I just bought both the Phoenix Digital 175 and Viper Responder 790xv. Now I need to figure out which to install.The only difference I can find between the two are PD-175 has time display on remote and a longer range. I can't find anything about it having the code hopping technology like the Viper.Other than that I can't really find anything else about the two. I like the PD-175 remote better, especially with the time display and flip cover. I don't like that the air/heat will only run for 10 minutes from remote starting. It gets too cold here in Ohio.

The guys I took it to said the Viper was the best one there was, but they also said it was made by "DIT" but I didn't correct them...

So what do you think? I haven't found anything posted about the Phoenix Digital, anyone else ever try it?

viper is easy to install, organized instruction manualsdamn, but the remote on the viper is so plain, thats the down fall. its only if they put some time on there, then it would be awesome.
is there at site to phoenix?

http://phoenixdigitalaudio.com/accessories.html There is the Phoenix Digital site, the one I got is at the bottom of the page

There's also quite a few features I read about in the manual that it doesn't say on the site such as vibrate mode for the remote. Plus phoenix digital comes with 2 remotes, which is nice considering the Viper remotes cost like $90 if I lose or break it.

Installation will cost the same for both, hmm...

-yeah that too about the remote, theyre too expensive. but i would say that viper has a better quality than the phoenix. the remote cover seems to be very inconvenience. i would go for viper for its look and quality.
-hell, if you have both, install both of them on there. lol. nah, am just joking.

I think the cover would be helpful for me. The viper doesn't have any kind of button lock that I've seen. Every time I forget to lock my cell phone before throwing it in my purse I pull it out to find that it has called like 5 people PD-175 or Viper 790XV -- posted image.

Anyway, nobody seems to have any experience with the PD alarm. What about their other products? I don't want to pay $300 for installation and then change my mind.
