I just got the Viper 5901 installed on my car and there are some things that were bothering me about it. I was hoping someone could help me out.
1. Originally, when you first insert your key into the ignition, the steering wheel comes down, but when I use remote start and then insert my key in, the wheel does not telescope down and I have to do it manually. Is there a way to fix this?
2. When I unlock the car using the Viper remote, I am unable to unlock all 4 doors, but if I just use my key then it unlocks just fine. How do I get it to unlock all the doors when I push unlock on the Viper remote?

It should operate all locks if properly setup. The dome lights should go out on lock with the Viper remote if the door lock wiring was interfaced in the correct location. You may want to go back to the original installer and have those issues corrected, you should not need to use the factory remote at all. Sounds like whoever installed it may have taken some shortcuts.

Good luck in getting it fixed, mang. Talk to the shop manager about this, as it should be his responsibility to check the work for accuracy.

Go there. It's much easier to show them it's not working than it is for them to hear you tell them it's not working. Plus, it puts it right in the open in front of other potential customers, which equals motivation to get it in, get it done properly, and get it out of the way of paying jobs. Make sure they don't cut corners again, and have the shop manager walk you through everything again.

WOW. I feel like a complete dumbass. It does unlock all the doors if I press the button TWICE.. just like the Lexus key. I thought that with the viper remote, I could just unlock/lock all the doors with one push of the button lol. As for the key sense wire, Im going to take it in to get fixed on Monday. Thanks again guys.
