Can anyone tell me how to adjust the sensitivity on VIPERS 2WAY REMOTE START ALARM by using the 2WAY REMOTE and not the shock sensor under the steering colum??????? all HELP is apreciated. THANKS!!!!

You cannot adjust sensitivity from the remote. You must use the adjustment pot on the shock sensor under the dash.

This information is contained in your users manual.

No really, u can adjust the sensitivity on ur 2way remote. ive had a friend at work do it for me before, but no longer works with me. i kno u can also do it by messing with the shock sensor. i also don't have the user manual since i bought the car with the alarm install already. but just wondering anyone knows how and could tell me, thanks tho

B18C_EJ8

Well, I just read through the install manual and nowhere in the manual does it describe a process to change the sensitivity of the shock sensor via remote.

But if you insist that it can be done, and has been done before, then I would suggest going back to your friend and having him perform his "magic"...

coasterlvr

what alarm do you have? the 791xv shock sensor cannot be controlled with the remote, the 5000 can.

B18C_EJ8

See, now that's what I was thinking... But I just assumed 571xv or 791xv...

exactly i have the VIPER 5000. i do know what im talking about, lol might seem like magic or stupid but it can be done with my model.

Should have specified model in original post.

Anywho.

All doors, hood & trunk need to be closed. Ignition needs to be of. Press Unlock and Aux for 6 seconds. Your "Sensor" icon will appear, and the LED will be solid in the car.

Press Unlock to increase sensitivity, Lock to decrease.

Exit programming by not pressing a button for 15 seconds, or turn on the ignition if your impatient.

the alarm that adjusts by remote isnt remote start as stated in the first post. thats why i bought the 791xv. wanted both functions but remote start is better than remote adjustment.
