How To Program Viper Remote?

[SS8_Gohan]

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

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

what alarm model? (PM me with an email addy and I'll flick you a manual for it.)

cheers for the offer Chris 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

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..
