hey i just got my zenesis alarm in the mail today and planning on installing it tomorrow.
ive searched and found bits and pieces of info that was helpful
but was wondering if someone can tell me everything i need to know about the install
and no im not doing it myself but want to be more knowledgeable about it thanks guys

manual tc by the way

 

What would you like to know?

 

about the bypassing
the key being chipped
and any other little problems that i can run into

 

i think I paid about $120 bucks, the only things I can think of right now is to make sure to hook up the alarm in a way that when it goes off the hazard lights will come on and not the low beam headlights. Not good if u have hid's, maybe to the high beams though.

Some shops might not want to take the chance to install the turbo timer/remote start part cuz it's manual. Print the alarm manual and explain them the part that explains that u can program the car to only start under certain configuration, if when u turn off the car it is not on that configuration the car won't start..

Just a heads up I still wouldn't recommend the remote start, bad bad past experience on my other car... TWICE.

Good luck man, you'll love it especially the combo key pad

 

thanks more info guys

 

Well i believe the Zenisis is made for remote starting. If that is the case you will park the car, put your foot on the brake, pull up the e-brake and then let your foot of the brake and press the remote start button twice. I know that was confusing but it makes sure that your car is in neutral every time before you can remote start it. The new viper 5701 works like this. And if you car alarm goes off or if it senses your door trigger then you will need to repeat the previous sequence.

The chip in the key is solved by purchasing a XK05 module that stores the chip information in a little box. It also ties to the stock security system in the vehicle, door triggers, locks and much more. So there is no need to put a spare key inside your car.

You should have no problems if the shop is willing to do the install. Many will guarantee their work for life.

Do you have any more questions I can help you out with?

 

so if i dont have that then i would need to keep a spare key in the car at all times to remote start it?

 

and on a normal install i thought the parking lights are what flashes?
if its my low beams theirs gonna be a problem

 

No dont worry about the parking lights. Usually its parking lights that flash. Its not a big deal changing them around, you just change the resistance value in the wire.

And yes the older modules would require a spare key put inside whats called a 556UW. This then has a wire that goes around the key cylinder. When you activate the remote start the wire sends a signal to the key cylinder and the car thinks the key is in the ignition.

 

does anyone know if this module will work ok with the tc without using a key
and is this all im going to need o be able to use all the features on this alarm

Call Code alarm and ask them. I use the DEI one mentioned above and have not have any problems with it.

 

ya the xk05 module like i said does not need a key in the vehicle.

 

there is a optional part to get if you want to auto unlock when you get near the car? if so then whats the part #?
cant seem to figure out how to set my knock knock sensor either.

 

i really cant help with this
