Clifford or Viper. Alpine alarms suck. Stick with a company that only makes alarms.

I've also started to hear bad things about Compustar. Sounds like very cheap components/assembly.

Well the company that makes Viper & a few other alarm systems DEI purchased Clifford a few years ago. They still sell Clifford alarms as Cifford. www.clifford.com

Well I guess you have made up you mind then. No Viper, so that leaves clifford, Alpine, or Compustar. I never had anything but Viper, & had no issues. Bottom line is an alarm now days is just a noise maker with features. No one pays any attention to an alarm going off, if someone wants to steal your car bad enough, they will, If they don't then your car will be all messed up from the damage they will cause tring to steal it.
