choosing security system

I have been researching 2-way car security paging systems and have to say that I am confused as to which is the most reliable. Dealers seem to be opinionated to the brands they carry. Reviews online are vast.

1- True one mile distance?

I know I am asking for alot. I have looked at the following systems:

1- Compustar Pro P2WSSR

2- Autopage RS-1000OLED

3- Scytek Vision Guard 8000

4- Viper 5901 Responder

5- Prestige XR09100

6- Clifford Matrix 50.7X Responder LC3

7- Clifford 70.5X Color Responder R/B

Please help me make the right decision on this expensive and important investment.

If you know a better system please share.

Thank You,

Don Seddio

Oh I don't think we've enough space to answer all of your questions but I will try. 1 mile range? In the real world, i.e. buildings roads elevation etc go for half of that. Do you mean remote OPEN or remote unlock. The second is more likely and again in the real world more possible. Secondary unlock of the tailgate is also possible. Forget shock sensor with a softop, you'd be better off with a dual zone (outer warn away, inner trigger) proximity or field effect sensor.  4) on some.  5)All.  6)?  7)DEI = Clifford and Viper  8)No  9)No  10) As many as you could imagine.  11)All  12)It's called a PANIC  feature!              13) All  14)Some   15)All  16)Event by-pass  17)Yes  18)You programme it do NOT suggest passive.   19)All

The next point is that most of this product is similar and all are the best on the market. DEI product (Clifford, Viper and possibly Autopage) have been having problems with their remotes, there's a post about it on this site.

Thank you so much for your response. Out of the systems I have listed. Which one do you think would reliably fit the bill?

first time to do a forum.. I have the LC3 responder and it is great. I am still learning all the functions on it but they seem to be very usefull. I have not tested the one mile range but have been far enough to not see the vehicle and still get the responder to tell me. Unfortunately, the sound on the responder is not loud enough, so need to make sure it is set to tone+vibe. I also have a convertible and have the dual zone radar installed. It is touchy in setting up the range but once you have it to your likeing, it works very well. Since I have a manual transmission, I have a module to have the remote start function with a safety feature (steps to get it to work). Unfortunately, I havent found out how to get back in my vehicle (remote start activated) to get something and still have the remote start set. Once I get in my vehicle, I lose the remote start unless i go through the steps to set it back up. Almost all the features that affiatati7 asked earlier seems to be on the alarm that I have. For the ones that are not is not neccessarely missing, I just havent used it or found it on mine. Be more than will to give all the information that I have found
