Viper Security System?

[1995z71]

I was looking under my dash today and discovered a viper alarm system was installed by previous owner. The system is a 500hf, would I be able to take my truck to a viper installer and get them to get it working again or is it too outdated? (I don't have the remotes, didn't even know the truck had a viper system until today)

Probably about 10 years old. You can get remotes for it on amazon. Take it to an alarm installer and ask. Here's the manual.

A quick google search indicates that system is from approximately 1998. If I were you I definitely wouldn't spend any money getting remotes and making it work again. Especially when you can get a brand new aftermarket keyless/alarm system installed for less than $300.

Replacement remotes are usually in the $30-40 range.

Closer to 20...

Alright thanks guys, wasn't aware that this system was so old. I am probably going to remove it from the truck because whoever installed it did a terrible job.

If everything on the truck is working as it should, leave it alone. Removing it could cause a bunch of other issues. I.E., if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
