This review is from: Viper 7251V 2-Way LE Responder Remote (Electronics)
While the car alarm/remote start system works well, I have had nothing but a bad experience from this remote.
Cons: -The remote battery life is around 2-3 months...have fun changing the batteries. -I always find the remote accidentally activating something because the keys press extremely easily against my car key...the only other key on my keychain.
Pros:
-The remote does have a feature that disables the 2-way communication and saves battery life
Recommendations: -The Viper developer needs to make some type of case cover for this remote to prevent it from accidentally unlocking or starting the vehicle.

I really have to disagree with the previous post.
Pros:
Great design! This remote is easy to use and designed to fit comfortably in your hand. It's hard to believe that the battery life for this remote only lasted for 2-3 months for the first guy. I have been using my remote on a regular basis for little over a year now and have yet to replace the battery (my remote is still going strong BTW). On the topic of battery life, my signal is strong enough for me to still start my car up from a block away.
Cons:
The remote is hard to lock, and can occasionally start the car up from inside your pocket. This can be the only major problem for the remote. However, I am used to clipping my car keys to my belt, so I rarely experience this problem.
All in all this item is GREAT.

I've been using this remote for the past 2 years and love it. The only problem (which others have mentioned) is the sensitivity of the buttons. BUT, if you READ THE MANUAL you will find that you can lock the buttons so you don't accidentally start you car when you don't want to, among other things if you have additional modules installed.
My only complaint is the battery life is pretty low, around 3 - 5 months. I ended up buying 30 of the CR2016 batteries on amazon for about $5 and still have about 20 or so left over. (Uses 2 batteries at a time)
