    Yes it does. Viper is made by Directed and it's all the same the only difference is branding.

    Also when you download the directed app it gives you the option to select the branding of the app which is interesting.

    damn indeed. At this rate, it'll be $150 by the time I decide to pull the trigger. :rofl:

    Good catch. Didn't even bother checking the other sellers. Does say "packaging slightly damaged" but is apparently new and unused

    Just ordered my DSM300 - should be here next week sometime. I already created an account on the app, now just have to patiently wait.

    Got my DSM300 today. Going through your write up and seeing what I have in the box, I had one question. You stated that I only needed the 4 pin white connector that goes to the dball2 and the grey wire that you extended and that is the ground wire - do you not need the 2 pin connector that appears to be power and ground?

    Awesome. I'm going to work on cleaning up the wiring harness tomorrow then hopefully install it sat.

    Fyi the dei1 account info does work to log into the installer web page.

    Not sure it'll be as easy with the Frontier. Doesn't look like it's listed as RSR so you'll likely need a separate remote start module.

    That's why I try to stick to simple and reasonable mods. Otherwise, I'd have long travel, glass fenders and 35's with new gears and likely be broke before year end. :thumbsup:

    See...that's what I get for not reading the details. Thankfully it had not shipped yet and was able to cancel he order.

    ok harness is all ready to go. Mine looks much longer than yours, but I can fix it when I go to install it all.

    It does kinda look like poo, but this is all the loom I had so I jimmy rigged it all together lol

    Funny... I was adamantly against the Frontier but the Woman gets what the Woman wants. Hers is also a 4x4 and is actually a very nice truck. The floor is a bit lower so easier to get in/out for her with less of a feet forward seating position. It is a much less refined engine/tranny combo and the interior is cheap. But, she loves it... and, she has a job and pays for it. So... there you go!
