It can happen. Usually in cold weather.
It's happened to me three times this week. It's been 60-70 degrees. Taking it back on Saturday.

Did you say the starter turns the motor over, but the engine doesn't fire? Or is it like the scenario that Clemente described?
If it's what I think you described, it could be the way they wired it up and maybe even a bad relay. If it's cranking and not starting, it may be engaging your starter solenoid, but not providing power to your other vital electronics to start your motor. It could be a bad relay, or it could be a bad alarm module (if it has internal relays). Bringing it back to the shop is the best thing to do Nelson. You paid for the install, so those guys can figure it out.

Oh, I am Tim, I spoke to them on Monday and this morning about it. I made the appointment for this Saturday. They said it sounds like the by-pass needs to be reprogrammed. After the obscene amount of money I paid for this install, it better be 100% perfect. I'll go back 20 times if I have to. LoL
The issue is the starter turns the motor over, but the engine doesn't fire. I'd say its happened every about a 1/3 of the time I've used my car this week.

That's kind of odd that they're blaming it on the bypass. I guess it's possible. If the bypass wasn't working though, why is it cranking? If I had to go back 20 times, I sure as shit would be demanding a refund.

like tim said I dont think is the bypass i have had the same programmable bypass on on both my alarms the 5901 being the latest and never had issues with it. The starter cranks but the motor doesnt turn over with the viper and it stayes cranking so i think is a relay issues not engaging properly

Here's an update on my 5901 issues. The place checked everything, couldn't replicate the problem (LOL).
So they ended up reprogramming the bypass and resetting the system. He said if it happens again they'll replace the brain. So far no issues between yesterday and today. Let's see what happens.

One good thing of the 5901 everything is in one box so its a easy swap once everything is wired up

It's actually like that with pretty much all DEI products.

One more update, they replaced the unit at 10:30am today, by 7:00 pm it did the same thing. It sounds like a problem with the by-pass and immobilizer to me. it actually happened in front of their eyes this morning so they believed me. I'll be going back again next Saturday. They offered me $100 back due to the inconvenience. I would rather have an alarm that works. Fuck.

At least you got it resolved. Thanks for the update. It'll let others know should they encounter the same issue.
