i have been reading about the gps feature on the vipers, this seems the way to go, especially with the ignition kill. toyota has a great factory alarm, but it is close to $700, and does have glass break sensors, but the gps feature is the shiz on the vipers. thanks for the advise Atuck and all who replied.Take a look at what Viper has to offer in both areas. There are some things that you can get to go along with thier alarm system that will absolutley blow away any Lojack system.
I use Viper alarms on my vehicles and as soon as my kids start to drive I will be adding the extra features that will allow me to track every step of the car on my computer. You can even kill the ignition from your computer.
The system costs about the same as lojack too.
With Lojack the police tell you where the car is. With the Viper system you can tell the cops where the car is before you even call them.
Well what you’re going to want is a Clifford product. They make both the viper and the matrix, plus they have a new G5. I have no experience with the G5 but I do know the matrix is top of the line. Get a prox sensor or two and you’ll be fine. The object of today’s after market alarms inset to warn the owner as much as it is to deter people. I have 4 sirens in mine 2 directly under my dash next to the alarm box. Why? Because it’s so loud your ears would probably bleed before you can finish cutting all the wires. And typically if you call your insurance they’ll lower your rates a little if you have one. The matrix has your gps, you can call in and see were it is. If you loan it to someone you can even see what speeds they were going. It also pages you or calls your cell if it goes off. You can typically find the units cheap. Its just having them installed that’s pricey.

Clifford makes Viper now? I think Directed makes both Clifford AND Viper.
