OT: VADAR ALARM

okay guys here is the link for the review done on the vadar alarm...read up... and if you guys are really serious about getting this alarm let me know....for sure...when you guys wanna do this and how many of you guys...so i can talk to Alan at kennedy hi fi...and he will give us the best deal possible...for installation i have had it for about a month now...and its amazing....the range is great...so before you do the magic car...GB...ask gusto about the alarm..he sells them to...see if he would put it on his car...remember...you get what you pay for.........

count me in..
it's a hell of a lot cheaper than what i got quoted yesterday in Mississauga for it installed ($600+)
but like i said in the other thread about the Vader, i don't wanna have to leave my wheels there to get it done..
if it takes them 8 hours to install it fine, but i gotta be able to drive away the same day with it working beauty..

btw..what all is this going to include as far as functions??
i know it has all kinds of optional "uses", but what will actually be functional..
i don't need remote start so will that make it cheaper than if that WAS included in the "package deal"??
will it save me from someone cutting the battery cables and then opening doors etc. (so in other words, will it operate on pin-switches or on power draw (light activation)??)..

tia..DA

That friggen pager is so damn fugly.

I'll pass on the Vadar. It may work good, but looks count too.

I'm up for either AutoPage, or Clifford... (Mind you, the Clifford pager looks fugly too, but those buttons on the Vadar labelled I, II, III is just so damned tacky.) [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

im still down for vadar over magicar...

magicar didn't have too much information about their 2001 model alarm... it was a bery vague/general description... and it was not a review on their system, so i wouln't know how reliable it is...

on the other hand while reading the pasmag info.. now i know what "Piezoelectric" devices are[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] and it's convincing.. hehe...

edit: who cares about what this alarm looks like.. it seems to be very reliable.. hehe...

you should be able to finetune the sensitivity on all of these alarms to your liking...

I'm not saying I'm out, I'm just saying that I want to look at a few other for comparison [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Besides you said you were probably going to wait until mid-August anyways right? Plenty of time...
