    Lightbulb DEI 5900 Viper Remote Start Alarm Install Question…

    My VIPER Remote Start Alarm (5900) was installed in my 2000 F150 Ford for about 3 years… I got rid of that and traded with my mom. She had a 1998 Toyota Camry LE V6. I'm trying to install it in this… But

    I've got some Questions about the DEI 5900 PDF I've Downloaded.

    Question's below.
    1) In the DEI Viper 5900 PDF I've DL'ed it says to put a Fuse inline on an Already Factory Fused wire within the H1 Primary Harness 12-pin connector… on the 12V constant power input.
    It Reads:

    (NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12" of the point you ovtain (+)12V. Do not use the 15A fuse in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.)

    Should I put ANOTHER Fuse before this, Adding another fuse before the factory DEI 15A fuse wouldn't protect the module, it would just allow more current to pass through till it burns it up… Is that not correct?

    2) Can I pull 12V power from different wires? Say I want to use the Above (H1) Red + Constant 12V wire and attach it to a 12V wire that is always 12V. (Car On or Off)
    Then the Heavy Gauge inline Connector key switch interface (DEI Relays with 10 or 12Gauge wires out from bottom and a ribbon connector with 7 wires out of it that goes to the alarm module itself.)
    Can I hookup those larger gauge wires that need constant 12V to a different source? Or should i Pull all 12V from the same wire?

    3) Is it Ideal to install the Alarm in the Normal Left side Kick panel area in the Camry… Or would it make more sense to install it behind the Glove box since all the computers/wires lead to that area anyways?

    I do have some Detailed BluePrints or Schematics of a 98 Toyota Camry, You can Look at what I'm talking about Here,

    the more fuses, the merrier. But more problems when troubleshooting.

    You should connect the high amp remote start wires to high amp wires, usually at the ignition switch directly or running at least 12 10 gauge wire or heavier gauge to the battery (of course fused again)

    In the 98 camry, everything doorlocks, etc can be gotten at the kick panel, and left of the steering wheel column

    BTW: I used to do dealer work for Toyota dealers and used to knock out 15 Toyota remote starts and alarms a day in 1998 era. Corollas and Camrys. Using dei products. 10 min install once you get the hang of it, max including mounting the siren through the clutchplate
