Installing the alarm system is simple. You just have to plan out what features you want to install. Use Relays!! Read! Read! Read! If you don't have a wiring diagram for your vehical,get one. Guessing can be Very Costly. Have it installed. Well worth the money.

I am generally very pleased with this product. I am no mechanic, but I have done various types of wiring on a car (stereo, fog lights, subwoofers, rewiring of OEM systems, etc.). This was obviously more in depth than any normal stereo installations. For me, the installation took a little longer than expected (7-8 hours). This was due in part to various distractions, lack of proper tools to dissemble/reassemble my vehicle's dash and other components, and time spent researching some wiring diagrams for my '96 Jeep Cherokee. Once installed, however, this product works amazingly (as one would expect for a system that originally costs $270). It starts the engine up without any overstart/grinding and kills the engine quickly when asked to. The siren is fairly audible and the system outputs to the horn when the alarm is triggered for that extra attention. I would definitely recommend getting all relevant wiring diagrams for your vehicle and necessary tools together before starting the installation process.

To any of you Jeep Cherokee owners reading this, if your Cherokee is equipped with factory keyless entry (as was mine), you have a POSITIVE triggered locking system, so you'll need to obtain a couple of relays and relay holders and wire accordingly, tieing into the Orange/Purple (LOCK) wire and Pink/Purple (UNLOCK) wire located in the Red Connector under the driver-side kick-panel. Here's a direct link to the .pdf file I pulled this information from. [...]

The Crimestopper SP-400 Alarm with Remote Start and Keyless entry system is a great product.
I am extremely satisfied with the performance and quality of the product.
It would be difficult to install if you do not have any electrical experience in the Automotive field.
If you do not have any experience, I would suggest to get it installed by a professional.
I am a Auto mechanic, so I have access to vehicle wiring diagrams.
I wish they had a more detailed wiring diagram with the product, the basics are there, but if you are not
familiar with the vehicle you are wiring, it will be difficult.
But, I am very satisfied with the finished product installed, it also
came at a great price.
I would definitely recommend this product to others.
Thank You, Crimestopper.

this product is an excellent product, it is exactly as is shown online and does all it says it does.
two thumbs up for this product

I bought this as a present for my sister-in-law for her 2002 Ford Escape. I read a lot of the reviews about this and a lot of people claimed that this was a hard unit to install especially if you do not possess electronics knowledge, THEY ARE RIGHT!! I consider myself to have a good understanding of the electronics of vehicles, but the installation instructions for this product are horrible! I eventually had to take her Escape to a local stereo store who specializes in remote starts and they completed the installation.

The unit works good and the remotes are very nice. My sister-in-law has been using this system almost every morning this winter and loves the remote start!!

This alarm was purchased for my step daughters vehicle,installation is straight forward and alarm as lots of options that can be switch on and off.Very happy with the way this system performs and would purchase again.

Installed it in a few hours.Get a good wire diagram for the car you choose to put it on.I had a question called the tech line and they was a great help.Scares off the local crackheads in the neighborhood.HAHAHAHA!

just ordered it two days ago and i already got it! shipping quality could not be any better, its in perfect condition. i opened everything up and it seems to have everything and so far i think it will work just fine.

i will install in about a week and most definitely update this with the rest of the feedback.

guys, be care and dont mistake this for a 2-way! i don't know why i thought i got the 2-way one but it's just a 1-way :(

I had no idea what I got myself into. This is not a project for a novice and its very expensive having someone install this for you. This is a very good deal if you know what you are doing but if you don't have any experience its going to sit on a shelf like mine because I'm not going to pay somebody $300 to install a few basic functions.

Well...you get what you pay for, if you do not have the knowledge then your not gonna save much, the cheapest installer i found was 160, then i was extremely dissapointed by how gay the arm and keyless start noises sound, really annoying i almost wish that it was silent, im sure theirs a way do do this, but it really noises it makes really sounds retarded and cheap.
