Sup Everyone,

Wifey lost her keys with the remote to the Viper 5900 alarm installed on her 2000 Accord. I have a couple of questions;

Once i get a replacement viper remote, can the frequencies be changed so that whoever found old remote will not be able to disable the car alarm?

Where's the cheapest location i can get a replacement viper remote? Currently i see them for $70-$100 on ebay. Is there any place cheaper?

Thanks in advance

you cant change the frequency, but you can dump the remotes from the system so they no longer work.

if i remember to delete all remotes, door open, ign on, press valet once. press 3 times and hold. it will remove remotes.

best bet is search around. when you buy any replacement remote or accessories for a system, adding abit more and you can purchase a whole new system.

She has the Viper 5900 which only comes with one remote. I was able to find the remote on ebay new for $80. Does anyone know if i can program it myself, is their a site that might possibly have the instructions?

Thanks

open a door, (Green or purple door trigger wires must be connected), turn on ignition, (ignition must be connected, press valet switch twice and hold on second press (valet switch must be plugged in), when you hear a single chirp from the siren, press the lock button of the remote, you should hear a long chirp immediately after, that indicates success, if however you hear a long chirp from the siren when attempting to enter programming you brain is locked and must be unlocked via a bitwriter!

Thanks, Thats what i was looking for. I have a simple question. Because my remote was lost i want to erase all transmitters before programming the new remote. The installation manual indicates the following;

1. Open a door.

2. Key. Turn the ignition to the ON position.

3. Choose. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Program switch the number of times corresponding to the desired channel listed below. Once you have selected the channel, press

the switch once more and HOLD it. The LED will flash and the horn will honk (if connected) to confirm the selected channel. Do not release the Program switch.

The number of times i need to press the Program switch is 14 "Delete all transmitters**"

However it goes on to say, **NOTE: If any button from a known transmitter is programmed to Channel 13 (Defogger Control), all transmitters will be erased from memory and will revert to the default feature settings. This is useful in cases where the customer's transmitters are lost or stolen.

So am I to understand that the only way it will erase all transmitters is if my previous remote was programmed to channel 13, otherwise it wont be erased? The reason im asking is because i didnt have the defogger function set up with the alarm.

I'm sure that is just a misprint. I have and older Viper 571 where deleting all transmitters is channel 11 and the newer version is channel 12. There are two ** for the note of channel 14. I would go with that, you should get 14 short honks from the horn confirming the channel.

Thanks,

What i was referring to was,

**NOTE: If any button from a known transmitter is programmed to Channel 13 (Defogger Control), all transmitters will be erased from memory and will revert to the default feature settings. This is useful in cases where the customer's transmitters are lost or stolen.

What if i dont have the alarm configured for defogger control (channel 13)?

I think the channel 13 is a typo error in the( ** Note:) section of that page.

I was just giving an example of the same model (Viper 571) with two different manuals. Older 571 and a newer version 571.
