I used to install alarms/remote starts in college for extra money. For those that dont know Viper/ Python/ Clifford are all made by DEI/Directed and each has alarms identical to each of the alarms of each sister company. So identical in fact that all modules, remotes, and add-ons can be swapped between the comparable alarm of the other brand.

If you pull up to your house and need to get something inside but you don't want to shut off your car for the two seconds you'll be inside there is a way to take your keys with you and leave it running too. 1.Put the car in park and foot off the brake 2. Press the remote start button 3. Take the key out of the ignition and your car will stay running for the time you have it set to.
Hello friend I got a Volkswagen mk4 r32. I only can start the car and do your step then lock it. Turn off my engine then i can remote start the car again. i dont do the step my car wont start from remote start.. how can i set it up without doing the step like on video?
I have only used 4x4 one time. I purchased the truck in texas and there isn't many places for off road in Houston. I am now in California where there are a few places. I am an avid dirt bike rider so hopefully I will get to use the truck for what it's intended for.
Nice Video and Nice Truck. I appreciate seeing a video from someone that is informed on the system they are using. I see too many videos from customers and installers that don't have a clue of the features. You stated the alarm should tell you a door was left open when you arm it but it didn't in the video. I install alarms and remote starts and also have a Viper 5901 in my car and it chirps twice upon arming if a door is left open. The installer shut off that feature as it's on by default.
Good question. The longest I have gone without needing to charge the remote is about a month, however it really depends how often you are using it. The remote charges rather quickly, about an hour. It is important to know how to override the alarm in case your remote battery dies while your vehicle is armed.
Great and detailed video .I got one installed yesterday and am learning the works .i found out on my ford transit that once locked the radio plays all by itself for about five minutes .Some kind of battery sensor shuts it off .I think its a transit flaw but it wont run the battery down
Thank you so SO much for this video, it really helped me. im installing this as soon as i can. in my neighborhood, they have stolen the wheels of 3 cars including my moms wheels in one friking year! i applied lock nuts on my wheels with a key but then i found that there is an easy way to take out the bolts without the key. so using wheel lock bolts are useless.
Nice truck brother. I've never been a Ford (or any usa manufac) but Ford has impressed me these past years. I have MUCH more respect for them now then any USA maker. My best friend bought a 2012 Ford Flex titanium edition with cash(an older dude) and whilst it's not my cup of tea but it's bad ass in it's own right. I'm installing this 5704v system and the smart start soon on my heavily built 94 Nisan Pathfinder. It's gonna be a bitch but worth it.
Just had that feature fixed the other day. I had a different installer from a different BestBuy look at it and he found the problem. Apparently the original installer used the dome light as a alarm trigger. The correct way to install it is by using the door triggers located under the passenger kick panel. Once he did the connections the open door feature works flawlessly.
Yes this alarm is worth it. I don't have the smart start because it was a bit out of my budget range. Remember, if you do not have a cell phone signal then the smart start will not work. Ford has come a long way. The F150 is the most sold truck on the market as of now. I had a 2002 Ford Ranger for 10 years and never had a problem. I traded it for this F150 and haven't looked back :)
Yes and you can set separate zones to go off too. An example would be my shock or window sensor. I can silent these sensors and the alarm will only notify my pager when triggered, but if somebody opens a door then the alarm will sound on the vehicle. Or I can silent the shock, window, and door triggers and the alarm will only notify my pager.
Turn the key to the "on" position. It won't let you crank the engine anyways. When the key is turned on you have to tap on the brake to disengage the remote start. If you tap the brake without the key on it will kill the engine. It is a safety feature so nobody can steal your car without the key. I hope this helps :)
The ultrasonic sensor will only detect movement in the cab from changes in air pressure. The proximity sensor detects solid objects movement from inside and out. You can adjust the sensor to your liking. Imagine a bubble around your car. You can make that bubble large or small. Anything inside that bubble will trigger the alarm.
I think you misunderstood. There are 5 active/passive arming options on the alarm. The passive arming you're speaking of is disabled. I enabled the Auto re-arm with lock. This auto rearms the alarm after disarming with the remote if a door isn't opened in 30 seconds.
