarm is on and it gets set off does it eventually shut off after there is no movement? Or will it keep honking until the jeep unlock key is pressed? Also would there be a problem if the dome light is turned on when the alarm system is activated(jeep is off)? Would this damage anything? I believe if the Jeep is on then it wouldn't damage anything since there won't be any power to the relay, but not sure when its off Last but not least, you said that if im going to get into my jeep and i unlock it , once in , it wont beep, but the dome lights will go on and The dash will say gate ajar. Doesnt really bother me, but to avoid this you would have to turn the switch off correct? Bascially disabling the system Thank you!
The alarm will go off for I believe 15 minutes, or until the Jeep senses the battery is getting low. It will then shut itself off to keep from draining the battery, Smart Jeep LOL! If the alarm went off and you didn't hear it, then it shut itself off, when you return to your Jeep and press unlock the horn will honk 3 times really fast to let you know the alarm went off while you were away. I hope that part makes sense... No worries with the dome light. You are correct about the switch, it just disables the motion sensor. Thanks for watching and for reaching out!
Hi bro it's me again, I've purchased everything I need for the install, just one question...the Directed Install 508d Motion Sensor has two rubber adjustment knob covers, do I remove them? is there a screw underneath each? Also since we aren't using the chirp feature I will only have to adjust the outer beam (right knob)? Thanks again
There are two adjustment screws under those plugs, one for each zone. You can either leave them where they are set if by chance they work out for your vehicle/application, or you may have to fine tune them so the system won't be overly sensitive. I had mine set way to sensitive at first and it would go off if someone walked withing a few feet of my Jeep. That was a little too much.
The wire I'm using is the door pin on a sedan vehicle, the problem is that this wire also runs my DOME light, the sensor worked for a couple days until I used my DOME light manually, then it stopped working. I tested the door trigger wire and there is a voltage change when the DOME light is toggled on/off. I then tested the output of the sensor trigger wire (blue) when the sensor is triggered, the reading is 0.83 on the multimeter BUT it is not triggering the alarm at all anymore. Any thoughts on what you think this could be? Thanks
Is there a way to add a Tazer to the driver side seat that gives the thief a tingle in their dingle? I am thinking of hooking up a halon or CO2 dump into the engine air intake that will deprive the I.C.E. of oxygen while the alarm is on, That way eventually if they disable the alarm, the engine will not start until the air intake has dissapated the Halon or CO2! Which should take 10 to 20 minutes. That or an alarm activated Fart In A Can to the interior cab with auto door lock on. This will lead to enough frustration that they will give up, throw up, Or they will call 911 and turn themselves into law enforcement voluntarily! What do you think of the three options, Tazer to the Deriere, Engine Air Intake Oxygen Deprivation, or Fart In A Can to interior? Or all three?
The above comment is NOT mine, my husband borrowed my tablet and did some creative writing! I apologize, he is in the dog house and it will Not happen again!
The Viper system should have a connection port that you can just plug the proxy sensor directly into, I could be wrong though. I'm not 100% familiar with that system. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a better answer, thanks for watching!
@@RockyXTV @Rocky X TV thank God! Alright dude, so it's a lengthy one, because it requires some context.. I'm sure you understand why... Alright, so I have a 2017 silverado 1500 and I'm installing the 508d module. I've got everything I need, I've got all wires run etc.. the one thing thats been kicking my ass, I finding the trigger wire for the driver door, or any door. I've probed around in the plugs of door with a multimeter over and over again. While arming the system, while opening the door or closing the latch so it thinks it's closed.. so I found one 12v source in "A" plug behind the door panel, on the frame of door. Beside it are two other wires that get a 5v signal which I found out are the lock and unlock control wires. I cannot find a the wire to trigger the alarm.. so the trigger wire from the module sends a 5ma signal, what should I be looking for as far as voltage and maybe, in what location?? One other thing to add, when the door panels are OFF and I close the door and start the truck, it is reading that the doors are ajar. So maybe I need to plug the panel in and do some testing from there. Haven't tried that idea yet, as I'm always struggling to get time to work on it without my wife getting pissed off
And I did take the trigger signal wire from the module and try it in a few different places, but it never set off the alarm. And yessir, the module is working. I hooked it up to some LEDS lights and did some tests with the zone adjustment. Thanks for your time and consideration brother
@@nathanbearden8685 Its been a while since I've installed one of these or watched the video. If I remember correctly the trigger for the module is a ground trigger. Are you trying to use a positive trigger on the module? I could be misunderstanding, if so I'm sorry.
