Good morning!
The new baby ('91) didn't come with the remote entry system - never installed. This is an annoyance. So, it's off to the aftermarket to find one that includes the door remote entry (with chirp!) and remote popper for the trunk. Okay, I'm lazy & spoiled.
First question: Should I look for a simple keyless entry system, or for a system that includes a new alarm? I.e., is the built-in alarm "good enough"?
Second: Any feedback on the Best Buy Viper 211HV keyless entry ($149 installed) or Viper 350HV keyless+security ($219 installed)?
Third: Any other advice? As an alternative to Best Buy (about whom I've heard mixed reviews), are there any good installers in the SF Bay Area that you would recommend?
By the way, I've read through the Forum, and although most of the message threads appear old, the consensus seems to be that a) the built-in alarm is not very good, and b) that when installing a new alarm system, it's best to permanently disable the built-in one first. Is that still the consensus?
