Changing Stock Alarm to 2 way alarm

Hey

I have the stock Subaru Alarm in my car, and i want to upgrade it to an alarm with 2 way notification. U know, one of those alarms with the LCD remote, that tells if ur car alarm is going off.

i have a few questions.

1. which alarm is best to get?
2. anyone have the stock wiriing diagram for the stock subaru alarm?


thanks for the help

If you would like upgrade to a better alarm with 2 way paging. There are a few alarms out there that offer this function. There are two "name brand" alarms that I recommend. One is the Clifford Matrix rsIII. and the other is the DEI viper 790x (models #'s might not be exact, im going off the top my head). Those are pretty much the same alarm, just two diffrent named. Clifford is owned by DEI so no worries.

haha the clifford one sucks. if you want "brand name" get the compustar and the dei viper mentioned above. the compustar is cheaper than the viper.

I have never heard of compustar. Might wanna do research on that one. The Clifford alarm is again, the exact same alarm, no diffrent whatsoever with the exception of the name on the box. It is a DEI 790.
