Battery took a crap in my remote about a month ago . Can still use the viper phone app but this is just quicker lol. Walking up to the truck and hit unlock on the app it has to send the signal to wherever it goes then send it back up unlock, and that only does the drivers side . Hit unlock twice for all 4 doors to unlock. So for that one thing the remote is actually convenient.

I have the same remotes and alarm. For some strange reason my remotes become unpaired with the alarm sometimes--one at a time. It's a pita to pair them back too. That happens to yours too?

Lucky. I had a shop do it. I think I'll just go there 1 day and have them look at it.

Had a shop install mine . Know the owner of the shop for a long time and he makes sure I’m taken care of.

Got my 100% brand new dorman battery holder thingy majig. Of course it doesn’t come with a bolt lmao. But was cheaper than a used one at $8.32. I have plenty of misc bolts laying around.

Replaced the battery terminal bolts with new ones. Including an extended one to be used for connecting secondary battery which I still need to get cable made for it. these just pop right out of the rubber surround then pop back in. It’s common for these side post bolts to strip out over use. My ground bolt was stripped and I wasn’t able to tighten it down which can cause major electrical issues. So it’s a cheap and easy fix I thought I’d share.

They make the bolts softer than the battery posts so the bolts strip instead of the battery posts.
