Car Alarms: lost viper remote, cant open with key. alarm goes off, dash area, button spring


Question
I lost the remote to my eclipse which has a viper alarm with keyless entry and I tryed opening the car with my spare key which only set off the alarm. Is there anyway I can use the spare key with having the alarm go off until I get a new remote? Its bugging the crap out of me.

Answer
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.

That should do it.

Just repeat the steps to go back into servicable or
operational mode.

Good luck.
