- Prepare Vehicle for Programming: Open one of the vehicle's doors and leave it open.
- Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position (do not start the vehicle).
- Locate the valet button on your vehicle's antenna unit (typically found on the windshield near the rearview mirror). Firmly press the valet button twice.
- Press the valet button again and hold it until the vehicle's horn beeps. Release the valet button immediately after the beep.
- Pair the Remote: On the new remote, press and hold the Lock button until you hear the car horn beep.
- Release the Lock button.
- Turn off the key in the vehicle's ignition and close the door.
- Exit Remote Programming Mode: Press the Function (f) button on your remote once, then again until the red light turns off.
Your remote should now be programmed and ready for use. Test all functions to confirm successful programming.

Battery Replacement:

- Remove the old CR2032 battery.
- Insert a new CR2032 battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ side up).
- Snap the remote casing back together securely.
It is recommended to replace the battery with a fresh one before attempting to program the remote to ensure consistent power during the programming process.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Viper 7654V remote, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- Remote Not Responding:

- Inspect the internal components for any visible damage or misalignment.
- Difficulty Programming:
