Car alarm installation

spinhead · 06-18-2010, 11:21 AM

My wheels got stolen recently (yes I had the wheel locks), and a garage just isn't an option for another year. So I'd like to get a nice 2 way car alarm with a tilt sensor. Can anyone recommend a good place to go for this in the DC area?

Thanks

That is why I don't buy a new car if I don't have a garage. SUCKS bro!

Hope you find a decent shop up there!

Happened in Germantown, outside my apartment building. Came out in the morning, car is sitting on blocks. I called the cops right away, they wouldn't even come out, made me do a report on the phone. There's more police here than any other suburb I've lived in, and they're "too busy" to come out. I talked to the leasing office a few days later, and they said someone else in the neighborhood got jacked the night after I did.

In the end I made out pretty well. Insurance is covering everything minus the deductable, and I'm getting the Advan RS-Ds for about 1200 less than the stock Rays. But I still feel like sh!t about it; it was really dumb not to have an alarm on the car.

type your zip code in here.

Viper - Store Locator

This is how i found my shop that i had mine installed with. I went with the Viper 3303 with tilt sensor and audio glass break sensor and viper smart start. the 3303 gives you a 2000 foot range, no remote start. if yo go with the 5901, which is more expensive, you get remote start and a 1 mile range on the remote. I got the viper smart which gives me infinite range. You can basically get an alarm with a 2000 foot range PLUS viper smart start (infinite range) for the same $ as the 5901 WITH remote start with a 1 Mile range and NO smart start. The whole tihng cost me about 1100 dollars after tax etc.

sorry to babble, i'm sure the installer will explain all your options.
