adding a replacement remote viper

The instructions that came witht he new fob, do not say to hold the button down the whole time, it says to hear the chirp ONCE sice I want the first menu, then hold the LOCK button down and I do hear another chirp from the alarm at that time.

When I try to do it like you suggest above when I hold the botton down (on second press), it seems like it keep cycling through menus, like I will hear 1 chirp, then 2 chirps then 3 chirps etc, while I am then hold the LOCK button down. MY fob has a LOCK and also a UNLOCK button, and the manual says to hit the LOCK button.

I have the Viper 5701 system.

Thanks for replys guys.

Are you setting the new remote into the pairing mode?

Thanks for help, I tried like you stated above but for some reason it just keeps beeping threw menus when you hold the valet button down the second time, I gave up and took it to the place that installed it, they let me watch while that did it, and the guy did not hold it down at all, he hit it once then held it down until he herd the single beep then let go of the valet button, he had already held the F button down on the remote and then the Engine Start button, so then when he hit the LOCK button on the remote the horn sounded and he then exited and it seemed to work fine for him.

Not sure what he did that I did not do! kind of upsetting, cause I tried that way also, the instructions that came with the remote do not say to hold the valet button down, they state just like he did it, to hit the valet button once then let go then hit it again till you hear a chirp and a flash, then let go of the valet button.

I can scan the instruction that came with the new remote if you want to see it, it is the same that comes with any new 7251V replacement fob I guess.

Here is the back of the package the new remote fob came in.
