I would like to know as well... I want an alarm with all the functions of that. I want everything to work well with the stock components, anyone had any luck?

Garret I can help you out, A&B sound sells a system for $250 (Canadian obviously) that has all those features. IT's made by Ungo. Apline also has a good one with those features, quite pricey though.

hey dude! You live in BC? Canada? Where abouts?!

I am definitely interested in purchasing one of these. How much are they to get installed? I know jack about electronics so this is definitely a pay-someone-to-do-it type of job.

Thanks man

Im just outside of Vancouver. That system I actually listed above includes a full function single zone alarm. I think the installed price was around $325-350 (I never check the installed price, I do everything myself). A&B Sound from my research has the best prices and largest selection.

Do your self a favor and check out DEI, the makers of viper and the like. I install for a living and have installed most brands and have a lot of respect for the product. I have the Viper 550 on my truck and the Viper 600 on my camaro. Directed electronics incorporated.

DEI - has some great products i've used them on several other cars in the past........

the only reason i'm going with compustar is well simple...........

some little fu(king ***** keep's messing with my car and they have the top of the line 2 way system

but it's up there $$$$$$ about 5 - 600 depending on where you go........

i know this might seem high but seen as how i just put in almost a grand in parts and about another 2 in the next few months
it somehow didn't bother me at all

If your interested in a 2way system check out the new Viper 790 from DEI, I installed 2 last week. They are pricey but bad ***.
