  • buying a car alarm

    i'm looking into buying a car alarm for my formula. i got about $180 put aside for one, so i would like to keep it in that range. i would like it to have keyless entry and remote start. i have been looking around and found this one, http://www.commandocaralarms.com/ite...ProductID=1523. what do you guys think? any suggestions?

    You will need the passport sensor or go to shbox.com and get the key sense bypass for your firebird. didn't notice range though most say 350-500 ft. Maybe I missed it.Are you going to install it your self.
    Edit: went back and looked said 2500 ft range so thats good.

      i would assume that i would need the passport sensor because it came with a factory keyless entry, correct? cuz i know nothing ! which probley answers the install question. unless derek is willing to waste a night with me doing it if he knows how, i'll probley end up taking it to best buy for the install. i may have a few other friends who could help tho.

          I would love a viper! if you could find me one with all the stuff i wanted for about $180 i would buy it in a heart beat! but considering the basic alarms that i found from viper were way more then that, i think i have to look elsewhere

            I think you would do better to buy it where they will install it.

                Fixed it for you derek, i think its what you ment to say! I would just like one really, not for any special reason. so i figured while i was at it i would throw in the keyless entry and remote start. Don't you have an alarm? cuz if you think that way about your car, i wouldn't even lock it up while you got it sittin in that garage behind the shop!

                  Code-Alarm.

                  I had one in my Camaro, and have one in my Cobalt. My dad has one in his truck.

                  All of them had car starts, and aren't horribly expensive (well, when you get them for cost, they're not).

                      Yeah. It just won't do the locks. But it'll have a shock sensor, and should tell if the doors are opened while it's armed. It also won't start the car if armed...
