Default viper 5901

Hey just wondering if this alarm is good?Im deciding if i should get it on my manual 04 roadster with bypass for 480 installed. Is that too much?

i've had the 5901 for about 6 months now with no problems. its got great range and features. I paid $480 for the 5901, key bypass module, remote window up/down module, and installation of everything just for a reference to use.

I have had the 5901 for a few months now with no problems either. Range is definitely not a mile, but it's much better than the factory keyfob. Plus, with the P/NP switch on the 350, you can safely add remote start to your 6MT if you're parked in neutral. I also have mine programmed to roll the windows up automatically when I lock my doors - no extra modules needed, which is nice. Worked at Best Buy when I got it so I can't complain about my deal. With that said, $480 - $550 including installation is about standard.

5902 is just the 5901 with a full color OLED remote (the remote is compatible with the 5901 and can be had for about $140 on eBay and other online electronics stores).

The P/NP switch (Park/Neutral Position switch) is a switch on basically all automatic vehicles and some manual transmission vehicles (such as the 350), which tells the ECU whether the transmission is in gear or not. When you tap this wire and connect it to the Neutral Safety Shutdown on the Viper alarm system, the Viper won't start the car unless it is in neutral. This makes remote starting your 6MT safer.