You have to have an immobilizer bypass module for you to remote start your car without the key on the ignition. These modules comes in 2 types. With or without an extra key. Directed immobilizer bypass modules can be found online very easily and they are not that expensive.
Yes for sure....The only thing I had to do was get the remote replaced because the battery wasn't holding a charge. BestBuy covered it under warranty so no buggy. The new remote has had no issues in over a year.
I'm not sure if someone has already posted this but the reason why you didn't receive any warning or chirp when you armed the truck with the door open is because your door trigger isn't tapped into to.
Those features are entirely up to you. The backup battery is a necessary feature. The other feature you're talking about is the proximity sensor. That feature IMO is more trouble than it's worth. It is difficult to set the sensors how you want them. The proximity sensors are more commonly used for convertibles or soft cover Jeeps. If you do get that feature be ready for many false alarms.
Nice review vid. I use this software too and didn't catch what all it could possibly do til I watched your review vid. Keep up the nice work and thanks for the straightforward assessment. Cheers! Damon
Great video man! I just bought a silverado SS and it had this on there and I didn't know some of the features and such. I had motorcycles setting my alarm off during the day while I was sleeping, this helped a ton! Much appreciated!
I have the avital 5303 installed in my truck, by a DEI approved installer.2 problems I seen on your video that mines will do. (1) when you were in your truck and armed it, you had to open the door for it to trigger the alarm. On mines as soon as you had hit the door unlock button inside the truck it would sound the alarm. (2) if there is a door left open during the arming process it mines will give a chirp and show door is open. I know viper is the top of the line with DEI, but my aviatl works just as good. You may want them to have a look at it again too see why yours don't do what mines does. I've seen bestbuy do some shady installs, you try some other authorize installer to check it out for you. But great video.
Thanks. The alarm will trigger if I unlock the door. The alarm did tell me the door was open but it doesn't anymore. I am also having an issue that it tells me the trunk is open. I have a truck with no trunk lol!
ok. like I said you might want too go to someone else instead of bestbuy. I'm not bashing them, but I had some work done there and so have some people I know and were not happy .Example I had a double din pioneer radio dvd install. You can't watch the dvd without the parking brake being engaged. I'm fine with that. But the installer decided to drill a toggle switch into my dashboard to over ride this. But he never asked me if it is ok too drill into my dashboard. Plus you can buy a bypass too install on the radio instead of drilling into somebody dashboard. They were sorry about that and gave me the install free.
***** Yes I went to someone else who new what they were doing. Everyone that is so call certified cannot do the job correctly. Plus he showed me what the other so call installer didn't do, which to me was like reading Chinese.
You have to hold down the function key. Then scroll through the settings to remote set up. Then click function key when on "set clock". You can go on the Viper website too and download the user manual.
Disabling the error chirp would affect doors and trunk. IMO, They should have checked why the trunk trigger was activating to begin with. In order for the trunk trigger to activate, it would have to see a ground connection on that wire. It's possible the installer cut and taped up the unused wires in a way that the trunk wire is seeing a ground connection. Potentially from touching another unused wire that has a ground signal going thru it. Easy fix if they know what to look for. Good Luck!
what did you do to fix the trunk issue, I'm getting this on a 5303 avital and I don't have the trunk wire connected. it was hooked up to a proximity sensor and I disconnected it. now I'm getting the false trunk message
Yes, the remote does not have to vibrate. Yes, the remote start works when armed. If the door is opened or a window broken the alarm will go off. I have a window break sensor which detects the sound of broken glass. This helps in case somebody knows how to break a window without tripping the shock sensor. For arming/disarming with no chirp that might be a programming feature in the brain. A technician with a programmer would know the answer to that question. There is no chirp in valet mode.
I have this remote for my viper alarm system and hate it. I always accidently unlock my vehicle. Is there a better remote out there where you can lock the buttons or something like that.
