Hello everyone,
i just got the 791xv installed on my 97 integra and just wanted to do a review from the people that were considering buying it....
Pro:
-awesome alarm system... not super sensitive (exhaust will not set it off)... and i got it for 200shipped (

-"turbo timer mode" allows car to cool down for set period of time
-passive lock and passive security systems are incredible
-passive lock = 30 seconds after the car is started w/ keys in ignition... the doors will automatically lock (similar to newer cars)
-passive arm = 30 seconds after all the doors are closed and car is shut off... car will automatically arm just in case you forget to set or you are busy
-programming and valet switch very easy to understand and makes programming additional things (passive/active arming/locking) very simple to do even if the installer did not program the style that you would prefer.
-a quick glance through the book will give you the options to program and alter several things about the alarm
-has a default alternator cutoff (30 seconds after car is armed... starter will not work, until disarmed/key in ignition
thats about all i can think of as far as PRO's ... there is plenty more... i just haven't figured it out yet...
CONS:
-annoying beep from remote (can be changed but i haven't figured out how to yet)
-very difficult to install... so even with extensive electrical knowledge... generally easier and less of a headache to let installer do for you
-because of the several features... one button or combination on the remote can enable/disable things that you did not plan to enable/disable... makes difficult to carry around in tight pocket/purse
so far it has done everything i want and more
any questions/comments/concerns post here or PM me ...
