i'm literally about to go insane here.
just installed viper 5704 (5901 replacement) in my civic. everything is fine and dandy but the 2 way remote i got, the unlock button does not work at all. this would really suck, but i have the 5901, which has the EXACT same remote as the 5704. My plan was to do the 2 car setup reguardless so it would just be an extra remote.
well my civic will NOT pair to my other remote. everything is correct. go through the sequence
-open door
-turn key to on
-press and release control button within 5 sec
-press and hold control button within 5 seconds is being pressed
-churps and i let go of control button (5704 remote will go into valet mode now. WTF?)
-5901 remote is in pairing mode holding lock button. get nothing.
if anyone can tell me what i'm doing wrong, i would greatly appreciate the help. i know there are some knowledgeable guys here. i might run by a more active specific forum though. i'll repost with an update if i get an answer there. Thanks
edit: did some research and found that i most likely have the wrong door trigger input. when both doors are closed and i hit the lock button i get a door open signal. reguardless it shouldn't cause the pair setup to not work as its required to have a door open. further research found that i should disconnect battery and try again. will post up tomorrow once that has been completed.
