anyone have any feedback on alarm systems that they have installed? any suggestions or comments on some of them? I was thinking about getting an viper. But there are so many different models

 

i love my viper 5901 with my iphone smart start module

 

Check Autopage. For the price your paying, its not a bad deal with a built in TT and color screen 2 way pager.

 

Compustar Pro

 

what are you looking for in the alarm ? and how much do you want to spend ? some of the features listed already like built in turbo timer and remote start with the ipod/touch app are good features but are you looking for security or just something that has a pretty screen and only works when you are in walking distance to your car i have bought my share of alarms coming from hondas

 

I for compustar includes turbo timer on the 2 way Pager

 

I have a Clifford G5 matrix with 2way pager/turbo timer/remote start it's been working flawsley since day 1 .... I dont recommend it if you have a small battery kit because the small blinking LED light will eat up your small battery charge

 

does the viper 5901 have a built in turbo timer?

 

I gots a viper, entry and breakage with 2 way pager and screen. Have had minimal issues with it. No TT included with mine, but love the pager effect and the automatic arming. I can not seem to get the auto arm to trigger itself off the ignition, instead, the auto arm only works after a door is opened and closed after the ignition is turned off. So basically, the thief will arm it on their way out of my car
Get a TT if you dont already have one....I hope it arm automatically after the countdown and ignition turns off.

 

The 5901 should have the turbo timer option.

 

I would imagine that it does myself.

The 5901 is what I would go with.

 

Holy moly... Iphone smart start huh... Where have I been... hahahah.... I gotta get one now... I have been all about the copustars for a while now since the range is incredible... How far do you go with the viper 5901?

 

With the IPhone attachment, wherever you get cell service. Or so they say. Nice to get updates and be able to control your car from anywhere, but sort of a pain in the *** to have to pay like 15 dollars a year (after the first free).

The Iphone part is pretty cool though, now only if we had keyless...

I install mine on Tuesday.

 

I checked the viper alarm website and don't see it saying anything about the iphone at all??? Or am I just overlooking it? and if so is it only compatable with the iphone?

It is an add on to some Viper alarm systems. 499 for the entire system including the Iphone app and add on, 299 for the add on to put it on another Viper alarm, check to make sure its compatible though. You can find it cheaper some places, I bought mine local from a dealer and got it for 220.
