Viper Alarm drivin me nuts?!?!

[grizzy225]

I have the 791XV with the i478 remote. Ran out of batteries today.. i swapped em out and it loads up like normal with the music and all BUT... when i press lock or unlock or any button for that matter it beeps like its out of range.

Is there something i have to do special? Anyone have this happen to them before?

Thanks

Did you read the manual?
On my Compustar every time I change the battery I have to reprogram the remote.
The way its done is by turning the ignition key from ACC to ON 5 times within 10 seconds then pressing button #1 on the remote.
If you don't have the manual search for it on google, I'm sure someone has it as a pdf file or go on viper's website.

Yeah i went on viper and read through the manual, it doesnt make any sense, its like 50 pages long. I got it right off the viper site http://www.directeddealers.com/manua...564V_07-05.pdf Maybe if someone gets bored they can look. I think i been trying to figure it out so long my brains fried

i had the same problem with my remotes, turns out solder points on the connectors that connect the antenna circuit board to the main circuit board broke. i just resoldered the the connector back on the circuit board and it came back to life. its gonna be a little tricky soldering such small components though.

you'll have to reprogram your remote to the alarm. Take it back to your installer, he'll know what to do

ended up having to buy a new remote and had it reprogrammed. fixed though
