I'm trying to get an alarm for my EM1. So far I think i'm going with the following

- Viper 5901 alarm
- Dei 507m tilt sensor
- Dei 513t mini siren
- Dei 520t backup battery
- Maybe a Dei 506t audio sensor

The biggest thing I really want is GPS tracking. Now is the Viper 210v discontinued? I believe mobileiq has taken over but I see the Viper 210v can still be purchased out there. If I buy this, can it still be activated? I assume it would be plug & play with the 5901?

Not sure if i'm missing something here with the Viper 210v or if there is another GPS tracker that integrates directly with the 5901. Any recommendations?

 

the 210v/p/x has been replaced with the smartstart smart phone interface. might want to take a look at those lines.

 

Viper 210v is a mobile iq unit from the start. Be carfull of the units you might buy on ebay. 90% are the old analog models that can not be activated. It has to be a the digital version. I have 10 units here off ebay members bought/brought and there analog. Mobile iq/dei dropped thoses units years ago and now there on ebay. I am not a fan of the new dei tracking system. I going to stick with mobile iq as it works far better then the dei unit.

 

Is there a way to tell if the Viper 210v is digital or analog unit by looking at the box or unit? If it is a digital unit, can it still be activated? Does the standalone mobile iq unit integrate with the Viper 5901 without a hitch just like the 210v?

 

I need the serial number and I can check for you. Yes the mobile iq unit will sence the siren wire to operate correctly. It does not plug into the bit port. Dei owns the right to that.

Here is a analog one!

Thanks! I'll need to see if I can get the serial number for the 210v. How do you know the ebay one is an analog unit. Did you contact the seller?

To purchase the mobile iq unit, do I just go to air iq and order from them?

If you had the option of a 210v digital and a mobile iq unit, which would you choose and why?

 

^^ both are the same unit. So I would use either or. And the reason I know the analog unit is that I was there when they first came out and installed 100's of the unit. And had to replace the 100's of the units when they went digtal. Plus that case is the old unit that was never digital. Carefull on what you buy.

 

Thanks man!! you've been tons of help and have cleared up a lot. If I can't find a digital version, i'll just get one from mobile iq/air iq. They seem to be about $250 for a unit? I'd like to get this done asap as I just got my em1 and want to keep it safe

 

Has anyone used Silver Cloud by LandAirSea?

Just wanted to get opinions. I think I'm going with mobile iq but just ran into this

 

What about the DSM250 or VSM250 (Same unit I think) Do they work by GPS or by cell network only?

 

Wow that unit is expensive. Sorry, never used it or have any thing to say about it.

 

Are you talking about silver cloud? If so, it is expensive. The maps are pretty impressive though but haven't really found any reviews by people. I think it's a pretty new product.

Have you had experience with the Viper VSM250 or DSM250? Looks like newer version of the smart start with GPS

 

I don't like the new dei unit even thou I carrrry them. I'll stick to the mobile iq units for serious gps installs cause it really works so well. I can't risk a change up and lose a car cause the app fails or the unit does not get good range in a full stealth install.

Big reason. The mobile iq unit has its own decicated back up battery. Dei does not. Think security not brand or ease.

 

Cool. Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. I'll post an update when I decide what to go with and get the install done.
