I want to get a reliable alarm with the most range. From what I've read and heard, Compustar has more range than any of the other alarm systems.

I spoke to an alarm shop rep who said that the range (half-mile and over a mile) Compustar claims is a lie. He said the Viper alarm systems outperform the Compustar alarms.

pm if u want compustar

 

I just tested the range.

its hell badass range more then my old alarm.

its about 460 walking steps 24" each step.

about 1000ft. I went about that much still had recpetion untill I could have walked more but I said it was enough.

 

Does your car have tinted windows? Mine does and the range is not so great. I wonder if that's the windows' fault.

 

I have tested the Compustar with GPS for range the best I got was about 2900 feet.

 

My Viper Responder 791XV range isn't all that. I had the Antenna wire rolled up at first until I decided to spread it out as straight as I could to get more range. I did get a little bit mroe range, but it's still not decent enough. And because of the signals it uses, the range sucks more with obstructing object in the way like a tree, other cars, building columns, etc. I've always know the CompuStar's range to generally excel over any DEI's range.

 

What does antenna wire routing has to do with the range?

 

so are the Compustar alarms better then the DEI alarms because i just bought a clifford RSX Matrix 3.5
