Thanks.

I`ve had two installed at Best Buy and never had a problem with them. Little expensive though.

Prestige has the most reliable systems from installation experience. They just don`t fail. Try this one if you want 2-way, and if not, try this one

yeah, prestige is a fairly fail-proof brand. it`s made by audiovox, and haven`t seen many problems out of them. I`m partial to DEI personally, but there are other great brands out there.

BTW, DEI includes Viper, Clifford, and others. All good. The new VXL lines have something like 1/2 mile range...amazing.

From experience, and other I have heard stay away from DEI. I want to upgrade to Compustar, 6,000 foot range.......I will eventually get back to my car LOL!

I`ve had 3 DEI Remote Start systems, and haven`t had any problems with them at all. One was a Viper, and the other two were Cliffords.

My suggestion is go with the one that offers you both, the features you are looking for, AND a very good warranty. If a problem should arise, you want someone that you can go to for help, and won`t give you problems. This goes for any aftermarket type automotive product, but mostly for electronics, imo. There are a lot of really good brands out there at a vast range of pricing. I`d shop the seller/installer/warranty provider more than the product on this one, within reason of course.

I love my CompuStar. Over 1 mile range.

I have had five or six DEI system, absolutely no issues, even washed/abused the heck out of remotes and they still came back for more. Also have friends that have a stereo store, they love DEI.
