is the viper 791vx worth the money? I dont know much about alarms but is 150 too much for the install? What other sensors should i get with it, I have an alarm already but its pritty crappy. Im relocating my hoodlatch and putting a kill switch in should i keep my alarm i have already or is it worth upgrading?

 

i have the 791xv for a few months now. the battery in the remote sucks up like every month. but right now it's one of the better alarms out there. you should get a battery backup, and second siren.

 

Yea, its worth it. $150 is CHEAP for install IMO.

There is no need to keep the alarm you have, as the 791vx is an alarm/remote start

As the alarm comes with a 2 stage impact sen., you may want to add a 2 stage proximity sen., I would def. add a back up batt. siren, and get the "starter cut" option on the alarm. I would also add a stand alone cut off switch, not part of alarm or controlled by the alarm.

If you own a standard trans. car, you may want to look into a system made for standards, as DEI, [Viper] are not. Compustar is, http://www.compustar.com 94

 

the thing is i get a BIG discount on this alarm were i work at so thats why im considering it how much would a back up battery cost to get put in?

 

$150 is cheap..i paid $200 to get it installed. Get the additional prox, piezos, back up battery and the 515r siren

Yeah, $150 is cheap. But make sure you get a good job also. I install these for at least $200, but I take care to hide everything as best possible.
Definately add a backup battery siren. This will help if the battery gets disconnected or power is cut to the actual siren.
