Just for kicks, I already have that python 700 installed, I found the Compustar kit for about $270. Would It be easy to install the compustar in it's place? Any idea how much someone whould charge to install this?

I've been in Phoenix for a month and I'm already this paranoid. I feel like my python 700 is nothing. Waste of $300

 

what model?

 

ah, i only found the sw something. Lemme check

EDIT: 2w900 goes for about 230 on ebay. PRO2wfmas for like $300.

STI What are the real differences, and what do you think of my python 700?

I got it put in on a whim because 1 guy here on h-t said it was a good entry level alarm and I read a few good reviews on it.

 

After some reading, it sounds like the range on the compustar is superior.

But If I add a hoodpin and trunkpin I think it will make my alarm setup more comparable.

I don't know much about all this, that's why I went to circuit city.

 

The unit you have is a entry level unit. It was not design to have that great of range. But it is a good alarm if its installed correctly. If range is what you looking at, look at the responder units or better yet go with the sst units

There all the same, clifford,python,viper, It not that hard to put the new alarm in. Its all ready wired. But thats not to say if its done correctly.

also compustar has no internet sales

Funny that the pro-series is allready up there.

 

Other than range does the compustar kit do the same thing?

 

yes

 

oh, well now I don't feel so bad. I think I should add a hood and trunk pin though. And a backup battery + kill switch. Then I'd have more peace of mind.
