Here's a link to the installation manual for the Viper 791XV:
http://www.directeddealers.com/manuals/ig/viper/N564V_07-05.pdf
It should tell you how to program a new remote. If you don't find it in there, check your owner's manual. |

andy, see post above your post...
Skater Bum, thanks but programming the remote isnt the problem, its disarming the vehicle without a remote... and the installation manual doesnt explain how to do this. |

Andy, here's a link to the Viper 671XV installation guide:
http://www.directeddealers.com/manuals/ig/viper/N437V_05-04.pdf
Ivan, it IS in your Owner's Manual on page 24. Here, I'll paste it here:
Disarming without a transmitter
If your remote transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually disarm your vehicle security system. To disarm the system without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where the Valet button is located. Be sure to check with your installer at the time of installation for both the location
and the preset response (1-5 presses) of the Valet button.
To disarm the security system, turn the ignition to the ON position. Press the Valet button the
preset number of times (one to five times) within 15 seconds. After five seconds, the system will disarm. If the system does not
disarm, you may have waited too long; turn the ignition off and on and try again.
I think the default number of presses is 1. |

Personally, I would just hook everything up right away. The only wires that the remote start uses exclusively is the second ignition wire, accessory wires, tach wire and brake wire. You can hook them up safely and just not use that function of the system. |

justin lindy,
it is not a good idea to connect everything up all at once, makes diagnostics more difficult, especially for the DIY. I'm a BSEE and I just installed a similar viper 791xv.
I recommend using an Anti-Static strap from your wrist to a vehicle ground, whenever handling the alarm brain.
first verify alarm brain works:
() NEVER touch ANY exposed connector pins of alarm brain
() individually electrical tape ALL unused exposed wire ends
() disconnect battery (+)
() remove fuse to alarm brain
INPUTS
() DMM meter voltage test ALL inputs before connect
() connect constant power to brain (H1-11)
() connect ground
() connect valet switch
() connect door pin trigger
() connect hood pin switch trigger
() factory alarm disable or arm (if needed)
() attach shock sensor connector
() attach antenna
OUTPUTS
() attach siren
() attach LED
() re-connect battery (+)
() re-connect fuse to alarm brain
Alarm should work. Test by opening door.
Don't lose remote transmitter until IGnition connected.
Play with it a couple days. Then
() connect primary IGnition (IG1)
IGnition required to manually disarm
and reset alarm.
That is enough for the Alarm to work right.
All connections are T-TAP except STarter is CUT.
Starter Immobilizer (aka satellite relay)
() connect STarter (starter side) CUT
() connect STarter (key side) CUT
DONE: Alarm with Starter disable.
I just finished my 'remote start' ignition hookups. Yes it's best to connect up in functional pieces, simplifies diagnosing the install. |

CONNECTION STATIC SAFE ORDER
1st connection: your body connected to chassis ground (static strap or plain wire)
2nd connection: should be Alarm brain ground wire to vehicle chassis ground.
Next connections: all the rest, any order
Having your body connected via static strap, your hands are now at 'ground potential', same as Alarm brain, so little chance of static discharge (about 10,000 volts) from carpet or seats, frying the alarm brain via connector pins. |

KEYLESS ENTRY
Also if your vehicle already has factory Keyless Entry feature (door lock inputs & outputs), do NOT install it. The factory door locks adds another independent layer of protection for the small inconvenience of carrying 2 remotes. |

I have a Viper 790XV alarm that is not transmitting from the vehicle. When I push any button on the remote control, nothing functions (alarm, remote start, panic). The "Transmit" icon flashes but the "Receive" icon does not. All that happens is that after the "Transmit" icon flashes, the "Signal Indicator" icon flashes and the remote beeps (3 series of 2 beeps: beep-beep, beep-beep, beep-beep). The battery in the remote is fresh and I set and unset the valet mode. The alarm has power since the LED lit up in valet mode and the auto door locks work after I start the vehicle. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

hello.
i just purchased a replacement transmitter.
i am wondering what a valet botton is. Since I purchased a car that had the alarm system, I dont know anything about the system.
If anyone knows where it is located, please let me know.
Thank you. |

