Reddit reviews Viper 5606V 1-way Security System w/Remote

I have this Viper remote start/keyless entry/alarm.

The installer can set it up many different ways, including duration to fire flow plugs before starting and duration to leave it running (to cool the turbo) after exiting the vehicle.

This is a one-way remote system: the remote sends a command to the truck, but the truck doesn't communicate back to the remote to show any kind of status. Two-way remotes are available, and can display if a door is left open, window is broken, remote start failed, etc.

This one can be set up to start the engine and idle for a while if your battery drops below a certain voltage. Handy if you leave it in a parking garage for a couple weeks, you won't come back to a dead truck.

I like the system. The remote is durable and slim and works really far away. The remote chirps to let you know it is sending a signal, and the vehicle chirps to let you know the signal was received. The chirps can be silenced if you want.

My 1997 obs powerstroke needed some additional relays added to the power locks (which are powered through the door switch, and not through a relay) before the installation could be completed. Car Toys did it in a day. It wasn't cheap. Insist that they solder everything, or take it elsewhere. They need to make it look factory quality under the dash.

I've had mine for about a year now. Love it!
