That being said, the install really is more important the the product. An eBay alarm/starter would work more reliably if installed by a pro, than the fanciest Viper/Compustart system installed by a kid at a big box store.

I agree, but not all big box installers are bad..

i actually went from 10years in a ma-pa shop back to a big box to make more money and bennies. i brought vast knowledge with so i became that "go-to" guy for my store and the others in my area.

on the flip side i have seen plenty of installers at the ma-pa shops do their fair share of ****** work to just to get the job in and out.

As for brands i have installed viper (dei), compustar, audiovox, autopage. all have their good and bad. the problem to a forum is you get lots of opinions. this time you will get answers from the users of what they have or the installer of usually what they install.

Good choice... if i could make one recommendation for out the little extra and get a smart start also. that way you can start it via an app from your phone.

Are you going to put it in your '04? do you have a black or gray key? if black you dont have the chip in the key so the price may be alot cheaper than his since he needs the bypass module.
