Hi... I recently bought lancer evo se.. thinking about upgrade alarm/security system asap... I just can't decide between compustar or lojack... what are the pros and cons each system? and If i go for compustar which option is best fit for evo because there are so many options to choose from.... Any recommendation???? thank you for your time....

 

Check and see if LoJack covers your area. They don't have "coverage" in all areas of the US.

 

thanks for reply... I live in MD.... yea lojack covers my area...

 

Ive got the newest compu-star system and i love it, its got a lot of fuctions... if you have a question just pm me...

 

I am sort of biased with Compustar as a lot of our employees have it on their vehicles at my workplace and really like them. We sell DEI, Astrostart, and Compustar for refrence.

 

both are good options you cant really go wrong

 

i just got my all four of my wheels stolen off my car.. so def looking into alarm now.. which compustar system would u guys recommend??

 

What do you consider a good installed price for the Compustar so I know if I'm being bent when I go in for a quote?

 

one of the best Compustars out for start/alarm is the P2WSSAS with a 1mile range or P2WSSA for just ALARM. Both are 2 way page back systems. If you are looking for something a little cheaper and a little less range (approx. 3000ft), the P2W900FMS/AS/A (starter/alarm starter/alarm) is a good choice.

As far as a good price, our shop installs the p2w900fms for base $399 +$100 extra for alarm install. There are additional mods needed for some models of vehicles on the starter side of things.

If customers are just doing car alarms, the p2wssa is $600 installed and p2w900fma, $400

This should give you a good idea and obviously different shops have different prices.

 

might want to look into additional tilt sensors, proximity sensors, etc as well for added security.

 

if i invest in a compustar.. do i have to remove my turbo timer.. am guessing the compustar has TT built in it .. right?

 

most of the Compustar 2ways do...time delayed shut-off

 

i have a compustar P2W900FM-AS and i love it. remote start turbo timer starter kill trunk and hood pins. Its frickin awesome. one of the best investments ever. (besides the evo itself of course)

 

I have a CompuStar 2W900FMR and i love it, the best thing about it is that even though im not home i will know if someone set my alarm off cause it will beep until i hit a button on my remote. I would recommend putting extra 2 horns, thats what i did, plus piezo siren inside the cabin. When my alarm goes off, it wakes the whole neighborhood.

 

you can monitor the car from home with the installation of compustar rite?? or is there a separate cost for all that? if there is can someone tell me the total...thinking of getting it
