Shopping for new vehicle security system for the X

If you can feed and put up with their lazy butts, they are yours.

Tyler though might say otherwise. He LOVES his Kyra Dog and Vic Dog and they kinda like him too.

I have the prestige 996A 2 way remote start system and I like it. Only thing I dont like is sometime it goes off when remote started and still armed, so I just disarm it and then start. Good range and I love the 2 way pager thing. 2 way is the way to go for sure.

Have to agree about the two way....
As part of every new vehicle negotiation ever since I first had a remote start... once I think I've gotten all outta the that I can I get them to toss in a remote start...
So I've had remote starts on the last batch of cars and Ex's
while all had more features than I ever used, haven't gotten one with two way communication and always wonder if the truck started when I was not in line of sight to SEE the lights come on..

The two way is the only feature I wish I had !!!
of all the other neat features on mine, the only one I've used other than the plain jane remote start is the turbo cool down... and I only used that ONCE
so features don't really blo my skirt any more

(Remember the North Tex PS club meet at prestige when some were leaning on the bull bar on the 03 Ex and I hit the remote ??? Thought I was gonna be lynched )
a lot of the big box electronic stores have the remotes now too...
like Fry's, best buy, etc...

I'm watching this thread...so what are the real benefits of 2way ? is it
that you have confirmation of the truck started / running ? anything else ?

Whats the possiblity of doing this install myself ? are instructions included ?

yes and it even tells you it just got stolen, anf if the gps tracker is added it will tell you where its going and what speed, but thats a seperate service rider, it will also tell you if its been tripped or bumped but not opened, status .
Whats the possiblity of doing this install myself ? are instructions included ?

you can do the install yourself its pretty straight forward.....however dei will not honor the warranty if its a DIY install
