I am visiting my parents in West Palm Beach Florida and my father wants to get a remote starter for his LS460. The dealer blew him off saying it was too complicated blah blah blah.

Anyone know what unit works best and possibly a place to get it installed around here?

Its a cool new design from D.E.I. The system has a lot of new features that will help out alot of shops. No complaints thus far. So if your looking to upgrade to a new alarm/remote start i would suggest this one.

i own my own car audio business in phx, az and i LOVE the new viper 5901 and all other new models! hopefully new bitwritters are coming for programming soon! The only downfall on the alarm is new light flash and default programming! Great Alarm and Great Way To Protect Your Investment (Vehicle)

As the head 12 volt installer at my shop, i highly recommend this product. DEI has once again set the bar extremely high. The new technology is the latest and greatest and continues to be user and installer friendly

system is very pretty. lots of features so many i have to carry my manual to check once in a while. car's range is very good. installation is not complicated just make sure to get the right key bypass for your car(new models). this is where i spent most of the time. easy way is with the extra car's key. i tried a new module that reads the code but failed on accord 07 favorites features: inside temp car find sounds range pretty remotes only complain will call viper to find out why the defrost feature doesn't work like said. people seems to have problem making it work.

I HAVE ALWAYS USED VIPER ALARMS. I'M NOT AN INSTALLER BUT I HAVE THEM INSTALLED BY A CERTIFITIED VIPER INSTALLATION CENTER. THIS IS MY THIRD VIPER ALARM STARTER AND I ALSO HAD A VIPER AUTO START ONLY INSTALLED YEARS AGO. THIS 5901 IS PACKED WITH FEATURES. YOU CAN CHECK TEMPERTURE IN CAR WHEN IT'S RUNNING OR NOT,CHECK IF ANYTHING HAS HAPPENED WHILE YOU WHERE AWAY. YOU CAN TURN OFF SENORS,TURN OFF THE SIRENS,LIGHTS&SENSORS BUT STILL GET A SIGNAL TO THE PAGER WITH A BEEP OR VIBRATE OR BOTH,CHANGE THE BACKLITE COLOR ON THE LCD REMOTE,ADJUST THE SHOCK SENSORS 0-15 IN SENSITIVITY WHICH I LEARNED TO DO MYSELF,REMOTE LET'S YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE 3 MINUTES AND 1 MINUTE FOR AUTOSTART TO SHUT DOWN AND YOU CAN RESET IT TO STAY ON LONGER SO IT DON'T SHUT OFF. IT CAN BE SET FOR 12-60 MINUTES BY THE INSTALLER. THE ONLY THING IS THERE ISN'T A REPLACEMENT REMOTE ON THIS SITE FOR THE 5901,SO I TRY TO BE SUPER CAREFUL WITH THE REMOTES. THE LED LITE IS BRIGHT BLUE AND LIGHTS UP MY WHOLE FRONT SEAT OF THE CAR WHEN IT'S BLINKING. DEFINITLY WORTH IT.

I needed a remote starter for my new '08 Ford Edge. I decided to go all the way and get the top of the line 5901 Viper. Had to wait a month to get it installed - but well worth it. The system was installed yesterday and I am loving it. In this cold climate it works great. Love the Valet take over mode that allows you to leave the car running, take out the key and lock it - great for running errands. Also I like the new USB power plug-in for the remote. My Edge happens to have a USB that can be used to charge my Viper remote. Excellent.

I received this as a gift, and I can say that I am very happy with this unit. The only minor annoyance is "unlocking" the remote, which is a settable feature that I plan to turn off soon. I was afraid that the distance (several thousand feet) may be too long, even for this unit, but I have experienced no problems, even without line-of-sight. The system is pricey $$.

really nice System first off, The remote control with the LCD display is priceless. and all of the available features makes everything a real convince. My only complaint is that when the Clock is set on my remote it Always will revert to AM when it PM and visa versa. The One mile range is nice but if your in a building 500yrds away it wont work, its kind of temperamental. But over all i wouldnt have picked any other system

The range on it is 1 mile, that is more then perfect with the remote start,not only that the internal battery life it self is very durable

as an installer and a shop owner, i am glad i always stuck with viper and clifford. all though many shops that i know ventured off to other brands, now they are getting back fast back to the pioneers of security and convenience systems, as always pushing the envelope, and setting an example to the entire industry and manufacturers of units who wish to be as good as viper and clifford. GO DIRECTED GO!!! your products are second to none, that being said they are number ONE in our shop, GO VIPER, GO CLIFFORD!!! cant wait for your future toys and releases. keep up the good work

This is one of the best alarms offered from DEI. Had 3 before with 3 different cars. With one being a responder. To give you and ideal of the range. Everyone knows how big walmart is. Would be in back of the store and will still be able to start my car. So I wouldn't dought line of sight 1 mile range. But there are times where passive arming wont let my romte know that it's armed. Plus didn't like that the led is on the valet switch. I also have 2 clubs for the steering wheel and a tracking system. Layer upon layer now a days is the way to go. If you can aford this unit get it. Just hope that dei makes a case or something for the remote so it dont get banged up. (hint hint dei lol.)

