Not sure if this is the right place to look for help with this but I have a viper remote start that came with my truck and I acquired two spare remotes model number 7145v and I’m trying to pair it but the “Valet” button located on the PKALL box doesn’t seem to be working does anyone know what to do

Hey Reddit!

So I’ve had Best Buy install a Viper remote starter ver. 7616v that has the dinky one button push remote. I also had the bypass module installed.

So a few days back (less than a week of having it installed), I noticed when I tried to remote start my car it didn’t respond to me pushing the button. So after reading poor instructions, I re-trained my remote and now it remote starts.

Problem I’m having is remote start only works sometimes. I follow proper sequence (when parking, put in neutral, take foot off clutch, engage parking brake with foot on brake for 5 seconds. Lights will flash 5 times in fast succession. You can now remove keys and exit vehicle. After 8 seconds car locks and remote start is ready.

Now, when remote starting, usually first startup of this car is high idle revs. When remote starting now the car turns on for about 2-3 seconds and turns off locking itself. I sat in the car once trying it to see what LED’s I saw or lights and I noticed when trying to do it again, it starts, does the same thing and I see the car with lock flashing on the dash which I think is immobilizer?

I’m confused because Best Buy gives no instruction, there is no manual on the installation, and I’m left with a car that won’t remote start at all 9/10 times. There is a rare time where it will start, but I’ve noticed it’s after trying to get it to remote start 3-5 times. Usually when it’s warmed up by then which defeats the purpose.

Does anyone have any ideas of what to do? I’ve looked for the module they installed but I can’t find it. I think I’d have to remove my dash to do that…I’d rather not.

If there is no pedal sequence or buttons I can push or anything I may take it back to Best Buy. But after multiple visits and horrible service I’d rather do it myself if I could.

Thanks in advance guys! You’re the best.

Hey all hopefully someone might know this. I have a viper 2 way alarm and remote start on my civic si. I have been trying to change it from manual mode to automatic mode. I'm aware of the risks but the manual version is borderline unusable. I found a power about switching it but it didn't work and in the process it added garage door functionality to my remote. So now I need to remove that to. Thank you. All comments about how I should do this will be downvoted and ignored
