[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 5549761, member: 596464"] I would do Autopage or Compustar over DEI myself. I was looking for an alarm that did paging, and every friggin DEI dealer tried to sell me an alarm with remote start. Although it can be done semi-safely, I really don't like the idea of putting a remote start module on my vehicles because they are both standards. Another reason I choose to install myself over the locals is due to the fact that they are money hungry nuts. All the local shops charge $250 for a basic alarm install that does not even include a starter or fuel pump kill due to liability purposes NOR does it cover the cost of the alarm. In other words, all they do is install something that locks/unlocks the doors, flashes the parking lights, and turns your dome light on when you disarm it with only door/hood/trunk pin switches and a basic shock sensor. If you want a battery backup, that is another $50 + the cost of the battery backup. If you want another sensor, that is another $75 + the cost of the sensor! ETA: I forgot to say how great their installs are. 75% of the local installers zip tie the alarm control module under the steering column and they don't even secure the plugs. How long would that take your basic thief to disable? At least when I install my alarm, it is WAY out of the way, and all my plugs are zip tied into place on the brain! Could it be defeated? Sure... But first you have to find it and I hope my fake harness run didn't throw you off [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