@@RockyXTV if you get time, Itd be awesome to get on a phone call with you so I could tell what I have going on. There are ZERO installation instructions, apart from the legend/wire diagram for the module. It's alot to explain lol. Thanks in advance dude

What kind of diod ?
The ones that Die when they get Old.....????
i have watched this video over and over and over again. I got the parts, made a few connections and with no adjustments needed, it works perfectly!!!! thank you
Glad it worked out for you, thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for your awesome video. I just did this on a 2009 JK four-door, mounted in the same place and it works flawlessly even with my remote start. I did not use a micro switch or toggle switch because when the alarm is disabled from the key fob the unit will not work. So all you really need to do is disarm the vehicle upon entry and the alarm is disabled. Thank you again so much.
I'm glad the video could help! I added the Mico switch because the sensor can still pick up movement and cause the dome light or the gate ajar light to come on. This is only an issue if you're working on the interior with the Jeep off, the dome light coming on and off can get annoying.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Just ordered the items and going to do this on my black bear. After installing a backup camera a few months ago with the rear view mirror display, I know this will be an all day project for me and my husband, but your video will make it so much easier!!!
Thank you for watching! I think you'll really enjoy the results!
Great vid bro. Installing the motion, shock, tilt, & glass break sensors to my truck factory alarm. Just had my hellcat stolen, WISH I'VE WOULD'VE SEEN THIS SOONER ..
Be nice if one of these videos would demo the actual adjustment of the sensor.
excellent video. I will be installing this next week. I also think it was a great idea to include the links on the same parts used.
This is a great DIY mod, you just have to take your time. Thanks for watching and good luck with your install.
You did a fantastic job. Thank you. A great explanation.
Very cool install, another "to do" on my Jeep. Looking forward to your other summer video ideas.
I've got a few things in the works, thanks for watching!
NOTE: Grab a cup of coffee, and something to eat. Sit your azz still and watch the video with full screen.
Take out the passenger seat, use 5 pin relay wiring diagram, install hidden power switch, 'He is not going to show us,' Long video. But I learn a lot. Thank You.
Thanks for checking out the video. I don't show the switch as to make everyone come up with their own "hidden location". Don't want everyone running around with their switches in the same spot.
Yeah. That make sensed.
Score! thanks a bunch! My 2017 JKURR has factory alarm, my son accidentally activated it 2 weeks after getting the jeep, (unlocked the door with window down).... a Month later while parked at night beside a fence in a buddies driveway, (with windows down, doors locked)... some thief without opening the door, riffled through the glove box & center console while we were in the garage having beers,. Your right, they take everything of no value, the jeep owners manual, a flashlight, my CD collection & some other stuff of little value that was out of eyesight, all gone!.
This proximity alarm would have stopped this !!! Again thanks a bunch, I will order the parts & install it ASAP, 1st thing in the spring!
Rock, this vid is the fire. Thank you very much for showing the wiring. I subbed so I'm looking forward to your new material.
this is great rock. I never knew you could add those things to it, and when I had my srt I just purchased an additional system when I could have Just as easily done this. great job bro
Yep, not a lot of people know you can do this... and a lot of shops don't want you to know either. They want you to buy a new unit and have them install it. Thanks for watching!
you know if I haven't put my bumper on yet and ive had it for like 6 months still wrapped up like it was when it was delivered from ups, whos saying how long I would take to put this in and it looks really simple. . you rock man. and thanks for the like on wva jeep community.
LOL! Not a problem man!
I love that you went step by step on your Jeep. I wish you was installing a Shock Sensor on a Acura Legend 1993. I try to install a Shock Sensor in my Acura Legend 1993 and it did not go well for me; I did not get it right yet.
Dammmmmn bad ass car bro ... 80s baby them legends were 🔥 in highschool
@@clittle1559 Each month out my check I try to buy parts for my Car to bring her back. When you on a fix income I have decide to buy something for me or my Dog or My Car.
I bet there is a way to bypass the need for that switch. The key is to kind a wire that goes to ground or positive when armed and tie into that with another relay.
You are correct, this can be done without the switch, but it is much easier using the mini toggle when explaining this process in a video. Thanks for watching!
