I originally was looking at the Viper 5901 systems for my '99 Civic EX but my mom's Honda Pilot had this system so I tried this one instead. Besides being a steal of a price for a DEI unit, the install wasn't terrible either. I added a digital tilt sensor, backup battery, and proximity sensor as well as a stealth install. All of the DEI products worked flawlessly. The range on the remote isn't bad and the alarm has been working well for over 4 months. I am pleased with the product.

Recomend proffesional installer or knowledge of electrical systems. took me 6 hrs for a very clean install myself...to me it was long and hard b/c of the vehicle but as noted not for the unexperienced.. I strongly recommend adding tilt sensor which is actually more important then impact. Incase your car or truck is getting towed lol.. Kit does come with a remote start bypass switch which can be good incase your partner keys hits the remote start but the 2 way notifies you if the switch is inhibting. Kit comes with very long wiring harness but do note some vehicles may need the imoblizer unit added to it... the range on the 2 way is not too bad meaning i was in the back of walmart and was able to still comunicate with the vehicle and check temp/start/ unlock/violate...your able to check the temp in the vehicle and add on window automation roll up as well..I bought this same unit in the store and should have bought it online. only down side is that it should of came with two 2way remotes since my partner and I argue over it.....the 2way remote is not bulky but made of decent plastic. 120 bucks for a highly above decent 2way alarm not bad... items to added imoblizer for remote start key coded auto* +++++tilt sensor* +++++battery back up* proximity *+++++++++ extra hood trigger or contact pin for gas lid on autos that dont have locking gas cap. b/c i'm always worried if someone jacks my car jacks my wheels jacks my gas and jacks me .. : o ) military ready alarm for a economical price. Onstar is good but doesnt check all... yet...

2.0 out of 5 stars No support for product from manufacturer., December 19, 2011

Bought product with understanding that it had no warranty if I installed the unit. That's OK, most of these warranties are useless (I installed it wrong, dropped it, got it wet, etc.). All of you know what I mean. Again, I understand, but in this case I expected some support from the web site on the installation. WRONG on my part, they will only allow access to there web site if you are a registered installer. Can you believe that.

To make the hookup in a newer vehicle you will need the service manual for your vehicle. I don't mean the one you get with the car but the manual with circuit diagrams, etc. I have it for my vehicle, which helped in the installation. I also went to the BullDog site and guess what if you enter your vehicle (year, model, etc.) they have a simplified chart showing what wires to connect with the color and location.

You would think DEI would have something like this on there site, maybe they do but you won't be able to access it.

My recommendation, if you have money to throw away buy it and let someone install it. If your like most of us, DO NOT BUY a DEI product. Buy one from some other manufacturer. It works but support does not exist.

I think any of the sellers of DEI products should put a warning in there description that the product is not supported by the manufacturer. This item was purchased thru Amazon, I don't blame Amazon or the seller, but be careful.
