Compustar Car Alarms

[chinsterr]

I am in the market for a car alarm and was just wondering what systems you guys have on your cars and the ups/downs of that system (and where you got them installed). I was thinking of picking up this compustar alarm --- 2W900FM-A. Any comments ? price ? Please recommend a store for purchasing and installation.

If you have a muannual transmission and want to get the viper 791XV do not dare get it. I purchased the system and went to lockdown to have it installed and when they attempted t get the starter working they couldnt because the viper is no good for mannual transmissions. They would have had to install seperate door pins etc etc go with compustar



OOO and also just go to lockdown and get the package install and system price because its cheaper then buying the system and then paying to have it installed
I learned that the hard way :(

Did you get the alarm rewired so that your HIDS dont blink on/off when your alarm goes off ? Do you think its a good idea to wire the alarms to the \"high beams\" ?

You could just rewire your hids so that the daytime running lights are controlled by the foglights and the hids are controlled by the foglight switch that way your hids will not flash.

OR

Lockdown offered me to wire the lights so they would constantly stay on without flashing



I did it the first way

[chinsterr]

So there is no method of wiring the alarm to the highbeams ? I would hate having my HIDS flash or be turned on for a short period of time.

Dang, what the heck you doing on TM3 then ? *cough post-whore cough* Jaketech did your install right ? happy with their work ?

[Kevin@nextmod]

Of course he\'s happy....good price with good ppl to deal with. He got all his screens done from them for half the cost of ___________ .

[ZOOM ON 3]

My recommendation...........go with the VIPER.......

I\'m on my 5th yes.........5th remote on the Compustar...and what can I say...

I have no F.... Pager system...... I got my installed at Lockdown and Jeff says that they have been having problems with the Compustar remotes. My secondary remote works fine but the main pager unit doesn\'t work at all.

Go with the Viper system

Vito:(

[McGuyver_3]

automatic viper =yes
mannual viper = DANGER HELL NO THE STARTER WONT WORK UNLESS EXTENSIVE EXTRA WORK AND MONEY MUST BE SPENT

wat do you mean by pager system? when they knock your windscreen n ur stuff beeps or vibrates?

[ZOOM ON 3]

I mean the actual pager remote.

It does not page me, I can\'t unlock or lock the car with it...it\'s useless.

[bluntman]

Chinsterr, do me a favour and ask Jake Tech how much they would charge to install a set of DDEs?

he said that lockdown installed my HIDs to the parking lights
and that he will have to fix it for me!

he didn\'t seem to think it was a problem

he installed the alarm off the parking lights,
but they were tapped for the HIDs

so how did it go for u man?

what did they do?
What year is ur car man?

[chinsterr]

Went to Jake Tech ,

Got the system installed with the remote start. Talked to Jake about the HIDS being piggy backed to the parking lights and he said he can do the fix for me tmr. So i will be going to get my HIDS rewired tmr .. sigh* lockdown should have just done this when i first got my HIDS installed with them

my car is an 05

[Kevin@nextmod]

What did you think of Jake TEch?
