I just bought my tC a couple weeks ago but didnt wanna spend 500 from the dealer for the scion security. my friend can get me the viper alarm w/ shock sensor, lcd screen that shows if and where some1 breaks in ur car for only 250. my question is: Will this alarm or any other for that matter, work and still operate the keyless entry, or will i have to use both remotes??? who else has car alarms other than scions?? and what kind??

 

Both remotes still work, however if you arm your car with the viper alarm, you need to unarm with the viper remote, unless use the hidden button.

 

i like the viper alarms...

 

wouldnt it be nice if the scion key buttons could be reprogramed to accomidate other alarm system brands you wouldnt have to carry around an oversized key and a alarm fob. doubtful it would be possible/ ever happen

 

Viper 791vx best alarm on the market and it will come with keyless entry and a butt load of extra goodies..

 

I have the 791xv, and I love it.

 

I have Compustar...

 

I have the 791xv too =p
I had a good deal on it

 

do u guys use only the viper alarm or do u have to use the viper AND the scion key?

 

Compustar here as well. Great system with a killer distance alert

 

You will only need to use viper. you don't need the scion key.
i have Python, it mother company also makes Viper. I don't even carry the big scion keyless entery, i just carry the smaller scion valet key. i nver lock the glove compartment anyway.

 

yeah carrying jus the valet key will probably help from keeping me confused at first.

 

how hard is it to install a car alarm?? i've never done it before, but i have yet to pay to get anything installed and wouldn't like to start. How difficult is it/how long does it take? I've done an intake, interior lights, underbodys, etc. so i somewhat know the ins and outs of the electrical. that viper 791xv is pretty nice for under $200.

 

Where can I purchase this Viper 791xv alarm at?

 

i know best buy sells it.

 

viper!!!!!!!!

 

i got my viper 791xv for $150 at this online store, i completly forgot where, but all u have to do is type on google, *viper 791xv price* and search for the lowest, thats wat i did

 

difficulty of installation of the viper 791xv?

 

i got a mobile guy that does tints and alarms to do it for me for $40, i dont know how to wire these stuff but it took the guy about 45 min so im guessing it takes a long time but its such an awesome alarm!

 

____, 45 minutes is nothing! anyone else know how to do it, or have done it themselves? It took like 5 hours to do my underbody kit - gotta make it perfect
