Ive been looking around to see where i can get the best deal on a viper 5900 alarm. The cheapest i found is $175 shipped. Has anyone found it cheaper.

Heres the site i found it on. has anyone bought from here before. http://audiovideodimension.com/viper...ng-p-1387.html

 

That's a good price. I paid $208 shipped for mine.

 

also how hard is it to install a kit like this? whats involved?

 

Lots of wires...

I was planning on wiring mine myself but figured since I didn't really know what I was doing, it might be safer (and possibly cheaper in the long run) if I had it installed professionally.

 

ok thats probably what i will do too. I dont want to mess anything up.

 

hey arnt bad alarm/starts, but they kinda suck to install. why they need 2 brains and a stupid ribbon cable in between them...i dont know lol. it just makes them harder to make a clean install. and you will notice if you have the 2way, that you might have to press a button like 5x before it resoponds. it will say your out of range and your sitting in the car lol. thats normal, they just do that.

 

Its not bad to install if you know where to find the wires. About half of those wires you will not use. If you want to do it yourself, PM me and I can help ya/

 

Its because DEI is retarded and they put all the relays inside a separate box instead of in the main brain.

 

I rather them put the relay in a separate box then in the main brain, considering the extra load that relay gets. My truck that I bought has an after market DEI and the idiot who installed it didn't do it correctly, so I have to redo everything.

 

DEI only did they on the viper 5900 and the 771 due to the fact that when installed thy can hide the satillite harness easier and away from the brain and make it look more blended with the oem harness in the vehical, because it is a security system, its meant to disable the ignition harness if broken into. And no DEI is not retarted. they are the leading manufacture in keyless,alarm,and r/s systems. they manufacture and house 90% of the systems out there. viper,clifford,avital,ready remote, python. just to name a few. and the 5900 isnt hard to install at at. just time consuming. usually takes me 3-4 hours to put on in a vehical. but then again. ill do 5 a week at work so im very familar with them.
