Default Viper 5501 help

I installed the 5501 in my 96 ek coupe what I can't figure out is why my alarm is not triggered when the doors are opened and the system is armed. If I have the door open and try to arm the system it will show on the screen. I am also having issues with thee shock sensor I was told that the sensor is built in to the system but every time I try to adjust it is not found.

Why not?
Viper makes a pretty good product.
Don't buy Viper from unauthorized dealers, you never know what you will get.

GrseMnky, your probably right, it is defective, what is the return policy of the eBay vendor? 94

That freaking sucks. I might be able to fix the board if its damaged. If you can't get your $$ back take the board out and look at it
