Looking at getting an alarm/remote start. Anyone have good/bad experiences? I like the looks of the CompuStar 2-way stuff, but I only know 1 person who has a CompuStar and it’s like 5 years old. I know First Bass is the way to go for a shop, just wondering if you guys have suggestions on a good alarm/remote start combo for a 5-speed. Thanks. ---

I like Viper 2-way paging systems, and know quite a few people running them. I have not heard of a single issue yet. ---

in my opinion, and experiences, anything DEI (Directed Electronics) is the best way to go (Clifford, Viper, Avital, Valet, Hornet, Python. ---

They dont make to many for a 5 speed…Compustar is one of your only options and prob your best. I have only installed one and it was not to bad to put in. I put a keyless R/S in my girl friends integra i got it off ebay or something i forget what kind it is but is made for a 5 speed…The car stays running untill she gets out and shuts the door the car will shut off…and will only remote start if she “sets” it this way…It is the safest R/S for a 5 speed ---

I do but the good folk at DEI went on a tiraid a few years ago and stopped making the 5spd compatible versions. I do still have in the box 2 original Clifford 5spd units at my disposal, i do believe, BUT they are not 2 way ---
