3. Setup and Installation
The Viper 5906V is a complex vehicle security and remote start system. Professional installation by a certified technician is highly recommended. Incorrect installation can lead to vehicle damage, system malfunction, or safety hazards.

- Wire the remote start and security inputs/outputs to the corresponding vehicle circuits (e.g., ignition, starter, door pins, trunk pin, hood pin).
- Perform system programming and learn-in procedures for the remote controls and vehicle-specific settings.
Refer to the detailed installation guide provided with the product for specific wiring diagrams and programming instructions.
4. Operating Instructions
The Viper 5906V system is operated primarily using the provided remote controls. The OLED remote provides visual confirmation of commands and vehicle status.
4.1 Remote Control Functions (OLED Remote)
The OLED remote features a display and several buttons. Button functions are typically:
- Lock Button (🔒): Press to arm the security system and lock the vehicle doors. The OLED display will confirm the action.
- Unlock Button (🔓): Press to disarm the security system and unlock the vehicle doors. The OLED display will confirm the action.
- Remote Start Button (🚗): Press and hold for approximately 3 seconds to remotely start the vehicle. The OLED display will show engine status (running, stopped).
- Auxiliary Button (AUX): Activates a programmable auxiliary output (e.g., power trunk release, window roll-up/down). Functionality depends on installation and programming.
- Function Button (f): Used in combination with other buttons for advanced features or to access the remote's menu.
4.2 OLED Display Information
The color OLED display provides real-time feedback on your vehicle's status, including:
- Arm/Disarm status
- Door lock/unlock status
- Engine start/stop status
- Alarm triggers (e.g., door open, shock sensor)
- Internal temperature (if equipped)
- Remote battery level
4.3 Using the 1-Way Companion Remote
The companion remote typically has the same basic lock, unlock, remote start, and auxiliary buttons as the OLED remote, but without the visual feedback. It sends commands to the vehicle but does not receive status updates.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Remote Battery Replacement
The OLED remote uses a rechargeable battery, typically charged via a mini-USB port. The 1-way companion remote uses a replaceable coin-cell battery (e.g., CR2032). Refer to the remote's specific instructions for battery replacement procedures.
5.2 General Care
- Keep remotes away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Avoid dropping remotes or exposing them to water.
- Clean remotes with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
6. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Viper 5906V system, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Remote Not Responding:
- Check the remote's battery level. Recharge the OLED remote or replace the battery in the companion remote.
- Ensure you are within the system's operating range.
- Verify the remote is properly paired with the system. Re-pairing may be necessary (refer to installation manual).
- Reduced Range:
- Environmental factors (buildings, hills, radio interference) can affect range.
- Ensure the antenna is properly mounted and not obstructed.
- Low remote battery can also reduce range.
- Vehicle Not Starting Remotely:
- Check if the vehicle's hood is closed. Many systems have a hood pin safety switch.
- Ensure the vehicle is in Park (for automatic transmissions) or the parking brake is engaged (for manual transmissions, if configured).
- Verify the vehicle's battery is charged and healthy.
- Check for any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in the vehicle that might prevent starting.
- Alarm Triggering Randomly:
- Adjust the sensitivity of the shock sensor.
- Ensure all door, hood, and trunk pins are functioning correctly and not falsely triggering.
For persistent issues, contact a professional installer or Viper customer support.
