ya im just looking for one that can lock and unlock my car arm and disarm my alarm and possibly pop my trunk.

 

Hey what do you think about this one or is it just a cheapo one?http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?...ore=&catid=297

 

Link did not work 94

or this one

Well one is an alarm and the other is a remote start, for the price they should be fine.
My first question would be, do you want an alarm or a remote start, or both, if the answer is both, then I would look for a combo unit like http://www.etronics.com/produc...d=297 this. 94

 

nope not looking for a remote start. Does the alarm one have all the sensors like door ones and what not? I dont really know what they are technically called.

 

Yes the alarm has all the basic things you need plus a few extras
I would however find out what kind of warranty they give and under what condistions, how long is the warranty on the brain and/or the remotes. eg. if the unit is DOA, [does not work when it is installed] will you get another unit, who pays for shipping, how long will it take? 94

 

ya i will probably end up getting it from a shop because of that fact. Its probably easier than having to go through the trouble of all the shipping BS if something goes wrong.

 

A very good idea, getting the alarm and having it installed at the same place has a lot of advantages, warranty being at the top of the list, and it supports your local retailer and your local economy, the other big advantage is, if you have a problem you can go and talk to someone face to face, not some poor slob on the phone who probably doesn't give a rats *** about your problem, and may in fact have no clue as to what a car alarm is or does. 94

PS let us know how it turns out

 

ya im gonna go this weekend to a few shops and see what i can get.
