Viper 791 problems!?!?!?!?!

Alright fellas, i just got it installed... worked fine for 3 days and now im having the following problems.... first, when i press a key on the remote the car recieves the command but the remote jus beeps 6 times...(meaning that the car didnt recieve the command) so i replaced the entire unit and the remote... again worked fine for like 2 days and now it does the same, plus it shows me that the car is on when it isnt and that the doors are open. when they arent.... Has anybody had problems like this? I know for fact its not the wiring, i did it myself... ive heard that the new remotes have problems? Any truth to that? Finally what are ur suggestions... other people in at work are having similar problems...

I think its the wiring, Never had any issues with mine and the odds of you gettin 2 bad units is very low.

No it's the wiring. Did you diode your doors? Place antenna in correct locating on the front windshield? Ground everything correctly?

yep the wiring is good...im a pro...lol... like i said its the damndest thing... the antenna is in a good location right above the rear view miror... im thinking of calling Di because like I said iv been hearing that the new remotes could be the problem... it might be a bad batch of units we got at work i dunno... cuz like i said a couple of my buddies are having the same problems.
