"factory security" simply does not provide the protection you need to keep your
vehicle and its contents safe.

General Comments
Overall the Viper 460XV alarm system is a must for any car. It has many features
such as 3 point immobilization, field disturbance sensors, a siren that charges
itself up when the engine is running, and many programmable options via the remote
control key fob. This product is highly recommended. You could fit it your self
if you have an advanced technical knowledge in electrics, if not, then you'd probably
be best taking it to a garage/alarm specialist to do, as it really is a complicated
system and at best takes an entire day to do.
Viper 5701
Good Points
Decent range, ease of use, always starts up first time, multiple options, silent
alarm, sleek design, to name a few..
Bad Points
None known
General Comments
This is a well built product with much thought put into it. The two way feature
is nice and powersaving compared to other two way remotes. With normal use you should
get about a year before you have to change the lithium ion.
Viper 5900SST 2 Way Alarm & Remote Start
General Comments
This Responder SST System from Viper is a 2-way Security and Remote Start system!
The interactive display on your Responder remote confirms all commands – virtually
instantly – with easy to understand icons and text. It alerts users to security
system triggers by beeping or vibrating when out of audible range of the siren.
And of course this system will also start your vehicle with the push of a button,
and you will get confirmation back that it started from up to one mile away. Please
refer to the technology section for more information about Responder SST technology.

If you are looking for a top of the line car starter and security system this one
fits the bill. I was primarily looking for a car starter with some security and
ended up getting a top of line starter/security system with 2 way remote. The system
starts the car and the remote shows you a "puff" of smoke to indicate it has started.
The remote also gives you all kinds of information, doors ajar, locked, unlocked
and.....if someone tries to enter the car through a door, hood, trunk or glass the
unit will display this on the remote. The distance it works from is very good.
Note, if your car is equipped with an immobilizer key, you will also have to get
the bypass unit. If you do need a bypass unit be sure to go to your auto dealer
prior to installation to get an extra key made and programmed, bring all of your
car keys because they will most likely need to reprogram all of them.
If you are a first time buyer for a car starter/security system I strongly recommend
that you download and read the entire manual before purchasing, this will give you
the ability to ask questions and have the system and remote set to the options you
want, including remote illumination, car run time, etc. After I left the dealer
and read the manual I realized that there were things they did not explain to me,
and there were items I did not want set to the defaults, for instance, the default
running time for the car is 12 minutes. I went back to the dealer and had them change
it to 24 minutes. Also, using the valet mode for servicing etc is not really explained
in the manual. Be sure to have the dealer explain this to you and how to use the
remote to enter the valet mode.
Note: According to the manual, the unit must be installed by a licensed dealer or
the warranty is voided.
If you are looking for a car starter and would not mind paying a little extra, I
highly recommend this until Bottom line, if you want a warm car in the winter or
a cool one in the summer along with added security and a really cool remote, this
unit is worth the extra cost.
