Review 1 of 2 Year / Model Reviewed: 1991 Honda CRX Si Summary: If you're looking for an advanced, different security system, this is definitely the way to go. Rock solid Alpine security, plus a lot of cool features and integration with Alpine head units.
Use a couple of relays to setup a Turbo Timer off one of the timed outputs..saves you a hundred bucks (plus installation headaches of integrating a Turbo Timer and an alarm).
Stay away if you just want a simple alarm. This one is a really cool system! Strengths: I love this security system! The LCD Display is AWESOME and my security system doubles as a turbo timer! Multiple configurable outputs, Mobile Mayday telematics connection reports tripped sensor information to the OnGuard Response Center, can control Alpine head units, cool looking 5 button remote, and best of all, all of the adjustments can be made by looking at the LCD Display (no need to count chirps or flashing LEDs, or change dip switches in the brain). The LCD display also shows date/time of the exact tripped sensor, tells me whether or not the doors or hood/trunk were left open, BATTERY VOLTAGE, and shows a countdown display for the timed output (configurable in increments of 15, 30, 45 secs, or 1 through 10 minutes). Also has double door unlock outputs to enable first door unlock/all door unlock. This ain't no ordinary "alarm." This security system rocks! Weaknesses: No built in door lock relays, but that wasn't a problem for me since I ran aftermarket actuators which required separate relays anyway (to run switches to). Similar Products Used: Alpine SEC-8058, Viper 500HF, Viper 800, Clifford.