That's cool. I had no idea you could install add-ons to a factory alarm.
It's a dirty little secret that car/mobile audio shops don't want you to know. They want you to spend a few hundred bucks on a whole new "Viper" alarm system. Another little secret, "Viper" alarms used to be the cheapest Chinese off-brand alarms on the market, you could buy them at K-Mart! Now they are the best if you ask the audio shops.
Interesting. I've always seen Viper alarms being pushed as high end systems. I also remember seeing them available in places like K-Mart too though! hahaha
For those who prefer not to cut into the tailgate wire, you can install an Alarm Siren (12V DC, 110dB) by connecting the Alarm Siren RED power wire directly to a 12-volt constant power source. Attach the Proximity Sensor green wire to the black wire on the Alarm Siren. This method allows anyone whose tailgate wiring is already connected to utilize the alarm system's second-stage green wire function as well. I'd rather deal with the alarm chirping than the horn going off. I actually have another switch between the tailgate wire just in case I want to utilize the horn.
Excellent video!! Will be installing this in my rig very soon!!!
Great stuff, thank you so much for this
Thank you for watching!
Great job , thank you for the video was so helpful 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
Great information and job explaining everything. Thanks dude.
Great detail are best video. Great job
Thank you for watching!
i was wondering about this. cool thanks man love your videos
Thank you for watching them!
You could splice into the hood switch, it won't activate the lights inside the vehicle. This is used to protect the battery from being disconnected.
K6ORJ
Great idea, but unfortunately the Wrangler doesn't have a hood switch. Thanks for watching!
Hey man, great educational video.
You should do more videos and I believe you should get paid.
You explained everything in so much detail, I feel that I finally learned what a relay is supposed to do.
On a different note, Best Buy didn't want to install that sensor for me with a 3305V install last weekend.
Could I wire it in, splicing into the existing 3305V relay or do I have to get a separate relay?
Thanks in advance!
what lift kit size and manufacture you use ?
It is the 3" TeraFlex Sport S/T3 Suspension system. Thanks for watching!
very informative, thank you Sir...
Thank you for watching!
Rocky X TV Yvw...
Awesome job man. Thanks so much. I would like to ask, where would the 4th wire off of the prox. sensor hook to if you wanted the warning to work? Or will that work with the factory alarm?
I wasn't able to find a way that worked with the factory alarm. Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed your video :) Keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
Have to install something like this on my Jeep now. I have a stock alarm with auto start that came with vehicle, and the factory alarm sucks... Didn't go off when someone broke my driver side window? I have a 2017 JK Sahara, and say I wanted to hook up with the warning chirps (Green wire), where and what would it hook up to? Great video by the way!!!
Love this idea since half the year I have no doors on the Jeep. What are your thoughts on also adding a door switch to tube half doors? Triggering an alarm?
Great video where is your shop I want mine done
Thanks! I unfortunately don't do any outside work anymore... sorry.
Hi, great video! Just want to know if any aftermarket proximty sensor would work? Also, do you have any instructions on how to install a pin switch under the hood and connect it to the factory alarm?
I would imagine any proxy sensor would do the job, the wiring colors may be different though. I'll have to look into the hood pin switch, I have one installed for an under hood light (have a video on that as well) Wiring it to the alarm may be possible, I'll let you know if I figure something out. Thanks for watching!
sweet video. one question where did you place the motion sensor? will it still work underneth the panels or do you have to leave it out in open?
Hi Bro, thanks for the informative video, I've understood most of it as a newbie to electronics. I just wanted to run something by you.
1. Could I use a fuse tap pigtail to tap into a constant Power source at the fuse box then add an additional fuse for the new circuit (the sensor)?
2. Could I do the same as above for the ignition power, except that I connect the fuse tap pigtail to the cigarette lighter fuse?
Thanks in advance
You sure can, I always hard wire everything and forget to think about easier ways to hook things up. I have a video coming out this morning that uses fuse taps, just to show how easy things can be. Thanks for watching Kriben!
Okay thanks for that, Also do I not need to worry about the difference in amperage between the two circuits (the one I'm tapping into and the sensor circuit) will the 30-40A relay prevent any fuses being blown?
Thanks again bud :)
The relay wont prevent any fuses from blowing, but as long as you have everything wired correctly you wont have to worry about blowing fuses, this setup has a very low power draw. The relay is just there to act as a middle man so to speak, it tells the new sensor setup when the vehicle is running so the sensor doesn't keep going off while you're driving. I hope that makes sense.
