ive read a bunch of threads about alarms and ppls opinions but im really leaning toward the viper 5900. can anyone tell me what features it comes with because i cant figure it out. i know it has remote start and turbo timer... and all that. but what i dont know is what kind of sensors does it have. i think it comes with shock sensors but what else, any microwave sensors or sound sensor or do i have to buy these separate??

 

doesnt somebody know, does it come with microwave sensors, shock and glass break sensors?

 

It comes with a shock sensor. Other sensors are extra.

 

****, i just found that out a few minutes ago. but i havnt looked into how much extra they cost yet...

 

ic its about $40 for the motion sensor, same for tilt also

 

Damn.... Is Pittsburgh really that bad? I would expect these type of countermeasures for Jersey or some parts of Cali but Pittsburgh.....???

 

What kind of tilt sensor? Most tilt sensors that I'm aware of are just a mercury switch, which you should be able to get for less than 10. Maybe they're more advanced now.

 

The DEI tilt sensors that I use to install many many moons ago were able to learn the position of the vehicle when armed, then trigger the alarm before any wheel was completely lifted off the ground. Never opened it up but I'm assuming it was a little more than just the standard open/close contact mercury switches that are installed under the hoods.

 

Yeah, now I kinda remember something like that. I had a mercury switch once hooked up to the door trigger and I think I forgot to put a diode with it and every time I went up a hill my dome lights would come on.

 

Better safe than sorry man. Trust me, the initial cost might scare some away, but it's worth it knowing that it can be just another thing a thief has to bypass to get your ride.

 

the viper 5900 is the newer lineup from viper with SST technology with 1 mile range. Included is only the shock sensor however you can purchase and *** on a prox sensor which sends out and RF signal when armed and if broken(Someone goes near your car or in it) warns them 2 times depending on how close then triggers the alarm after that. You can purchse a glass brake sensor which senses sound. Tilt sensor for someone trying to jack your wheel. You can get a battery backup that even if they cut the power still leaves the alarm powered up.
