Lude Security - Honda Prelude Forum

BBYlude · 10-13-2007, 09:16 PM

So I'm all excited because I'm treating myself to a b-day gift and picked myself up a Viper 5900 from work, http://www.viper.com/Products/Produc...?ProductID=103. It's 1 mile range, 2-way w/ LCD remote, 4 aux channels, starter kill, and shock sensor. Now here's the fun stuff! I'm adding: hidden brain location, motion sensor, fuel pump cutoff, six piezo sirens (interior), two dei sirens (underhood), and one dei battery backup siren (underhood). NO ONE is stealing this car, lol, and if they want my system, they better want hearing damage with it

Here's my two questions:

One, I can't find any type of 'neutral safety switch' on the prelude. I've checked the shop manual and still no. I want to hook up the remote start, and no, i'm not going to chance it w/o a neutral safety switch. I don't think I'll be finding one of these installed from the factory, so who has figured out a way to make sure the remote start will only engage when it's in neutral? I'm thinking some sort of plunger switch setup on the shifter mechanism? I dunno yet.

Two, I'm looking to do a second starter kill via a lock button or similar. Who has done this and on what button? PM me if you don't want to advertise what button activates your starter wire.

there's no neutral safety switch on a manual tranny

I had all but conceded to there not being one... damn... Well, any ideas?

I'm gonna have her at work thursday installing everything. I'm gonna remove the center console before I leave my house, so I can watch how the shift mechanism works on my 40 minute drive. I'm hoping to figure out some way to install plunger contact switches (think hoodpin switch) on the shifter mechanism to let the alarm know when it's not in neutral.

I'm amazed that you're allowed to work on your own car at your work's bay. You can make your own sort of neutral switch, with a few switches from radio shack. My co-worker did that for his manual mustang. I'm too lazy to bother on my car.

^^^ OOOOH DO TELL!

well we're supposed to pay the discounted rate to work on our own cars, but seeing this is a new product as far as management is concerned (it's really the same as the Viper 791XV plus one mile range) the install supervisor whose cool like this said it'd be a training exercise

So to sum it up, I'm installing this on my car to help the customer. Aren't I a model installer?

@exodusfx

How did your friend make a swith with the neutral thing with remote start... Can you please shed some light on this... thanks in advance!!!!

I see many flaws in your alarm. Firstly, the shock sensor is stupidly useless. You car has to physically be moved buy something like an earth quake to pick that up. The breakage of glass is not going to set it off. I assume you haven't rerouted your hood latch cable, or else anyone one can take a knife to your driver side fender cover and cut it off. With that being said, they can open to hood and disconnect your battery. This will shut off all but one siren which has a backup. The backup siren can be found depending on where you hid it. (BTW, these things are useless too, IMO.) It may take a while, but if your far from your car, he has all the time. Also, the biggest mistake of them all: you don't have a backup battery module (DEI 520T)!! With out this, everything else you can do is useless. I hope you are using the motion/proximity sensor made by crutchfield (AU94T). All others are crap. I suggest you ditch those sensors and get:
Glass Breakage DEI 506T
Tilt DEI 507M
The glass breakage sensor explains itself. The Tilt sensor detects any movement in the x and y direction then goes off (ie. like you car getting towed).

Hope this helps and good luck.

P.S. If you installing auto-start, its a lot harder to do a stealth install. Trust me, it makes it a lot easier to steal your car.

You guys check out my thread "which alarm/remote start to use w/ lude" about DEI's new module to make remote start work on mannual transmission....

i purchase a cliifford matrix 50.5 which has pretty much the same features. adding as back up battery as well as window sensor.

you should try adding alpha lock for your rims and i added my personal favorite. Auto Taser to my lude to help protect it.

let me know how you like that alarm system when you hooked it up as mine is not installed yet.
