Viper 4103XV

Works well. Love the robust keyfobs.

A solid remote start/keyless offering from Viper. The thing I love most about this model is the keyfobs. Their higher-end models use these thin oval shaped fobs that people sit on/crush and have the battery door break off them all the time (I install them professionally). Though Viper's newest models correct the battery door issue, they still feel a little too flimsy for long-term daily pocket carrying. But these.... these keyfobs are solid!

Onto the system. It has just about all the features any higher-end remote start has minus 2-way communication and manual transmission mode. AUX channel is there for trunk pop or anything else you want to trigger. Virtual Tach works decent, but I recommend running a hardwire tach for increased dependability in all climates and age vehicles. Antenna range is pretty darn solid. It don't think you'll EVER get the 1,500ft advertised, even on an open field, but it's pretty darn long.

Improvements I'd like to see. Putting the valet button the antenna, as it is in the higher-end models. Having all wire connections on one side of the brain!! And think about the dock-able bypass module idea, like Compustar does with their Blade. Sure make for a nice clean install.

Good Product

The Viper 4105V works great. There are several options for settings and can be coustomized for the users requirements.

Excellent Purchased

The item was ordered and received withing reasonable time. Item was new and met expectations.

Viper 4103XV

Like any other viper, the quality is very good. Professional install is required. Easy to use.
I have always used Viper remote starter and alarm for all my vehicles, I find that the remote for this one is very sensitive to the touch. So if in crowded pocket with keys and change and what not, there are chance you start your car without knowing, of course if you re within the described perimeter.

Love My Remote Starter

I chose this remote starter because I liked the ergonomics of it. I did learn that with remote starters only certain places are allowed to install certain brands. Best Buy installed mine and I am grateful to have it. I did lose the sounds of the remote lock/unlock and also my car alarm. However, I would trade that for having a remote starter, especially during the winter, any day. You do have to make sure that you turn the key in the ignition on otherwise the car will die and you have to restart.

Good buy

I bought this as a gift for my aunt. She finds it very easy to use and love the control design. She parks far from where she works so the range is good enough for her. I recommend this product to those who want an easy and simple remote starter.

MOM LOVES IT

I BROUGHT FOR MY MOM FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENT- AND SHE LOVES IT. SHE HAS A FORD F150 AND IT WORKS GREAT- TOOK THE GUY NO TIME TO INSTALL!

do i need anything else with this product...transponder

i own a 2000 monte carlo lx i purchased a 4103xv viper remote starter what else do i need. i heard you need a bypass module.

Solid remote starter, but don't expect any help from Directed Electronics Customer Service.

This remote starter is a great value with all the necessary functions that most people desire. Great transmit range on the FOBs.

I installed this remote starter on my 2010 Focus. This was a simple installation on my Focus (once I was able to locate the vehilce's wire locations). That part took me longer than expected since this was my 1st remote starter installation.

I paired this Viper 4103XV with the Omega OL-MDB-ALL bypass module. After performing the 3rd remote start (so that I could verify the safety shutdown operations) the engine shut off and set off the car alarm. I noticed that the LED light on the Omega had gone off. The Viper was no longer communicating with the Omega module.

The customer support for Omega is terrific! They were able to help me determin that the data bus from the Viper remote start was not sending good data to the Omega bypass module. I had to remove the data mode cable and install the hardwire connector.


FYI: If you ever need to know which wire from the Viper 4103XV remote starter is the "grounded while running" ouput: It is the BLUE wire (Pin #1) on the 4-pin satellite harness. It is labeled "(-) 200mA STATUS OUTPUT". You will need to connect this wire to the Omega's "grounded while running" input when using the hardwire mode.

Great basic Remote Start

I purchased this Viper Remote Start for my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. Had it professionally installed with no problems. I've had it since 12/12 and it works every time! Turns off after 12 mins to save fuel, unlocks and locks my doors and the anti-theft devise is a blessing. Several times I have forgotten to turn the key in the ignition and the engine stalls out as it's suppose to do so you don't have to worry about someone stealing your vehicle. I am very pleased with this remote start and the brand is excellent.
