I just finished installing the viper 790XV into a 2000 civic CX (the wiring guide on this board and on directed's board is all wrong....)anyways, everything is working fine except the keyfob does not receive confirmations or alerts from the brain. I have tried all the combinations on the keyfob configuration, is there a setting in the main brain that needs to be changed or is the keyfob screwed. Any info will be appriciated.

Also, has anyone installed this alarm on a 2000 civic before, where is the RED / black light flasher wire, that according to directwire is supposed to be above the fuse box????

Thanks in advance...

Anyone???

Here's what happens:

I'll press a button (arm/disarm), the alarm works (arms/disarms) but instead of the little door lock icon changing, a the little antenna flashes and the remote beeps three times. The Rx (receive) icon never flashes. So could this be the keffob of the antenna??

Yeah it is the remote, the 790xv alarm remotes suck, most likely it is the internal antenna, have you dropped the remote at all? One way to check is try to arm the alarm, if it beeps three times, hit the remote against your thigh with a little force and try to arm it again, I know its ghetto, but it worked for me for a couple months. Had to replace mine with the blue one, it is much better though, even comes with a belt clip. Can't remember where the RED / black flasher wire is located, but I am doing some mercury switch work tomorrow I'll check.

Was this ever resolved? I have the same problem with my DEI python XP881 (Viper baby brother). It is not the antenna or the remote as I have replaced both. Remote works but does not recieve a transmission back to confirm.

I was goin to get the python 881XP. Is there any reason I should not go with that one. I know someone who has the 780XV and hasn't had any problem with it. Any info would be great thanks.

I really like the python 881XP. It has worked exceptionally well other than the problem I am now having with paging.I have a number of add on's like auto window roll up when locking, prox sensor, glass sensor battery backup,voice module etc. and everything installed well worked the first time without problems.

I've purchased the Python 2-way fm peger alarm when it first came out with those grey remotes and I had to send it back to dei. remotes were badly constructed. I received the new black remote and it was cool for a while till it does not send back no page when the alarm is set off. I'm really not happy the leading alarm manufacture is starting to slack off with there products.
