Review on ๐Ÿš˜ Enhanced 7254V Viper Remote - Advanced 2 Way LED Remote with 1/2 Mile Range for Cars by Cole Dutta

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much better than the original silver/black 2 way remote

About a year ago I bought a Viper 5701 alarm and needed to replace the 2 way remote. The one that came with the alarm clock was the old two-tone silver and black style (part number 7251). It's a huge improvement over the original and fixes two of my biggest issues. It works perfectly as a replacement for the original two-way answering machine and I had no trouble programming it. The first thing they did to improve the design was get rid of the easily breakable and inefficient back panel/battery door design that didn't really last. battery present. The entire shell is securely locked onto this. Granted the design makes changing the battery a bit more difficult, but I'd say it's an improvement over the previous design. The second issue they fixed was that the buttons were a bit harder to press, preventing you from accidentally hitting the lock button anymore. Get the keys from your pocket. Better still, I can only press the unlock button even with gloves on, so I no longer hear that annoying squeak of a warning beep in winter when I try to lightly press the unlock button while locking. The key press has a nice, consistent click that feels a lot better. In addition, battery life also seems to have improved, but this may simply be due to the lack of all erroneous button presses and the accidental release of the battery compartment and having to go through a remote boot sequence to ring when power is restored.

Pros
  • 5 button remote with LED confirmation
Cons
  • Some bugs
