was thinking of having a Viper 971 installed there and was wonderiing if anyone had thier alarm installed there and thier expieriences with them. I know everryone speaks of Don but im thinking that if there are any problems it seems it would be tough to get a hold him to correct any problems with the alarm if any. Any feed back on best buy would help thanks.

 

i got mine installed at best buy, they were really quick on installing it, and did a good job, but if your thinking of getting one, shop around....,because the price that best buy gives it for, circuit city could give 10% percent off on their price if you show a price quote from best buy
hope this helps

 

yes this helps thank you, i was wondering if they do good work or not. did you get the window and tire sensors? are they really sesitive?. How do you like the range on the remote start? I have a prestige alarm and its horrible! i have to go right next to the car to unlock my doors with the remote . i dont know if the tinted windows affect the range or not. do you know if the range on the Viper are affected by the tinted windows? thanks again.

 

no actually the tint doesn't bother the range, i got 5% black tint on mine (cops hate it) and it doesn't bother it, they got the window sensors on but i didn't do the tires cause i got those special lug nuts that you have to use a key to unlock them, but as far as window sensors, they work like a charm, and range is really good on mine, i could but 1/4 mile away and still unlock my doors, yea prestige does really blow, my friend has one and he has to be right next to the car to unlock or lock the doors

 

Have you ever dealt with Don, you’re in NJ go pay him a visit.

Don can be hard to reach if you’re not currently a customer. But once you are he won’t let you down. He’s very professional and deal with his customers well.

 

people come from all around to go to don and your in jersey and your not gonna go see him thats a shame send him a pm and call him he'll help you out

 

cant say i have tried to get in touch with him. Have heard a lot of great things do you know if you get the same warranty from Don that like a place like best buy will offer?

 

Don is an authorized vendor for DEI, you wont get any better of a warranty from best buy.

PM him.

 

thank you for the input. i just pm himed i guessing he can get the parts for cheap hopefully.

 

I didnt see a PM from you...

But Im here and yes you will have a warranty. LoL several people from Woodbridge Bestbuy have me do their work. Feel more comfortable now?

 

Best Buy offers complete solutions based on customers lifestyle needs. So if you need you equipment installed talk to one of the associates and they will recommend you an installation package based on your lifestyle. Best Buy uses the latest technology and tools to ensure a fast and high quality installation. Best Buy's install associates go through detailed training to ensure you that you are in the hands of professionals. Best of all Best Buy has a warranty on all of their work so if something doesn't work right just bring it back in. I don't know if all thats true or not I just sell their TV's... Oh and don't forget about the 30 day pricematch guarantee 60 days if you recently bought an HDTV!!!!

 

Hmmm sounds enticing, unfortunately not all true. Half of their installers are hacks and another large percentage doesnt know their ass from their elbow without a book and 3 'associates' to help them.

 

lol yeah its the same thing with the best buy stores over here too!!!

 

lol hey Don i sent you a pm hopefully you got this one. thanks for all the info guys.

 

Still no PM bud, try this..

best buy doent know what they are doing most of the time.... people dont try to deffend them i worked there and i know how stuff runs.. u have a bunch of retards with soldering irons slapping stuff together...... we got about 40% of the cars back for another appointment to fix what wasnt working after the initial install... i dunno about other BB's but all the ones in the chicago area dont know the first thing about intallls...

 

i just sent another one let me know if you got it.

 

replied already sir.

 

best buy is a corporate chain who hire morons that have no clue what they are doing.. the business I'm in I wouldnt even know where to start with the over priced horror stories of best buy

I've delt with Don before and nothing but top shelf, grade A service from this well respected veteran org member .... how the heck do you figure you wouldnt be able to get a hold of him?..hes a got a phone, runs a shop, and answers to pm's promptly ... theres no contest .. Id personally be insulted if you went anywhere other than Dons shop

 

I can second that statement.

 

hah..tell me about it..they F*ed up my airbag somehow when installing my amp/subs and they said they were not reliable for that and were giving me BS. my airbag light started blinking when I got my system installed....

 

this is why we have the org here,thats why i asked questions about best buy before i deal with them. and thanks for the input i have been able to get in touch with Don.

 

hey im trying to pm you but i cant since im new to this.. How much do you charge to intall a viper 5900?? on 97 max? email me the qutoe to dominicanstylz07@msn.com and im from jersey too

 

I work at bestbuy for the discount and you're right most of the installers don't know their @ss from a hole in the the ground..

But can you get a Viper alarm for 60% off?.. F550Maranello, they upped the discount on certain things btw, and lowered it on others unfortunately.

 

hey i got mine for 200 bucks with tax.. so i aint complaning... i also got the pioneer 50 inch plasma for 3200 last year when they were selling it for 5k....

 

i know somebody who sells the viper 5900 for 200 brand new in the box. Thats the pager alarm one that has a 1 mile range

 

Then maybe thats where you should go, I will not be anywhere near that price.

 

You get what you pay for, Don does quality work and he’s been on the org since around the beginning of time. If you want it done right the first time you know who to call.

 

how much does he charge to install the viper 5900 ona 97 maxima? installation only

 

$150 and you will have Zero warranty...

 

you mean that you are getting the parts on your own? this is why there is zero warranty im thinking? any feedback Don?

 

Thats correct, theres no 'over the counter' sales of Viper,Python or Clifford.

 

gotcha! thats why im getting it through you. i sent you a pm by the way.
