The Viper D9957V is an add-on remote transmitter kit for compatible Viper remote-start and security systems. It gives an existing system a color LCD two-way transmitter plus a separate one-way backup remote. This configuration is intended for drivers who want command feedback on a display-equipped remote while retaining a second transmitter for another user or backup use.
The primary two-way transmitter provides visual confirmation when supported commands are received by the vehicle system. Its color LCD can display command confirmations, system status, programming menus, and system information. This helps users check the result of a lock, unlock, remote-start, or security command without relying only on vehicle lights or audible feedback.
Viper rates the D9957V kit for up to 1 mile of operating range. Actual operating distance can vary with installation, vehicle location, obstacles, radio interference, and remote battery condition. The two-way remote uses an internal antenna for transmitting and receiving information, while the companion remote transmits commands one way.
The kit is designed for use with compatible DS3/P and DS4/P platforms rather than as a stand-alone remote-start or security system. Supported functions depend on the installed vehicle system, vehicle integration, and installer configuration. When paired with a compatible system, the remotes can access functions such as lock, unlock, remote start, auxiliary output control, and security commands.
The package combines a color LCD primary transmitter with a five-button one-way companion transmitter. The LCD remote is rechargeable through its USB charging port and includes menu-based settings for display preferences and system access. It is a practical upgrade path for a compatible Viper installation that needs a visual two-way remote and an additional everyday-use transmitter.
Key Features
- Two-Way LCD Confirmation: Displays command feedback and supported vehicle-system status on the color screen.
- Up To 1 Mile Range: Provides extended stated operating range for compatible installations.
- Two-Remote Kit: Includes a primary LCD transmitter and one-way companion transmitter.
- Color Display: Supports system information, command confirmations, and programming menus.
- USB-Rechargeable Primary Remote: The two-way remote has a USB charging port for its battery.
- DS3/P And DS4/P Support: Designed for compatible Viper digital remote-start and security platforms.
Design & Installation
The D9957V package is centered on two handheld transmitters with distinct roles. The primary remote combines an internal antenna, color LCD, function button, command buttons, and USB charging port. The one-way companion remote includes an internal antenna, transmit LED, command buttons, and a function button for accessing additional command levels.
Professional installation and programming are required because this is a transmitter kit for a compatible installed system, not a complete vehicle-control system by itself. Confirm compatibility with the vehicle's existing Viper DS3/P or DS4/P system before purchase, and have an authorized installer configure available functions. Features such as remote start, trunk release, auxiliary outputs, and security functions vary by the installed system and vehicle.

Is the D9957V a complete remote-start system?
No. The D9957V is a transmitter kit intended to work with a compatible installed Viper system. It is not a stand-alone remote-start or security system.
Which Viper systems are listed as compatible?
Viper identifies the D9957V for compatible DS3/P and DS4/P systems. Confirm the installed system and available functions with an authorized installer before purchase.
What remotes are included?
The kit includes one color LCD two-way transmitter and one one-way five-button transmitter. The owner's guide identifies the remotes as part numbers 7957V and 7657V, respectively.
How many buttons does the primary LCD remote have?
The official D9957V kit-contents list identifies the color LCD two-way transmitter as a four-button transmitter. Viper's product overview also uses five-button wording, so the official kit-contents listing is the clearest package-specific reference.
Can the primary remote be recharged?
Yes. The two-way color LCD remote has a USB charging port for its remote battery. The owner's guide notes that USB-rechargeable remote batteries are not intended to be replaced.
Will every listed command work on every vehicle?
No. Available functions depend on the installed Viper system, vehicle compatibility, and installer configuration. The owner’s guide states that not all system types support every function described.
