-- Posted by Cingular Wireless at 10:12 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 I am going next weekend to get the Viper Remote Starter w/ Security System 2 way 5900 model http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8552318&st=Viper&type=product&id=1188561245745 I am going to have BestBuy install it because they are the lower cost. Few things, they said I need a spare keep in advanced to keep in the car because of the Ford Securilock system. And also they said it includes "basic" installation free. Is it ever free or do they find things to charge for? Anybody use this system or had experiences with it, like how sensitive is it to touch. And it has an optional "radar" proximity sensor they told me I need as well. And will this thing use the alarm siren to chirp or the horn? -- Posted by soldierofjustice3 at 11:18 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Nothing installed at best buy is *free*. In fact, car audio/alarms are one of the highest margin items in the store. If your going to go through with it, you should plan on some additional costs, although you never know, basic install might just work out for you. -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 11:54 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Why would you let best buy install anything? IF you want the "lower" price your going to sacrafice with "lower craftsmanship" of the install and be fucked later on. -- Posted by tempoluvver69 at 4:05 am on Aug. 29, 2008 trust me, best buy will fuck your shit up. A alarm with lots of features takes a good bit of knowledge to install, a lot more than a 10 dollar an hour bestbuy installer makes. Take it to a reputable car electronics shop. I've heard horror stories frommy dad (mechanic) about installs done from best buy and circuit city. You probably won't listen to me, but you cant say i didnt warn you. And that alarm is way overpriced. For 500 dollars you should get multiple horns, a glass shatter sensor, and a backup power supply. -- Posted by MrRight at 10:30 am on Aug. 29, 2008 Theres nothing wrong with Bestbuy, they are all certified technicians, infact I got my sound system installed at Futureshop which Best Buy owns and they did a good job. Plus their work is guaranteed so if the fuck up anything or you think its not up to par you just take it back and they will do it again. -- Posted by tempoluvver69 at 4:09 pm on Aug. 29, 2008 Quote: from MrRight at 10:30 am on Aug. 29, 2008 Theres nothing wrong with Bestbuy, they are all certified technicians, infact I got my sound system installed at Futureshop which Best Buy owns and they did a good job.

You're a numbskull for even thinking people will *always* back their shit up. they could tell you to get lost and you have no recourse. -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 1:54 pm on Aug. 30, 2008 Quote: from MrRight at 12:30 pm on Aug. 29, 2008 Theres nothing wrong with Bestbuy, they are all certified technicians, infact I got my sound system installed at Futureshop which Best Buy owns and they did a good job.

They may be certified in Best Buy's install tech. but not true installing.
