Got a new alarm for $30 at work!

[JDMcb7]

Well some dipshit at work ordered the wrong alarms, so we have a bunch that we can't sell. (Just an FYI, I work at Circuit City) Anywho, I picked one up for $30 and retail is $100. I don't know too much about it. It's a Prestige from Audiovox, model APS - 875c. It has remote start, keyless entry, alarm obviously, and a bunch of other shit. I am getting one of our installers to help me put it in Tues. and I will give you guys a review of it.

Do you have a 5 speed?

Yep. I still plan on using the remote start feature too.

That sounds cool. It sounds like you got it for cost. Prestige makes decent systems. Be careful with leaving your car on gear and trying to use the remote start. There are installers that like to install a fail-safe circuit so that the remote does not work when in gear, but that takes a little bit of custom work. I know that the best remote start alarm for a 5 speed is CompuSTAR but they are pricey.

Anyway you should be all good with the alarm, and make sure that all the features work after it is installed! anf oh yeah RTFM! lol

Another way around the 5speed remote start is to find a remote start/alarm with a turbo timer. That way your car runs for say a minute after you take the key out.


So no matter what, the car is always in neutral when you shut the car off.

I can try, but it looks mighty suspicious when I start buying multiple alarms and shit. Let me see what I can do for you.

Might work...

might be intersted also . so what are they going to do with them if they cant sell them?? might turn out good for you and all of us. if u offer to take a few more off there hands they might be better off since they cant sell them and you can sell them to us for maybe a 10 buck profit ?? that way CC gets rid of things they cant sell cuz of some guy fucking up you get 10 bucks for your time and trouble and we get an alarm for half off, it would be win win

Sorry guys I wasn't able to get anymore alarms, all the other employees bought them. I just got it installed last night and it is awesome. I hooked up the remote start (I have a manual) and it's pretty fun, but I'm pretty paranoid about leaving the car in gear.

With the ebrake on and clutch out, would it just jump a few inches forward and stall? I mean I could be wrong, but wouldn't it just rev itsself down and die? Just don't park right up close against anything and make sure your e=brake is strong and you're all set.

just purchase it from another store they wont know...hehe we do it here at CC all the time.

as for the alarm and remote start and 5 speed..u have to bypass that clutch but some of the better alarms comes with a disable that IF U HOOK IT UP RIGHt it will know when its in gear and wont start or is disabled when the ebrake is down or something.

but i do know what alarm your talking about and have seen it.

next summer im going to be putting remote start into my car with window module and everything, and then put this alarm i have in my 300zx.

oh and some cars if u auto start in gear, they just keep on going...thats what happend to a friend of mine.
