Installing Viper 5901 in 98' Expedition


Recommended Posts

Working at Best Buy does have it's benefits. I'm getting a Viper 5901 this weekend for $183...can't beat that.

Anyways, I'm going to be installing it in my 1998 Ford Expedition. I was wondering what kind of bypass unit (if I even need one) I will need to purchase, and where to purchase it from. The truck has remote lock/unlock,and I'm pretty sure it has some worthless factory alarm.

I also wanted to get the glass-sensor, motion-sensor, lean-sensor(whatever it's called), and extra speakers/horns for it. Once again, I'm gonna need to know which ones I need, and where to purchase them.

Only tool I need that I don't have, is a soldering iron.

I'm tryin to get my build up and going, but I can't do it until I get this alarm in.

Thanks for the help, fellas

They don't sell all the extra shit. If they did, I would definitely get it there.

im an installer at bestbuy, you can get the bypass there, most likely will use an audiovox flash-it, and you can get the proximity sensor there, and all the other sensors you can order online from www.bestbuy.com or have an oms order made so you can use your discount I believe

I know for a fact you can get the tilt sensor, proximity sensor, and extra peizo alarms through Best Buy. We keep them in stock in our bay. If you would like me to I can get you the sku's tomorrow when i get back to work. Like n8ball said I hope you realize what your getting into. You can mess up a lot with a remote start if installed improperly, and if the alarm is installed improperly it is worthless. As an employee you get a good discount on services and if you want to learn I'm sure you can have the installer schedule you on a day that he has time to show you how it works. I payed for my 5901 to be installed. I understand it but don't think I could do it correctly by myself.

If you can create an oms for a product you can get your discount on it and I'm about 85% sure a 98 ford doesn't need a bypass. TO make sure add the remote start widget on your etk page.
