What would you guys reccomend? I would like a remote start too.. I've looked at the Vipers and the Hornets and they seem really good.. I just wanted other opinions.. Thanks

 

Python 871XP (w/remote start) works well... cost is $375 (including install) at Circuit City.

 

I haven't looked at any of the pythons yet.. 375 isn't too bad either.. Ill look into that.. Thanks for the input

 

Python & Viper are pretty much the same thing... I think even the remotes are interchangeable for certain models (like the 871XP). Both are made by Directed Electronics. You can visit their website http://www.directed.com/Products/Security/Default.aspx to compare.

 

Compustars are nice alarms as well. Similar features to the Vipers, but with more advertised range.

 

I don't really need range.. Id just like an alarm.. And to be able to warm my car up befor I get in in the mornings

 

i had a clifford 850 with blackjack. it was cool. had all the features u asked about. and that little 2 button code pad as cool for awhile but then it got annoying. so good and bad

 

I've heard mixed reviews on the cliffords

 

Just curious how many miles you have on your car? I've called Mitsu customer service 'cuz I was about to buy a remote start for a friend's new lancer & they said that the remote start could potentially void the powertrain warranty if the problem is traced to the remote start unit. I had it in my old car ('03 OZ Rally) & had absolutely no problems. I'm just giving a helpful warning. If you're past your powertrain warranty (believe it's either 30k or 36k miles) then go for the remote start w/o hesitation. I don't want to see you lose a few thousand trying to fix an engine issue over a $400 remote start system, if it's not installed correctly.

 

Just went bu circuit city to talk with them about what they had.. Thw d bag said the 871 would be $380 for the system + $180 for install

 

I got 130k on it

 

I just talked to a local guy at Circuit City & he said that the install price is figured into the alarm price, but you'd have to buy a component for $50. In my area, w/everything necessary (including 6% tax), it would cost $450 or so, not the BS $560 the guy told you. You should talk to the manager, or go to Best Buy & get a similar Viper system. Best Buy says install included http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....&type=category on 771VXR (similar to Python's 871XP).

 

Circuit City website also says install included in price:

Awesome thank you... yeah that circuit city really sucks.. They screwed me over on a tv during christmas

 

I used to work at a Circuit City & we (me not a whole lot) were some lazy bastards. People would just say bullsh*t so they wouldn't have to deal w/people (say something's not in stock, just so they wouldn't have to look for it). Good luck though!
