I installed viper 5301 on a toyota corolla 2008. The problem is I cant figure out how to program it for automatic trans. I bought this r/s from ebay with no install guide (did not know that) I thought it would be no problem , boy was i wrong! Im pretty sure sll of my wiring is correct Idatalink module programed fine. Lock unlock works fine. When i go and try to remote start it gives me 7 flashes. This is my first time installing dei not familiar with them. If ANY ONE has even the smallest idea please post it. Thanks!

Hopefully your Viper brain isn't "locked", then you would need a BitWriter to unlock it.

You want to change Menu3, Item1 to Option 2. If you a do a search on this site, I believe Smokeman1 has given some excellent instructions on a prior post. Using a remote can be trying but with persistance.....

Here is a link to the procedure : https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/file.asp?ID=711
