i dont know much about which would be best or what is the best brand. A local guy here charges me 420 for a viper with that pager thingy and remote start, with only one control. any input and opinions please...

 

Anything DEI: Viper, Clifford, Python, Avital, Hornet, etc, etc.

 

DEI is good, easy installs, lots of good extras. I have also worked with code alarm, they are just as good less extras, but better on the $$.

 

how good is the excalibur 2000 remote start alarm?

 

Viper 5902 and Smart Start along with a few add-ons is probably the best, and is what I'm going with. Smart Start is optional, but nice if you have a Iphone.

 

i have a viper with remote start, window roll down, and trunk release. i have the 2 way and 1 way pager. i love it. i can change the setting of sensitvity of the alarm so if a civic starts up infront of me it will go off

 

Isn't the trunk release option just for cars without the electric release already?

 

thats not what my installer told me. he is a good friend and i got a discount and i know he wouldnt screw me. i think it has something to do with them removing the factory alarm and being able to use the button on the new remote

 

I see what it is...The trunk release kit is infact a solenoid that I'm guessing can be used for a car without a power trunk release, but Viper says that not all cars WITH a power trunk release can be operated by the Viper without the optional solenoid. I guess our power trunk release can't be used with the DEI alarms like alot of cars can?

 

thats the one i was looking at on ebay....do u know if u can also set the sensitivity settings on it??

 

yea thats pretty much what he told me. i guess its just vipers way of getting more money. but i have to say i love the window rolldown add on. i just roll them down, pop the trunk and take off the t-tops. its pretty nice.

 

i have the viper with the 2 way pager, remote start, aux for windows down, trunk release, and i love it! great alarm, i have mine set real sensitive

 

I would get the accessory that lets you record your voice when it goes off. "Back off my car motherf*cker!" haha. I'm thinking of doing that when I get my Viper alarm and I was thinking of wiring up some strobes when it goes off to get some more attention. People hopefully won't **** with it then.

 

me and a buddy of mine were just talking about that rofl. he is doing a dave chapell saying on his rofl. the whole i got guns skit rofl

 

which one is it exactly?
