Still pre-accessorizing before my truck arrives, and I'm looking to add a remote starter / alarm combination. The number of models to choose from is astounding, if not confusing. kodiakz, or anyone else out there with electrical knowhow: what works best on the H3s? Here are a few links I've looked at:
eHOW ~ How to Buy a Remote Start System
Commando FM870 Remote Starter
Viper Remote Starters

I had a Viper 791xv in my last vehicle as well. It was a great alarm/remote start system. |

What do you think of the new AvantGuard 5.5X? Seems like the Cadillac, er . . . (ahem) HUMMER of remote start alarms.

Kenny,
I have owned several commando alarms and they rock! I can tell you that they are made in the same overseas factory as Clifford. I'm friends with the owner Chris because I do all his office computer service. Just be sure to get a good installer and expect to pay about 200 for the install.

It will be the daddy of all alarms---when it is released. My rep told me on Thurs that they have again pushed back the release date to July or even August. I have been waiting for that bad boy to come out since they showed it a CES 2005. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thanks, kodiakz.

X2! works great! Same fot the Viper (same company with a different name on the package). KodiakZ put one on my H3 and than the H2. The remote is nice because you can see when the truck is started.

Re: Remote Starter / Alarm systems.
DEI Valet 561R Remote Start (VALET561R)
I'm having Circuit City install this in my 06 tomorrow. They quoted $290 total. You need an extra part to make sure the car alarm doesn't think its being jacked. Ill let you know how I make out.

Do you have an 05 or 06. I was told at Best Buy that they couldn't do an 06. I guess I'll have to check out C.C.

I meant build date. I was told the ones built in 06 used a different passlock system that couldn't be bypassed yet. But that was a month ago, they may have something now.
