Alright, i have a Viper Ultra 800HF, and i lost/broke the remote for it. I need to get another remote, but have NO clue which model remote i need to get. The one i had looked like a 4 button/roman numeral remote, it was black w/grey keys, and had a light at the top (i cant remember if it blinked green or red). Also is said DEI on it, and i think it said 266 rolling codes on it. If anyone can help me figure out what remote i need to get for it, that would be great!

 

aww come on, someone has gotta know something about viper alarm systems!

 

485M is the DEI remote part no. for the 800HF. Before buying, verify that the date code is within 5H-7L range. You can find the code on the back of the brain.

 

I cant get to the brain, thats the prob, when it was installed, it was installed in a way no one could really tamper with it =[ Also, are you sure this is for the Ultra 800HF?

 

485M is the one for the 800HF. There are different remotes for the other 800 models. The key is the date code. Do you know how old the unit is?

 

Hmm prolly like 2-3 years maybe, im not really sure.. i bought it like a year ago and the guy who sold it to me already had it in there

Also what i do remember is that the remote said 266 rolling codes on the back, the 66 was like smaller, like it was a "power to" 2.

The 485m is only 60 channels and 68 billion rolling codes, isnt that less?

 

Sounds like you have a 800SHF then. If this is the case you'll need one of the 476 series remotes (476V, 476A or 476T). This is why the date code is important. I would definitely try to get to the brain if you can. Otherwise, make sure the shop you deal with has a good return/exchange policy just in case the one you buy won't program. Your local Circuit City is a good place to start.

 

I went to circuit city and they didnt have the remote model i needed.. they didnt even have the 476 line. Also, the brain says right on it

"Viper Ultra 800HF" . I was told it was bought at circuit city, but i went there and they said they never carried it. =[ the only thing i could read from the back of the brain cause it wouldnt turn all the way, was like 40a/30

 

You can check with another DEI dealer (not CC) to see if they have remotes in stock. If you want to order online, here's a shop that is authorized and has a 30-day return policy (less shipping).

If you remember the "2/66 rolling codes" phrase on the old remote then I'm pretty sure you'll need the 476 series remote. BTW, did it have a green light?

 

i swear to god it was green light, im pretty sure that it was a 476 series, but its weird, cause the brain says Ultra 800HF and the remote that looked like mine was the 485m, but i remember it had a green light and 266 on the back, im pretty sure about the green light

 

A couple of years back, the remotes looked the same (476 vs 485). The only way to tell the difference was by the information printed on the back of the remote.

 

All i remember for sure, is that it did say 266 rolling codes on the back
