Good 2 way pager alarm + power door locks?

Hey guys, i was just planning for the future and was looking at car alarms. Im wondering what peoples recommendations are on this front. Id really like a 2 way pager system, and things like starter kill etc are always a plus. I also need a power door lock kit to go with it. Keep in mind i need to get everything at once to do the install. Any help would be appreciated.

DEI, [Viper/Clifford/Avital and so on] and Compustar both make very good alarm systems, both 1way and 2way.

If your on a tighter budget, Audiovox, [Prestige] and Ultra Start make dependable systems.

All the above will have starter cut .

As for power door locks there are a number of ways to go, the simplest is to just get a the door lock actuators and two SPDT relays, [some alarm models will have the door lock relays built in] and the power door locks will work off the alarm, if you want more control of the power door locks, you can add a set of switches, [stock ones are easy to install] or get a central locking system, something like the Audiovox PRO PDL2, this will turn the stock manual door lock “switch” into a power door lock switch, it will also give you central locking, meaning if you use the key or manual switch on one door it also locks/unlocks the other door, [all 4 in 4doors]. 94

fcm to the rescue, once again. Yea I’d like the doorlocks to work off the alarm remotes, just for ease of use. I’d also like to install switches similar to the ones I used for relocating the window switches way back, which you also helped me with. I’m hoping to get everything in as simple a package as possble, that switch relocation was a nightmare.

I was on Crutchfield looking at the CrimeGuard 750i5, it says it has 4 programmable relays that can be used for doorlocks or windows. I’m not interested in remote windows right now, so all I’ll need are the solenoids for the door locks, yes? It also has an LCD remote which is what I’m looking for.

That is correct, two 2wire “actuators”. 94

Ok now that ive done a bit more research ive decided on either the Clifford Matrix 12.5x or the Viper 791XV. Is there a “good” brand of actuator?

I found this Autoloc Power lock kit, would this work for central locking?

I notice the door lock kit comes with remotes, can it be set up so the door locks use the Alarm’s pager remote so i dont have to carry a remote for the alarm and one for the door lock module?

Not sure if that kit has an input for the alarm, the Audiovox Pro PDL-2 does have the inputs and does not come with an R/F section, [remote controls and receiver unit] that you do not need and will be less money.

Both the Viper and Clifford units are good.

Questions…

Do you want remote start?
Does your car have an automatic or standard transmission?
I ask because the Viper is a combo unit. 94

Manual transmission, and I’m not really worried too much about remote start right now. Maybe I’ll look for a simpler system.

I actually tried googling the Audiovox unit but I didn’t come up with too much, a few places to buy it but not much info.

If remote start is something you may want then you will need to get one that is compatible with a standard transmission. 94
