okay, one of my friends just got a new corolla, and he put in this cool alarm system in, where there is a little LED pad the goes on your keychain and has a picture of a car on it, and when the alarm is armed, and someone hits or bumps your car, the LED picture of the car will blink on which ever part of the car was kicked or hit (i.e. the fender, window, bumper etc) he got it at circut city, for like $150 and $50 to install, so i was really thinking about getting this, but i wanna make sure this is a good buy, or is there better for the same ammount of money (or less) cause i really like the idea of the keychain thing that shows you what's going on with your car.

thanks guys

What was the name and model number of the alarm he got?

search viper 791xv, that's a really nice one, has remote start too, 200 shipped.

the one he got was called a python i think, but i went to go check it out at circuit city, but the darn thing was re-called, so i can't get that one.

i'll look into those ones you guys suggested tho, thanks guys

Python, Hornet, and Viper are all the same. Just different name and model numbers. Their all made by DEI.

IE: Viper 791XV, Python 881XP, and Hornet 564T are all the same.

Hey 88LE the hornet is like 35 bucks cheaper than the 791Xv, would you pay the difference for the viper, or is it really the same exact thing, and just get whatever one's cheaper???

^ The brain (alarm itself) is the same.

Only difference I see is the remote.

The remote for the Python 881XP looks the same as the one for a Viper 791XV. Just says Python on it, instead of Viper.

From what I can tell, the Python 881XP would be a closer match to the Viper 791XV then a Hornet 564T.

well, DEI alarms and remote starters can't be installed by anyone without a MECP installer...o if you get one over the internet it is either a scam or someone who doesn't want to be known....I worked for a shop that used their products. Go witht he viper, I have it on my camry and I love it
