Need help with remote!

[mattsmusic]

I figured I'd be proactive and replace the batteries in my keyless remote. Consulted the manual, bought some CR2016's, installed them... and now my remote doesn't work. Does it need to be reprogrammed, or something else?

Thanks, Matt

Hey Matt, I just bought a new remote and went step by step on reprogramming it by owners manual . If you need help give me your # and I'll give you a call.

Is it normal to have to reprogram after replacing the batteries?

Matt, hopefully you can skip step#1. If you can't unlock your car. We are in trouble...

I saw that in the manual. Unfortunately neither of my fobs work, I pulled the batteries out of both at the same time. The car is unlocked and runs, just can't use the remotes. Might have to bring it to the dealer to get them reprogrammed.

Press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons for 5 to 10 seconds. Your Viper should lock/unlock if the remotes synchronize. Good luck...

Thanks, I got your VM and will give this a shot. Am I the only one this has happened to? lol...

Does anyone have this info for a Gen 2? I tried this, but I don't have a panic button on my remote. Thanks!
