Default Clifford Matrix 2.2X

Hi. I am a bit interested in this alarm. Does anyone have this alarm? Feedback?

I was looking for a 2-way alarm, and this deal fell into my lap. I know that it is an older model. What other alarms would you guys suggest in the $200 range?

I have seen some 791xv's around $200. With the Clifford, it should be a good alarm since its a DEI product.

Can you link me? I can get the Clifford for $140. I called around asking for some installation prices, and I got a quote for $400 :ugh:

Well on ebay, at this moment there is someone selling the 791 for 185 with free shipping. That install price is kinda high...what kind of car is this going into?? Auto or manual shift? A typical install price should be around 150 for a remote start system. This alarm can also be installed without the remote start functioning.

99 Integra Sedan. I thought the $400 price for installation was a bit high. I am going to shop around a little more. Thanks.

$400 seems right for installation, 2 ways require alot of stuff, commmonly a plunger for the hood is installed, one or two shock sensors. you need to affix the antenna to the windshield and also put in what you would for a lesser system.

even for good people its probably a good 4-6 hours work

I know circuit city installs RS systems for around $150 + any labor associated with the immobilizer bypass. I would not expect to pay any more...the wiring is straight forward and two-ways are not any more complicated to install. A good installer would only have to add 45mins to 1 hour extra from a typical alarm system and maybe another 30 mins for the immobilizer.

most basic alarms are shoved up the steering column. a good installed would figure out where the best place to put the brain woul dbe and wouldnt do a CC halfass job.

the twoway is only as good as the installation.

i'm goign to install the minipiezo in my car with a battery backup and set it up with tweed switches so when it comes on it stays on until you shut it off witht he dedicated switch.
