ive been looking around and ive been contemplating on buying a alarm system and i dont no where and wut kind of system i should get i dont want a real basic cheep one but i also dont want 2 spend 500 on it i was wondering where and wut kind i should get ive also have looked most of them come with auto start and i also wouldnt mind haveing that here in the cold wheather lol well if andone has a suggestion on what and where i should get one ill b very apperciative of it thanx

 

With auto start, you must have an auto trans. I got a cheapo CodeAlarm, and it's been good actually. No issues to mention; Circuit City did the install which now that I look back at it I could've done it. LOL

 

It is recommended that you have auto i think. I have heard of man transmissions with auto start, though i have never seen one. I would just make sure you ALWAYS put the ebrake on, and not start it when you werent looking at it. Though it is a risk.

I dont know how you would bypass the clutch unless it is a switch like a stoplight switch, that registers when you push it in electronically.

Any way i had one of these, and if you put it in yourself, it is pretty reasonably priced. Easy to install as well. Auto start and alarm. ---> http://www.commandoalarms.com/itm30032.htm

Has the 2 way pager on it, that tells you if your door is open, or your car is bumped. Works through the back of most stores, not in malls.

 

actually my cousin has a honda si and she has an auto start... she said they had to bypass the clutch but i really dont know how.. but its been done..

 

Yeah, you are correct...you can install an auto-start alarm on a 5/6 sp; but if you don't install it yourself, good luck finding a retail establishment to do it for you! CC definitely won't, I asked.

 

well i have an automtic so the starter will be ok so i dont rly gotta worry about that wish i had a manual tho for other reasons

 

i have a compustar alarm and start..its a pretty good one..got it installed by a place called "sound decisions" in racine wisconsin..$350 give or take..

and when i was lookin for new cars i asked the guy if they can do manual trans..they said yes and told me how...i forget exactly but you hafta do something every time you get out of your car if you want the auto start to work..kind of sounded like a pain..but worth when the weather gets as bad as its been around here lately (below 0 fer the last few days)

 

Well, with my Compustar, I have to put the car in neutral, footbrake on, and pull up the e-brake. The brain unit will start making a sound, telling you that it is ready to be in reservation mode. Then turn off the car, and even once the key is out, the car will run. Once you exit the car, and close the door, the car will shut off. Then you can remote start when you need it. I guess that is one way that you never forget the car in a gear....

 

^Sounds like a good method. I chose CC to do my alarm install for two reasons...one : because I bought it there and they worked me deal. Second : they offer to swap the alarm out of the old car and into the new one free of charge. So within the next couple months this'll come in handy! Bye bye lancer, hello something else with more power! LOL
