viper alarm on cab

Just make sure you don't arm it in the campground... No need really and when it goes off accidentally, and it will, it will be in the middle of the night and everyone will just love you... ;)

Sure, use it at home or storage or if off site seeing, but just lock the doors in camp.. :)

If it is anything like mine it also has a starter. Comes in very handy wheni it's really hit to start early and let AC cool things down.

It most likely has a sleep/valet mode that is virtually silent except when the alarm is actually going off.

Please get rid of it. No one wants to hear that thing chirpping like that in a campground! And it's really not needed anyway. The chances of someone stealing an RV are way way up there!

I have an alarm on my truck that has a feature you may not be aware of. It is a passive setting. Once you get within a factory set distance it automatically unlocks. The reverse is also true when leaving the unit. At a specified distance the alarm automatically locks/sets the alarm. If the remote is within that distance for an extended period the alrm repeatedly locks/unlocks the system. Each time the alarm triggers on/off it will beep.

thanks for the help.

I did go to the viper site, but not knowing the model# didn't do me much good. hopefully when I find the "box" under the driver dash I will be able to find a style#.

thanks again for the help - EM

have you gone on Vipers website and looked for an owners manual?

What you are hearing is the warn-away feature of the multi-stage impact sensor. The alarm system is detecting impact. Motion should not do this, however a swift wind can. This can also be caused when there is creaking in the interior due to temperature changes.

Any alarm/stereo installation shop can adjust this for you. In a Viper, look under the driver's side dash. You should see a 1"x1" clear plastic box. This is the impact sensor. There is an adjustment screw in it. With a small screwdriver, left reduces sensitivity. With the system disarmed, there is still a red light in that impact sensor that illuminates when it triggers.

One good feature with Viper systems is the anti-nuisance mode. If the alarm is too sensitive, if triggered more than 2 times in 60 minutes, it silences the system. This makes sure a malfunctioning system doesn't cause too much trouble.

Pit-Viper or Dodge Viper?
