Disconnecting the Factory Alarm

They are a waste of money, PATS is all one needs.

pats dosent make any noise when someone is trying to break in just to steal stuff from inside the car tho

People do not pay attention to the noise though.

And your pager is not going to help catch someone doing a "smash and grab" because they will be gone by the time you get there.

yea aftermarket alarms are a pita, there should be a central control module that looks like a little rectangular box about the size of a ciggarette box, on my old car i just clipped the wires goin too it and threw it away.

Find the box as mentioned. But just pull off the connectors. If it starts and runs. You're good to go.

I do not believe there is such a thing as a factory installed Viper alarm.

IMHO after market alarms SUCK. I would have it completely removed by a professional alarm shop if I were you...

You must not have ever had your car broken into. I currently have a Viper 791XV paging system, and I've caught the theives before they entered the car THREE TIMES already. Sirens are not enough for me, I need the paging as well. Without the paging, I would have been screwed all three times.

Also, be careful pulling out the brain like deftsound said. If you try to do this on my car, it will disable the starter and you won't be able to start my car. Extra security.

EDIT: Please note that I have never had any false alarms on my car. This means that any time my alarm pager goes off, my heart starts beating and I drop whatever I am doing and run to my car. It happened to me at the mall, I bet people thought I was crazy, but I swear, when that pager goes off, I run faster than I would ever normally run. Also, all of DEI's paging products have a pretty good range. I think mine is around 1/4th mile. I'd like to get a signal booster for both the pager and alarm, but not sure how I'd go about doing that.
