beastpath Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 So I've decided to put an alarm system into my '91 pathfinder. But I have no idea what the good ones are. should I find a stock one somewhere? or just get an aftermarket? what are all your experiences with different brands?

Whitebrick Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 should I find a stock one somewhere? or just get an aftermarket? what are all your experiences with different brands? i had a stock alarm system and was ok. the rang on it suck relly bad could not unlock it tell i got up to the door. i put a clifford matrix 50.5x in mine about two years now and have no problems. the resond i got that one is for it tells you if someone has hit your car or opend the door and so forth. and i can be a mile away and the remote well tell me all of that. clifford and viper are made buy the same group of people gust one well cost more than the other. http://www.clifford.com http://www.viper.com A the same time if you use it all the time like i do for work you well go threw some batterys.

edicer2 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have a Compustar and i love it! I think mine is way better then a viper can do alot of stuff with it http://www.compustar.com/main.htm I have the 2 way one it was like 400 bucks installed but it sweet. the little remote beeps and vibrates if someone is messing with it plus also confirms if the dooors are locked unlocked. you can check the voltage, temp and a few other things while sitting in your house with a push of a button. Idk i love it i wouldnt of bought anything else. 3000ft range can also do remote start with a manual if u wanted that. Alarm is very loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 My mom's ex used to put Viper basic alarms on all his company work vans. They were basic, got the job done, and never had any issues. He would keep the vans for about 5 years too. Plus I like the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that all 3 brands would be fine but i just felt that this brand was better! you can do alot of crazy things by adding on and a few of the really high end ones can use satlite to open and lock your car in crap so range isnt a matter at all but those cost alot! I have the compustar pro P2W9000FMR Edited February 28, 2009 by edicer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
