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 say go with a company that has been around for awhile...like dei!
I had a viper 791xv in my last car, I have a clifford matrix rsx 3.5 in my h3. Worked on many many cars with the same alarms. So...that's my vote.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Re: Remote Starter / Alarm systems.
There is an addtional bypass kit needed in addition the actual remote starter system. There was not even any question whether the system could be installed on my 06. I've had it for a week. NO PROBLEMS. I am very pleased with the system. Install took about 4 hours. I suggest you pay for it prior to the install date and leave your ATM, Credit cards home. 4 hours alone in Circuit City with Credit cards is extremely dangerous. 
hopefully the links work:
Starter: Valet 561R Remote Start/Keyless Entry
http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/produ...c=1&oid=119099
Bypass: DEI GM Immobilizer Bypass
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/DEI-G...oductDetail.do
Good Luck