The functionality of the relay does makes sense. How many Amps is this motion sensor rated at? Amazon doesn't list it
I can't say 100% what the draw is, but I would say it would be less than 2amps. More likely around 1 or less because it just sends a signal to your OEM alarm and your vehicle takes care of the rest.
Well explained I take it it's the same for tilt sensor on any car
So, I am now looking into these motion sensor alarms for my '16 JKUR as I just had my second break in last night through my soft top where the thief crawled all through my Jeep searching all my molle bags, under seat, console, and glove box.
Will the position you used still be adequate to get my rear seats as well? Im not worried about the tailgate compartment as I dont have anything back there but a 35" spare tire. I have the BarTact seat covers and use pouches to hold most of my recovery gear and other miscilaneous tools. Just something enough as a deterent or to wake me up and scare off the would be theif would be nice.
I can't say 100% as you have a 4dr and I did this on a 2, but I'm pretty sure. I tested mine and it will go off if you reach into the back seat. It doesn't do much for all the way in the rear, but if you're anywhere in the Jeep long enough and moving around it will go off. I can mess around all the way in the back for a few seconds before it will go off, but it seems the closer you are to the sensor the faster it will pick up your motion. I hope that makes sense. It works even better with a soft-top because you mess with any part of the top and it moves in a bunch of spots and goes off much easier.
Thank you for the fast response. I may play with a could locations and see which one works the best for me. Really appreciate the video, very helpful to get an idea for what it will take me to install one.
i had a jeep once and was rifled in my driveway. so i cut outthe bottom of a large duffle out and waited for him. It turned out to be a 19 year old girl in a wife beater and almost just panties, but I had stuffed the business end of mr thunder maker in her mouth and threatened to bark fire. end of problem
Excellent video! I keep my recovery gear in the back of my 2dr with a soft top and will love to have the proximity sensor linked to the factory system. Now that you have had it for a while, any issues or updates?
Still working great! Only issue I have discovered is that it does not play nice with the remote start system I installed. The remote start works off of the OEM key fob by hitting lock 3 times, then it starts the Jeep. When using this it seems to make the proximity sensor think someone is stealing the Jeep or something. If I try and remote start while the proximity sensor is on, the alarm goes off and the Jeep starts. I don't think this would be an issue though if I had a factory remote starter. Thank you for watching!
Any thing different to be aware of on a 2020 jl rubicon?
Great video 👍
Thank you for the videos! Made my hard top dolly/cart last week (slightly modified-but of all the plans and how to's out there, I used yours-THANK YOU!!).
I was looking at the motion sensors you installed on your JK on eBay, and found shock sensors as well... What are your thoughts on shock vs motion? Also, the shock sensor appeared to be from the same company and looks to use the same harness as your motion sensor... Do you think install would be the same??
Sorry it got long winded! Thanks for sharing all the videos!
Thank you for watching the videos! I'm glad they could help you out. As for the shock sensor, yep... same install and same harness. You can actually use both at the same time, but this will make the system very, very sensitive. My thoughts on one vs the other... if you are suspect that someone might get in the Jeep, either would work well, if you think someone might just reach inside, then the proximity. I think more people would be wise to the shock sensor in the way of being really gentle if they get in the rig, but if you have a motion sensor they can't really get around that. Either or both are good additions to the OE setup. Thanks again!
For jku owners, could you add a second sensor under the rear seat for a more complete cover?
I don't see why not. It would just take a little extra time to adjust the sensors. Thanks for watching!
can I use two sensors (one in the front to protect the battery) and one in the cabin?
I don't see why not, you would just have to do a LOT of sensitivity adjusting. Thanks for watching!
I have a problem that I can't figure out and hopefully you can. My gate ajar light stays on regardless of the toggle switch being off/on and the sensor won't trigger.
My connections are followed:
RED+ from battery into toggle switch, red wire out toggle into relay pin #30
Purple/Orange gate wire to Blue wire from module
Pink/White Ignition wire into relay pin #86
Red wire from module into relay #87a
Black wire from module T connected to ground of Jeep and relay #85
Thanks for your help and keep up the great videos
All off the connections you listed are correct. It sounds like your gate wire is touching a ground somewhere. You may want to check all connections made to the gate wire and make sure they are well insulated.
