I need an ALARM.. Opinions PLEASE...
Well the time has come that I am very nervous about leaving my car anywhere so I am looking into buying an aftermarket alarm.
The Viper 800 ESP has tweeked my interest because it has a lot of options and seems to be pretty popular. I don't know pricing on it and couldn't find much with search function. Information on this alarm would be helpful (besides www.viper.com).
I don't know much about Clifford or any of the others, but if people would like to give some information and PRICING I'd greatly appreciate it.

I would suggest Clifford all the way. I've owned one on my old car and that thing was great. It has two ignition and fuel cutoffs and they are wireless so the thief cannot trace them. Also, the siren has a backup battery so that if the thief cuts the wire, it still wails. And you can add on to them making the system grow with your needs. They ususally start at about $499 installed.

alarms dont work!
They might deter a joyrider but they are easily passible in seconds.
If you are serious about keeping your car, get lojack!
If your still paranoid, wire in a kill switch yourself to the starter or ignition for under $20.

Check this out....
Click here. This is a great alarm. Lots of shock senors and the LCD remote is SWEET! My friend has it on his 2000 Maxima. Bought it from this site for $186 and paid $200 for a local shop to install it . I know the installation price is high but it has A LOT of feature to be connected and the alarm is already $300+ off so it;s not a bad deal.

I know that alarms have no real function, but lately at my apartment complex people's windows have been gettin bashed and stereos have been yanked. I want something like the Viper 800 that offers a lot of features, like window controls, keyless entry, and the possible airbag suspension controls as well.

Go with the Viper or Clifford alarm system. Both is owned by the largest aftermarket alarm corporation DEI. Viper has lots of features and very reliable. Just make sure you go to a competent installer. It makes it so much better.

I have the viper 800. Love it, got most of the bells and whistle's w/ it. All 4 windows go up and down, trunk, close my sunroof w/ it. could have gotten it to do more, but I couldn't think of anything. Oh yea...a proximity sensor is nice too

I was looking at alarms a few weeks back as I plan on getting one in the near future. A few months back someone broke into my car and tried stealing it ( I had an OLLDDDD DEI on it without the siren hooked up!!) They didn't get it but did enough damage. But at least they didn't get it. When I was looking around one shop recommended a clifford to me. One feature it had that I think is going to make me get it is called the "blackjack". Basically it prevents losing your car to car jacking or even when someone steals it by making you input a 4 digit code every time the door is opened. There's two tiny black buttons. You set it for a 4 digit code say... 2244. You press the left button 2 times then the right 4 times. (or something like that - i forget... it's late). If you don't do it in 10 seconds it beeps reminding you. if you don't do it in another 10 secs it shuts the car down. I like that =) Even if someone stole the car via car jacking or just stealing it while parked they won't get more than 20 seconds away before the car shuts down. The only downside is you have to do it everytime the car door is opened but hey - a small price to pay for security.
