Remote Starter

Any one know of or have a good remote starter. There seems to be a large variety everything from 55.- up to 3-400. What fetures are needed?

Yeah I have also been thinking of getting a remote starter as well. Curious to know what kinds people recommend.

How much did you spend on your viper system?

I put an inexpensive bulldog system in myself. It was only like $70 with the PATS bypass.

I think you meant the 560XV

Yeah mine was more than that installed, because I also got the field disturbance sensor installed so if someone reaches inside of an open window or even my truck bed, the alarm will at first chirp, and then if it happens again, the full alarm will go off.

I have never and ANY false alarms with mine, I agree with the statement "you get what you pay for!".

Alot of the performance also has to do with the install, I was there with them, when I had my installed, as I get very **** about the wiring in my truck (Commecial Electrician by trade).