Hopefully your alarm will never need warranty service since you had a mechanic install it. The installer has to be listed on the DEI website as an authorized installer/reseller for warranty service. I chose BestBuy for the lifetime install warranty and hardware warranty. Also because I am in the military, I wanted a chain company such as BestBuy to install my alarm. This way anywhere I move in the country I can have a BestBuy work on it.
The link to the support website for Directed Electronics is located in my description. Just put in your make and model alarm and you can download the owners manual. I saved this manual to my phone in case I needed to know something on the road. Good luck!
Hi I also have the viper 5704 on my Suzuki XL-7. It stopped working today. The LED flashing light on the control center wont come on; so the remote keeps indicating the out of range sign whenever i press a button on it. can you suggest what could be wrong? It wont open, lock or remote start the car
The temp is off up to 10 degrees on the 5704. Also I have mine set to where there is no chirp when I arm or disarm. Had to go into the installer settings using the valet button. I also have the 530t window control modules installed. I have a video of it on my channel.
The good thing about BestBuy is that they have a lifetime install warranty. They will figure out why your brake light is not working. As for the time set, the website where you can download the user guide from directed electronics is in my comments section.
Yes there are many add on features you can get with the alarm. The problem is that the installation can be expensive. I can adjust the sensitivity on mine with a screw driver, no problem. The actual adjustment screw is located on the shock sensor itself. The alarm does have many tones. However you can only change them with the programmer. I bet BestBuy would change the tone for you free of charge.
Question. Do you need to connect everything for it to function ? I have the remote lock unlock working, with the lights of course, as well as the hood alarm. but I haven't connected dome light, or siren yet. I also have no module for the remote start but can be done later. I realized the alarm rings and works if I open the hood. But alarm does not work when I open the door while it's armed. Is it due to not plugging everything? And which wiring is necessary and which is not?
It comes with the shock sensor as standard. And yes. I highly recommend the tilt sensor. For those mofo that steals rims and cats. Just buying a alarm standard package. Only comes with the basic. There's more feature add on that can slow and prevent theft
How's the screen on the remote? I just got one of these and can barely see the display when looking at it straight on but very clear when in a slight angle. It's worse when I have the LCD backlight on. Is this normal?
You say that you need to put a key to actually put the car in gear and move. What if you dont have a key and you have a push to start, would this feature work with push to start?
No....you have to buy separate modules that get installed inside the door panel. I think one module will operate two windows. So if you have four windows you will have to buy two modules, which are about $150 ea.
I have a question, does the keypad on the door still unlock the truck and turn off the alarm, or do you have to have the Viper fob? I use the keyless entry on mine all the time and would hate to lose that functionality.
basically other than remote starts lock and unlock, all others you have to add on? because i had mine, i cant even adjust the sensitivity, and change the tones on the alarm, there should be 6 different tones right?
i have model 5704v, would it be possible to make the car more sensitive so even the slightest touch can set off the alarm, i can't find a way in the manual
other people are telling me it's the DEI 509U ULTRASONIC sensor; so it's the proximity sensor? is that a good sensor to have? will this alarm allow me to have three sensors because I have this same alarm (just bought it) and I got the window sensor like yours and I want to get the ultrasonic sensor and proximity sensor; can I get all three if not; which will you suggest I get other than the window sensor thanks
Hello, Im about to order one for my 1998 Dodge ram 1500 4x4. Do you think i will need a DB-ALL - Databus All Interface Module. Along with the alarm system i plan to get a audio glass break sensor
Is that all the features you have? when I went to the website and I clicked build alarm I'm looking at about 5 to 600. I added backup battery so it still goes off if somebody unplugs the car battery. I add backup alarm which has its own battery and I added the sensor so it gives you a warning if someone is too close to the vehicle, And there's a sensor so if you have your windows down it will give you a warning if someone sticks their hand in the vehicle.Do you think I need all those features?
Does the window break sensor come with the Viper or did you have to buy it separately? And if you did buy it separately how did you get it integrated to show up on the pager?
No....That is a separate feature that you have to pay extra for. One window module will operate two windows. For my truck I would have to buy three modules, which is very expensive for the parts and labor.
i understand you can silently lock/unlock but car you make it silent so the alarm wont go off. For example at night and the cars in my yard and someone plays loud music i don't want it to go off.
