Im looking at getting one of these alarms, my budget is around 150. I found a feature list of each of them, but im not sure what the forum thinks of this low end range of alarm (most of what ive seen with searching is higher up 5900s and such)
Im buying the alarm before I buy the car, so im not sure exactly what type of car it will be, but it will definatly be a maxima, corolla, camry, etc....so I dont need a really high end alarm, I dont even really care about remote start, id rather not have it, but I understand most of the standard alarms these days come with it. I need it to go off if someone breaks the windows, and some kind of engine kill feature would be nice, but not needed. So here are the features, im not too knowledgeable about alarm features so Im not sure how they really compare, or whats better, the python has a longer range, but the vipers seem to have more features; they look similar though:
