I have had this alarm for about 7 months and I think Im better off with out it. The key remote to this alarm system is junk. I have bought 4 remotes and only one works at this time. They break real easy. You cant keep them in your pocket because it will reset the alarm. The alarm part is fine its just the key remotes that suck. If you read the book that comes with the alarm, it says that the battery life will last up to 1 year..... You will be lucky to get 2 months out of it. The batterys are up to [...] a pop. Your better off with a poodle in the back seat.

The car just sits there. You try again. Nothing. Funny...remote was working the previous day and the light IS flashing.
You search frantically for your wife's keys as your child is wheezing and hacking up a lung.
You find them and luckily HER remote DOES work.
Next day change battery on your remote...still no luck, the remote no longer unlocks, opens, or disarms.
How exactly can I trust this unit to not fail on my wife when she is out with small children? I am so thoroughly disgusted right now that I'm contemplating bringing my car back to the installers and having this unit ripped out. Not worth the change of disaster given the terrible remotes and...Read more
