i am looking to get a alarm on my car i don't need remote start or anything just a alarm....what is a good brand to look for and any special features i should look into getting lloking to spend 200 - 300 on it so give me some ideas thx

 

200-300 isnt going to get you much. I think most people agree that Viper is one of the best alarm systems. But its like 500 not including installation which you should get professionally done.

 

.. I have the Viper 791NX which is one of their Top models.. and $300 covered me. Yes if you went to a professional outlet the 791 would run you about $600+ installed. I bought the alarm itself from amazon.com ($230 shipped), I then went to a local install shop and had them put it in professionally for me for $100. This alarm allows you to add any Directed brand module (there is i believe about 40+ different modules you can add, such as automated windows.. press a button on the remote and you can make your windows go up and down , basically just cool stuff like that and of course better security features.) So all in all i spent $320 on a top of the line alarm.


Here is a pic of my 2 way remote.

this is a trick question!!! there is no such thing as a good car alarm!!!

 

We sell the basic viper alarm for 269 plus another dollar to install it. That will work fine for you.

 

Viper brand. Nuff said or you can take it up with the bananna in the back of my avatar.

 

i agree about viper. there are many models in the $300 category...here in bama i can get a viper 5000 alarm for $350 installed. i should be getting that within 2 months.

 

Why not get Lojack? I heard it not only gives the tracking system service but you can get add ons on your factory alarm or any other aftermarket alarms. Its a bit pricey (around 600-700) but if you know a friend who just bought one you ask them for the $200 rebate they got with the manual. Its like a referral program they have.

 

you plan on ever spewing some useful info into this forum?


anywho, I agree with these guys, Viper seems to be the way to go from what I hear. But damn 600+?! I didnt realize it was that expensive

 

where are located? we sell the viper 350 installed for $285, and if you came down to where i work and told me you were coming i coukd hook you up. let me know
