Hey peeps, i know this subject has bee covered but some of the threads on the search were old and outdated. I wanted to know what is the best alarm out there right now. I just bought a sony explode and got rid of the stock radio which was crap. But it seems my factory locks wont work because they were somehow connected to the factory alarm. I have the opportunity to purchase a 03 model of a viper alarm with starter kill, power locks, you know, the basic worksfor 150 installed where i got my radio. What are some other good ones, but i dont want to spend more than 300 on an alarm. Give me some good opinions and advice. Either from experience or from others experience with the alarms. Its a 98 civic ex, by the way. Oh yeah, has anyone heard anything good or bad about vision alarms?? Any help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance, ed.
