Car Alarms - What is on the market

[JJ30]

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.

Luke,
Please PM me with a quote for a similar alarm system. (I PMed you last week to no avail). Also would like to see a picture of remotes. Thanks,
JJ

They have some remotes with a bunch of stuff to them, way more than even the Clifford masters.

Most alarms offer the option to control secondary devices. Trunk release, turn on headlights, roll windows up/down, turn on radio...whatever.

Some alarms have several AUX outputs. There was one in the early 90's with 122 AUX outs, and a 10 key remote to control them.

Some AUX outs are controllable, meaning they can be a "Push on, Push off" type (latched) a "Momentary" type or a "timed pulse".

Luke

I think I remember that alarm with the 10 key remote - or was it 12? I take it no one sells anything close to that anymore?

Are you just losing the lock cylinders, or are you doing door pop too?

I have considered full shave. I am definately going to motorise my trunk lid. I am halfway through popping the hood. So much to do, and so little time.

Luke

Just the lock itself, I'd like to keep central locking if possible (keeping trunk lock). If the kit allows me I'll shave the trunklock too.

That 5000RS looks like a nice basic setup, I'll need this when I shave my doorlocks, talk to you soon Luke!

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

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.

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 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.

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?

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.
