I can only give four stars to the remote (I have the 5901 system) because the durability of the remote is pathetic. Within a month, the finish on the plastic starts to wear, and it looks like a toy gone bad. No one seems to have a protective case, other than a horrible (and expensive) leatherette square cover. The LEAST DEI could do is make a better case and sell that, or a rubber cover like the car makers have. The remote IS difficult to initially understand, but after playing with it, you will get the hang of it.
The range is incredible, and the vibrator is a nice feature as well. I like the Viper alarms, I just wish they would pay attention to the little details, like build quality on remotes!

pros: trustful device. Way many features and settings. You'll find it very useful when it comes to remotely lower or higher the temperature inside your car. I like the availability of a second remote thumb ... not so sofisticated as the main one, but helpful and slim.
cons: cheap platic. the lock/unlock buttons too sensitive, and with its working range you easily unlock your car when pocket resting.

Much better than the previous models. remote is rechargable, so no more battery changes every 2 weeks - I highly recommend it

The 5901 Viper system is very reliable and durable howecer, the romotes for this system is somewhat of a concern. I have had the 5901 Viper system in my 2006 chevy truck and it has been reprogrammed (2 times) once the fub had to be replaced and today after a freak lost of power and usage, I had to purchase another pad (The Clifford Replacement Transmitter P/N# 7752X) in order to use my truck. I like the Viper Systems because at onetime Viper was the top of the line but also really durable. If there is a way to correct the fub concerns, then the 5901 system will continue to be the "Best System" for your vehicle security

Great Remote, Great Range, Great Reliability..... But don't break it because it is way overpriced when you have to replace a fob. $199 for a $15 Chinese product using ancient radio frequency technology I'm all for capitalism but WHOA!!!

Great remote. Temperature is accurate, 1 mile range is excellent! Rechargable battery is also a plus, long battery life and does not need to be re-charged everyday like a cell phone .
great range and has less problems than the previous version

great remote. best feature is being able to look at it and see that big lock on the front and the feeling of your car being safe with it.
only cons is the actual plastic parts could be a bit more rugged. even a replacement metal casing would be nice. i know they make covers and pouches but the pager is already bulky enough. its pretty easy to take apart with the single screw in the back and a replacement caseing would be awesome.
anyways thanks viper for a great alarm

This remote works great the range is amazing i parked at the mall and i could still get signal to my car from the other side of the mall. I also like how it has the rechargeable battery. The only thing I dont like about it is its a little bulky, but other than that a great remote
