Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior alarm system help

im looking to get an alarm installed on my car and i dont know much about them so what kind is good to get and im looking for a decent price? tell me about them all all that stuff

thanks in advance

i'd get the new viper alarm/starter..cost me $400 total for parts and installed at my local audio shop. Well not on my celi but had put on my 03 civic.

get the clifford they are really reliable. a little bit expensive but good products.

CompuStar

I got the Clifford RS2.5X.

It has the 2way technology with the little keychain deal that shows your car on it. It uses a better chip then the viper does, and it uses only 1 were as the viper uses 2 and if it gets dropped your focked.

I love mine, I dont have start because I have a 6 speed.

I got mine for $160 and install for free (you will never find this deal) i got some hookups

Retails for like $399 at bestbuy

k so im lookin at 400 for the system, how much do places usually charge to install? also what kind of goodies do theese alarms have??? like keyless entry and al lthat? thanks

clifford has keylesss entry, start, two way alarm, trunk release, and you can get like a modual to roll down your windows or things like that if you want.

Install takes like 4 hours and may cost up to like $150 or so.

ok, im looking for something that will go off when someone tries to mess with my business,unlock my windows, and has a panic button thats all i need, that narrow it down any?

If you bang your fist on my car, it can go off.

Also, with the 2way remote, when your alarm is going off, your remote will either vibrate or beep, you set what you want.

And it defintialy has a panic button.


The sound when you lock and unlock is sweet, BTW

How about the Viper 791 XV. I hear it's a nice alarm. Anyone have it? How good is it compared to others?

clifford is definitely quality and has various models with a range of benefits...

i got the clifford g5, but i want one that pages me and autostarter? anyway of adding something that does that? i know you can add autostarter to g5 but iono bout the page

i think ill stop at best buy next time i go to town and check out the one gtsbytrd was talking about THANKS!!

Same thing as Clifford

Clifford uses 1 chip in the remote, where viper uses 2. Clifford is less pron to breaking when its dropped!

We sell Viper at Circuit City (where i work now) and my previous job (best buy) has the clifford. I still got the hookups there.

RS2.5X doesn't have start, but has everything else
RS3.5X has start with everything else

i have the new clifford rs3.5. the remote is tight because its carbon fiber look to it. but its expensive good thing i use to work for best buy.

CompuStar is the BOMB !!!