Remote start is amazing. But the alarm system is kind of weak. you have to beat the car to the point were youll bust a hole in it for the alarm to go off.

This alarm is top of the line. I have recommend to 2 people so far and they are satisfied with it. Lots of features and 2 easy to use remotes. The only con is the LCD remote is a little fragile because I dropped on the first week I got it and now the chirp (TONE) is barely audible.

Great Remote Starter and Alarm. The range is very very good, I park my car 2 blocks away from my apartment and it really works. There are only 2 things that I dont like, when it is winter season and you park your car outside, there is a tendency that the 2-way remote starter gives you a error beep to remote start but when you check your car, it is actually running! Second, the 1-way remote should have a lock button to protect it from the kids.

The Viper 5901 remote start and security alarm is a great product, it was fairly easy to install and has a ton of configurable settings and features. There are some things that could use improvement though. I wish the car would send a signal to the remote if the engine started successfully, not just if it got the command to start or if it failed to start. Having the shock sensor in the main unit is nice and simple to install, but I wired the main unit in and found out there’s a relay in my car that turns off about a minute after my car shuts off that has false triggered the alarm a couple times. It would be nice to relocate the sensor to somewhere else, but I don’t want to move the whole unit. Along with that it would be kind of nice to have the temperature sensor separated so that it can be placed in a better location rather than tucked far up under the dash. I do get some skewed readings in the winter saying it’s 70 degrees in my car, but I get in and it’s been running for a while but not warmed up to 70 yet. I think this is caused from the heat produced from the electronics in the main unit itself. I think some more feedback from the car would be nice. Have a couple of inputs in the car that could either signal the remote or have the remote request their status. You could connect it to the low fuel light so you don’t idle your car empty or see if anything else is turned on or off or whatever, there are many possibilities with that. When the battery on the remote dies, it lets you and everyone around know it. I look at the display most of the time when I lock/unlock or would notice an extra beep, why does it need to make beep for 20-30 seconds every time a press a button when the battery dies, it’s just wasting more battery? Also my battery usually doesn’t last a month, but it really doesn’t take long to charge so I could care less, I only wish it would last longer so it wouldn’t beep so much when it gets low. Also I dropped my keys the other day on concrete and now the remote sounds high pitched and quieter, I must have damaged the pezio inside, but I kind of like it now since it’s not as loud. Since I’m on sound, I wish I could deactivate the remote start daaa da da da da da da da deee (increases in pitch), it attracts a lot of unnecessary attention, I usually have to cover it so it’s not as loud. All these things are really minor and do not truncate the fact that this remote start/alarm is awesome and no other manufacture comes close. These are just some improvements that I think could be made for the 5902. Some key features I love: -Range is awesome (I can get it in a anywhere in most buildings if my car is parked outside and I’ve defiantly gotten over a mile when my car was on top of a hill and I could almost see it, just don’t expect a mile if there are trees and buildings in the way, that’s just how radio frequencies work; you would need a lot more power output, bigger battery and bigger antenna to get a mile in all conditions, the range from such a small remote is absolutely amazing if you know anything about wireless communications.) -2-way (if my hands are full carrying stuff, I can just go inside and set everything down before I lock my car and I know it’s locked even if I can’t see it. Also I know that my alarm isn’t being annoying and going off outside in the parking lot or if is and needs immediate attention) -Temperature (as ridiculous as it sounds, it’s really nice to know how hot or cold your car it) -Flexibility (there are so many settings, you can customize it to do so many things)

I've had this alarm for at least 6 months, and it is amazing! The features are great, and it is simple to use. The only complaint I have is that the internal shock sensor is not sensitive enough. I would suggest that if you are thinking of purchasing this alarm, have the installer put in an external shock sensor (very easy to do). I am told it is a plug and play deal. Another great product from Viper!

I have had prestige alarms and a few more other less known devices on my 2001 Q45 I have to say this Viper Alarm is the best. I have dropped the remote a few times even chipped the silver part and still did not cause any issues. I love the fact theres no Battery to replace and can charge with even a USB cable so while I am on the road I dont need to even carry the charger i use my Laptop. Aslong as you have a installer that knows what hes doing you are gonna love this System.
