Hello all,

I'm a former mobile electronics installer of 6 years. Currently I work in IT and do sidework for friends and co-workers and etc. Anyways, I got a good deal on a case of 6 561R remote starters. They work perfectly fine, however I think I have come across an issue with the programming instructions.

I recently installed one of the starters in a 2003 Corolla. This particular car requires double-pulse unlock signal, and the client wanted ignition controlled doorlocks turned off. No problem right? It shouldn't be...

According to the 561R installation manual, the programming menu has 21 different options. No sub-menu's or anything like that, just 21 menu options. As most of you already know, to get to the programming option, turn the key on/off and press the program switch the desired number of times, and press it once more and hold. No problem! I programmed tachless, (voltage sense), parking light flash, crank time and run time with no issues but the door lock options are 15-21... however when I attempt to reach these options I can't go past option 14. Thats the highest the programming menu goes to. I have tried this on two different units with the same results. I have tried going slowly, verifying each menu option by checking the LED flashes, and by just pressing the buttton 15 times and holding. No results.

I HAVE to be able to change these options. Is this a misprint in the manual or something?

the manuals i have found are incorrect on the new units... they will eventually have this ability but the ones you have are an older stock that only goes to Ign lock, unlock which is about item 14....

i have run into this myself with many of the Viper 130's..... one will have a manual that goes to 14 and the next one will have a manual that goes to 21, but they both came in the same case lot.....

most Valet 561R's will only go to item 14, but you can still get these features... item 12 is unlock single or double pulse, (default being single pulse)  and 13 and 14 are ign locks (deafult being ON)  go thru items 12 thru 14 and change all to channel 2 (button 2)  this will give you double pulse unlock and program locks off in both states......

You saved my life. Thank you. Now the irate co-worker won't complain about locking his keys in his damn car.
I figured it was something like that. I've been working with DEI's for a long time and never had an issue before. I even ordered an upgraded chip for my Bitwriter, until I realized that Valet's don't USE the ESP software...
Anyways, thank you again!

Ran in to this today unit would let you go to 15. After messing with it for 3 hrs I figured out if you stop at 15 then wait for the led to flash then press the valet switch to go the feature you want to program. Example go to 15 then wiat for flashes now press the valet switch 3 times and hold it on the 4th and that will be ign controlled locks. Hope this helps you.
