It sounds like you have the "non-changing" transmitter Rob. The override
is the same as on the EVC II (i.e. the old "hidden switch"). The problem
on the factory CC ones is that the switch is always in the same place
:-). When I had the EVC II installed in the Dak at the dealer, I had
them use a non-standard installation location. It required some harness
modifications, but at least every 12 year old in town won't know exactly
where it is. Hopefully your Viper installer was a bit "original" in
where he located yours and didn't use the "recommended" location.
Like 'ya say, if they want it bad, they came with a tow truck :-)...

Don't know about the EVC II setup in the Daks, but the CC factory alarm
in the Dodge Viper is a constantly changing one. The prob. is that just
about any idiot with access to the factory manual can "re-sync" the
transmitter with the car, so its not much good. I had heard that both
the Clifford and Viper after market alarms were the same (i.e. there was
a "re-sync" procedure that could be used without first gaining access to
the car, in case your transmitter battery went dead)...

I've got an after market Viper alarm ... if the transmitter battery is
dead, there is a hidden over-ride
switch which works only with the key in and ignition on. This shuts the
alarm off any lets you start
the truck. My door lock aren't electric....must be opened with the key.
I
like it that way.
According to the supplier, even the guy who installed it would take 3 or
4
minutes to disable the alarm and get the truck running without a key. I
also use "The Club".
If someone really wants it .... all they need is a tow truck.
