Bought as a replacement for the remote that came with my alarm system. While this is 'prettier' and 'fancier' than the other model,(full color screen with animations instead of a black and white LCD screen.). Design wise its not really better. In some ways its worse.
While this one has taken the buttons on the side and move most of them to the front and made them easier to press. It has also resulted in making the 'Button Lock' feature pretty useless. Now I can just rub the buttons on the front back and forth and it will unlock the buttons, and worst remote start or unlock the car!! This never happened with the other model because you had to press a smaller button on the side (which was not easy to press), and then press the 'unlock' button on the front.
Accessing the settings and menus is much easier in this model due again to the color screen and the side scroll / push button.
Other than that this one does all the same things as the older one. To be honest, since the older model is cheaper, I would recommend that unless you just have to have an animated color screen, you would be better off with the cheaper, more secure 7752V model. At least with the old one, when you lock your car, and the buttons on the remote lock, you can rest easy knowing they wont unlock while it moving around in your pocket!
Then you can use the extra money you saved to buy a case for the remote!! (Both can get pretty beat up after a while with out one!)

Over the past three years my Viper two way transimtter has taking a beating and slowly started to fail me. First the battery would not fully charge and the remote would die on my unexpectedly. Then fianlly the remote would not charge at all. This is the perfect replacement at a great price. I did a lot of searching for a replacement remote on the internet/ebay and amazon was the cheapest place I could find. So if you are in the market for a replacement remote, take my word and just go ahead and order this one. I also ordered the leather cover case to prevent wear and tear. It fits nice and snug and will help with damage to the remote. Great Product!

Honest reviews on Viper 7941V 2-way Replacement Transmitter
I replaced my black and white LCD remote with this newer remote. I have the 5901 Viper 2 way remote. My original remote was falling apart. setup took less than 5 minutes following the direction on the back of the package. The range is as good as the original remote, and battery life seems to be pretty good so far. This remote is a lot easier to access the extra menus than with the old lcd remote. It is a tad large, but it is what it is.

The functionality of the user interface is greatly improved over the original LCD remoteDirected Electronics 7752V Replacement Transmitter Supercode Remote for my viper 5901 system however there is a major problem. Now maybe this wont be an issue for everyone, but it was major for me. The issue was that the buttons were not recessed far enough to prevent accidentally pressing them while in my pockets. My truck has been started by mistake in more than one instance that could have been very dangerous.(I.E.) PUMPING GAS, WHILE PARKED IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE, AND WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT OUTSIDE OF D.M.V.ON A 100F+ DAY. I DON'T THINK IT OVERHEATED,BUT IT SMELLED LIKE ANTI-FREEZE! Now Viper tried to prevent this issue with an auto button lock-out, it would sometimes. Keep in mind all the situations listed above happened while the lock-out feature was turned on! after about 6 months the fob broke off the key ring and was lost forever. probably a good thing!!!
