Do you live close to a Tweeter store? I know we've ordered replacements for customers on occasion.

Otherwise just contact viper and see what you can do from there.

Programming the remote is simple as long as you know where the valet switch is located.

1) Open a door
2) Turn the ignition on
3) Press and release the valet button once
4) Press and HOLD the valet button a second time (the siren will chirp once and the LED will flash once)
5) Press the Lock button on the new remote (the siren will chirp to indicate that it has been learned)
6) Release the valet button

If you're confidence to do it yourself, then I would just buy it on ebay and give it a shot. If not, you can always bring it to Best Buy/CCity. They'll charge you a small fee.

Hey, On ebay they usually go from 50-80 brandnew. Its worth it to go that way. The Clifford and Python remotes WILL also work for you so if you find them cheaper or just want a color change, you can use them also. And as stated above it is wicked easy to program. BestBuy charges $155 . Where are you located? If you're close to me you can drive it here and I'll attempt to fix it for free. I have repaired over 30 of those dei/vipe/clifford/python responder remotes. 2 were broken beyond repair. Shotty soldering is usually the culprit. You can mail it to me and I'll try to get it back to you asap. PM me and let me know.
