hi Everyone,

Wifey lost her keys with the remote to the Viper 5002 alarm installed , just wondering Once i get a replacement viper remote, can the frequencies be changed so that whoever found old remote will not be able to disable the car alarm?

Thanks in advance

no, the alarm is code hopping model, the code changes everytime you push the button,and these remotes cost a bucket load to replace, $200+ in most cases

Code Hopping is used to "encrypt" the signals transmitted by Viper remote controls. The codes randomly change each time you arm or disarm your alarm following a complex algorithm, so that the codes never repeat. Many Viper systems include an advanced Clone-Safe Code Hopping format that delivers a total of more than 18 Quintillion Codes - that's 18 followed by 18 zeros! Code Hopping provides you with better security and peace of mind, knowing that only your remote controlled transmitter can operate the system. By the way, code grabbers can work on garage doors too, and have likely been used by criminals to gain entry to the home that way. You may want to think about using a Code Hopping receiver on your garage door, so that you can work it with your keychain transmitter.(You'll probably get better range too!)

how about a shitty piranha car alarm? I just bought a cheap car, it came with no alarm remote, or mention of alarm. but there's a piranha unit in the engine bay that looks to be wired up.

can i somehow get a remote to check if this alarm works? or is that a mission not worth the effort?

once you get the new remote tuned in you shouldn't have a problem

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
