Viper Alarm remote case replacement
My new to me 99 ext cab Tacoma has a Viper alarm on it, two button variety, nothing fancy, but the key ring attachment point on the top of the remote case (plastic loop) is busted on both remote cases. I looked on Ebay and found some replacement cases. You think my local place that sells Viper would have any replacment cases and save me some shipping.
I need to find a manual as to how this thing works as I'd like it to beep when I arm/disarm so I know it's done something when I click the button. It's got a remote start feature too.
Alright, back to the Orange Bowl as halftime is almost over.

depending on how old the unit is, your local shop may not have a case anymore. i havent seen a viper case in probably 5 years at my place.
you should be able to find a manual on viper ( dei electronics ) website. the model of the alarm should be on the top of the brain.
you said it doesnt make any noise when you lock and unlock, is the led a solid light or blinking? if its solid its in valet mode, which typically wont allow the remote start to work, as well as mutes the sound. basically shuts everything down except for door lock functions. if the light is solid red, you can try one of two methods:
1) find the "valet" button, it should be a small black push button. turn the key to the ON position and hold the button in until the light turns off.
2) if you cant find the valet button or that doesnt work, open the door, press button 1, press button 2, press button 1. it should pop out of valet.
lastly, once the alarm is out of valet, if that is the case. try holding buttons 1 and 2 down at the same time for a few seconds. the parking lights should flash and truck should start if all is well.
good luck, hope some of this helps

How about just cutting the stupid alarm out of there? I did that to my 4Runner and never looked back. Stock wiring is so much cleaner anyways.
I had nothing but problems with the alarm/remote start on my truck, and it cost me a lot trying to buy new remotes. They would work a short while and break again. Completely pointless.
