7254V Viper Responder LE 2-Way - Great Replacement
7254V Viper Responder LE 2-Way
Bought this as a replacement for my old 5204 Viper alarm system. The remote seems more sturdy and buttons require more force to press.
I included a picture of the packaging slip which has some pretty useful information for pairing and seeing if the remote fits your alarm system.
Compatible with models:
5701
5301
3203
3303
4204V
5204V

Great replacement!
Works for my 5101 system and replaced the original one-way remotes. The package doesn’t list it being compatible with the 5101 system but it is and works flawlessly.
I like the notification the remote sends confirming the door is locked or the engine is started. It also made programming much easier. It all even comes with a battery
It does all the regular functions and is good to go!

Way better than the original silver and black 2-way
I bought a Viper 5701 alarm a year or so ago and needed to replace the 2-way remote. The one included with the alarm was the older two-tone silver and black style (pn 7251). This is a huge improvement from the original, fixing my two biggest problems. It works flawlessly as a replacement to the original 2-way responder and I had no problems programming it.
The first thing they did to improve the design was do away with the easily broken and ineffective backplate / battery door design which didn't actually keep the battery in place. On this one, the whole shell snaps together securely. Admittedly, the design makes it slightly more difficult to change batteries, however I would say that's an improvement over the previous design.
The second issue they fixed was making the buttons a little more difficult to press, so you no longer accidentally hit the lock button getting the keys out of your pocked. Best yet, I can press only the unlock button even with gloves on, so in the winter I no longer hear the annoying screeching warning noise from slightly pressing the unlock button when I'm trying to lock. The button press has a nice firm click action that feels much better.
Additionally, battery life seems improved as well, but that might just be from not having all the errant button presses and random battery door getting loose and having to go through the remote startup sequence jingle when it gets power again.

Better... Stronger... Faster!
We are very pleased with the Viper 7254V replacement transmitter - The activation/synching instructions provided on the back of the package were clear and concise, and I had it operating our vehicle in less than 5 minutes after opening it! I also was glad to see it arrived pre-loaded with twin CR2016 3-volt lithium batteries. The range of the new transmitter is remarkably better than the original, possibly due to its coiled internal antenna.
TIP: I took a photo of the instructions so I will have them in case they're needed when the batteries are replaced in the future (to re-synch the remote to the starter unit).

Excellent 2 Way Remote
Had to replace an existing Viper 2 Way Remote after the older remote went through the wash (my son forgot to remove from his pants pocket). Old remote still worked, but was a little problematic at times. New replacement remote was easy to set up and works perfectly. I've been very pleased with the Viper security and remote start system. I've installed the same system on 3 vehicles now...mainly for the remote start functionality.

Great Product We have been Looking For
My Viper system is 4 years old and I had already worn out 2 primary remotes with just normal usage. I am used to 8+ years of service from a factory remote. Too say I am disappointed would be an understatement.
I was looking for my third remote and I ran across these reviews on Amazon for the remote and purchased one. The reviews are correct and this remote is a lot better and easy to program. The non slip covering even make the remote feel more comfortable in you hand and in your pocket.
I would not hesitate to purchase another one to replace my second remote or to keep as a back up for when this remote is worn out, if that day ever gets here.
This is the replacement remote you are looking for.

Improved Viper remote.
If you have an older Viper remote, you probably have experienced the rear battery cover falling off and getting lost. Both my older remotes required scotch tape to hold them together. This new design eliminates that back cover. 100% better.
The remote comes with great directions for the two minute setup to pair it with the car starter. The all black looks better than the original silver and black. The case is now made from a soft touch instead of hard plastic. I'm completely satisfied.

Don't listen to the bad reviews
It's great! I read a bunch of bad reviews. I don't understand. It's a name brand replacement remote made by the same people whose alarm system you chose to put in your car. It was cheap compaired to local stero shops, got here fast and a chimpanzee could have programmed it. It fixed the issues I was having. If you seem to be having trouble setting your alarm or getting your remote start to work, buy this. It worked for me.

Same as original
I bought this because my viper system was messing up. I could stand next to car and it would work fine but if I was more than 10 feet away it wouldn't work. I replaced battery but that didn't work. I figured it must have been the viper antenna because it started to act up about the same time I replaced the windshield. I decided to replace the remote anyways and it was the right choice. Now my auto start works like it did when I first bought it. I had same remote before and would recommend this to anyone. The old one remote lasted 3 years.

So easy! Local shop wanted 4x the price I think ...
So easy! Local shop wanted 4x the price I think they wanted $225 but would install it for free. Turns out you can install in less than 5 minutes. More like 30 seconds if you follow the instructions correctly the first time...but I digress. Vastly superior to the previous FOB it replaced. The buttons are firmer so fewer accidental starts, and a stronger batter door which was the demise of the last. It also has a nice rubberized, no slip coating which gets points for coolness, even if it doesn't serve a practical purpose.
Question & Answer
Question :
Will this work to replace the 7251V stock remote? What keeps the battery cover tab from breaking like the stock remote? Can you add a picture of the back of the remote?
Answer :
The remote will replace you 7251V stock remote because I had the same one and in to of that the buttons are stiffer and the back isn't made the same; it's actually snapped together on the front and refuses to be removed mistakenly....haven't had an accidental start up or any broken parts yet. It also took the rain season here in Miami great.
Question :
Will this work with the 5701

Yes. The 5701 is the exact model I had. This replacement remote is better in durability due to quality and the battery lasts much longer. Not alot longer, but by at least 2 months, maybe 3.

Can this replace the Viper 7153V remote?
Answer :
Yes, it can be used as a replacement
Question :
Does it work with 2010 Hyundai sonata ?

The remote functions with appropriate Viper alarm systems. Make/model of a car is irrelevant in regards to the remote itself. As another respondent stated, contact Viper for specific information regarding usage with a Hyundai. From my experience, car alarm systems can be installed on any vehicle.
Question :
When i press unlock/lock buttons my car beeps and unlovks but remote signals out of range any ideas?

I have found that is a low battery signal. He has enough battery to send the signal but not enough for the control unit in the vehicle to send the signal back. Provided you have a two way remote.

I do not know. I would contact the Seller or Viper directly to make sure.

Question :
Will this work to auto start tour car
Answer :
Yes, it works better than the original! I have not mistakenly started my car while this is in my pocket once! My original was constantly starting my car when I didn't want it to. The battery casing is so much better has not fallen off once. Much sturdier. Love it, I would definitely buy another one! And most importantly it was very easy to program