Have you had a chance to check everything over, if so any luck?
Rocky X TV No I haven't. I plan on doing it tomorrow. I'll give you a update tho. Thx Again
Great video man !. couple questions.. 1. the pink 'switched wire' is a wire with power source that comes on only when the key switch is on? i wasnt sure what you meant........and 2. when running the constant 12v red wire did you connect two wires to the mini switch? one prong from battery and the other prong to the red 12v constant to the relay? thank you for your response and time!
You got it all correct! Thanks for watching, and if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. Thanks again!
How did you adjust the sensor ? I tried rotating the rubber ‘adjust knob’ but doesn’t seem to do anything .
You have to remove the rubber, those are just plugs. There are adjustment screws under those plugs.
Does the oem alarm not have a triggered while armed wire where we can tap our 12v ignition/trigger source instead of going to 12v ignition? So we would hook up 12v con. Same but the out put to the output to the on while triggered not NC pin?
Hello, awesome video. I found all but one wire. In the video it stated the gate color wire for your 2015 was purple with orange. Do you know if it is the same for a 2016 joy? I think I got the right wire but when I tested the wire to the ground, I get no hate light turned on. Thanks
I'm not sure what the wire color code would be if they changed it. I'll take a look around and let you know if I find anything. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the quick reply. Found the wire. Same color as 2015. Just hidden behind other wires. Tested line and light came on for the gate. Ran into another issue. Connected wires to relay and system work BUT when I turned on the by-pass switch on from the 12volt (constant) line, it put the Jeep into on/run position. Very odd. Don't know if having an auto starter effect it or not.
Now that is a new one for me... I've never heard of this issue before. Do you have factory remote start?
Factory alarm with after remote starter. No aftermarket alarm installed. Thanks for all your help. Just very odd. Might be a stupid question. 1. Am I supposed to turn the switch on? 2. On the device, when I lock/arm the system, should the device light (green/red) be on?
The switch should be on when you want the newly added sensor on and off when you don't. I honestly don't remember what lights or colors came on the sensor. I also have an aftermarket remote start (MPC) but no issues there.
whoa! Are you in Muddy Buddys? If so will you be at Jeep Jam this year?
Unfortunately I am no longer affiliated with them. Thanks for watching though!
Good video. Thank you.
Is there a way I can disconnect the horn during the install and testing so I don't irritate my neighbors with my horn going off haha? Btw, great video! I just bought myself some tube doors and and am looking forward to doing this install due to everything being open. Thank you!
The only thing I can think of is to unplug your horn under the hood. Just remember there are 2 of them. Thanks for watching and sorry I didn't have a better answer for you.
Ok got it thank you!
I did this same mod to my 4runner. Sensor seems to work. When I closed my door I stick my hand inside and I see the red light turn on. However the alarm won’t turn on. So I can arm the car. As soon as I unplug the sensor, I am able to arm the vehicle. 😕
If you were going to use the warning signal(green wire) where would you tap it into?
Very informative for sure
Nice video!
Based on your experimenting with the sensitivity, can you make the detection field large enough to protect the rims if someone was attempting to get them off?
You said you would not want it to go off if someone just walks by in a normal setting. However, depending on the time/location it would be good to be able to warn people off who were skulking around at 3am in your driveway looking to steal your rims.
I also wonder if you could manually disengage the proximity sensor (with the switch you installed if you had the sensitivity set that high for special situations), where you lock the doors and engage the factory alarm with the fob?
Do you get gate open signals when you step into the car before ignition is on?
Before the ignition is on yes. This is also another use for the micro switch, you can mount it in a hidden location that is also easy to get to and you can simply flip the switch if the gate indicator is an issue. Thanks for watching!
Rocky X TV Thanks that makes things clear, thats indeed a good thing to install the switch so you can turn it on when you want. Nice video and good explanation.
Will the alarm go off if you lock the doors while driving
It will not. This is because the relay that controls the motion sensor is off when the key is on. If it weren't wired correctly, I guess it could go off.
Thanks for watching!
Can you add the motion/ shock sensor to the factory KEYLESS entry?
You just need to do a simple test to see if this will work for your Jeep. You'll need the doors on.
- Roll down your windows
- Lock the Jeep using your key fob
- Wait about 15 seconds
- Reach inside and open the door from the inside
- If your horn starts honking, then yes this will work for you.
I hope that answers your question.
