Setup

Professional Installation

The Viper 5808V system requires professional installation. It is highly recommended to have the system installed by an authorized Viper dealer to ensure proper functionality and to maintain your vehicle's electrical integrity. Attempting self-installation may void your warranty and could lead to damage to your vehicle or the system.

Remote Pairing (If required by installer)

In some cases, your installer may need to pair additional remotes or re-pair existing ones. This process typically involves placing the vehicle into programming mode using the Valet switch and then pressing a button on each remote. Refer to your installer for specific instructions on remote pairing for your vehicle's configuration.

Operating Instructions

Your Viper 5808V system comes with two remote controls: a 2-Way LED Command Confirming Transmitter and a 1-Way 5-Button Transmitter. The 2-Way remote provides visual and audible confirmation of commands.

Remote Start

The Viper 5808V system includes remote start capability. Specific activation sequences may vary based on installation. Typically, to remote start your vehicle:

1. Ensure the vehicle is in park with the parking brake engaged.
2. Press and hold the Remote Start button (often a circular arrow icon) on your remote for approximately 3 seconds.
3. The vehicle's parking lights will flash, and the engine will start. The 2-way remote will confirm the engine status.

The system is compatible with the Viper SmartStart Pro System (sold separately) for remote start and control via a smartphone app.

Panic (Car Locator)

To activate the panic feature and locate your vehicle:

• Press and hold the Panic button (often a siren icon or a combination of buttons) on your remote. The siren will sound, and the parking lights will flash.
• To turn off the panic feature, press any button on the remote.

Auxiliary Functions

Your system may have auxiliary outputs configured by your installer for additional functions, such as trunk release or power window control. Consult your installer for details on how to activate these features using the AUX buttons on your remote.

Impact Sensor

The integrated impact sensor detects disturbances to your vehicle. If an impact is detected while the system is armed, the siren will sound, and the 2-way remote will provide an alert.

Maintenance

Remote Control Battery Replacement

When the remote control's battery is low, the LED indicators may dim, or the range may decrease. To replace the battery:

1. Carefully open the remote control casing. Refer to the diagram on the back of the remote or consult your installer if unsure.
2. Note the battery type (e.g., CR2032 coin cell).
3. Remove the old battery and insert a new one, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Close the remote control casing securely.

Dispose of old batteries responsibly according to local regulations.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Viper 5808V system, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Remote Not Responding: Check the remote control battery. If the battery is new, try re-pairing the remote (consult your installer). Ensure you are within the system's operating range.
• False Alarms: The impact sensor sensitivity might be too high. Your installer can adjust the sensitivity. Ensure doors, hood, and trunk are fully closed.
• Remote Start Failure: Ensure the vehicle is in park, the parking brake is engaged, and the hood is closed. Check for any dashboard warning lights.
• System LED Indicator: The system's LED indicator (usually located on the antenna) provides status information. A slow flash typically indicates the system is armed. Consult your installer for a full list of LED codes.

For persistent issues, contact your authorized Viper dealer for assistance.