Hmm, I wonder why the installer would do that. The installer also enabled the trunk trigger, which is weird because trucks don't have trunks. The alarm would chirp twice upon arming telling me the trunk was open. I went back to BestBuy and had them turn it off. Too bad I didn't know the door trigger was the same way, I would have asked them to enable it. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I'll go back and have them look at it.
Anything that you leave on will stay on. If you turn off the radio before leaving the car then no, the radio will not be on. An example would be the defroster. In the winter time I leave the defroster on. That way when i remote start the vehicle the defroster will come on.
I got it working yay (: and you know what it actually does make a beeping sound when it's charges cool and that's for the advise of not opening it I see what you mean (: thanks for helping me out really appreciate it !!!
Yes. However Viper will only honor the warranty if it is bought and installed by an authorized reseller. I already had to replace my 2way remote. BestBuy gave me a new remote no questions asked.
If the alarm is armed then no. If the alarm is disabled then yes you can just use your key. If you loose the remote or the battery dies there is an override button on the receiver with a customized button sequence to override.

I got a Volkswagen mk4 r32. I only can start the car and do your step then lock it. Turn off my engine then i can remote start the car again. i dont do the step my car wont start from remote start.. how can i set it up without doing the step like on video?
I became aware of this shortly after I made this video. I had BestBuy fix it and now it works great. Thanks!
Sound's like a duck when it lock's quack quack
I have only used 4x4 one time. I purchased the truck in texas and there isn't many places for off road in Houston. I am now in California where there are a few places. I am an avid dirt bike rider so hopefully I will get to use the truck for what it's intended for.

Thank you so SO much for this video, it really helped me. im installing this as soon as i can. in my neighborhood, they have stolen the wheels of 3 cars including my moms wheels in one friking year! i applied lock nuts on my wheels with a key but then i found that there is an easy way to take out the bolts without the key. so using wheel lock bolts are useless.
Mine is an 2005 explorer. I will definately fine out for sure.. thanks again man. Good vid
Great video showing the features. Helped me buy my alarm. Thanks, man.
Nice truck brother. I've never been a Ford (or any usa manufac) but Ford has impressed me these past years. I have MUCH more respect for them now then any USA maker. My best friend bought a 2012 Ford Flex titanium edition with cash(an older dude) and whilst it's not my cup of tea but it's bad ass in it's own right.
I'm installing this 5704v system and the smart start soon on my heavily built 94 Nisan Pathfinder. It's gonna be a bitch but worth it.

Yes this alarm is worth it. I don't have the smart start because it was a bit out of my budget range. Remember, if you do not have a cell phone signal then the smart start will not work.
Ford has come a long way. The F150 is the most sold truck on the market as of now. I had a 2002 Ford Ranger for 10 years and never had a problem. I traded it for this F150 and haven't looked back :)
Great video i just install viper but it was the 5706 .. you really did a good details about thank you
Yes it works. Just remember to turn off the alarm before entering your code, the alarm will trigger if not.
That's good, I didn't know the 5704 offered so much after seeing this video I'll defiantly be getting mine soon too also, thank you.
Excellent review! Very informative. I will be an owner of a Viper 5704 in a couple of days !
Yes and you can set separate zones to go off too. An example would be my shock or window sensor.

Sounds good congrats man!!! You won't be disappointed by this system.
This is what I like on interfaced OEM Factory Alarm the viper remote starters
Thank you for a very informative video this will help me understand my viper 5906 system
Yes for sure....The only thing I had to do was get the remote replaced because the battery wasn't holding a charge. BestBuy covered it under warranty so no buggy. The new remote has had no issues in over a year.

Thanks for posting!!! I was trying to decide which alarm/starter to get and you totally sold me :)
I bought the alarm and installation as a package deal at BestBuy. The installation alone will cost $150-$200 depending on the installer.
I have the avital 5303 installed in my truck, by a DEI approved installer.2 problems I seen on your video that mines will do.

***** Mines was something about they had the wires plug into the wrong port or something like that on the system brain.
I'm sold!! Thanks for the awesome review, I'm going out to get one of these alarms!!
