[B@SSAN8OR 10+ year member]

are u talking about the prestige aps 996a? also the audiovox ax900 is the same alarm.

or the viper 791.. viper sux if you could not tell by my huge post

Yeah im talking about the aps 996a

what's typical labor on installing an alarm?

 

[B@SSAN8OR 10+ year member]

50-300 depending on what you are getting

 

[ighettoboyi 10+ year member]

well an aps996a is like 150 on egay. i'm assuming you can put a sensor for the hood and trunk as well?

 

[B@SSAN8OR 10+ year member]

yea it just pinswitches. and it has seperate zones for it on the 996...

about 140 is the cost of the 996. make sure it is the 996a not the 996C.... no main difference. just different wire colors. but i had to send a 996c in for warranty. before. and prestige does not even list the 996c anywhere.

The features you listed for the Prestige are useless, what does temp in the car and how long it's been running have anything to do with HEAVY SECURITY? Also I have a Python, another DEI alternative to Viper, pretty much the same thing, my shock senser is a 2 stage and is separate from the brain, oh, and was included with the alarm. And anyone who has common sense does not need a starter kill. Point is Audiovox adds useless features to make their product look more attractive, so if you want bells and whistles go with your Prestige if you want something that focuses on what an alarm is supposed to do go with a Viper.

the shock sensor on my 791xv is seperate.. lil clear cased thing

edit: heres a pic i took with my cell fone, it was the flash.. so it looks like crap.. but yea, its seperate.. maybe u talkin bout the cheaper DEI units.. their flagship models are great tho?

edit2: cant wait to see the reply to this one.. lol

i know that.... i said for the BASIC alarms. they are built in. i install them i know what comes in the fuken package.

the security is all the same for any alarm. it is the features people look for. the alarm is only as good as to how it is installed. if you have some idiot that has only installed a few alarms do it. and they leave everything open and the brain easy to get to then it is useless to have it. if you have it installed and everything looks stock or it is well hidden then it is a better alarm.

you people focus things on names and word of mouth then actual facts about the alarm.

 

[B@SSAN8OR 10+ year member]

so also you dont see the point in a starter kill?

ok then lets say you have a ford or a car, that when you do a remote start on it you have to put a spare key in a box in the car and have it use the coded key to start it. and the start kill is not installed. how hard is it to just start the car?

and if it is not installed correctly then they could just find that box and take the key out and start you car. where as if the started kill was there, and they found the key they would still not be able to start the car.

 

[HeadBussa86 10+ year member]

Oh and by that time I don't suppose they would have found the brain and just taken it out, right?

 

[B@SSAN8OR 10+ year member]

well on the prestige the brain and the starter kill are seperate.....

i will tell you what. how about you come to sac and if you have a viper alarm i will disarm it for you in less then 2 min. then i will let you try my car and see how long it takes you

 

[Black_Jesus 10+ year member]

can you rip out an interior, and cut out a sheet metal panel in less than 2 mins?

oh dont forget, you dont know where the brain is in the first place

cant hear the "tick" sound from it. so unless you installed it, it would take you awhile to find it. all the while, six sirens blaring

hope ya got earplugs and someone watchin ya back.

 

[HeadBussa86 10+ year member]

i know that.... i said for the BASIC alarms. they are built in. i install them i know what comes in the fuken package.

Idiot, you're telling me a 791 is a basic Viper, because that's what you were comparing your terrible *** Prestige too, Prestige is crap Audiovox=Thompson=Crap I'm done I don't care anymore.

 

[B@SSAN8OR 10+ year member]

so unless you have them all on a battery backup. they dont do shit, cause i could just pop your hood and disconnect your battery.

and sirens dont bother me at all. those peizo sirens dont do shit. and the dei sirens are kinda annoying but dont bother me either.

air horns on another hand bother me alittle bit. but i can still think around them.

every alarm has there flaw. and you only know how good your alarm is if you installed it.

oh and head bussa. maybe you did not read the first part of the post where i said. let me start out with the basic alarms. then half way down i went into the 996a and the 791... so i would think that most people that knew when you read something and you start out with basic you would go to something advanced later on in the post.

but maybe you could not figure that one out.

oh and if someone really wants your shit. they will stake your car out for a couple of days to see your reaction time. when the alarm goes off.
