Hi learned people

just wondering how i would go about programming a Viper remote?? I can't find the booklet telling me how to do it...

i've google'd a bit, and all i get is

-ignition on

-press button (the hidden one usually under dash somewhere) once, release

-press and hold

-press 'lock' button on remote

-let go

and then apparently the remote should now start talking to the car again.... but not for me :banana:

the only other thing i was told was unplug the alarm module, give it a bit and then plug back in, but i don't know how to take apart the area under the steering column yet...

is there something i'm missing with reprogramming the remote?? I've had a couple people do it with Bitwriters but i've been told i can do the same without a bitwriter, it's just that the press/release/press and hold never seems to work for me

cheers,

daniel

a little side note...

how do i remove all the plastic parts under/around the steering wheel?? trying to get to my alarm module...

i've taken out all the screws from my steering column surround. Taken out 1 screw to the left (under the TCS OFF switch)

I've also taken out the 2 screws holding up the bonnet release latch.... but i can't take the f*cker apart! am i missing more screws, or does the steering column plastic have to come away completely (the 2 halves?)??

please help asap

cheers,

daniel

cheers for the offer Chris :D i got it sorted, but i'll prob grab that manual anyway :)

For some reason the programming steps outline above don't work, but unhooking the alarm module AND taking the battery out of the remote at the same time, did work!

So i un-hooked the alarm module (the big wide white plug in the back and the smaller one next to it) and left all the little ones attached to the sides.

Then took the battery out of my remote.

Let the car sit for a bit, then plugged module back in, and put the battery back in the remote. THEN i did the procedure above.

Valet button press once, release, press again and HOLD. Press 'arm' on the remote and BINGO!! It locked!! If only it did that WITHOUT having to unhook the alarm module, it would be even better :D

And for some unknown reason, it fixed my 'remote start' issues too. Wouldn't remote start when cold, was told to change the settings from 'voltmetre' to 'tachometre' or something like that, i didn't know how to change that without a bitwriter, but it's working now.

Chris, is the 'manual' different to the 'owners guide'. I found that, but doesn't have any real programming instructions in there....

do hope this helps others with similar issues after a flat battery

cheers,

daniel

sorry to trawl this up, but i'm having some issues programming a remote also... as above i have been trying the door open, ign on, press release and so on.. but i seem to have an on/off toggle switch rather than a push button switch? model #: EZSDE1478

could this be why i dont anything when i try the procedure? or is there another 'valet' switch somewhere?

or do i have the same issue as Daniel above?

edit: i just found this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ca...am+viper+remote, so i will try looking harder for the valet button.. :P

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
