Car Alarm

[dabouncerx24]

Hey, I was just wondering what kind of car alarms you guys have? Which brand is good? How much did it cost?

not sure of the modle, but ive got a DEI alarm. it beeps, flashes, dosnt let the car start, and has a 30 sec auto arm. its got a few more buttons on the keypad but i dont know what they do. it was on the car when i got it but i'd guess its in the $200 range

i got the falcon car alarm.its pretty much a standard alarm,and it has a bright LED that flashes when its armed.cost:$100 + installation, but i had my friend install mine.

have a Hornet..something like $100 simple, beeps...an LED flashes when it's armed.
I want to get a Viper tho so I can get the window module

i have a viper 550esp for the accord with the remote starter, and a hornet on the integra. the hornet has the pager and remotestart too. they were both in the 500 range installed

I have a black widow i paid like 300 bucks for it. It's the one that has a pager key pad. It has lots of other features, but i didn't get any.

I just got a Viper 791XV installed with the screen and all that with two sirens and a set of air horns damn that shit is loud when it goes off, I got it for 200 and installed for 120

I need to get a car alarm.. wait who am I kidding no I dont.. who wants to steal my POS..

[sicones]

its not becuase there gonna steal your car they mght break in and steal your radio and shit after my brother and my friends car got broken into all of our cars have vipers and are garaged

[Grip72]

i wish i could garage my car, but i won't be able to once summer hits....anyways when i had the accord,i had a compustar one on it. i don't recall the model but it was $$$, but well worth it. it had a 2 stage shock sensor, LOUD siren, flashing lights, hood pin, trunk pin, awesome command start (i could even set it up so that it would start every 2 hours and run for 15mins) which worked WONDERS when it was in the freezing months of januray etc.

I really dont know the brands on mine:

My civic has all the simple feature like keyless entry and auto lock but most importantly works with a turbo timer. I can activate the alarm but does not arm until the engine shutsdown. Cost me $120 installed.

My integra has the same features but also has remote start, window module, and pager. Cost me $100 brand new and install for free ..... I have friends.

Most of you guys just bought an alarm system online or in a store and then brought it to a garage for install right? Or does those garages order the alarms for you and then install it?

[thermal]

circuit city and best buy has some alarms that they can install for you with additional cost. the one of my teg was purchased from a local message board. he thought the install was easy. after paying over $400 for the kit and seeing the wires, he backed out and sold that shit to me for $100 shipped.

[sicones]

any performace car shop should have alarms that they can sell and install you WILL get ripped off at circuit city dont go there, this viper is great it has a BUILT in turbo timer too, just to let anyone one know if they need a turbo timer and alarm in one

Compustar system on my Teg Has the display and pager to tell me if my car is getting broke into and what part of the car is.

Still using the factory GM alarm system on my Transam thats so senstive when a car with a exhaust goes by it, it will go off lol

[dabouncerx24]

Well cuz I was planning to buy an alarm system online then bring it to a local shop for install....just wondering if you guys think it's a bad idea.

[autocrossthugg]

I think that it is always best to buy the alarm from the shop that is going to install it. That way the product and install are both warranteed if some thing goes wrong. Bye the way I have a 4 year old Clifford Concept 20 in my car with no problems.
