So, for some reason my new thread disappeared from the site. when i get this sorted i will post a new link.
It didn't disappear from the site. They just changed the way forums are linked, it's driving me crazy. When using Google to search this site, all of the links are dead.

For programming watch this video...link is below. I followed this video and found out programming Visions really isn't that hard, just took me a minute to catch on. If you have a manual it'll help a lot so you can "see" what the video is talking about and the manual has the light options/numbers you need to program it with. Link for video:
Six years later I'm sitting here reading my post. The video here helped me with most of my trouble. You don't need a controller and brain that are matched. You can buy them separately, clear the brain box memory and start from scratch. I really like the Visions and all that they can do! Here's the video for programming again, hope this helps someone!
Hey I had the same issue with my vision bar I couldnt get the siren to program but the airhorn and manual wail worked every time I started my truck it would beep and flash bot then when I hit the reset it was fine. I was able to program it the way I wanted with the flash patterns I wanted but now I have issues with only the 2 outer pods rotating so I replaced it with a led bar so I have 2 brains for it they are both from lvmpd ( Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department ) and a switch head and light bar with directional bar for sale if you need any replacement parts
Not to hijack this post, but I have a Vision that will not go into programming mode. Someone suggested checking J2 to see if it's cut or not-it isn't. The bar works fine with the amp and relay that I bought, I just can't play with the programming.
Visions were great, but I'd rather try to do word processing on an apple II than program one. When they work they have endless cool features and I really wish the smart rotator concept would have taken off across the industry. The Smart Vector was the compromise bar and that's the closest I have come to really owning a vision, but man do i love looking at other peoples' setups.
Figured it out. Its J2 in the amp/relay box, on the top board. I was looking at J2 in the brain in the bar. If its cut, you aren't programming.
