Lost Viper Remote

[totti888]

hi Everyone,

Wifey lost her keys with the remote to the Viper 5002 alarm installed , just wondering 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?

Thanks in advance

no, the alarm is code hopping model, the code changes everytime you push the button,and these remotes cost a bucket load to replace, $200+ in most cases

Code Hopping is used to "encrypt" the signals transmitted by Viper remote controls. The codes randomly change each time you arm or disarm your alarm following a complex algorithm, so that the codes never repeat. Many Viper systems include an advanced Clone-Safe Code Hopping format that delivers a total of more than 18 Quintillion Codes - that's 18 followed by 18 zeros! Code Hopping provides you with better security and peace of mind, knowing that only your remote controlled transmitter can operate the system. By the way, code grabbers can work on garage doors too, and have likely been used by criminals to gain entry to the home that way. You may want to think about using a Code Hopping receiver on your garage door, so that you can work it with your keychain transmitter.(You'll probably get better range too!)

how about a shitty piranha car alarm? I just bought a cheap car, it came with no alarm remote, or mention of alarm. but there's a piranha unit in the engine bay that looks to be wired up.

can i somehow get a remote to check if this alarm works? or is that a mission not worth the effort?

once you get the new remote tuned in you shouldn't have a problem
