So I bought an Aftermarket alarm system about a year ago. Sadly to say, I am not pleased with it. It it an Ungo system, which I do not recommend to ANYONE. So lately, I've been considering whether to return to the stock alarm system or pursue a different alarm system. I wanted to know your guys' thoughts, and whether or not you think that it is worth buying.

So if you could please:
1) List your aftermarket alarm system
2) Hate it or Love it?
3) Favorite thing about it, least favorite thing about it (pros and cons)
4) Would you recommend it?

Thanks.

 

I have installed Viper, Ungo, Bulldog, Clifford, Alpine (R.I.P.), Avital, Black Widow and every Ebay alarm ever offered for sale and the best by far is Compustar. They are reliable, easy to program and use, bulletproof designs, the BEST warranty and the best features.

Favorite thing? Reliability
Least favorite thing? Price....but its still worth it!

Its pretty much the only alarm I stand by 100%. Failure rate is super low and when it does fail the return policy through my rep is unmatchable.

 

Did you purchase it online, or through an audio/alarm store?
Also, can you program to open windows like with the OEM alarm and open trunk?

When I got my Ungo, i was told that I could do neither of those things.

 

I get all of my Compustars through a local rep (wholesale). When you do it through an unauthorized dealer you can't rely on warranty.
You can do both windows down but you may need a window module for windows up. The PRO model supports window modules (plug and play) as well as an easy back up battery port on the brain.

 

Viper 5900.... I love it i just asked got it, it was recommended by fellow forum members

 

viper or python work good. very reliable
