Viper alarm help me please (kinda urgent)
So i bought an alarm on the internet (791xv)and took it to a local place to get it installed. They tell me itll be done by 4pm so i walk in at 4 and its not done. I ask what the problem is and he says that the factory alarm wont let the remote start stay on. And i thought that was odd. Then he says that he'll have to keep it overnight and im like whatever at this point as long as it gets done right. Call at 11 am and he says that it wont let him program the alrm and hell have to rewire it the WRONG way because thats the only way it will work. He said ill have to push unlock twice instead of once which the viper alarm wont do well. My previous alarm (autopage rmote start) had the same issue with the unlock twice thing thats why i know that these problems are related and that the brain of the viper isnt defective like he said. Please help if you can. Id appreciate ir -Rick

For something like that, I would take it far from where you live.
He doesnt know what he is doing. Plain and simple. Tell him to cease immediately on the work and negotiate on what you owe him. Then take your car elsewhere and research your options further....

There isnt one plae in Tucson that knows what thet are doing i cant win.
Actually this could hold some truth. Ive had customers even from here that bought these online and the exact thing happened. I couldnt program manually or with the Bitwriter. And DEI will not do anything for them/you. You have to hope that the seller you purchased from will.

I'm not an expert or an installer, but maybe they wired the window module(s) to the window switch(es) instead of the motor, like they are supposed to. (as I've seen in other threads) Either that, or maybe they didn't set the resistance dip switches correctly?
This may serve as a warning to other folks to make sure they only use DEI certified install shops (you can search on DEI's site). If a shop says they are certified, but don't appear on the list, call DEI directly. If they don't know em, then avoid the shop.
