  • What alarm do you have??

    My car got broken in to last night, or early this morning, Im not sure which. Im really bumbed about it. They stole my brand new Oakley's (which my fiancee paid over $300 for less than 3 weeks ago for my B-day) they also stole my new Gerber multi-tool also from my B-day. they stole a few Cd's and stuff, not to mention like $30 worth of change in the cup holder...

    So my question is "what kind of alarm do you have??" what do you guys recommend? Ive obviously heard lots about Viper (ive also heard that they are over rated and over priced tho) My buddy has a compustar and is really happy with it... Im looking to spend $500 - $600 if possible, but I will spend more if necessary to get a quality set up.

    For the record, my GM "anti-theft device" was on and armed and never went off. I think that they jimmied the passenger front door. But for the record I AM PISSED. its a weird feeling to have your security compromised.

    Odd.... on the 6er if the door opens when it's armed no matter what it goes off. (I've locked myself in and manually unlocked it before).

    I remember being really pissed after someone popped my Sunfire's trunk one day at work. I had a backpack in my bag, but I had books in it too, and it was opened but I guess didn't seem it work taking and didn't bother taking the books out to see the laptop. Nothing stolen, but PISSED. And I had a alarm on it too, built in with my remote starter.

        i would say go with viper. i had a 790xv on my jimmy and it was awesome. you may not need all the functions though. i have a 791xv i may be putting in my G6 next weekend. i finally got the door lock interface module for it this week so i have everything i need.

        791xv can be had for under $150 on ebay if you are going to install it yourself. if you are having it professionally installed they may require you to buy it through them which will cost significantly more (up to $500 most likely plus install). i have a friend who had a compustar on his subaru and really liked it also and it was much less expensive.

          Actually unlike the Cavalier, the G6's stock content theft alarm doesn't go off if you manually unlock, but it does if it's unlocked from inside.

          I tried it, my remote died and had to unlock with the key, with both my cars and observed this.

            I do believe the door key cylinder reads the transponder, which is why the alarm doesn't go off. I KNOW the trunk reads the key. But try unlocking it with a hardware store non-transponder dupe key, I bet it goes off!

                I'd look into Compustar (or something from the same chain) personally, DEI is good too.
