I would like to put a remote starter in my 03 Alero. I dont care too much about security, but would like a good starter with long range. It would also be nice to have 2 way communication.

I had a dei security/starter unit in my old car that had good range. I think it was a sidewinder.

What unit would you reccomend? I can get some at cost from best buy.

I used to have the DEI Viper 550ESP on my CRX but then the 2-ways came out. I went ahead and got the Audiovox APS-995C and I am very happy with it. The big push I had to switch to Audiovox was that the Viper 790xv only had one remote and it was bulky for my taste while the Audiovox gave you a 2-way and a regular 4 button remote. Now I have gotten the Audiovox APS-996C for my Scion.Oh yeah Audiovox have a lot more aux output than the viper e.i. window module, pop trunk, etc.

hope this helps,

I've seen the new Crimestopper RS999TW1 on ebay for under 100.00 It uses a compact pager/remote transceiver that gives you a "Flashback" alert for engine start, stop, keyless entry for assurance of knowing if the vehicle is running. It has a spare one-way remote included. Looks like something I might try for my mom's new car. I have a Viper 790xv in my car but they are pretty expensive, only one remote and cost at least 75-80 bucks for a spare or to replace.

If you need 2 remotes I would go with the Valet 554R if not go with the 791XV.

Both systems are ok , I install them every day and they just work and I don't think I am just a lucky guy :)

Go to www.commandoalarms.com. I sell and install their products and have had great luck with them. Exceptinal range,great reliability and easy to install. The ez-2500 remote starter is very nice. It has a tachless feature and the remote will operate two vehicles(with same unit installed on each vehicle)Very cool feature! Look them up.

Everyone has there opinon for alarms and RS. I use a brand called Scytek. The guys at scytek used to work for clifford before they were bough out by DEI. I have had no problem with them and they have very good range.
