That's not bad...I got my Viper 791XV two yrs ago for about $300 plus $120 or so for installation. I got the unit from a reputable ebay seller. But make sure you have it installed by an authorized Directed (Viper, etc.) installer---for warranty and peace of mind.

find yourself a best buy. lifetime warranty on install, and since they are authorized viper/dei dealers then your lifetime warranty thru viper is valid.

most reputable installers won't touch units that aren't purchased from them.

$400 is a great price for a great unit

I thought I saw one in the $200's from circuit city or best buy. Had the little remote that shows if a door is open or trunk and all that. Don't know the make of it though. Did you look there?

Even if I was "imagining things" I'm sure that one is a lot better than the factor and it cost a lot less so even at that price you're better off than stock.

Ya it is, and you also need the XK module. Dont forget about that little piece.

What's XK module ?

You can pick up an aluminum baseball bat at Wal Mart for around 30 bucks....

xk05 to bypass the immobilizer, it retails at $80 and an additional $30 in labor.

Best buy ONLY carries dei products so any alarm you get from them is kosher. If you wanna stay on the cheap look for a store that still has a 771 or 791 hangin around that they're tryin to get rid of... Granted, you don't get the mile range like you do with the 5900...

Ya they are much better than the 556UW where you have to put a spare key in the box then hide it under the dash. If they do it right it also hooks up to the factory alarm/disarm and the stock security light. A bunch of other little cool things.
