Car Alarms - What is on the market

[UNHCLL]

What is worth looking at on the market?

I don't care about remote start
I don't care about trunk popping
I don't care about window roll-up/down


I DO care about:
-Keyless entry
-Battery Back-up
-Audible alarm
-Light flash
-Choice between auto-lock and manually activating alarm


I do not need a pager
I do not want a large fob hanging off the key
Proximity sensors are not of great concern...


Thanks,
Chris

im lookin into the codealarm like CA-150 or something

My big seller on R3V is a Galaxy 5000 from Scytek Remote start, keyless, 1 AUX output, nearly 1/4 mile range, excellent basic system.

I use Scytek because they actually manufacture their own alarms, unlike most other companies.

Unbelieveably cheap, in stock, available for damn near immediate shipping, same as I use in all of my cars.

You will require 2 relays, but I recommend doing domelight surveillance and horn honk, so 2 more relays for that.

Should take about 4 to5 hours to install...not all that tough. I can provide tech support to whatever degreee you might need.

PM me for a price. Visa/MC only, over the phone.

here's my situation please help

I know I have a working original HOFCO alarm in my e30 but no transmitter. I’ve called HOFCO but have had no luck. They took my CC# and said they have sent out replacement remotes twice. I doubt that they did since they did not charge my CC and its been 2 months.

Any options for replicating the transmitter signal without the original remote. I can tell there is a code on the brain that is what I used to try and order a replacement from them but they are just not sending me out anything. Other than that I may use the existing wiring and wire up a new alarm. How hard is it to do since there is one in there already? Anyone have a wiring diagram from HOFCO? Anyone with a HoFco remote they can program for me if I give you whats on the brain?

Okay no problem. Didn't know if it went through because I had a full box at the time

unitedautosecurity stuff is actually pretty decent. Have it now for 6 month already and still working great.

I have a Clifford 'fancy ass' on my M3 (actually got it used from an install buddy)....Solara??? IDK, it was $200 installed, and it locks the doors.

Anyhow, I like it a lttle better than the Alpine in the Landcruiser because the Alpine likes to 'false trip' due to barometeric changes, and the Clifford doesn't. I have had my install buddy play around with the settings a couple times, but limited sucess. Plus I'm not overly concerned, Landcruisers are replaceable.

Also, I think the Clifford remotes are a little more resiliant to getting dropped a dozen times moreso than the Alpine.

But Luke will come along and say both my alarms are crap, and suggest some name none of us ever heard of, since we aren't in the industry. Right, Luke?

Oh SURE, Mushyflesh, sure....

I just like Scytek 'cause they are cheap and reliable.

What I sell them for to R3Vers is less than cost for most known brands.

I gotta figure out how to use those smilies....I was truely playing around, Luke.

I just get a kick seeing you talk about a bunch of brands that leave me thinking "WTH? - who are these companies?"

I'm far from knowledgeable on the 12v world, so unless it's like Alpine, Eclipse, Kicker, etc. - I don't know what the heck anybody is saying, let alone when you talk about these lesser known brands, and that they actually work / perform better than the big name goodies.

Game on.

Uh huh...sure.

But I knew you was playin'.

Scytek has been building everyone elses stuff for 24 years. Retail in the last 2 only.

I still wanna see that HT setup...I will be at the picnic...you could invite me, y'know.
