Background:
Installed a Viper 5901 remote starter / alarm; I used an Expresskit DBALL, which I flashed for our vehicles. The DBALL hooks into the CAN-BUS and in turn picks up all the 'unlock, lock, arm, disarm, light flash, e-brake status, door triggers, hood / trunk trigger, tach status, foot brake status' as well as allowing the aftermarket alarm key fob to arm and disarm the factory alarm, and the factory key fob to arm and disarm the aftermarket alarm. It does all this through 12+, ground, and 2 CAN-BUS wires. Works awesome, yay..

Problem:
The aftermarket key fob will lock and arm the factory alarm, however, when you hit unlock, it will unlock but not disarm the factory alarm, so as soon as you click unlock, it'll unlock the doors and cause the factory alarm to immediately go off. It's supposed to disarm the factory alarm, I don't know why it doesn't considering everything else works perfect, and it's obviously integrated fine because the Viper remote will arm the factory alarm, and the Viper alarm will alert me when the car is locked / unlocked using the factory remote.

Reason for posting:
I've looked flippin' everywhere online for the factory disarm wire. Everything says the factory alarm will disarm with unlock, well that's great.. but it's not.

I looked online for the wire location for door unlock, every wiring diagram I've come across all say the factory unlock wire (which should also disarm the factory alarm) is red / brown in a tan connector behind the driver side kick panel. I've checked through all the wires, there is not 1 single red / brown wire in ANY of the connectors. All the other wires shown in online diagrams for the driver kick panel are correct (horn, ebrake, etc.).

I really would like an OEM alarm wire diagram, or actual location of a factory disarm wire, or an accurate location / color of the unlock w/ disarm wire.

Someone please heeeeeeelp me.

Try programming the unlock for double pulse. Im surprised the dball doesnt take care of it. I've had alot of luck with the audiovox flcan.

I tried double pulse, and I tried "disarm BEFORE unlock" with no luck, I called directed and they submitted a ticket with their programmers and said they'd call back but never did, I guess I'll try calling them tomorrow. Other thing, I had to do a immobilizer bypass, I thought the DBALL was supposed to do that through canbus and not need an ignition ring, do you know?

Yea man vag cars still need it since I believe the way the keys are set up its a rolling code. If they were able to have a full bypass they wouldve done it already it. I guess audi/vw designed their immobilizer systems way too well.

I have a buddy with a directechs account and ill see what it says. I'm almost positive its a wire in the door (yay) through a resistor.
