I need to upgrade my factory alarm and get auto start, any suggestions?

[seanklsc]

I'm thinking a Clifford RSX Matrix 3.5... goes for about $250 on the internet. Any reason to get a Solaris 5 or Avantguard 5? A professional will install it on my 96 Lincoln. How much does that usually cost?

These are the features I need:

Keyless entry (to work with the keypad on my door, too)
Alarm
Auto start
Very good distance (Clifford promises at least 1/4 mile with FM freq)
Trunk release
2 way remote
Roll up/down windows (Clifford has a $90 module)

1wykdmk8, was there a specific alarm system that you recommend? I would like to do the same to my '01 Lincoln LS V8

Yea, I'm thinkin' of ditchin' the POWER mod's and start some STYLE mods. I'm thinkin' of shaving the door handles and molding, much like Ray himself did ! He's my idol...

So to go along with the shaved door handles, I was looking to get a nice remote door set up, along with alarm upgrade/ auto start.

So Ray, along with the auto start/remote setup what suggestions do you have while having the doorhandles shaved ?

Viper.....I have NEVER used anything else my entire life. I have been a Viper authorized installer for years (not now....I do not work at a stereo shop any longer.....but have been in the past). I have the Viper 560XV alarm in my car, and would recommend it to anyone. It is actually simple to install. The ONLY problem is if you plan on having it installed, and not installing it yourself, I can not get you the deal that I can get. IF you think you can install it yourself then I can get you an awesome deal on them.
