Does anyone know if this is compatible with a '96 Dodge Viper GTS? What is the ELM327 compatibility issue?

The ELM327 is a programmed microcontroller produced by ELM Electronics for translating the on-board diagnostics (OBD) interface found in most modern cars. The ELM327 command protocol is one of the most popular PC-to-OBD interface standards and is also implemented by other vendors. I'm using this in a 2002 ALTIMA NISSAN, with OB2 compatible.

Like any remote start system, this needs to be installed by a professional mobile electronics installer. Not a mechanic. Take it to a stereo/security shop. Let someone who does these day in day out do it. I sell and install Viper products, but have no problems installing anything else. The wire colors are different than Vipers, but it's the same dang thing. If an installer is too scared to touch a product like this, then they're not experienced enough to touch your car anyway.

I took the Viper module and the Smart Start system to a professional installer, they also had to install a bypass as well. I would find a local shop that deals with electronics that can answer the question as to what vehicles the system can be installed on.

Yes, I think it will Michael. Here are links to the supported Viper models of both remotes. It is most helpful to identify your Viper model number. It is located on the black box under your dash. Good luck. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_30172_Viper-7141V.html http://www.viper.com/car/remotes/product/7141v/viper-value-1-way-remote I hope that helps.

There is an annual fee and works with compatible viper systems. Also you may have trouble activating. They only allow authorized dealers to activate and they won't do it unless you buy from them which cost much much more. I got lucky and called dei and they activated for me but you may or may not get lucky. Just google viper smart start and look on the viper website and it tells you which units are comparable and how much the plans are. It's definitely worth it if you can get it activated. You even get roadside assistance which is awesome.

Generally, my understanding is that it will work with cars that are from 1996 and newer as the description indicates. I guess that does provide that Volvo is compliant to automotive standards.

Lucas does not list any compatibility issues. If you are experiencing leaks or steering problems that involve a lot of expense it is worth a try. Has worked in my vehicle for about 3 years so far

I was told by GM that that update will not work. You mus buy #22846887 from GM you will also get support from them.

I cannot answer with conviction. I do know it works well with 08 and up superduty with 6.4. You can call SCT directly and verify. Then make your purchase with amazon for a Betty price

hi this is randy I am karlas husband I was the one that purchased and installed the viper starter. not plug and play and the big problem is that it does not come with installation instructions I had to lokk all over the internet, I did find them. the viper is a very good unit, range on it is excellent. you have to have some electrical skills to install. I install it as I am a certified master auto tech. hope this helps. if you want the web site for install directions let me know'

I never got mine to work on anything for more than a couple of minutes much less connecting it to an early ODB Nissan like yours. But apparently depending on your model the computer itself has a diagnostic code reader system built in. I was able to find the procedure on ehow here http://www.ehow.com/how_7485652_read-1992-nissan-code.html Again depending on what you have you may be able to find a pdf of the Factory service manual too.

No additional parts needed, just as you stated here you just need to have an technician bypass your factory system. So that your new viper system will be compatible with your car's computer !

Chris I would strongly recommend you take your vehicle into a qualified Viper install shop. I purchased the Security and Remote starter and my mechanic tried numerous time to get the security system working without success. Had no problem with the remote start. In the end he sent my vehicle over to a custom audio shop and they resolved the problem and got everything up and running. My advice is to let the experts do the install . It will save you money and frustration in the long run. Regards Rick

You would need a DBALL, but I don't think you can get this connected through Viper without a professional install. I have this alarm installed on 2 of my vehicles, I love it!

You will most likely need an additional module or a "t-harness". The viper web site will tell you what you need for most vehicles.
