I like the Ultrastart 2250... nice "basic" remote/alarm.. guess instillation is just about the same on all of em.. they all have there up and downs... have had 1 factory defective since i started using them... no comebacks cept maybe a retarted customer.. no biggie.

The only experience w/ omega is that I have done some K-9 alarms and i like the them. I want to find an alarm with plenty of onboard relays. This would make the install much less time consuming.

Jumperable onboard relays would be bad ass... neat idea... negative door lock/unlock needed? place the jumper "here" 5wire reversal? place jumper "here" positive pulse? "here" 3rd ignition output? connect grey wire. Bypass unit being installed? use "these" wires for your power/trigger .... better yet... Transponder/passlock/ect .. plug loop in here.... sit transponder "here" or flip "these" switches. mebbe a bit much.... but would be awesome to have an all inclusive model

i have done about 150 code alarm/ford units and have had 4 bad, that is unacceptable to me, but working at a dealer i have to do them. onboard relays and all that other stuff do not mean a thing if you have to take it all back off because of product failure. i usuallly convince the customers to go with pursuit/audiovox instead. and yes i know audiovox owns code alarm.

I looked at the code alarm pro 300, and yes it does have a ton onboard relays (even starter kill). But wow...$110 for just the alarm? I guess you get what you pay for!

the code alarm elite 7600 has all the features we are discussing plus window modules built in and even latching realays for 85 dollars, nothing much compares

Yup..And the alarms have a built in shock sensor which you set through programming and has the most precise setting I've ever seen..

i got to say viper(DEI). like those newer model like viper 791xv, just did two of those past weeks and it has gotten easier. especially the remote start relay pack, it doesnt use those bosch type relay pack, rather it use mini type relay and boxed (very clean). the relay pack has a built in starter interrupt relay, so no more extra relay hooking up to "ground when arm".
