Getting an alarm installed Saturday but not sure what to get? HELP


Recommended Posts

So looking for an alarm on a budget of $250 installed and everything. Looking for keyless entry and security. Can you guys give me some ideas on what to stay away from and what to look for? I'm not keen on alarms at all. Thanks y'all

BTW its on a 07 Chevy Equinox

Is Prestige a good company? or should I stick to Viper? What models should I look for or stay away from? anyone? i'm clueless about alarms! All I need is keyless entry and security, everything else is just extra I wont need.

You can't go wrong with DEI or Compustar. Oh, and the installer makes the difference in whether you love or hate an alarm.

DEI (also known as directed) makes the more common known brands of Viper, clifford and python and many other companies.. they generally use the same components too.. i like viper tho because the actual remotes are more durable than other companies.. like someone said previously, the installer plays a big part in how happy you are with the install

yeah i've heard of viper and read good reviews. the local shops around here carry viper and prestige. I was told $159 for a Prestige alarm installed, but he didnt tell me the model. I'd hate to pay $159 for a $40 alarm lol...

Im not sure about your car, but to me that's a great price for any alarm installed lol.. i got price quotes of almost a grand for remote start and at least 500 for alarms for my car (because it's german -_-)
