$400 for viper 791vx or clifford rsx 3.5 is a very good deal. i paid $435 for the clifford rsx 3.5 with installation because i wanted the remote start function. in order to have the remote start function you'll need to pay a little extra for a module and it'll also cost you a spare key....$400 plus installation for any of the two alarms is a killer deal.

 

have an rsx 3.5 and i'm pretty happy with it so far.... paging function is nice... turbo timer function is convenient!

 

^^ agree...but i'm just a little dissapointed of the range...

 

I think we're misreading his post...from what I see, installation alone is $400.

 

paying 400 for these alarms is a complete rip off.

 

If the store is selling to you at near cost, than your prices are about right. Most places want to mark up their products 100% over the price they bought em for.

Off to show and shine....

so how could we get those prices closer to the price you mention. maybe someone could start a gruop buy to get better prices?

 

I'm in. I need remote start and turbo timer function and paging and all that. Anyone know what the keyring modules look like? I saw a viper (newest) and the keyring thing was a big box...bigger than the older model viper control. I'd really be interested in what the control modules look like for size and if anyone knows of any comparisons (better, worse) and what other options there are.

 

ok let me clear things up.cliffords alarm total $400 free intstallation.i forgot which model.i'm just gonna go ahead make an appointment when i get my car back from the shop.it looks like this.

 

I am not too much into alarms now. To me they are nothing but noise makers. Nobody really pays attention to a car whose alarm turns on. If somebody really wants the car, they will get it no matter what you do.

 

that's the clifford rsx 3.5. $400 is a good price with installation. but i think that the module for the remote start function will cost you another $35-$50. fyi: some shop will not install the remote start on a manual car so make sure you ask. remember to bring a spare key when you go in and the installation takes 2-5 hours.

 

avantguard 5!!!

 

Has anyone looked into the Ravelco alarm? I was going to get it but the dealer refused to install it so I went with my Viper.

i wouldn't install ravelco in my car...their homepage says it all about the company.