Thanks for watching!
@@RockyXTV it did.I have a Chrysler 300c but all these rip off shops keep saying I have to get an aftermarket alarm.I live in The Bronx
@@missayawk That test means you have at least a basic "anti-theft" from the factory. There are differences between OEM anti-theft and an alarm, but you have all you need for this setup.
I would have no idea on how to guide you on doing this install on a 300 unfortunately. Maybe there is a trunk wire you can substitute for the "gate" wire I mention in the video?
If you are able to use the info in the video to make something work for your 300 be sure to let me know, I'm really interested if this will work.
Damn good install
Thanks!
@Rocky X TV if you wanted the First Stage Chirp to work, would it also be attached to the gate Purple Wire? Would like to set up the first stage to trigger the chirp and second stage for the alarm as I have no doors or windows on the jeep. If you could reply that would be awesome. Thanks
Cool. Can you show how to adjust the proximity sensor box. Like the buttons on it?
If I have to take the console back apart for some reason I'll be sure to video the adjustments. All you have to do is remove the little black plug (they look like buttons) and you will see 2 adjustment screws. You just have to mess with them, at least that's what I did. Thanks for watching!
Rocky X TV ok cool thanks. Yea I see that there is two dials. Do you know which dial does what?
Honestly is has been so long that I forgot...
Rocky X TV no problem. Sweet jeep.
Thanks!
So if you only have keyless entry is there a factory or aftermarket alarm that just plugs in like the Fortin remote start or do you HAVE to go aftermarket all the way?
I'm not 100% sure about anything that is "plug and play", but you may have a partial oem alarm if you have keyless entry. Roll a window down then hit lock on your key fob. Wait at least 15 seconds then reach in from the outside and open the door using the inside handle. See if an alarm goes off.
How do you wire the green wire the chirp wire if you want to warn people away ?
Where did you place the sensor its self?
Can it be seen from back seat?
Please send pic of sensor location.
Also can you link two sensors one for front of cabin and second for tailgate?
Would this also work with a JL? Any changes or modifications to make it work?
Hi .. do u put a fuse on the Constant 12v ..?
It is not necessary, but recommended. A 5 amp fuse would be fine, I didn't realize I forgot that in the video. Thanks for watching!
Bc as an installer .. u must fuse everything..I like all ur videos
I tend to forget mentioning fuses sometimes as I fabricated my own secondary relay/distribution/fuse box that keeps all aftermarket accessories separate from the factory system. This box is pre wired and fused for a ton of aftermarket stuff so I just plug into it and there's already a fuse and relay there. Thanks again!
If you found a way to hide this in the soundbar it'd work well for the cargo area
Can i put the dual zone motion sensor 508d in a chevy cruze ?
I can't say for sure as I'm not familiar with that vehicle, but you can always try. Thanks for watching!
I think the warn output is one of the coolest features. Unfortunately no warn input on OEM's. My question is, how the hell does the exterior proximity work when it's buried in interior plastics? Or the interior for that matter?
It uses radio waves (microwaves) that are able to penetrate plastics, carpets etc but not anything metallic
@@darrellcoutinho805 -- So sort of like sonar. Yeah, I see now. I suppose metal would absorb any electromagnetic radiation.
@@lJUSTwanaCOMMENT yes, in a way. All these types of sensors use the doppler effect to sense changes in proximity. When set up correctly, these microwave sensors are excellent 👍🏽
hello willy, greetings from ghana and thats an amazing video you have there. I have a few questions.1, can I install this in a car with no factory alarm system and just connect it to a siren or the car horn.2, Is there a time delay between which the device starts to work when turned on.3, From your video I am quite confused how firstly u activate the device and activate your factory car alarm as well, what turns what on between the car alarm and device. Please help, just got robbed, I need to fix one asap.
You could add this sensor to just the horn or a siren, but it would require more wiring and another relay. There is a 15 second delay between the time you "arm" the system and when it actually starts working. As for activating, I'm not sure I follow, You just press the lock button on the factory key which "arms" the system which in turn activates the factory alarm and added motion sensor. I hope this information makes sense, thanks for watching!
Thanks for they reply. I want to get the motion sensor and a siren for my car ( toyota corolla 2013) but my main issue is how to turn the motion sensor off when it is armed and I am outside the car as my car didnt come with a factory installed alarm.