The valet button is a switch that is used to program the alarm system and also to put the system into valet mode (sleep mode).
It is usually located under the driver side of the dash on a dash panel or kick panel. If it is a Viper alarm system, it is most likely going to be momentary switch, silver in color with a black plastic head on it. On other systems it's sometimes just a silver toggle switch.
Your best bet is to crawl under your dash and see if you can locate the control unit and find the model number. This will help in the process of finding information for your system. |

Hello...
My car recently had a battery that completely drained and set my alarm to the factory defaults upon a replacement battery.
The alarm is a Viper C50 and the factory defaults (e.g. alarm is active upon last door closed, no audible arm/disarm, no door locks upon ignition or unlock upon turning off ignition) are less than ideal.
Would anyone possibly have the programming manual? I really would like to reset these options back.
Thanks in advance,

What year Integra? Does it have a transponder system?
It sounds like one of two things:
1. You lost your tach programming or
2. Your transponder bypass, if equipped, is malfunctioning or isn't installed properly. |

The 1997 Acura Integra didn't come with a transponder system. It sounds like all you should have to do it reprogram your tach signal into the unit.

Hi, I have a 1999 toyota camry and viper 550 esp system. My transmitter was getting wet and stoped working while I was out of my parked car. I want to disarm my car by the valet button, however, after all the unsuccessful effort (unlock the door with the alarm on, tow the car back to my garage, change the battery on the transmitter, try my second ignition key....), now I can not even turn the ignition to "on" position. (The key can be turned before. I don't know extactly when it stoped working) Anybody encount this before? really appreciate your help! |

Hello, I am installing a Viper 791XV remote starter in my car and the guide isn't very particular on the door lock connections. Can I connect the wires directly from the Viper module to the unlock/lock switch wires in the car or do I need to add in relays for those two wires? Thanks for the help! |

My appologies. The car is a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue. In addition to my locks, I found something weird with my trunk release. The wire that my dealer hooked up to my old keyless entry is showing 12 volts until the trunk release button on the dash is pushed. It then shows 0 volts, not sure if it shows a direct ground or not. Does this sound right? Will I need a relay in this situation? Thanks for the help! |

Hey All! I am trying to find the Tach wire on my 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue with a 3.5 and not having much luck. The wiring guide says it is a white wire in c2, pin 8 of the ECM, but when I tested this wire, I only get 0.05 volts with the engine running and it doesn't respond to throttle movements. Am I doing something wrong? Can I use a fuel injector wire instead? I probed both injector wires and they both show the same voltage with no change with throttle movement. Any help would be appriciated! |

Jeff Dannehl,
Do you have your meter set to AC volts or DC volts? It should be on AC volts when testing for tach. Have you tried attaching the tach wire to the wire you probed and programmed tach to see if it works?
jorge,
The valet switch can be programmed to respond to 1 - 5 presses for the disarm function. You must check with the installer to verify the programming for your individual unit.
One last thing you can try is to put it into valet mode. To do this, open a door, turn the key on and then back off and within 10 seconds, press the valet button. If you did it right, the LED should come on solid and stay that way until you take it out of valet mode. |

STEFFAN SHEPHARD, You probably got water in the siren. If your siren was mounted correctly, it will be facing the ground. If it was mounted face up, it's more than likely you got water in it and may have to replace it. Once water gets into a siren, it may continue to work once the water has evaporated but after while it will corrode and become inoperable. |

I installed the 791xv viper alarm in a 1998 chevy Surban and the remote start only turns engine over but will not crank. It only turns it over and does not start, and it keeps trying to start the vehicle but never does.
What can I do? |

Patti,
Be sure that you have installed an immoblizer for the Passlock 2 system in your vehicle (Directed 555LW). Also be sure that the tach wire is connected and the unit has learned the tach signal. Otherwise you will need to set the unit to voltage sense. |
