hey .i wasnt sure where to post this so i posted it here... ive been searching for a car alarm for a while .. atleast a good one.. so for i was looking at the viper with the little lcd screens but i cant seem to find a place online with a price for it and i havent had time to go to my local audio shop that has them.. so i was searching around and came upon auto accessory store and they have soemthign similar to the viper for 189.99 this is a link to the details manixx alarm details so tell me what you guys think about that or if you have any fairly priced recomindations that have a lcd screen like that one.. thanks in advance

so no onehas bought a after market alarm..?? wth

Sorry no idea, I would stick with Clifford or other big brands if you can't find any reviews on here or through google.

thanks atleast u replied..lol

I've got an excalibur that is pretty good.

i was gonna buy a viper up here in ontario 600 installed. It had a LCD screen. But I went for the audivox Prestige starter/alarm. Cost a little less than the viper and is just as good. It has the LCD screen, remote start lots of options. Lifetime warranty. Cant remember what it was worth but less than 600, i think it was around 450.

Stick with a DEI product.. Viper, Clifford and so on.... There are very few other companies that can offer the options and have a lifetime warranty!

now that the subject is up....

has anyone ever heard of a compustar??

i live in alaska and i have it.. its a 2way autostar/alarm

i like it but i never hear anyone talk about them..

Just throwing my 2 cents in here. Since I work on a lot of cars I wish that everyone that has an aftermarket alarm system installed on their cars should be taken out and flogged on a regular basis. I hate getting locked in your darn cars or having the alarms constently going off. Most companies hack the wire so bad..I dont have time to read a manual in order to figure out what sequence to push buttons , the lean of the seat or what radio station has to be on in order to start those damn things. HEHE..maybe a bit exaggerated..but its a pain in the ass.

I have the Clifford RS2. With almost every option. Paging System with LCD, Starter Kill, Remote Start, Microphone on the inside, and Remote windows. All Installed for excatly 600 bucks. It has really good range. 1 mile recieving and about a half a mile sending. And everything is lifetime warrantied.
