In need of Car Alarm!

Whatever you do, dont set it so sensitive that a mouse walking by sets it off. I had a neighbor when I lived in my apartment complex that had a parking spot right outside my bedroom window that had his alarm go off in every thunderstorm, anytime anyone walked by and grazed it, I mean everything. People around me used to set it off for fun, cause it was so easy. My point being, people will mess with your car more if they know they can set your alarm off with ease.

I have been installing them for the past 7 years.. Compustar is hands down the best company I have ever dealt with customer service and warranty wise... The product is also amazing... you can find the new compustar pro spread spectrum 1.25 mile range alarm/starters on ebay for 225 which is our COST or alarm only for about 190... I have the new pro system on my sebring and it is tits.. I also have the older spread spectrum paging unit on my cobra

compustar pro 2wss-a Yes. it is a 2 way system.. Range is 1.25 miles.. It can beep loudly and vibrate, or just vibrate to tell you something has been triggered.. It will also tell you WHICH sensor has been triggered (such as the door has been opened, trunk opened, hood opened, or the shock detector has been set off... If you hit the status button you can also check your battery voltage and the temperature inside the car (for remote start purposes)... If you want lo-jack, for another $350 or so, you can add a satellite tracking system called computrack which allows you to monitor the cars postition via satellite at any time... You can also use that system to send a text message to unlock the car if you cannot find your keys, or you can program a code into the knock sensor to unlock the car also without using the remote... Compustar is TITS.... Also available is a backup battery for the system and it carries a LIFETIME warranty..... DEI aka viper, python, clifford, etc doesn't have **** on compustar..

I work at best buy, and i'm deff gonna check out what TurboGt's talkin bout with the compustar... hadn't heard of them or really learned others besides the vipers.

if you choose a viper i'd get one with SST like the 5900 it got 1 mile range. it's R/s and Alarm... if you know someone good a putting them on get it cheaper online and have them do it. AT best buy, the alarm parts and labor can't be seperated so it's 499.99 i think for the 5900 plust $5 material fee. plus ball bearing tilt switch $10 and $5 in wire loom they have to sell you witha R/s Alarm install. $520 plus tax. $520 plus tax installed. that system would include, .. like the compustr.."tell you WHICH sensor has been triggered (such as the door has been opened, trunk opened, hood opened, or the shock detector has been set off... " but no batt voltage or temp sense inside the car.... to get that on Viper, Cliffor, or Python...all divisions of Directed Electronics you have to get the NEW Responder LE... which is everything that TurboGT said bout the compustar... vehicle temp sense for remote start ...
I've looked into the Responder LE pretty well and it's the sweetest Viper, Clifford, or Python... just the remotes are diff.
only downfall is it's only bout half mile range, but i believe is SST ...goes through buildings and poo.
