well i just picked up the viper 771xv and am going to install it myself (stealth install ftw) and was wondering if anyone else runs this same alarm and what you thought of it

 

Get the Viper GPS unit also. Just an alarm is pretty useless. If you're gonna try to protect your car, you're gonna need more than just an alarm.

 

One that keeps my car safe, alerts me of activity and can be traced...

I wouldn't give up what specific make/model on a public forum though. Besides, it's all just layers anyway.

 

The one that doesn't work anymore except as a keyless entry system.

 

well i was just going by what it said on causeforalarm, and im doing a couple other tricks as well, just wondering if any certain make/model is better then another

Ditto. I can track/trace mine. Thats all I'm saying.

 

None. My keys are always kept in the car too. Ignition is held together with zip ties.

 

ive got a viper model with some options on it so when it goes off

-Starter will not turn over
-Fuel pump killed
-ECU killed
-Headlights flash
-4 Airhorns sound
-1 siren outside car sound
-2 sirens inside car sound

also have a relocated battery, backup battery, digital tilt sensor and hood pop thing.

 

Train horns as siren FTW!! I can hear mine 8 miles away

 

i have a box of rats in my car. if my alarm goes off the box opens and they eat anything they can..

problem is getting them back into the box

 

90% of your alarm effectiveness is how well it is installed. Not how many bells and whistles it has.

hahahahahahahaha

 

I actually took the one that was on the car I am finishing up off. Clearly didn't work in the first place. At this point I think the alarms are pretty useless and the GPS tracking is about the only thing I'd spend money on..

 

da Squirl,

You're probably not going to get much feedback on this topic. It just makes the ITR's even easier to steal if you know the brand.

-M

p.s. For the record, I've got a $750 alarm with several LED's, two horns, hidden brain, and remote start (for the stunnas...). Oh yes, it's got a pager mechanism that eats AAA's too. Damn I'm gonna miss my R. Finally sold it, btw.

... very true. Hide those brains, and sirens!

 

Getting my new alarm installed later this week, its this model pictured here:
