You are going to get lots of different answers here, and to be honest in most cases you can get a very expensive alarm but if not properly installed it's worthless. My opinion is something from compustar they are the best for range and they have some pretty cool features. I would say the pro2w9000fmas. But you may also want to look into some sort of gps tracking maybe also from compustar it's called computrack

I personally don't really like dei products I'm more of a fan of compustar or autostart. I've had some problems with dei mostly with range

DEI is great if you can't get any Compustar. I just upgraded to the 2WSSAS from the 5900 and I love it. The Viper is complete junk when compared to the Compustar. I would get horrible range and have to swap out a new battery every week.
The shops telling you to do the Viper didn't carry Compustar I take it? Where are you located?

You should be fine with either DEI or Compustar. I prefer DEI because that is what I sell and I can tell you that I have very few problems with them. The most important thing in your alarm is going to be your installer.

i would go compustar all the way, too bad here in canada we dont got the P2WSSR - AS yet, only have the P2W900FM-AS =( also you can add on computrack which you can use a browser and monitor status of your car.

Do you guys in Canada get the ones where the brain sense the remote approaching the car and unlocks it for you? I wish they would add that to the US models.

yeap its kinda like passive disarm when you walk near the car, it unlocks - the good thing is you can set the range on them but i usually leave it defaulted at its range. this kinda sucks when you park close to the house and walk around with your keys, your doors lock and unlock consistantly. but adjusting range should be okay.

use this and see if an installer is close to you. https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/findinstaller.asp do you plan to tackle this yourself or have a shop install if for you? well if you plan to add the glass break, they will know what to do. also you will need a bypass kit for the remote start.

well go to the shops or give them a call and find out how much they sell the entire package for installed. look for the cheapest, but ask them do they wrap everything in looms and solder their connectionos, if so then your golden.
