Rep Power: 239 Viper or Python Car Alarm Remote
Anyone know if I can just use a Python 2 way remote and program it for a Viper 2 way alarm system?
The remotes look exactly the same from the outside, and they are the same company, right?
The only thing is that Python remotes seems to be less $$

Rep Power: 225 well even some of the two way remotes wont even work with eachother. there is a cross reference list somewhere where you can double check what alarms fit with what remotes.

Rep Power: 239 yeah python is lower end right?
so it would probably be more reliable to have a viper
i guess it's not just the name for viper
i thought I was just going to be paying for the name

Rep Power: 0 the only thing that can be different in the systems is the range/features available b/c of the brain.
All a 2 way system is a bunch of wires so idk how Python could be "lower end"
If the two 2 ways have about the same features then they should be able to be "cross programed" in a sense... for the most part anyway

Rep Power: 246 ive got a python alarm system and still workin great after about 4 months i believe? no problems at all except for the lack of batteries..i think python is like the sister company of viper basically they are the remakers or something like how it is with graphics card...where they have radeon then they have saphire which is another company that puts their own settings on the same graphics card as radeon(sorry if i lost u). thats my only guess

Rep Power: 239 yeah I get you
i actually bought a saphire radeon card because it was cheaper than a 'regular' ati radeon
so i'll get a replacement python remote if it's cheaper, if not, I'll just get another viper one

Rep Power: 225 yeah, there should be a compatibility sheet online.
just because its a lower one, or made by the same company doesnt mean itll work. heck, i accidently tried getting a different 2 way clifford alarm and it didnt work with mine.

Rep Power: 239 the interesting thing is, I found a Python 2-way remote on ebay that was cheaper than the Viper ones
BUT, on DEI's website, the Python one is almost $100 more
who wants to spend $249.99 on a remote

Rep Power: 225 but its not even 249.. you can go to best buy and get one for like 150 or something.
if worst comes to worst.. you could always just swap your broken remote out for a good one. just find a place that sells the same alarm.. and then do some magic. and return it.
