RE: problem with Viper alarm install
I've had the same thing happen to me but only twice, funny thing is that when i arm the factory alarm the horn never goes off. I didnt even know i had a factory alarm i though it was just a keyless entry system.

Don’t need both fobs
not on crack (I wish ;-)
Irgnation What you describe is one way to do the bypass, where the module 'eats' one of your keys. That's simply so that key's chip is always in the car, which allows any matching (chipped or not) key to start it, and makes life easier for the remote start unit.
BUT my system uses a newer type ofmodule, that uses both the chipped keys to program but does not need to keep one permanently inside it to function. That way I can keep using both keys.
The problem is not with that - the remote start works fine like I said. Problem is I don't know how the two security systems should properly interact for simple alarm functionality, and clearly my shop doesn't either. Of course the factory alarm has to be disabled, but question is is it permanently disabled or only when the Viper is armed
and I know they're all DEI - shop have called DEI about 10 times for support.
