Keyless entry question

[2002GTS]

I need to make a get a spare key and remote. I know that the standard dodge key blanks work on the viper. Is this also true for the remotes? These are going to be spares, and will likely sit in the back of a draw somewhere so I don't want to spend the extra money just to have a viper symbol stamped on them if not needed.

Thanks,
Bill

You can find them on e bay pretty cheap sometimes so you do not have to pay retail.

Viper only, not used on any other cars because of the system. All other chrysler products use a keyless entry receiver for the remotes, however the Vipers use an "electronic entry module" which also incorporates the security system. The part number is 4865431aa and the list price is $57.00, but cost is $34.20. Most decent dealers will sell them for less than list. And yes they are on ebay,.

How easy is it to program the remote? What are the steps?

On the '02, you have to use a Chrysler drbIII scan tool, so a dealer will have to do it. I think the owners manual says you can do it without but I have never seen it work.

Screw the factory alarm on the Viper! I don't know about any of you, but all my factory alarm did was cause me grief. I finally got fed up and switched to a custom alarm that works well. The guy also did a setting where my windows are now one-touch inside and remote up/down when outside the car, pretty cool!

It's not so sensitive that it goes off every 2 min., and the LCD screen vibrates/buzzes if the alarm goes off and I'm not around with over 1/3 mile range. :thumb:
