Just incase anyone has the same problem I did someone on Honda-Tech helped me, here's what he said:

Its going to chirp once and keep holding the button. it will chirp twice and still dont let go of the button until it chirps three times. after that press the valet button two times and on the third time press and hold it. Now get your remote and press the unlock button but dont let go of the valet button. after you press the unlock button on the remote the alarm should chirp. after that you can let go of the valet button put the key back in the ignition cylinder turn to the on position and then back. Now the alarm should have chirped again but it will be like a confirmation chirp. now it should remote start no problem......hope this helps!!!

Now, when I start the car with the new remote I hear a relay or something clicking every 3-5 seconds. When I start the car with the old remote there is no clicking. My parking lights aren't flashing when I start the car with either remote.

its not a relay, its the brain box itself sending a 12 volt signal to the parking light wire (red/black, above the fuse box or dkp) why its not lighting them up can be a few different things. jumper may be in the wrong position, tap may have came loose, or you may have de-programed the feature, the only way i know to test it is by putting a voltage meter to the parking light wire or test light and wait for that "clicking" noise to see if your getting power.

Re: Remote for Viper Alarm 791vx
Okay I just noticed something that I had not noticed before when I remote start my car with my old remote that parking lights stay solid and when I remote start my car with the new remote the the parking lights flash.
How do I change this?
Before I didn't notice that the new remote was making the lights flash that's what the relay is that's clicking, but I was starting it from inside my car and didn't notice.
