Thank you but it says access denied?
Can someone who can see it cut and paste it for me.

Done:
1. Ensure the alarm system is not armed.
2. (1996 ~ 1998 GEN II) Ground pin C13 loose green wire taped to harness of EEM connector, which is under dash mounted on the left side of trans tunnel, directly above accelerator. Easy access if you remove knee bolster and rubber bungee cord that holds EEM to tunnel.
2A. (1999 ~ 2000) As #2, but instead of C13 you're grounding Terminal 1 of the DLC. (9/30 update...Ron found out that DLC is the Data Link Connector, i.e. the under dash OBD2 connector which is above your left knee)
2B. (ALL GEN I) Ground green "Program" Wire located next to SAM and RKE modules. Is a green wire with a bullet connector on end. Is located under driver's side instrument panel.
Hint, Make sure you're connecting to a solid body ground by testing it with an ohm meter.
3. Turn ignition to run position while green wire is still grounded!
4. EEM acknowledges entry into programming mode by flashing the dash LED. If it doesn't flash, you either:
- Have the wrong wire
- Aren't solidly grounded
- You came off ground after the ignition switch was placed in the run position. Start over.
5. (All GEN II) Press BOTH buttons on the transmitter simultaneously and continuously for 10 seconds. You will hear a triple horn chirp when FOB is accepted by the EEM.
5B. (All GEN I) Press and release the arm or disarm button on either FOB, then same for the next.
Hint: Make sure your transmitter is working, i.e fresh CR2032 battery $1.19 @ Zbattery.com and good clean battery contacts. Many times your problem is an electrically weak connection within the FOB itself.
6. You MUST program all FOBS during the same programming process. You can program up to 4 on a GEN II and I think only 2 on a GEN I.
That's it. Turn the ignition off and remove green wire from ground, then test the arm and disarm functions.
I've done 4 FOBS myself and found it quite easy once you find the green wire.
I took mine to my Viper tech-took him maybe 5 minutes and he didn't charge me any $$$

thanks!!!
By reading these instructions it seems that, in any 2001 or newer car, all you have to do is hold the two buttons down till the horn sounds.
Does this mean that anyone with a remote can program their remote to your car? Or am I missing something?

No. You have to have access to the interior of the car and ground the appropriate terminal in order to reset the fob by holding down the two buttons....
Also if someone were to do this without your knowledge, your fob would be disabled (unless they had it to begin with). That is why you must program all the fobs at the same time..... Once you reprogram, all other fobs will be deactivated.
It's not a bad idea to do this anyway with any new (used) Viper purchase. Just in case there are some FOBS and keys out there you might not know about.....
The Viper isn't the most theft proof car out there by any means....

I might be wrong, but I believe the above instructions were a cut & paste from several years ago.. Hence..no 01 or 02.
The same steps apply for 01 & 02 Gen II. Just put a small wire in the pin 1 position of the DLC and ground it.
The hardest thing about this is to get under the Drivers Side dash to get the wire..Not much room there you know with the seats in.....
Easier with 2 people. One holding the remotes, while the other one grounds the wire and turns the key....
