Default Re: Wireless Start-Up?

All i want is Remote start... THATS IT!!! i don't want an alarm because frankly, i don't need one in my town. Its small enough and i live in a remote enough area, i just leave my doors unlocked sometimes for fun!

Honestly though, i just want remote start... any suggestions? i called some audio install places and one quoted me 350 for the Valet unit installed... Still high considering its a 75.00 unit.

hey guys, im gona have the Viper SST installed tomorow, and i just wanted to ask if you had any suggestions on which sensor to install. It will have a shock sensor, but in addition to that should i get:

> ultrasonic sensor
> sound sensor
> Field disturbance sensor

Which would be best?

Thanks!

Cool, how much installed is it going to be?

Go with the sound (glass break) sensor. The others would do more good if you had a convertible, otherwise they are just annoying and draw negative attention.

including one of the extra sensors and instalation, and also some moving lights or something (i think he called it scaner??) it will cost me exactly $780. The MSRP for the sytem is $659. He probably gets it for alot less though.

Its a little more than i wanted to spend but who cares .

The installer also suggested the sound sensor, but i wanted to check in with you guys to see what you say, cauze i dont really have any experience with car alarms, except turning them on and off .

thanks
marin

if it only costs 75 bucks, $275 sounds like a bit much for instalation alone. I might be wrong .

Ouch, $780. The clifford matrix rsx 3.5 msrp is $600, but I think dealers get it for something like $200-$250. I bought mine new for $230. I imagine the sst is similar in pricing, quite the markup!

yea, i overpaid, but if it does the job, i dont really care, i rather have peace of mind than 300 or 400 bucks in my pocket (both would be best ). I'll get pissed of if i have a problem with it or something of that sort.

I was planning on going with the clifford sst, but the installer didnt have it in stock, and i wanted to get it put in as soon as possible. theres been some increase in theft around here lately, and i just installed a pioneer Z1 (several weeks ago), so kind of want to protect my investment.

i really like the responder remotes, you actully know when somethings goin on, so you can go and take care of it yourself, instead of reliyng on the assumption that the crook will freak and run, or that someone else may help.

from what i am able to tell from the specs is that viper sst and clifford sst are basically the same system, different labeling. Maybe difference in reliability, but dont know. I like the color/design of the clifford remotes, like a carbon fiber look.

Yeah, it will last as long as the truck as well... so if you think of it that way it's not bad. Viper and clifford are the same, just different styling.
