Looking for a car alarm and remote start with turbo timer

I've tried searching for some remote starters with turbo timers and car alarms but they go a few years back. Im looking for one that is more up to date and is a 2008-2010 model. Any suggestions? Then after I made up my mind, I would be looking for a place to get it installed. I am from the north end. Thanks in advance throw out some models and I'll look it up and do my research, just I don't know where to start.

I had a CompuStar in my FD years ago, and loved it.

As an aside, turbo timer = waste of money.

i paid 175 for my alarm system, has 2 way paging, lcd screen, remote start, turbo timer then paid 200 for installation, Francis can give you the installers info.

I got a omega i3801 or something.. i think they are discontinued but hell it was a steal of a deal.

Compustars come with turbo timers On that note, I never leave mine on. It's a waste of gas haha... I just have it on the setting where it shuts down after I close the door.

Compustar was great when they came out, but they have not updated there technology in a while. They also take about twice as much wiring as a DEI alarm. Python, Clifford and Viper are very reliable.

look into alpine units, Josel. I've been very happy with their last couple of generations of decks for sure. There might be other brands that come with more add-on chunks by default, but I think you'll be happy with something from Alpine.

I've had a compustar and a viper and they both have had turbo timers. I would have to say that the compustar is cheaper in price but they have good service, they work great! I do like my viper but you get more for the money with compustar and they work well. with all that said, I still like the viper better because of the worry free reliability and pure trust factor that comes with a viper alarm! like i said i never had any issues with the compustar but if one ever did come up i think i would rather have the viper alarm.
