I met Drizzay with his brand new TL-S last Saturday at the DC/MD/VA MEET. I was asking the same thing about the memory seats. But even if you get aftermarket alarm you still have the button on the door to position your seats. I got a Clifford System put in my 2000TL the day after I picked up from the dealer. I gave up the feature of the drivers door not locking if the key was in the ignition.I have my alarm arm without pressing the button at a preset time.
If you guys give up the memory seat position on the remote its not that big of a deal.

Yea, It really isn't a big deal if you give up the memory seats. Heck, the 2001's don't even come witht them.

I'm considering getting the Viper 550 ESP with/ Proximity sensor, Glass tamper thingy, Tilt/Motion sensor and it also has a starter too. Cost about $5-700 for the whole package, installed.

I have a clifford with auto arm/auto lock, and the autolocking feature is just trouble waiting to happen. Don't accidently leave your keys in the car, or you'll be locked out in 30 seconds...

Parvo99: Iam use to this feature I had it on my 94 Accord. I had an Alpine alarm in it with this feature.I had that car with its alarm for 6yrs.I always carry my spare key in my wallet.With the Accord for the first year the car locked me out more than a few times.I always had the spare key so this was not a problem. When you keep the spare key in your wallet you will be safe.I have not had any problems with the TL.

I went to an after-market dealer today to discuss a Viper. He said the dealer would try to void my warranty as it relates to electrical if he saw an after market alarm. He suggested a system that would work with my existing remote and would appear to have been installed by the dealer. All four doors, trunk, shock/glass breakage, override for (only) $500.

Then, upon questioning, he lost all remaining credibility when he told me that the car only has engine immobilization and no security system. The manual says differently but I don't have a Slim Jim to verify.

I think I'll keep it stock for the moment and spend fewer bucks on a good radar detector.

I personally installed a new alarm system on my other Honda. It's a new alarm on the market called ALaddin made by a company called Televideo ( www.televideo.com) it has engine start,programmable engine start, and its a two way tranmittor like a pager so you can know if your car is armed or if your alarm went off.

If you guys are interested in this alarm, please contact me since I can get good deals with that company.

Mugenua: What is the approximate cost and will it void the electrical warranty? Thanks

Don't let them fool you with that warranty issue. The dealers will try to scare you & say aftermarket alarms & other things that may void vehicle warranty. I think I read something about this on Edmunds.com last year the dealer will have to have proof that the device caused the problem.This is why you should go to a good installer. I will try & find the info on aftermarket legal issue. The dealer did scare me in not getting the autostart when I got my car saying they had problem with cars. I did however get my aftermarket Clifford alarm installed without autostart feature. I can add it to my system at any time so when the installer has a sale agian I might do so.

tlsdave: The alarm cost around 350 not including installation but I'm sure I can try to bring the price down..

it's has a cool transmittor with an LCD screen and tells you if you had arm the car and a lot of other goodies !

wow .. that IS pretty ubercool my question is .. how far is the range on the remote before it is no longer able to page you or communicate with the car?

MUGENUA

1000FT but if you cut an cable on the brain it can be 3000ft..

MUGENUA
