Title: Great Value!!
Review: I was a car audio installer for 19 years, 9 of those years owning my own company. I've been out of the game for awhile, but needed to put door lock actuators and an alarm in my daughters Jeep Wrangler. When I initially came across this alarm, I just skipped on past it, because at the low price it was listed, I figured it had to be junk. I came back around to it and decided to give it a shot. Worst case I was out very little $. I am sure glad I did. This thing has features on it that used to cost DEALERS double the money to get. A few highlights:- Priority unlocking (Drivers door on first press, other doors on second)- 2 car operation from one remote- Dual zone shock sensor built into alarm brain- Dome light supervision (Turn on the dome light for 30 seconds on disarming)- Coded valet override switch- 2 AUX outputs- On board parking light relay- upgrade to add other features with additional modulesThere's more, but these are probably the most useful. Don't be afraid of this alarm because of the price. It is well built, feature packed, has sleek thin easy to use remotes, and works incredibly well.

Title: Works great
Review: Factory alarm started going nuts and I finally had enough! Ripped the stock unit out, installed the new one in the same location and all the wires were already there. The only thing I needed to do was run wires to a separate unlock switch because the car switched were not compatible and probably are not compatible with any aftermarket unit. So far no complaints, works great. I installed the same unit in my truck a few years ago and haven't had any problems with it either.

Title: Good alarm for a great price
Review: For the price point, it's very hard not to go wrong with this purchase.When comparing options, it came down to this or the competing Avital (Directed Electronics) model 3100L / 3100LX.I have never been a very big fan of Viper due to the 6-tone siren, so I went with the Scytek.I like the fact that Scytek is a "USA company."I haven't been up-to-date on car security for years, so I was surprised that the industry is now dominated by Directed Electronics (Viper, Avital, Python, etc.) and Compustar.I was just looking to install a basic car security system for a commuter vehicle, so I didn't need anything fancy.I've been dealing with car security products since the 90's, so I wasn't going into this as a beginner.My last preference of brand for car security had been Alpine, but their last line of car alarms has been about 20 years ago.It seems like car security tech hasn't changed much, and if anything it has gotten downright cheap.Directed Electronics dual-zone shock sensor seems to be the standard for analog system. and these go for about US$15 - US$20.This Scytek A15 full system with two remotes is was under US$50.My last serious car alarm system was an Alpine SEC-150R which is priced around US$200 - US$300, uninstalled!The Alpine SEC-150R was fully loaded with a dual-zone shock sensor and dual-zone radar sensor, but you get the idea how cheap these systems have come down over the years.Most of your custom programming can be done with the remote, EXCEPT for the light flash option of positive (default) or negative trigger - this is changed via a physical jumper on the circuit board, which you can access by removing the plastic cover for the brain.Since this alarm system uses old, analog tech, your triggers, inputs, outputs are strictly ground or +12VDC.I ran into a lot of headaches installing this into my 2004 Toyota, as modern cars now use lower voltage pulsed signals due to use of multiplexers or (body control) modules - think CAN-BUS.Be prepared to use a lot of relays.The dual-zone shock sensor is built into the brain, so this might or might not be a problem for you.The brain case is slightly thicker than a deck of cards.Wiring harness are about 2' - 3' with pigtail ends, with the LED and valet switch harnesses slightly shorter.Be prepared to extend wires if needed; if you install the brain centrally under the dash, you should be able to splice all your wires with the included harnesses with very little problems.I have my brain zip-tied to the metal cross bar behind the dash, LED in the center console, and most connections to the body control module / door lock wiring in the passenger kickpanel behind and around the glove box without extending any of the wiring.For under US$50, this was a great price for a basic alarm to protect my ride.

Title: Works RELIABLY
Review: Bought this a couple years ago for my vintage mini truck. Sleep well at night knowing the door are locked and the alarm will sound if opened. Has been very simple to install and maintain. The remotes have been flawless

Title: Worked well until the antenna started cutting out
Review: I installed this on a 1999 Toyota Tacoma 4 years ago. It worked well and I did not have issues with it for a year or two. I started to notice that when it would be hot outside (typically above 90F) the vehicle would not unlock via the fob. This would result in having to unlock the door with the key, which would set off the alarm. I would then frantically try to disable the alarm by following the procedure outlined in the manual (which worked most of the time). I believe the problem is that the antenna is not receiving the signal from the fob. I have changed the batteries and used a different fob with the same result. The only thing I can determine is there is something wrong with the antenna circuit. Once I reset it by starting the vehicle and turning it off, it seems to work again.

Title: Good value
Review: Have always bought âViperâ in past for my other hot rods. Not anymore Two things I donât like about it:keyless entry doesnât have a big enough hole for a decent ring. The keyless entry does too many things it should only lock unlock and alarm.The thing I do like is you donât have to hook up any relays and itâs cheap!

Title: DOA returning
Review: Lock/unlock signal should be 500mA. Tests close to zero, so it's useless.

Title: Works great doesnt need a siren despite what some people said.
Review: For $15 it's a great deal. It doesn't come with a siren but you don't need it. Have it connected to the horn. I had it professionally installed for $100. Best $100 I've ever spent. For a basic system of car alarm and remote opener it's a winner.
