Hi,

I'm having problems with my alarm. It doesn't register my key presses, mainly disarm. I have to press it many times before it will disarm. I've tried resetting it and reprogramming the remote. That hasn't helped. Using the valet switch to disarm it still works. Anyone on this forum in Victoria who can service these alarms? Getting very annoying when I have to stand at my car pressing the remote over and over again.

Hey. its a viper what else can I say. They are only useful as sinkers when you go fishing! Chuck it out and get e real car security product.

thats a bold comment, directed electronics make some of the best products on the market !!!! if you have the talent to wire them up right ?, failure rates are extremeley low which is why they have a lifetime warranty on most (not batteries ) parts , 99% of the time bad wiring job or remote thru a washing machine is the issue.

take it back to the place that installed it ??? they would sort it out quickly

first guess, no antenna connection or its been cut/taped on steel after someone worked on the car ,which = no range on remote, second, lost programming by fiddling around with a few things with the key on , is it a new remote??? changed the remote or car battery lately, remote battery is it in the right way?

a newer viper won't unlock if it see's mutiple alarms in close proximity being armed or disarmed. the upper models will vibrate or chirp the transmitter when that happens(anti code scanning protection)

sometimes the on off button gets mashed inside by you pushing on it too hard or crap in your pockets, if it can be unscrewed

have a look at it on the inside , the little pin behind the button , mushroomed ??? or missing ??

does it work by pushing the little rubber button with the case off? if so buy a new case or remote

if you have two remotes try the other one??

if not does it have any error code beeps or flashes ?

might be a scrambled brain if you jump started the car ? but if a DEI Authorized pro installed it ?? DEI will swap the brain no fuss most of the time

Sounds to me that there are alot of things that could go wrong with a Vyper...Not to mention the countless emails over the past decade for the same type of problems, but don't worry Brant Alarms are still winning in the category for most unreliable car alarm.

I got someone on this forum to install it. I've tried a second remote so it's not a remote issue. I just need someone who works on alarms to have a look at it for me.

change the batteries onthe two way unit and make sure its set to user 1 on the remote. that is 90% of the issues with those. the otehr 10% has to do with antenna placement and install.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
