best alarm system?

damn that blows. i guess no remote start for me
The new viper 2 way alarms are supposed to be pretty kick ass. I was supposed to get the first one when they came in to my local audio shop, but the date kept getting pushed back when they came in I was back at school. I still need to get it, but I would definatly go DEI for sure, viper or cliffard
Auto-start in a manual would end up kinda like this

It is possible to put a remote start on a 5-speed, BUT in most states Illegal... there are very few installers that will do it. The video above is one of the reasons why. There are also higher end Compustars and DEI starters that are made to be 5speed that have a starter kill and anti-grind
I dont recomment attempting an alarm with remote start or even an alarm unless you are confiendent in your wiring skills and are comfortable with being on your back for 4+ hours. I highly recommend taking it to a REPUTABLE shop with MECP certified installers (most BestBuys and CC's have one or 2 certified guys and the rest are just learning) Do you homework on the shop, ask around. OR PM me for a recommendation depending on where you live

one, you can be eighteen and an installer. you might not be the best ever... maybe some of the other guys will have to do more complicated s**t, but you can still be one. 
two, they don't want remote starts on manuals 'cuz people are f**king retarded and don't understand what has to be done if you want it on your 5spd.
viper is ftw. anything DEI, really. compustars are expensive, but they're supposed to be nice, too. though.. once you start adding components, if you add components, any alarms gets to be pricey.

i don't mean how to install it. i mean the people who own the cars. so it doesn't go driving away on you?
yea i think im gonna go with the viper 791, seems like the popular choice. im gonna go tomorrow and see what they say.
The 791 has most of what you need. I recommend considering a proximity sensor add on, piezo interior siren, BUT MOST OF ALL if you are going to put one add on to a car alarm, get the generic DEI backup battery siren, it has a built in rechargeable battery that charges off the cars electronics and has a special cut key that is one of a kind for it, and if a thief cuts the cord from that backup battery siren to the alarm unit it will continue going off for 20 to 30 minutes. Model number of it is DEI 515R00Civ1c said:
i got the compustar 2wss as off ebay. i installed it myself and it wasnt that hard
the only thing i dont like is that you cant lock and unlock from a mile away like they claim but if your alarm goes off and your a mile away the pager will alert you.
ive heard amny good things about dei products. i was gunna go with the viper 791 but i saw the range on the compustar and jumped on it

one mile range is retarded. so, goodie, you know if your s**t is going off that far away.. what're you gonna do? run a mile to get to your car in time to watch the guys run away with your s**t? 
it also won't work that far away if you're in a building. imo, if they say it does, they lie. i'll believe it when i truly see one work that far away in a building.

haha it says on their disclaimer that one mile range is measured in an area with no obstructions, no buildings just wide open area. Of course it aint gonna work a mile from inside a buildingAkiahara96 said:one mile range is retarded. so, goodie, you know if your s**t is going off that far away.. what're you gonna do? run a mile to get to your car in time to watch the guys run away with your s**t?
