I'm not sure where the Boa comment came from but I do have experiance with them and I will NEVER buy another one again. The range is absolutely terrible - I've tried mounting the antenna in countless different ways and have no improvement. I have to be within 8' of the car to reliably make it work. Spend a little extra and get a valet 562t

Never used scytek...Havent heard anything bad though...! How much do you want to spend...? What does the shop your thinking about going to offer as far as product brands...?? With base everything...your car should be a slammer...! (although i already forget what kind it is...)

If you are having a shop install this you are better off having them do what brand they sell. If there an issue they can resolve it. If you bring your own equipment any problems you encounter are out of your pocket as you supplied the product. Avital 4103 solid unit easy to use, autopoage rs603 solid unit easy to use. BOA's are crap, keep looking. Scytek is a great money maker for me, we removed approx, 48-49 units last year to replace them with a viper.

code is code alarm and they have been around for as long time, they used to be one of if not the onlt one made in usa, but they have since been bought by audiovox, i have used audiovox and code alarm for years with excellent reliability, many great options out there just gotta find one you klike with all the features you feel you want/need etc.

but as stated above, buy one from the shop doing the install so as to avoid uneccessary expenses(i.e- unit fails, you have paid to install it now you have to pay to remove it, you have to send it to manufacturer for repair then pay to have it reinstalled)where if you bought product from that shop they will warranty on the spot

i hear you on your statement about the audiovox and seems like a good reliable product but like i mentioned in another post i dont think i wanna get it installed because most shops around were i live install scytek and not only that some shops advertise a remote system install for $120 i think those are worthless kits...
