Car Alarms?

[7D3mach]

Hey everybody, what type of car alarms are you guys using? What type of features are the best? I know nothing about alarms but need something to keep my car safe. Cost isn't really a factor but it has to be something that I can find in Saskatchewan. That being said, where would be a good place to get an alarm?

Thanks in advance,
Kyle

I currently have an Alpine. I am thnking of getting a new Clifford Matrix 3.5

Check out the Viper 690WV it's a two-way security system (that means it has a pager remote thing). It retails for $449.99 installed at Future Shop.

Yeah that is what the Clifford has too.

Except you can add a GPS locator, it has a car starter, like 5 or 6 channels to roll the windows up or down, open the trunk ect.

It looks like a cool alarm.

The Viper 791 has a remote starter and on both models you can add GPS and has the ability add even more features. The 791 retails for $589.99 installed.

Thanks for the replies guys. Someone else has told me about the Viper 690WV and it seems like a good choice. Has anybody else used it? Also, does Future Shop have to install it or can I just do it myself? I've also heard some good things about the Clifford as well though. The two-way system might be the best for me.

I'm pretty sure that we have to install them. But our installers are awesome.

Ya, I trust the installers just I don't really want to make a trip to Regina at 10mpg

I have the Viper671XV 2-way alarm only,with LED remote. I went with Viper cause,well they're the biggest and the best in my opinion(they bought out CLifford about 2 years ago). I like the idea of the LED remote cause I've seen alot of LCD type remotes come back with busted displays. I installed the system myself(keep in mind I'm an MECP certified installer and have worked professionally in Car Audio for about 8-9 years). There's alot of "weird" wiring when you start getting into window control,trunk release,locks,etc so I'd say get it done by a pro if you're not sure. Melfort is kinda close to Yorkton isn't it? There's a couple places in Yorkton that could do it for ya. As for where to buy it,well.......I'm a little biased(I work at Vision's in Regina). If you're ever here and just want to buy the alarm I can guarantee you a great price.Or if you want to book an install yada yada yada,call me at the store 585-7711.

And the Visions, Future Shop debate begins! We have the lowest price guarantee so we'll beat any price by 110% of the difference! That's all I'm gonna say about the Future Shop, Vision debate. It's totally up to you about where you buy.

But 10 mpg HOLY crap!

Yeah looking at them now i see all of them are the same. Clifford, Viper, Python. Just a different name really.

Thanks guys. Looks like I might have to make a trip to Regina after all. After seeing all of the Mustangs there last week it seems like a good place to go. I'm not sure where to buy from but I'm a couple months away from needing an alarm yet anyway.
