I have the base SE model and I don't think the factory hood pin switch is installed. If I open the hood, no warnings on the cluster come on.
At this point I have 3 options;
1. wait for Viper to release some type of update that will bypass the factory hood pin.(which I dont think is going to happen)
2. Have the hoodpin enabled by the dealer (I tried this at my local dealer, and they said there is no option for this)
3. Have the remote start removed (which looks like the likely option)
Ill try your suggestion candurin, but when I try to remote start the car now with the hood closed, the dash lights flicker, and thats it.
Thanks again.
