Alarm for Evo
So ive been recently trying to decide on an alarm for the evolution? i was talking with some people today and they recommended a Python. I've also heard that clifford is also good. What do you guys think, or recommend?

Im not too experienced with alarms so basically my plan was to get a good named brand 2 way pager(clifford, viper, compustar) from a shop and have them install it. Everyone seems to have their own opinions on whats good, so Im just going to go for whatever works.

I thought Clifford and Viper were made by the same company? I've had a Clifford before and it worked great. I've also had OnStar in a car and liked it but I doubt I'd get it again. Maybe if I already had an alarm and money to blow.

Most reliable alarm company out there is DEI. They are the makers of Python, Viper, Hornet, Sidewinder, Clifford and Avital. Their Sidewinder, Viper and Python all share same features but with different branding. Marketing and territorial strategies. Keep it simple when dealing with alarms. The basics are multiple stage shock sensor, Light FLash and siren. Door, trunk and hood triggers are also nice.

Hrmm..not a big fan of DEI products myself. I've had 2 of their alarms die on me...one cost me my car. I opted for an Alpine alarm this time around, I've always had very good luck with them..and the features matched what I wanted.

Directed Electronics (DEI) Products are the most reliable products in the mobile electronics industry. I am new to this forum and a new Evo owner; I almost opted for the STI.
I am going to be bias to Directed Products of course because I work for them, but I have to say I spent 15 as an installer before I joined Directed and they are by far the easiest and most reliable products I have ever worked with. Directed owns many patents licensed to other manufactures of security products and is by far the largest. Directed owns Viper, Clifford (Clifford is a totally different manufactured security system then Viper), Python, Valet, Hornet, Sidewinder, Rattler and Avital. Directed also owns Orion, PPI, Directed Audio (holds the world record for SPL), Viper Audio and ADS home and car audio.
The new 2ways units coming this next month with have revised killer looking remotes, Viper will be Blue, Python will be black and Clifford will be carbon fiber. They will also have a turbo timer feature and one extra aux output. Their will also and option to have a one-way remote add on, they also are very attractive.
I will be installing the new Viper 791XV in my Evo this weekend, I will also install an 508D radar sensor, 515R battery back up siren and a trunk solenoid. I plan to install the Viper GPS tracking system the following weekend.

security system
I just had the DEI Hornet installed in my EVO. They were able to integarde it into the factory lock/unlock remote so the alrm sets when I lock the doors. I also had them install a backup battery siren in case they cut the power to the car. No hood pin switch was installed because they always fail.
Basic alarm with shock sensor and backup battery siren installed for 250.00

Alarm=noisemaker...no one ever pays attention to an alarm ever, seriously unless you are getting a lo-jack or some sort of tracking device its essentially a really expensive noisemaker.
