alarm was the first upgraded ive done to the evo because i wanted a peice of mind. we know that if someone wants ur car bad enough, nothing will stop them. i love the alarm system i have because it also has other converience features like auto start and turbo timer. i also had a solanoid put in so i can pop the trunk with the alarm. heres a pic of what i have, and if u have seen similar design from viper and such..its because theyre all made by DEI.

Dont believe any company that says the alarm works 6000 feet range. Yeah you might get that in a dessert where there is no obstruction of view of the car and no other interferences. The realistic is about 2-3 city blocks. Mine in downtown Philly works about 2 city blocks and my car is in a garage

exactly, they test in open range area but if youre in the city with a lot of descripency, u wont get that of a distance.

How reliable if Compustar? I am thinking of getting the 2wss-a for my Evo. I was looking on Ebay and saw one for like $240. But, of course, Compustar won't guarantee it.

The Top of the line alarm is great a little better range but there is a delay when you hit the button and the car to respond due to the digital freq, and anti hoppin coding. I hope you dont install it your self it is not a very easy alarm to install alot of work. Better off goin to an authorized dealer and have them install it. It should cost like 500+ range for the top of the line installed.

i know the system i have isnt the best system out there but its decent enough and yes i agree...very complex to install. it cost me $350 for a good install job, with that price i also got a solanoid put in to pop the trunk and a convenient trunk pop button next to the acd button. it took them a while too for a thorough job..dropped the car at 9am and picked it up at 6pm. and yup, my delay time is 5 seconds
