I'm looking to get an alarm installed and very likely a remote start. Has anyone here had one installed? What did you get, who did the work, and are you happy with the outcome?

 

I am not from Kansas City but will atleast give you some alarm info. I would get a system from directed. They have many brands but all sell the same top of the line unitunder different names. It just depends which line your local places carries. Here are several of the lines.

Viper 791xv

Clifford Matrix 3.5

Python 881XP

All 3 of these are exactly the same alarm systems. Don't ask me why they sell it under 3 names. each one has a different color remote but they do exactly the same thing and function in exactly the same way. I have the Viper 791x in my car and my mom has the Python 881xp on her conversion van. I have checked everything and they work exactly the same. Clifford is also in the process of building some super alarm with a transponder range of 2miles however this thing was announced at last years CES show and has still not been released. It has been stated though that it is going to cost around 1k for that system though.

 

I suggest you call Rob Clark. He has done this work for years and have installed various items on my vehicle. He is very reasonable and does excellent work. (816) 699-4334
