After reading so many post about people's EVO's getting violated, I was thinking I should get an alarm before anything happens to mine. On my Rsx I had The VIPER 791XV. This was an nice alarm. Thinking of buying the same alarm. Or should I go a different rout. I know Clifford RSX 3.5 is also nice. Any other alarms out there that are nice, in the not too expensive range.

 

Well it all depends on your exact needs for the alarm. Preventing it from being stolen, the goods inside, need a little more info on what you want out of it. Features like, able to do a trunk release, window mods, proximity sensor, tilt sensors, glass break sensor, turbo timer, two way paging, starter kill.

Let me know and i can help you further. Also, what price range, and who will be doing the install. Most DEI products require professional installation. And, is the LED color out of the box a big deal?

I've helped a few other guys out on these forums, and according to them gave them great advice. On a further note, i'm a mobile electronics installer, and i do it for a living, so i am not just guessing on the products as i work with them every day.

 

i got a compustar 2w900fmr on my evo good stuff

 

for the most part, any DEI alarm is pretty good. a plus side is that the EVO/Lancer is one of the easiest cars to do an alarm on. I put a viper 791 on all my cars and works great.

 

Yeah, you can't go wrong with VIPER

 

Compustar

 

+1

 

Shameless plug #403.

 

Got a VIPER 791XV too.

 

I am also interested in an alarm for my evo which did not come with one unlike my other cars(yes, my 1988 sigma came with a factory alarm). I have been searching and my local installer carries only viper and audiovox. He recommended the viper 791vx. Is this a good product? I am interested in the 2 way paging, glass break sensor, tilt sensor proximity sensor and turbo timer. didn't it come with an immobilizer for the starter standard? is the turbo timer a difficult install as I have noticed being posted before? thanks!

 

+1 on compustar.... I have the [2W900FM-A] and you cant go wrong with the 3000ft range and turbo timer option.

 

as far as installing the 791 on an EVO/Lancer, its easy. the built-in turbotimer feature is accessable by pressing a couple buttons on the remote. as far as installing extra accessories like you stated (glass sensor/tilt) cake as well.

 

would the turbotimer effect the alarm, iam sure you can't arm it with the engine still running. do you have to wait untill it turns off to arm it. Iam currently looking at the compustar so any other upgrades available with that alarm?

 

i posted this info in the thread you're referring to...

check out www.asianwolf.co.za

their top of the range has everything..
tap sensor, turbo timer, lcd display.. etc etc etc... even takes pictures or the person tampering with the vehicle.

my favourite, is the remote start.. its also fully armed while remote start and turbo timed.
