Stereo & Electronics - $300-600 installed, what is the baddest alarm system out there

my brother has an 2004 dodge ram 1500 4 dr. his stock wheels got stolen and now he has some badass 22's on it and he doesnt want them to be taken easily again. he is also getting stereo and dvd and all the interior goodies as well

looking for something that has door sensors, shock sensors, window sensors, motion detector, pager display (where it tells you what is happening where), and all the other nicknacks

ive heard of something called a leveling sensor where in can tell if your vehicle is being jacked up, anyone know anything about this

anyways thanks for the help in advance

1) Viper 791 XV 2 WAY ALARM SYSTEM With Remote START

2) Viper 5000 2 WAY ALARM SYSTEM [ no Remote Start ]

Picture of the remote for both those systems:

Those two have all the features you're brother will need, and then some :devil:

Their website: http://www.viper.com/

those where the ones i was looking at but they dont have the motion sensor or leveling sensor

thanks though because those seem like the best bet right now, and you can just add the other stuff

anyone else

You can add the DEI 508D to either of those alarms. It's a "motion" sensor. It uses RF I believe, and acts like radar. It's kind of a pain in the ass, and the alarm will always go off for no reason. As for the tilt and motion, dei makes the 507T, which is a tilt motion sensor. Just google either of the part numbers and you'll find them. Don't pay more than 40 bucks for either of them, they can be had for under 40, probably shipped if you look hard enough. I know cost on the 508D is right under 30. Hopefully that helps you some.

And you can find the alarms on Ebay for $200 instead of $500 at a shop.

Ebay is always much cheaper.... but I doubt he's looking to do the install himself. And most installer's wil not install an alarm that wasn't purchased through them. Real picky on alarms... not so much audio gear... but alarms they're usually a d!ck about. Keep in mind that if you install it yourself or have it installed by an unauthorized installer, you will not be covered under the company's insurance policy that is no doubt included with an alarm of that price range.

Also, the baddest alarm system out there is a tad out of your price range. Expect to pay over $1k installed.

mine too, but what is it? and also does anynone know where i can get the 5000 system? i can find the other one easily but i have a manual....automatic start is kinda moot

I say i think its called m11 i think search for it..

i can install it, he probably cant (we are 600 miles apart)

does the 507T act as the same style motion sensor as the 508D, should he just get the 507T or get both

also where are the best places to get these only if i do install them (besides ebay)

last question, if i dont install them and he gets them done in miami, you thinkhe could get out the door at a local retailer with the alarm, tilit, and motion sensor for $600

thanks

marksman M11? nah thats only like $300ish.....and i like viper better anyway, personally

Viper and DEI are the same company.

!!!!! :engarde: !!!!!!!

KEEP THIS IN MIND! Spend the extra hundred and have it install by an authorized dealer! Sounds like he has lots of money already tied up in his ride... what's a couple extra bucks for insurance that it will be replaced if stolen? No brainer to me.... :emb:

Who steals stock wheels. You must live in a stupid neighbordhood

VIPER all the way!!! :hail:

Best alarm system is 10K gigawatts to your door handle! :guns:

I have the Viper 791 XV 2 WAY ALARM SYSTEM With Remote START and it is one of the best mods I've had done to my car. Not only does it add peace of mind, the remote start is extremely functional on a hot summer day when you do not want to step into a brick oven. At Best Buy they retail for 499 for just the unit. After install and customization from the installers, the bill tallied up to $1300 with door locks installed. Lucky for me, I'm one of Best Buys finest employees so I got a little discount. Definetly worth the investment.

The Motion Detector is a piece of crap. I had two other employees have it installed in their cars and it caused nothing but trouble. It would set the alarm off when it rained, or when somebody just walked next to your car.....Just doesnt seem right when your spouse or parent leaves earlier then you in the morning, they set the alarm off everytime. Just stick with the alarm w/ two way paging. Ontop, claim it on your insurance, should be good for a discount.

yeah the general option is screw the motion detector

what about the tilt sensor. if his stock wheels got jacked, you think this may help save the 22's

I got a mercury sensor installed on my hood which will trigger the alarm when the hood is popped even so slightly. I havent tried it but I am sure when somebody attempts to jack my stock rims it will go off. The sensitivity can be adjusted from anal to regular as well. dollar for dollar worth the money.

hey what' sup man.. i work at circuit city. i would say for that price you wanna go in and check out this alarm http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Python-2-Way-Security-and-Remote-Start-System-with-Responder-Technology-PYTHON881XP-/sem/rpsm/oid/119100/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

it's everything you lookinf for the sensor your talking about can also be added to it the way that's gonna work is if that car is lifted or the ride changes level from the ground in anyway it's gonna go off.. so like if the car get's jacked up.. then it's gonna go off.. we have backup sires starter kill window sensors.. all that great stuff

You might also want to invest in some sort of hood lock. Any idiot can disable an alarm in 30 seconds(abiet it would go off for 30 seconds). Smash the window, pop the hood, cut the positive battery cable with a pair of wire cutters. Then they can put the truck on a flatbed and drive off without too much suspicion. I think they could do that in under 2 minutes if there are a team of guys that know what they're doing. If somebody wants his truck bad enough, they will get it.

no debating that!!

I know there are people out there that can take your head unit in under 20 seconds. Break the window, crowbar the hell out of the dash ... and walla!
A thief doesnt care what he does to your car, just if he gets caught. A blaring alarm doesnt do much anymore either. Most people think its some guys alarm that goes off because someone bumped it or whatever reason. They never second glance the situation and realize that your car is being thieved.

Exactly. Most people dont even take a look at someones car that has their alarm tripped. But its just piece of mind knowing your car is protected. The alarm is just one more obsticle a theif has to get through.
I personally wouldnt buy the motion sensor just cuase its damn annoying. An old lady walking to church could set it off and you'd be running your ass back and forth checking up on it. The pager alarm is a great idea, my alarm is too old to have that. But at least they're now coming with it. Gives you a great call saying someone could be fucking with your car. Just keep it relatively sensitive and it'll go off even if your fender is hardly lifted.

What nobody seems to realize is that the idea isin't to prevent anything.....it's just to make your car less of a target then the car next to you. The red blinking warning LED on your dash makes all the difference. If a theive has the choice between a car with the flashing light...or one with nothing.... mise well go for other car, right? Those fake flashing LEDs that are sold which aren't even an alarm system are almost as effective. Starter kill is the biggest plus after that. Just so they don't make off with the whole damn car..... :bang:

I'll sell you a 791XV Viper Alarm/Remote Start for $250.00 uninstalled. PM me if you're interested.

Sounds like he needs a good set of wheel locks. As far as the motion sensor, you could always put a toggle on it, so you could turn it off whenever.

why dont u just get those lug nuts 4 the wheels that have a lock on them there is no way 2 get em off without the key unless u go 2 a special place 2 do it

So your saying someone cant drill the wheel locks off?
