Python 991 Responder LC3 SST Security/Remote Start System

Comment: I bought this intending to install it myself. It does not come with any installation instructions at all. The quick reference guide refers to the Directed Electronics website for an installation guide, but if you are not a dealer or registered installer this does not work. Their website itself will not allow you to open any of the menus unless you have a number given to you by the dealer you bought the unit from. I bought it here at Amazon, so I don't have this magic number. There are no phone numbers at all, in the box or on the DE site, when the "contact us" link is clicked on the DE site, it takes you nowhere. I called Amazon twice, even they had a hard time finding any good contact info for for Directed Electronics. (DE customer service 800-753-0600). I called DE twice, both times I sat on hold for about 20 minutes before talking to a live person. I was told by DE customer service that since I bought through Amazon, if I have it installed by a local dealer, (even a dealer listed on their website as one of their local dealers), I would not be covered by the DE warranty. Very disappointing. I think when I do get a system, it will definitely not be a DE system. I am returning this one to Amazon.

Comment: Has to be the absolute best on the market. Does everything.
Even starts the car!!

Comment: I was skeptical at first because it sounded like kind of a high price for some of the same features as some other remote start but I am GLAD I got this. It works perfect. I have a 94' 300zx that I wanted to protect with all my heart and this does it. The remote start was just icing on the cake. I had Frys Electronics install it. Cost 200 but it took them several hours and it works flawless.

One of the best parts about this is the LCD remote. It goes up to a mile away and it really does do everything. One thing not mentioned here is you can change the LCD color in the menu options which is awesome, the default display annoys me haha. But seriously, this is a great product, the brain of the alarm is massive and you better have some real good knowledge of what you are doing with this thing, it has a bunch of relays and seriously if it malfunctions at some point, I may be helpless. But Python is a great brand and I am really pleased with this purchase. The blue indication light (also is a lcd antenna) is a great deterrant light (bright LED Blue).

I tried to break into my own car (which I know how to do quite well from a few lockout issues and this really does work good. The shock sensor picks up attempts and does a low warning tone, anything in excess of that and it goes into a full scale alarm siren and your lcd remote will vibrate/flash. I also tried the tilt sensor add on and it really works great, I jacked up the car about a foot off the ground and my alarm went off. Im curious as to if i parked on a hill if this would also be the case (or a long driveway) but I havent tested that.

What else can I say I love this alarm system, and got it on amazon for 224 at the time with free 2-day shipping, cant find it in stores for under 300....

Oh and I highly recommend you get their added bundle its well worth it, the backup battery and tilt sensor are well worth the extra few dollars if you are buying this system.

Thats it, get this alarm you wont be sorry!

Comment: this is the best remote starter ive had by far. ive been an installer for five years and python is the brand i recommend to all my customers, they have a 1% failure rate out of about 1000 installs. thats really good for anything electronic in a vehicle. and the fact that you can charge the remote is the best feature, i dont know how many aaa batteries ive went through in the last 4 years with my old 881xp remote starter but it has to be about fifty. if your in the market for a remote starter with 2 way remotes look no further, the python will be there for you, if its 20 below, or its 100 degrees you'll get in your car at the right temperature with one look at the remote the temperature is right on the display!

Comment: Bought this awhile back ago cause I was determined to not get into a 100+ degree car as I left work in Arizona. Had this installed by a local dealer and it's functioned great. The range is fantastic, I have been in a conference room on the third floor of my building and was able to start my car which was parked in the parking structure next door.

I would have given this 5 stars if not for the gripe that the remote do not really take wear and tear well. After only a year usage, the remote has not had pretty much all the paint chipped off and the screen has scratches in several areas.

All in all would recommend this remote start/security from Python however if they could only improve the quality of the remote construction I would be a lifetime buyer of future products by Python (DEI).
