Viper 5301 - Newbie problem

Kateinwa · 10-31-2009, 03:10 AM

Hi -
Just had this remote start system installed today in my 06 Honda Accord. I only wanted to use it for the remote start function from home in the morning and leave the control fob at home... Planning on using my regular remote entry on the ignition key and the factory installed security the rest of the time. The installer showed me how to use it once and it seemed easy enough, but when I tried it at home - somehow I set off the alarm, the car DID start though. This happened a couple of times and had trouble getting it to stop. Now I'm afraid to use it!! Should I take it back or am I missing something easy? I did try the manual, but it seems pretty confusing and full of programing on things I wont use.

Any help will be appreciated!

Press the "Lock" and "Unlock" buttons at the same time...

Thanks - I will try that as soon as it is a bit later and there is less risk waking the neighbors! Would I need to do this every morning, or is this just the quick SHUT IT OFF fix?

OK... still need your experts help. I'm not afraid of the thing anymore, have moved on to being frustrated! Here is what seems to be happening. There seems to be a timing element to problem solving this... Remote start works but sets the alarm off - I get the alarm to go off by unlocking the car with the key in the door... (the suggestion to push both the lock and unlock on the viper remote at the same time did NOT work). If I repeat the process, right after opening the car with key - start from the beginning of the sequence and simulate what I would normally do - then no alarm at all. When the car has sat for a while, about 15 -30 min, it seems something has reset and causes the alarm to sound. Also the alarm goes off after sitting - when just the Viper fob signals the car to unlock!

Again - any help appreciated!
