My remote control for my Viper 791VX doesn't see any command confirmation from the alarm anymore. It arms, disarms, and remote-starts my car perfectly. Used to be when I pressed a buttom (say arm), it wouldl arm the car and the car will chirp and then my remote will receive a confirmation signal and beep once. Now the remote complains no confirmation signal received. Any idea?

I think I tried to enter and exit valet mode (without really know what I pressed) right before it stopped working. I might have messed up some programming.

Any help would be appreciated.

are you sure the system is arming? does the siren chirp when you lock and unlock the doors? if not............to place the alarm in valet or out...i believe if you have to open a door and hit lock, unlock, and lock on the remote in sequence....

Hi Derekc,
It's possible that command page is turned off.
1) Enter programming by pressing all four buttons at once, you'll hear a tone.
2) Within five seconds press the STAR button. Each press turns it on or off.

I looked up the installation and user manuals. The exact symphom is comand page is not received by the remote control when a command is transmitted to the vehicle and the "signal icom" is displayed and beep-beep beep-beep beep-beep.

Today I bought another remote control and programmed it and same problem with is new remote control. I even tried enabling/disabling that PageMode on/off remote control feature (press all four buttom at the same time and then the * button), same thing, no help.

It looks like it is not the remote control. It must to something with the brain or wire in the car. Or it is the antenna. I will open it up and check tomorrow and update this thread.

Thanks guys.
(It is not the battery nor the valet mode.)