If you are talking about the factory key fob then yes. However there is no reason to use the factory fob with the alarm I presented.
Nice vid man, this was the convincing i needed now I'm definitely going viper.
You have to hold down the function key. Then scroll through the settings to remote set up. Then click function key when on "set clock". You can go on the Viper website too and download the user manual.
How do you enter Valet Mode and what exactly is the purpose of it?

It sounds like control center may be faulty, or the brain is not working correctly. I would go have it checked out by the person who installed it.
The temp is off up to 10 degrees on the 5704. Also I have mine set to where there is no chirp when I arm or disarm. Had to go into the installer settings using the valet button. I also have the 530t window control modules installed. I have a video of it on my channel.
It was a pleasure, I'm glad it helped.
Does this one start you ac too?
The good thing about BestBuy is that they have a lifetime install warranty. They will figure out why your brake light is not working. As for the time set, the website where you can download the user guide from directed electronics is in my comments section.
you should post a lot more videos of your truck. Like take it off road and see how it handles. I'm buying an FX4 this year.
Yes there are many add on features you can get with the alarm. The problem is that the installation can be expensive. I can adjust the sensitivity on mine with a screw driver, no problem. The actual adjustment screw is located on the shock sensor itself. The alarm does have many tones. However you can only change them with the programmer. I bet BestBuy would change the tone for you free of charge.
Very informative. Thanks!
I purchased the sensor separate on Amazon, and BestBuy installed it the same time I had the alarm installed.
hm did bestbuy charge for install?
Hi i have a viper alarm as well and i was wondering how to get the remote start to 20 min bc its at 15min how is this done on the remote
Mine honks the horn twice when unlocking. Is there a way to turn that off or remove that ?
Question. Do you need to connect everything for it to function ? I have the remote lock unlock working, with the lights of course, as well as the hood alarm. but I haven't connected dome light, or siren yet. I also have no module for the remote start but can be done later. I realized the alarm rings and works if I open the hood. But alarm does not work when I open the door while it's armed. Is it due to not plugging everything? And which wiring is necessary and which is not?
Also if I open the door, the alarm won't activate. But once I shut the door with good force, the alarm activates
how do I take off the silent alarm it's stayed on for some reason pager chirps but the car horn dosent
Hey, do you recommend the tilt sensor or is the shock sensor good enough to sense if someone were to try to steal rims/tires?
It comes with the shock sensor as standard. And yes. I highly recommend the tilt sensor. For those mofo that steals rims and cats. Just buying a alarm standard package. Only comes with the basic. There's more feature add on that can slow and prevent theft
They can be installed anywhere, most likely behind the dash. That would be a question to ask the installer as each installer has their own preference.
How's the screen on the remote? I just got one of these and can barely see the display when looking at it straight on but very clear when in a slight angle. It's worse when I have the LCD backlight on. Is this normal?
u might have the plastic on still
You won't regret it. Make sure an approved Viper tech does the install.
You say that you need to put a key to actually put the car in gear and move. What if you dont have a key and you have a push to start, would this feature work with push to start?
I have this in my car..best buy also did my install...I tried too turn it off...it didnt work..n the lights stay on...how do I get them.off ?
No....you have to buy separate modules that get installed inside the door panel. I think one module will operate two windows. So if you have four windows you will have to buy two modules, which are about $150 ea.
I have a question, does the keypad on the door still unlock the truck and turn off the alarm, or do you have to have the Viper fob? I use the keyless entry on mine all the time and would hate to lose that functionality.
