Default Lost my second key fob, now I am SOL.

Went to a concert tonight, lost my keys, car parked at a friends house with the alarm armed. It is a viper, no clue on the model number etc. The alarm was on the car when I purchased it. And clue where to start.

I can get in the car as I have a spare key and will be going to honda monday to get one another cut. I just need to know how to disable my alarm and where to go about getting new fobs. Thanks in advance.

Do you know where your valet switch is? I know some models of Viper alarms (if not all) give you 5 seconds or so from the point of opening the door with the key before the full-on alarm goes off. If you know where your valet switch is (for mine it's more of a push button), open your car door, hurry the hell up and push the valet switch, and then the car is disabled.

The only possible problem is the alarm can be programmed to accept a different sequence for the valet alarm. If the alarm doesn't disable, get out of the car, lock it, then try again, but this time push the valet button 2 times. Keep repeating until the alarm turns off. I'm pretty sure this is how it works, I have a Python alarm installed on my car (same company), and I'm pretty sure that's what the little booklet says. Good luck getting in.

EDIT: Oh and Best Buy sells the Viper line if I'm not mistaken. They have plenty of extra key fobs. If they sell the Python line then Circuit City sells the Viper line. I know they each sell the one the other doesn't, but I forget which one sells which.

EDIT AGAIN: Yeah it is Best Buy. Good luck

Now is a good time to find out what model you have so you will know how to use the valet/program button/switch to override the alarm in case you need to again. 94
