Do the buttons of the remote in this unit get pushed easily in your pants pockets like the viper version of this remote? I have unlocked my car and started the motor several times accidently due to bad design of viper remote. If this is better, I will...

I have not hat that problem with this unit. Other units that I've owned I did experience with others, though.

Like any remote start system, this needs to be installed by a professional mobile electronics installer. Not a mechanic. Take it to a stereo/security shop. Let someone who does these day in day out do it. I sell and install Viper products, but have no problems installing anything else. The wire colors are different than Vipers, but it's the same dang thing. If an installer is too scared to touch a product like this, then they're not experienced enough to touch your car anyway.

I got mine a few months ago fit my girlfriend's mazda. The problem was that her car is a stick shift and the remote did not come with programming instructions. After digging around online I found some instructions but they don't work on a manual car. I've had the remote for a few months now and I still haven't been able to program it. Hope this helps.

It's your choice. If you choose automatic close, you had better be out of the way when it starts closing. If you might be pulling a trailer it could be a problem. I chose to use hand held remotes (It comes with 2-I bought a couple of more so each car I own would have one. The tiny switches in the extra ones may be set to the same as the originals by opening the battery door and comparing them. They have a range of about 50 yards.

Mine was kind of the same, I didn't use the buttons on the device at all though because I always used the remote, so it was never an issue

I actually shimmed my button with little bits of plastic under the rubber cap, to make the button easier to activate. It's buried and quite stiff. I think you're far more likely to pop off the pocket clip and lose the clip. (happened twice on mine, lucky enough to find it again both times -- And I squeezed closed the part that holds onto the barrel to grip tighter, but i'm not sure of the effectiveness there.) Just make sure the light is INSIDE the pocket, and you should be okay to not lose the flashlight itself. :o)

We have a viper ...not sure what model number but it was easy to program and we have had no problems with it!

There is a reset button on the opener that kills all programmed remotes. You need to do this right away if your remote was stolen. After resetting it you will have to re-sync all remote openers to your unit, (keypad, key fob, visor unit, etc.). You don't need to buy this key fob to cancel all the remotes you have programmed into your opener. Merely reset the opener. However if your key fob was stolen you undoubtedly will need a new one and I would recommend this one. The only problem I have had with it sometimes in my pocket when at home it can open randomly. Too much stuff in my pocket! You should find instruction for your model opener here: http://www.geniecompany.com/

Mine worked fine. Even with repeater that I have to use to get car button to open door. No reprogramming remotes.

I purchased two remote units, and have installed one. The one remote does not work well even after I put an extension on the antenna wire. Opening from the vehicle inside the garage is fine, but you have to drive within inches of the door, then remove the remote from the visor and try and try to get the door to open. I changed the remote battery with little to no improvement. This unit would not be high on my list to purchase in the future. Sorry to be negative, but I'm being honest. Yes, there are three buttons on the remote, and with the one unit connected all three buttons will open the one door-why I'm not sure!!! I purchased two remote units, and have installed one.

Mine wouldn't do the auto program or the one where you point the old one at it and press all the buttons. I had to do it one button at a time, manually. As to how that works, I'm sorry but I can't remember exactly. I just remember fighting with the thing for a long time.This remote has now become nearly useless, as the main select button has to be mashed hard to get it to react, and the up/down selector ring is also barely functioning. It has also become very position sensitive and has to be pointed directly at the Dish box to work, and is slow even then.I have bought a new Sony RM-VLZ620 to replace it. Sorry I was not more help. If I knew then what I know now about the URC, I would have sent it back. You should too. Mine wouldn't do the auto program or the one where you point the old one at it and press all the buttons.

My original button was a car starter. The new model shows a panic button in the lower right position but it still acts as the car starter not a panic button.

Most factory remotes are not an alarm. Just lock and unlock, if you manually unlock the door with the key will the horn go off when the door is opened? If you roll down the window and set the alarm, reach inside and open the door will the horn go off? Most don't but even if your does, this Viper 4103XV is not an alarm (only lock/unlock and remote start)! To remove your factory alarm (if it is) would be a downgrade. Just install this and get a Security Key bypass system of your choice that fits your car. When this is installed it will lock/unlock and disable your factory alarm in one shot.

The power button is VERY easy to push and it responds just like the actual power button. They even send you 2 extra buttons ( I guess if it pops off?) I haven't had a problem with it being loose or anything else for that matter. It also works with the IR blaster which is nice for me since my kids lose the remote sometimes.EverytimeI push it it responds instantly. Very nice.

Better would be for the remote to respond once to a single press! Seriously, I do not know how to answer your question as there is NO correct other reply!! Mine seems to work just as well as the OEM version (which doesn't always respond as it should either!).

Used one in my Z, has been pretty good for a few years, although finally dying - the locks, to the actuator's credit, are really stiff though. I used the other one to remote-fire a paintball gun behind my front grille, and it's held up even better :) I'd buy 'em again.

On my 2002 ford explorer I had to get in my car from the drivers side close the door turn the igniton but do not start do fast 8 times within 10 sec ending in the on position the doors will lock and unlock turn key to off position click any button on the remote it should work. My ford will only program 2 remotes not 4 as some people have said.