I see what you mean now. Unfortunately you would need to install some form of alarm system otherwise you would just have the motion sensor wired to a switch and you would have no delay before you get out of your car it goes off. It would also only go off once because the sensor only sends a single pulse signal. You would have much better luck looking into some of the Viper alarm systems because some of them have a spot where you can just plug in the motion sensor, no extra wiring required. It looks like using just the motion sensor and a siren alone will not work out very well in your case, but some of the Viper alarm systems are pretty affordable, and I believe some may come with the motion or a shock sensor. I wish you the best of luck and I'm sorry to hear about your break-in.
Great Willy, I just wanted to be smart about this but was loosing a lot of sleep. I was considering having only the Viper 305 which comes pre installed with a shock sensor but no motion sensor but issue is i dont want a break in before my alarm goes off. Is there any complete alarm that comes with a shock and motion sensor pre installed, if not what will you recommend. That i get the motion sensor which plugs easily into the viper 305 and both will work fine. Appreciate your concern and time willy.
If you are talking about the Viper 350 alarm system, yes you can get the Direct Install Essentials 508d motion sensor and it will plug directly into the system. This setup would give you the built in "shock sensor" of the Viper 350, this is if someone bumps you car or bangs on it (you can set the sensitivity) With the 508d added it would also detect motion in or around the car depending on how sensitive you set it as well.
Any idea which wire to tap in to on a 2020 JL?
I have s question. I have noticed my prox sensor will randomly set off the alarm. Ideas? My doors are on. Windows closed.
I've had this happen if something passed over the top of the Jeep. Like an opening garage door or parking under a tree and the branches would move. It would also sometimes go off when the soft top was on and was windy.
Where do I attach the switch to disable it ? Witch wires?
On the red constant power wire for the relay, thanks for watching!
How about if I have the motion sensor hooked up with the viper alarm.
If you have a Viper system you should have a spot where the sensor can just plug right in. This proximity sensor works with a bunch of systems and is plug and play with most Viper setups.
I know but for the toggle switch to turn it on and off , do I have to cut the red wire and then attach one side of the red wire to the switch then the other half to the switch? Like I have it setup up with s viper alarm ?
If you have it plugged into a viper system, not the OEM alarm like in the video, you would need to cut the RED wire in the little 4 pin harness (red,black,green,blue) for the sensor. That is the power wire for the sensor. Attach one end of the cut wire to your switch and the other end of the cut wire to the other side of your switch. You may have to extent these wires to put the switch in a location of your choosing. When you turn this switch off it cuts power to the sensor only and not the rest of your alarm system. I hope that makes sense.
how do you make it work with a remote start type of stock alarm? any modification of wiring? i have an odyssey and my window got broken into.
Hey Rocky , i just want to say thank you or the content you provide! I have some questions on this install.
When the alarm is on and it gets set off does it eventually shut off after there is no movement? Or will it keep honking until the jeep unlock key is pressed?
Also would there be a problem if the dome light is turned on when the alarm system is activated(jeep is off)? Would this damage anything? I believe if the Jeep is on then it wouldn't damage anything since there won't be any power to the relay, but not sure when its off
Last but not least, you said that if im going to get into my jeep and i unlock it , once in , it wont beep, but the dome lights will go on and The dash will say gate ajar. Doesnt really bother me, but to avoid this you would have to turn the switch off correct? Bascially disabling the system
Thank you!
The alarm will go off for I believe 15 minutes, or until the Jeep senses the battery is getting low. It will then shut itself off to keep from draining the battery, Smart Jeep LOL! If the alarm went off and you didn't hear it, then it shut itself off, when you return to your Jeep and press unlock the horn will honk 3 times really fast to let you know the alarm went off while you were away. I hope that part makes sense... No worries with the dome light. You are correct about the switch, it just disables the motion sensor. Thanks for watching and for reaching out!
Hi bro it's me again, I've purchased everything I need for the install, just one question...the Directed Install 508d Motion Sensor has two rubber adjustment knob covers, do I remove them? is there a screw underneath each? Also since we aren't using the chirp feature I will only have to adjust the outer beam (right knob)? Thanks again
There are two adjustment screws under those plugs, one for each zone. You can either leave them where they are set if by chance they work out for your vehicle/application, or you may have to fine tune them so the system won't be overly sensitive. I had mine set way to sensitive at first and it would go off if someone walked withing a few feet of my Jeep. That was a little too much.
