I'm looking into getting an Alarm system for my SE. Which one, and please add comments on Pros and Cons from your knowledge.

 

With two-way pager, 791xv
Without two-way pager, 560xv

Viper/Clifford/Python are all the same, but Viper is the most common hence why they can be found online cheap and such
(insert comment by orgers about warranty but he already knows about this from the other thread)

I know a lot of people have after market alarms in their cars.... Anyone else....

 

i want to get one with the remote starter, but they are expensive and hard to install.....

 

I'm getting the Viper 791 for $229 and Kpr10is is going to install it for me....

 

Why not just get it from him? Or at his store? A lifetime warranty is a horrible thing to waste

 

i dont think CC can get the 791's...i asked him and he said no because i want one cheap.

 

i have the viper 791. it works great, 1/4 mile range on the two way remote, remote start. you could probably get it for under $300 online, but it you want to take advantage of the lifetime warranty, you need to buy it and have installed by an authorized dealer. the remote only has a one year warranty though

 

what are the chances that an alarm goes bad in less than a year.....???? if it happens I will think about a way to get it fixed....

 

go for the viper it is the best.

 

get a prestige one with 2 way pager, there cheaper and my neigbhor says all alarms are made from the same place they just put different names on them. I mean he works for LO-Jack and all is instillations are all prestige

 

Buahahahahahahhahahaha funniest **** Ive heard all week.Your neighbor obviously doesnt know much

 

prestige= swap shop flea market brand.

 

i have the phython it works great...when it comes to arming your brand new car price shouldn't be the reason not to get it....keep it yours keep it safe...

 

so dont go with prestige? sheit he was giving me a good price, he did my dads and it lasted about 4years now. hes giving me a great price, prestige isnt garbage they work fine and i havent heard of anything like the brains burning up and malfunctioning like some cliffords

 

I have had my Clifford matrix alarm for about 3 years,used in both my maxima's and I have no problems with it,ever. It's not the 2 way or remote start though.

 

Go for it then, and when something happens PLEASE dont post about it.

 

why not my post count would be higher than yours then lol


ok so thats another thing on my list that i have to get done from you, o btw my boy gave me a 7.2inch color screen and it has a fm modulator the thing is it has no power wires just red white and yellow rcas, how the hell do i get it to turn on?

 

I have the Viper 690xv w/ proximity sensors....knock on wood 3 yrs counting my original headlights are intact....IN NEW JERSEY

 

Are u sure all of them are rca's? 1 of them might be a plug that a power adapter plugs into.

 

yes one is a black plug as well what does it do?

 

Good thread hijack 2 da max.

CC doesnt carry Viper so I cant get that, we will be carrying Python in about 2 weeks, so if you want the 881xp (791xv equivalent) or another Python, stop by your local CC...but if you dont have CC install it I doubt theyll give you warranty on it, so then I couldnt install it unless I was at work. One of the guys at my store used to work at one of the orlando stores, so I can ask him who would do the best job on this install if you decide to go that route. Im not sure about pricing on our Python stuff yet, I wont know til we get it in stock in about 2 weeks.

Just remember to buy rechargeable AAA battery if you're going w/Viper 791 XV.

 

DEI>*

I have a Clifford.

 

I'm planning to get one of these.

http://www.compustar.org/security_with_remote_start.htm

 

I also plan on going with one of these .

 

You soo disappoint me sometimes Juan.

 

Why is that Don.........

 

A Compustar Over a DEI? Why? Please just tell me why..

 

You should know better than that Don ..... I should have made myself more clear. I plan on going with either the Viper 791X or the Clifford version, the Matrix 3.5 I believe it is .

 

Ahhh okie then. Actually go for the 50.5X, newer version of the 3.5.

 

Im still confused as to why so many people chose the Viper and not the Python? Is name association that big?

 

probably going to go with a CodeAlarm CA630. fraction of the cost of any DEI product, solid unit, and my boss has been installing them for 20+ years now with 0 problems. Its non two-way, but i dont care, i just want the alarm/remote start. plus you dont need to add any relays, everything is built in to the unit

gotta get it done soon though, they're slowly being bought out by Audiovox.- YUCK!

 

douple post ftl.

 

triple post ftmfl. stupid internet.

 

ummm...theyve Been owned by Audiovox.

 

not completely yet don, i didnt think. most audiovox crap dies after a few days.

just the two way ones are right now, with the screen on the remote.

 

Thanks for the info Don .

 

how are cimestoppers?? i mean the name should scare ppl away..lol

 

I'm the odd ball out of the group. I went with the AstroFlex AstroStart 5204. Probably around $500-550ish. You pay a lot, you get a lot for as long as you own your car.

Reasons:
Say what you will (I'm not from Fargo) but Fargo hits some crazy *** temperatures and its nice knowing that all of our major dealerships use AstroStarts on all of there vehicles. The top model like the one I own does have an alarm as well. May not be the best in terms of alarm features, but with add-ons etc, I clearly love it. 2 Way feedback, hit a button and your A/C is set to 60 degress, remote start, valet mode, car finder, 2 remote, leather case for the LCD screen remote, auto start at certan temperatures (say below 0) etc. And it uses a AAA battery!
