Just had the Viper with proximity sensor installed today. I does everything the big fancy ones do without the two way pager.

The proximaty sensor will not let you get within 18 inches of the closed top. One other feature I like is that it locks the doors when the key is turned on and unlocks them when you turn the engine off.

$479 out the door installed. Install is VERY clean.

Like I said....I will sleep much better tonight

 

good stuff captain

 

where did you have it installed?

I been looking for a place that installs Cliffords I'm not too much for viper alarms.

 

Mad Mark's In Bradenton. They treated me very well. The alarm is on sale right now. It would have been $100 more off sale.

 

clifford and viper = same parent company no?

 

ohh... kinda far. Thanks though. I live in Brandon so I was trying to find somewhere local or if not then atleast in the Tampa area.

 

It's not that far. I drive from st pete to Bradenton every day

 

Yes....feature and web sites appear virtually identical

 

Yes, Directed Electronics is the parent company of:
Polk Audio, Viper, Definitive Technology, Python, Clifford, Orion, Precision Power, Autostart and Astroflex. They also have an association with Sirius.

After they overtook Precision Power and Orion, I think it was in the late 90's, they drastically reduced the quality of these components. (specs suffered).

I believe the Clifford, (which I own) and the Viper are quite identical.

Anyways, congrats on the purchase. Extremely good price!!! (I paid $600 plus tax 2 1/2 yrs. ago). Proximity detection, although maybe not foolproof, it HAS to be a deterrant!!!

I got my Viper alarm installed at Best Buy on 66th St in St Pete. I think they did a great job and I got a great price.
