Viper 791xv

Python 881xp

Both are basically the same just different name. Good alarms can get alot of assecories for them too.

If you want extra-long range or have a manual transmission, look into Compustar. Their range beats all the Directed units (Viper, etc) and they can be used safely with a manual.

i think the range on my viper 771 really sucks....if i had to buy one again i would also go with compustar but they are harder to find locally here than dei alarms

i got a clifford rsx3.5 (directed electronics). the range is about 100 yards and have never had any problems with it

in a clear area, the range on a compustar is well over a mile.

The new version of the Viper 791 that hits the shelves in Sept is ALEGEDY better and more consistant range than the compustar. Until I use them myself I wont support nor deny that claim

everyones range is better than everyone elses on paper. i would pick some other major brands over that viper though, until it thoroughly proves itself.

DEI has definatly been known for making some "Exagerated claims" in the past but for the alarm side there is definatly no alarm I will take over a DEI unit, same goes for add on units like Prox, tilt window modules and RS interface modules. I definatly prefer them over anything else I have used

i prefer compustar or clifford, just a personal preference though.

Clifford is DEI

Clifford is DEI

i believe that they are still a completely different animal, i could be wrong though. its been a while since we have owned a clifford.

I believe the AvantGuard line is different but the Clifford Matrix 3.5X is just a Viper 791XV in a Carbon Fiber looking case.

the range on all the directed one is horrible. i have seen 100 dollar flea market remote starts have better range. plus anything in the way will not let the signal through. but other than that they are fine. easy to use and relaible
