So which system do you guys recommend?

 

are you planning on installing it your self? if not you wont get much for under $200 installed.

 

nope, i meant just the system itself for $200, not including install.

 

i prefer alpine or dei. dont forget that you can have the "best" alarm, but a bad install can ruin the alarm's performance.

btw, is there a way to modify an existing anti-theft system to make it more like a commercial alarm system? (did I ask that right?) Im getting a complete security system for my '94 Accord LX, which did not come with anti-theft or anything, but my 02 Accord SE came with anti-theft, is there a way to modify the existing system? I dont want to buy a another security system for the 02 Accord and just leave the anti-theft system on the garage floor being useless.

 

thats about what will end up happening, except it will be sitting in your car instead of on the garage floor.

has anyone ever used dei's rattler alarm?

 

an autolock.

 

i have it on my accord, its alright, i guess. i dont know much about alarms, so i couldnt tell you perks and downfalls to it.

 

the rattle is DEI "entry level" system....is geared most toward do it yourself types
who are mechanically inclined....Heres the real story: Its just like there regular line
up...basic viper300s units geared to give them better market share...thats all.
What you have is the same quality,albeit not the *major* tech advances as the front line pieces...but good stuff all round. Think of it as Cristal tastes on a St Ides
budget.

 

I have a rattler 310D system, and it works perfectly fine for me.
