Shyne151 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I've got the hookup on the viper 5901 for $240 + shipping. I have the LC3(5901) and I am not impressed one bit by the range.

Also the batteries that come with the 2way remotes do not last very long @ all. DEI offers free replacement batteries. The replacements are much better than the origionals. * One Mile Range based on line of sight, unobstructed testing in ideal conditions.

The range just isn't that good in any of them. My boss has a 5701 and the performance is way better. The LC3s use a rechargeable battery. Why would the batteries they send you as a replacement be any better? if they had better batteries they would put them in the unites.

jsmoke222000 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I don't have an answer as to why the orgional batteries suck balls. All I know is that if you replace the battery with a new one, you will notice a huge difference. I have a 5701 also. I like it FWIW. Quote Jared Nixon A.K.A.

jsmoke222000 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 It's a great alarm but the range is not a mile. I feel comfortable saying it is reliable within 300 ft under the most jacked up conditions & probably ok @ 500 yards if you are not sitting in a bank vault under an electronics store @ a shopping mall.

I can be in a building on campus 500-600feet away staring at my car and the remote doesn't work. Not impressed... but then again I can't even get cell reception in the buildings. Outside when you aren't in a building it works fine... i'd say it gets all of 1500-2000ft when you are outside.
