Default Got a few questions on the viper 2 way alarms

I have a question for those of u who had one. When i got it installed they installed the antenna that goes into the car into the headliner where the windsheild is that way you cant see it at all. Well the problem is i dont get very good reception for some reason. I parked infront of wal mart, went inside and pressed the lock button and i got no signal. Wtf...should i reinstall the antenna onto the windshelid itself above the rear view mirror? the reason i ask is because i dont wanna take apart all this stuff jus to reinstall the antenna and it not work. Any suggestions?

Maybe it's just the fact that you were inside of Wal Mart. I'll be in there sometimes and not even get reception on my cell phone. Between the concrete walls and interference from all the electronics in there, I can imagine it's difficult for a signal to be very efficient. Just a thought.

hmm i think i may remount the antenna above the rearview mirror on the glass then. Its in the headliners and u cant see it and i wouldnt imagine it would get great reception. And suprakid, i coulda afford the one with the remote start and shit. I jus got the 690 xv

i think u should take it back to the place you got it installed and tell them to reposition the antenna. because CC cant install anything right the first time.
