Car alarm recommendations please
I was considering getting an aftermarket car alarm for my '04 TL. I very much like the 'built-in' functions of the keyfob (driver identification, windows down, trunk release, interior dome light on, etc.). I would like an alarm that would allow me to use all of those built-in functions AND activate the alarm via ONE keyfob.
If I can avoid it, I would prefer to NOT add the above features as a second, independent feature of the alarm system... the built-in ones are fine for me.
Any input / suggestions? Anyone tried this/done this?
Thanks,
Garrett

What you are looking for is a Hornet 700T by Directed Electronics the maker of Viper alarms. This piggybacks on your Acura keyless entry system. It will give you starter kill, point of entry protection and a two stage shock sensor. Consider adding a 507T digital tilt sensor and a 1020GPS tracking system. All this and it works with the factory key fobs.

I like the Viper Responder but the "remote" is this huge cellular phone looking thing. Does alot, but hate that huge thing being tied to your hip. The GPS, tilt sensor, shock sensors all sound like good ideas. Viper is made by Directed also.

More is better ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

So, does anyone else have any personal experience with aftermarket alarms?
And would you trust those local roadside "CAR ALARMS INSTALLED" and "CAR STEREO SYSTEMS INSTALLED" stores?
(any suggested trustworthy places in central jersey?)