Thanks for the video
basically other than remote starts lock and unlock, all others you have to add on? because i had mine, i cant even adjust the sensitivity, and change the tones on the alarm, there should be 6 different tones right?
quick question, do u know how to set the time on the LCD remote? i just got one put on my truck yesterday?
does this 5704 comes with the window roll up and down automatically, when you lock and unlock the car?
you said "decent price" for best buy, how much did you pay for the whole package? Alarm, glass sensor, and install? thanks!
nice truck by the way!
i have model 5704v, would it be possible to make the car more sensitive so even the slightest touch can set off the alarm, i can't find a way in the manual
Glad I was able to help make your decision :)
other people are telling me it's the DEI 509U ULTRASONIC sensor; so it's the proximity sensor? is that a good sensor to have?
will this alarm allow me to have three sensors because I have this same alarm (just bought it) and I got the window sensor like yours and I want to get the ultrasonic sensor and proximity sensor; can I get all three if not; which will you suggest I get other than the window sensor thanks
Hello, Im about to order one for my 1998 Dodge ram 1500 4x4.
Do you think i will need a DB-ALL - Databus All Interface Module.
Along with the alarm system i plan to get a audio glass break sensor
Yes you will need one.
what ignition bypass did they install with the viper?
Is that all the features you have? when I went to the website and I clicked build alarm I'm looking at about 5 to 600. I added backup battery so it still goes off if somebody unplugs the car battery. I add backup alarm which has its own battery and I added the sensor so it gives you a warning if someone is too close to the vehicle, And there's a sensor so if you have your windows down it will give you a warning if someone sticks their hand in the vehicle.Do you think I need all those features?
Does the window break sensor come with the Viper or did you have to buy it separately? And if you did buy it separately how did you get it integrated to show up on the pager?
TheHoenheim I bought it separate. You have to program it to the brain of the alarm. I had bestbuy do the installation
how do you turn the led light back light on, on the remote? cant figure it out
+Blackandblue687
Do you know how to get the remote start up to work?
WHICH IS THE SENSOR THAT IF YOUR WINDOW IS DOWN A LITTLE AND YOU STICK YOUR HAND IN THE CAR OR THROW ANYTHING IN THERE THE ALARM WILL GO OFF?
No....That is a separate feature that you have to pay extra for. One window module will operate two windows. For my truck I would have to buy three modules, which is very expensive for the parts and labor.
i understand you can silently lock/unlock but car you make it silent so the alarm wont go off. For example at night and the cars in my yard and someone plays loud music i don't want it to go off.
Yes the keypad still works. The keypad does not control the alarm. If the alarm is armed and you unlock the door with the keypad it will trigger it.
Nice would you recommend this product? Thinking about getting one for my f-150
Yes but you have to buy the receiver and have somebody install it. It is about $200 plus a monthly subscription for the service.
Hmm, I wonder why the installer would do that. The installer also enabled the trunk trigger, which is weird because trucks don't have trunks. The alarm would chirp twice upon arming telling me the trunk was open. I went back to BestBuy and had them turn it off. Too bad I didn't know the door trigger was the same way, I would have asked them to enable it. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I'll go back and have them look at it.
In the notes under the video I provided a link to the alarm user manual. The manual will tell you how to turn off the keypad lock.
Anything that you leave on will stay on. If you turn off the radio before leaving the car then no, the radio will not be on. An example would be the defroster. In the winter time I leave the defroster on. That way when i remote start the vehicle the defroster will come on.
Where did you buy the Viper and do you have to purchase all the sensors(glass, shock) separately?
Bought it at Best Buy. The shock sensor is included but all other sensors have to be purchased separately.
Does the F-150 come with a ignition immobilizer? if so any issues with it and the viper system?
Do you know how to turn off the auto keypad lock? can't figure it out.
thanks
I got it working yay (: and you know what it actually does make a beeping sound when it's charges cool and that's for the advise of not opening it I see what you mean (: thanks for helping me out really appreciate it !!!
I have the same problem with the trunk message on mine. And I was wondering how you reset the alarm??
Disconnect your battery for a couple minutes then reconnect.
Yes. However Viper will only honor the warranty if it is bought and installed by an authorized reseller. I already had to replace my 2way remote. BestBuy gave me a new remote no questions asked.
I have the same alarm.. I just can't figure out how to set the clock. Any ideas?
Are you able to still start your car without using the remote start? Let's say you loose the remote or it looses it's charge?
If the alarm is armed then no. If the alarm is disabled then yes you can just use your key. If you loose the remote or the battery dies there is an override button on the receiver with a customized button sequence to override.
