Cold? Viper 5701 2 way car alarm $102 Reg $499! I GOT ONE !

[DenaliAK]

Thanks ATL,

I really need an alarm, and this one just sounds too good to be true.. if you know what i mean. But for the price you cant beat it. Just to make sure, all that is needed is a bypass module correct? and i'll be good to go.

I know I'm not ATL, but that is correct. Bypass and install and you're good to go.

Yep pretty much, make sure if or when you order it you use that TINA discount code from the first page so you can get it cheaper.

thanks, i saw that i'll be sure to use it.

EDIT:
Just edit my post, but read all through this thread. Still kind of confused what the bypass does? And can i get any kind of bypass? Ive seen the xk06, that site lost me if this is the one for my 05 tahoe. But i also found this one http://ifar.ca/en/products/flash/int-sl/vehicles.html#chevrolet from Fortin, anyone heard of them. Looks like it does alot. You guys that have this installed what did you get? from where? I search 05 Tahoe and get all kinds of info i dont know what it means? Sorry im new to alarms. I also checked out the sonicelectronix site, that one looks good. Also, what is all this Update firmware on the bypass modules, will i have to keep updating it somehow?
Im confused for some reason..

so i got it installed today it all works but i had some questions? when you arm it and go up to the handles and pull them and shake them or kick your tires is the alarm supposed to go off ? if so how do i turn up the sensitivty ? also when i unlock it the the unlock button flashes green and the f flashes red and makes a alarm noise on the fob like 3-4 times is this normal ? what does that mean ?

The flashing lights and noises are normal, if not annoying. You can make the noises stop.

I *think* you can adjust the sensitivity yourself, but if not you may need an installer to do it for you.

Most of your answers can be found in the manual here:

If you go back through some of this, we talk about how to turn the noises on the remote off somewhere in the thread, too.

You can adjust the onboard shock sensor threw your transmitter(remote) refer to page 13 in the owners guide

and if i can recall the F flashing red when you arm/disarm it is the low battery indicator on your remote they probably need to be changed refer to page 10 in the owners guide

bypass, shmypass

::kickin' the dust of this thread:: First off, greetings to all! I have been lurking for a while and this is my first post. What a wonderful site this is... I love the helpfulness and thoughtful considerations. Back on topic, I have been to different sites about the bypass and some say I need one, some say I don't. The Viper site says no, the installer says yes. I have a '02 Kon XL. Do you folks have a definitive answer for this issue.

 

[arod3776]

thanks for the great deal, just ordered mine today 133.00 total with 2 day air, cant wait to have it installed.. so whats the deal with the bypass module, does the car audio shops have this? sorry im a newb when it comes to electronics

 

[DenaliAK]

I ordered a bypass everyone swore would work, then my installer told me to get rid of it and used another. I'd either let the installer deal with it or ask the installer ahead of time the exact kind he would use.

 

[Riff Raff]

let the installer worry about it

so i have some questions i got this installed about a month and a half ago and i already have had to changed the 2 way remote batteries like 3 times is this right ? they seem like there going dead way to quick .... i tried calling gooddeals but i get no answer im starting to get pissed any one have any suggestions.

 

[ScottL4619]

Just stumbled across this thread and it appears that they still have some in stock for $92.91. Did anyone figure out how to make the heated seats turn on? Will a good installer know how to install a module for the windows?

 

[oak510_tahoe]

hmm tried to order, on the confirmation page it just gets stuck when I click next.. anyone else have this issue?

never mind, unselected the INS and it worked.

 

[ScottL4619]

I ordered and used the Google checkout and didn't have any issues with the order.

my remote batts on the 2 way went bad twice just from playing with my remote ,so i said **** it and just use the 1 way remote

 

[Doomsta510]

my batteries haven't died out yet and i used the remote allot. Only problem I have is I still cant figure out how to lock the damn remote, getting tired of the buttons being pressed while in my pocket.

Other then that I love the alarm.

This is the bypass module I purchased: http://www.amazon.com/GM-Self-Learning-Passlock-Override/dp/B000WB0VXS
I have had this alarm installed since 07. As for the battery issues in the remotes, I think some of you just have bad batteries. I went through the same thing and thought the remote was malfunctioning. I stopped buying batteries at Walmart and ordered like 50 of them from Digikey for about $20. I haven't this problem since, but in reality, I think the batteries only last about 3 to 4 months of use. Remember that the remote constantly talks back and forth to the alarm, so if your truck is out of range, the remote will use more power trying to talk to the alarm.

 

[WhoDatPanic]

hey diffrnt how do you order from digikey ? i saw i can get 50 cr2016 energizer batteries for 15 bucks i think i can get 2 from autozone for 5 lol so thats a good freaking deal! but how do i order that site is confusing .....

 

[ScottL4619]

So, I received my order quickly, but was somewhat disappointed to see the package was open inside the USPS box and everything was falling out. There was also no padding around the product box, so it was free to just bounce around inside the shipping box.

Here's the biggest issue, though...they sent me two "1 way" remotes. I went and did their online chat and I have to send one of the "1 way" remotes back to them at my cost and they will send me a "2 way" when they receive it.

Does anyone know if I can have the system installed using just the 1 way remote and sync the 2 way remote up myself when I receive it?

 

[WhoDatPanic]

how did you get a hold of them??? scott
