Hmmm, that's interesting.
dolucasi, do you have the same inconsistency issue that BetterDaze has?
And have you tried swapping in your spare unit, BetterDaze? Maybe the one currently installed is faulty out of the box. For how cheap they are, it sure seems to be a possibility. And I hope that is the case, because your experience is making me wonder if Viper makes a system that works with our pneumatic locks.

I do not have the inconsistant unlocking on any units. Of the 3 that were installed (each of 2 FOB wireless, so 6) one sometimes is more difficult to lock because of the FOB button.
When this happens the blue led on the led does not trigger ether I know it is the wireless on my keychain. A minor annoyence.
I have not had a unit act intermittently with the extended antenna that stick out of the rear bench seat. Make sure your power connections to the unit are soldered in.
I have not tried my spare unit but do not doubt it will work fine. Also these units have been in production >8 years and they must have sold 1000's of them so they probably have decent quality control.
These days a more expensive unit does not necessarily mean a longer lasting unit. Sometimes it is how many you sell that determines quality.
Yes the wireless markings tend to fade off, so if you want to keep the markings use a clear coat spray on them every other year.
Good luck with the selection.

If I had to guess mine acts this way because it isn’t actually soldered in like dolucasi’s…mine must just have weak electrical flow. I used t-taps instead of solder
