Viper has a very bad rep with being able to be started with a cellphone. Look up on it, and youll see.

Looking to upgrade alarms as well! I originally had my sights on the Matrix 2.5 but does anyone know how it compares to the compustar?

From what I read...all DEI based alarms....

Clifford, Viper, Stinger, Hornet, etc.... are very prone to easy frequency jacking. (Cellphones, etc) THis is very common. I had many people tell me their Vipers were bypassed using easily attainable devices. Compustar is immune to this.

I got Compustar from ebay, with the window module (auto up/down windows, and you can drop them with the remote as well, as well as a proximity sensor module) for 305 on ebay.

My friend just got one for his RSX and it really is a good alarm.

Remember though, if you are good, its about 8-10 hour install job in the s2000 (proper install).....so if you arent planning on installing yourself, shops charge 600-900 bucks to install it. Its not hard, just tedious.

All the research Ive done in the past month has led me to compustar. They are also the only ones to have remote start for manual cars at the moment.
