eh everybody just copies DEI stuff anyway.  i pulled a prestige remote start out of a 2002 bmw the other day and it had a 555U taped to it.  every now and then you find some 451m's.  usually hood locks are DEI.

i find that black widow it junk.  the two way remote sucked (not that the DEI ones are all high and holy, just not as sh*tty as BW), the remotes can be difficult to program, programming certainly is different.  all of the shock sensors need full sensitvity no matter where installed.  they dont offer any add on freatures like timer/temp or window automation.  channels are usually limted to aux and ch 4.

there other things too, but others will still have anti-DEI stuff to say, i just listed a few points :)

The problem is there is no correct answer to this question, it is up to the consumer to decide for themselves.

 I have owned several Crime Stopper products purchased off Ebay and am happy with them, great factory support, only weak point is had a few remotes go bad but great product for the buck, only reson i didn't get another one is they don't offer manual trans option,

There are many alarms w/remote starts nowadays (other than Crime Stopper) that offer manual transmission.
Also I agree with the point that the cheapest item is never the best item. If there is one, let us know!
