ok so i got a hook up on this alarm/auto start http://www.directed.com/securi...y.asp

for 350 installed
does anyone know if this is a good unit? and is the price a deal or no? by the way the guy is a professional installer. so let me know thanks.

 

it seems like a decent alarm, but keep in mind u still need to use kill switches. an alarm will not stop a theif.

also ebay has that same alarm for $170 shipped. if you feel confident in installing it great!!!!!!!!if not im sure you can get it installed for around $100.

yeah i saw that on ebay. not sure what to do im gunna see if hill take off any more $. i already talked him down like 100 though. its a pofessional shop. maybe its better to just pay for the top of the line service?

 

im sure you can still get that alarm installed at that shop. i had my alarm installed at car toys. if you dont know what it is. its a pretty big name in car audio in colorado

 

only other thing i have to think about though is that most shops wont install an auto start on a stick car. so i dunno? and is ur alarm auto start too?

 

mine is not autostart. but what they might do is install it. then it wont work till you disable you neutral safety switch. im not sure, i never thought about that.

worst case scenerio, they install everything except the remote start. then you will either have to find another shop to install it or try it your self

 

Compustar, I love mine. Comes with a kill switch already. And many other stuff.

are you talking about just a starter kill? if so most alarms come with that. theives have no trouble getting around that. i would definetly recommend installing your own kill switches. most of the time a would be theif could trace back from the alarm brain to the wires that were spliced into

 

I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

 

i installed my alarm/car starter i have the wires spliced in 2 different spots both hard to find

 

Most shops will not install a remote start in vehicle that is not equipped with an automatic transmission. I had to have a backyard guy do it for me. I never park my car in gear unless I am on a hill so I have no worries. I only use the remote start in the morning to warm the car up and its in the driveway on flat land. Good investment and I love the turbo timer! I have an Avital alarm which is from the same Directed Electronics

 

I got Compustar and I like it The only thing about it is the price of install is pretty expensive unless you know someone.

 

looks good to me... search arouind a little more... remember $ buys protection or if u just vote properly... i voted for pedro cause he offered me his protection

 

lol/\ pedro

 

o and now im in a tough spot because the installer is my friend's friend and i talked him down. was i wrong to talk the guy down? p.s. talked him down from 375 to 350

 

i say for sure. if my teg didnt come stock with one, u bet ur *** that would be the first investment i got

 

i still think the masterlock through the steering knukle is as good as kill switches

They make auto start kits FOR manual tranny cars that are legal....

 

not really legal the guy is a pro installer and also a friend so its not a problem

 

Spend 40 bucks and buy a helms manual and install it yourself. Save some cash!!!
