lakas187 Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 maybe i sould get it installed by an authorized Viper dealer. that way i will not void the warranty. Install it your self it's easier than you think,just don't make it look like spaghetti under your dash.You should not have to pay to get a wiring chart for your truck either. I would never pay 300.00$ just for installation of an alarm PS. I'am a back yard installer of car alarms,and stereos. I dont understand your point. What happens if your alarm goes south or if the responder doesnt start the truck? Its your alarm. Now you need to call DEI (Viper) and they are going to tell you to take it back to the dealer who installed it and they will work with them to get it/parts replaced and labor to fix it. But doing it under your backyard tree voids this warranty. Now your SOL. This is the reason I paid to have an authorized Viper dealer install mine. People are different. Me I actually like the fact that if anything goes wrong on it I dont have to rip it out or troubleshoot the electrical system for a couple of hours. I just take it back to the installer and they fix it all up nice and neat again. Installing the Viper 970xv takes professionals 3-4 hours. That is just the basic alarm. This isnt including the wiring for the heated seats/windows and tilt sensors. Your most likely looking at 6 hrs of work. If my unit's go bad for what ever reason,I have my contacts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEAR M UP Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hey guys I just got the Viper 791 xv installed. -Two Remotes -Remote car start -Mercury switch on the hood and Lid Installed $500 out the door. Good deal or did I get screwed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssblackss Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I got the Clifford Matrix RSX 3.5, almost identical to the Viper 791xv, and I love it. One thing to keep in mind is that the parts have a limmited lifetime warrenty and if a Viper qualified installer does'nt put the kit in you void the warrenty. Mine installed and out the door was $507. Here is a pic of my remote I have just had the clifford Matrix3.5 as well. I had total closure and remote start too. Windows go up doors lock and I had him put High intensity blue LED's in the door handles looks awsome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schklege Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I would never pay 300.00$ just for installation of an alarm I'll happily pay a professional installer for his time. I can make a lot more doing my job than I will pay him. Money lost if I spend my time on installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSam Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 How does the Viper 791 xv compare to the Autopage RS850-LCD? I can get either installed for about the same price and can't decide. Here is a link to the Autopage: http://www.autopageusa.com/Products/2Way/rs850.htm I don't know much about Autopage. Anyone have experience with their products? Thanks, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
