Go with a viper system, this is my third on a diffrent vehicle and swear by them. They might be a little expensive but well worth the money. I suggest the two way system.

 

Do any of you know the part number of the part you put the extra key into on the Viper 791xv

 

It's listed as 556u Chip-key holder module on my invoice

 

Thanks, I will look on line for it.

I had a Compustar installed when I lived in Alaska and I was very happy with it.

^^ Dave, how much did it cost you? And is there a link online somewhere where you can look at the various Ford systems?

 

the ebay key worked without a hitch

 

Cost... Lets see.... I think I got a little ripped off, but with what I paid for the rest, I think it worked out.... We paid 599.00 for a pro install by an alarm shop through the dealer so it is completely warranteed.

I havent quite figured out how to use all the features and set some of the settings, but I am sure I will when I have a few minutes.

So far, I set the alarm off in front of a bunch of people, I started the truck from in the video store, walked up to it, unlocked the door and didnt put the Key in soon enough and the alarm went off. Pretty neat.

Anyway, I will let you know how it goes. I have not seen anywhere online to look at them except www.FordParts.com, I think that was it. They happen to have most parts at up to 40 percent off. Most prices I saw were cheaper than anywhere else.

Let me know what you find. I am thinking about putting a Clifford or Viper in my 99 F-150 due the price and bells and whistles.

Price included all of the parts above and memory seats, etc...

 

Also, mine says it works from over a thousand feet. I believe that to be the case, cause i started mine from inside costco, and it started clear at the far end of a large parking lot!

 

Anyone have any experience with AstroStart remote starters? That's the only brand I see advertised in my area. Ad says it has up to 2000 ft range.

 

You dont want an alarm system to go with it?

Dave

 

Yeah I would like an alarm. The AstroStart model 5204 is alarm/remote start. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with this brand.
