Hi, I want to buy a bitwriter for my Viper 5904 so I can program the features only accessible with it. My question is, is the Dierected 998T Bitwriter ESP2 the one I need? Or will it work with my alarm. I don't know which mine is? I know my manual saids Bitwriter must be version 2.7 or newer. Thanks for the help in advance.

Don't know what the problem is yet... but I know what it's not.

The BitWriter model number is 998T. The 998T has a prom chip with a revision number. The latest revision is V2.9. Version 2.7

is the minimum needed for your Viper system ( V2.9 will work ).

There are many online vendors for the 998T. Expect to pay around $70 for a brand new in the box 998T with the latest revision chip.

Soldering is fun!

Backwards and forwards compatible with the ESP on older brains, the new series all run on ESP2. Just a newer, faster,more secure communication protocol.
