the new remotes now have a programming button on the back... this can also be used to select vehicle A or Vehicle B if the remote is learned to more than one vehicle.....

yeah, if it's the blue viper remote with lcd, on the back, there is a P button, that's for programming....it screwed me up a few times....i accidently hit it with something in my pocket and it changed vehicle on me....keep an eye out for that...if it goes to vehicle 2, 3 or 4, hit it once..... the owners manual should cover some of what it does (backlight on/off, vibrate on/off, sound on/off) https://www.viper.com/guides/manuals/og/viper/G564V_01-05.pdf

I'm not sure if they're necessarily compatible, although from the specs, they should be...the only difference between the 791xv and 5000 is that the 791xv has remote start and a couple of other related features, and the remote doesn't have a panic button, it has a start/turbo start button, which is a star....the 5000 has the panic button in it's place.....also, the 791xv has the vehicle shown in a vertical format on the lcd, the 5000 is horizontal..... The dealer couldn't get a 791xv remote to work with my 5000, so they were gonna swap the brain out...too bad they gave up or i'd have a better alarm...LOL.....not sure if it wouldn't work because they're idiots..or because it just simply can't...

Are these remotes backward compatible with the older 791xv's?

Interesting...... I've all DEI has been sending me for warranty replacement remotes lately have been the new ones with the "p" button on the back. They program just fine to last year's units.....