The wire I'm using is the door pin on a sedan vehicle, the problem is that this wire also runs my DOME light, the sensor worked for a couple days until I used my DOME light manually, then it stopped working. I tested the door trigger wire and there is a voltage change when the DOME light is toggled on/off. I then tested the output of the sensor trigger wire (blue) when the sensor is triggered, the reading is 0.83 on the multimeter BUT it is not triggering the alarm at all anymore. Any thoughts on what you think this could be? Thanks
We'll get it figured out. I think you just have it hooked to a positive instead of a negative.
Can you add this to a 2022 Jeep Gladiator factory alarm?
Do you have knowledge of if this would work in a 2009 JKUx ?
Thank you
Is there a way to add a Tazer to the driver side seat that gives the thief a tingle in their dingle?
I am thinking of hooking up a halon or CO2 dump into the engine air intake that will deprive the I.C.E. of oxygen while the alarm is on, That way eventually if they disable the alarm, the engine will not start until the air intake has dissapated the Halon or CO2!
Which should take 10 to 20 minutes.
That or an alarm activated Fart In A Can to the interior cab with auto door lock on.
This will lead to enough frustration that they will give up, throw up, Or they will call 911 and turn themselves into law enforcement voluntarily!
What do you think of the three options, Tazer to the Deriere, Engine Air Intake Oxygen Deprivation, or Fart In A Can to interior?
Or all three?
The above comment is NOT mine, my husband borrowed my tablet and did some creative writing!
I apologize, he is in the dog house and it will Not happen again!
How do you setup the proximity chirp first then alarm ?
I wasn't able to find a good reliable way to set the first "warning" stage in conjunction with the OEM alarm. Sorry, but thanks for watching!
Is this the same if you add to a Viper 5706v?
The Viper system should have a connection port that you can just plug the proxy sensor directly into, I could be wrong though. I'm not 100% familiar with that system. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a better answer, thanks for watching!
Rocky X TV thank you
Does this work on a JL
I want to sleep in the car occasionally. Can I just have the outside protected?
Unfortunately no, this works for inside and out. Thanks for watching though!
Next time, dry erase board to show the wiring. Lol.
Yeah, I've been meaning to get a huge white board for the wall.
Rocky X TV I actually love to wire vehicles, but for some the second you add a relay into the mix they get brain freeze. Lol
Hey man, I could really use your help. I have one question for you. Hopefully you see my comment, thanks
I'd be happy to help if I can. What's your question?
@@RockyXTV @Rocky X TV thank God! Alright dude, so it's a lengthy one, because it requires some context.. I'm sure you understand why... Alright, so I have a 2017 silverado 1500 and I'm installing the 508d module. I've got everything I need, I've got all wires run etc.. the one thing thats been kicking my ass, I finding the trigger wire for the driver door, or any door. I've probed around in the plugs of door with a multimeter over and over again. While arming the system, while opening the door or closing the latch so it thinks it's closed.. so I found one 12v source in "A" plug behind the door panel, on the frame of door. Beside it are two other wires that get a 5v signal which I found out are the lock and unlock control wires. I cannot find a the wire to trigger the alarm.. so the trigger wire from the module sends a 5ma signal, what should I be looking for as far as voltage and maybe, in what location?? One other thing to add, when the door panels are OFF and I close the door and start the truck, it is reading that the doors are ajar. So maybe I need to plug the panel in and do some testing from there. Haven't tried that idea yet, as I'm always struggling to get time to work on it without my wife getting pissed off
And I did take the trigger signal wire from the module and try it in a few different places, but it never set off the alarm. And yessir, the module is working. I hooked it up to some LEDS lights and did some tests with the zone adjustment. Thanks for your time and consideration brother
@@nathanbearden8685 Its been a while since I've installed one of these or watched the video. If I remember correctly the trigger for the module is a ground trigger. Are you trying to use a positive trigger on the module? I could be misunderstanding, if so I'm sorry.
@@RockyXTV if you get time, Itd be awesome to get on a phone call with you so I could tell what I have going on. There are ZERO installation instructions, apart from the legend/wire diagram for the module. It's alot to explain lol. Thanks in advance dude
This might also be an excellent way to remind a person that they have left a child or dog in the car.
Never thought of that! This would work great for that, thanks for sharing the idea!
Can i adjust sensitivity to make it sound when touched or someone's near my jeep?
