    Viper/Hornet Remote start alarms

    Has anyone had any experience with these alarms? Remote start n all..they fetch similar prices to toad, but with more features, or so i'm lead to believe..

    Cheers

      Hornet - when you activiate/deactiviate - the beeps are a little loud - I keep expecting ravers to jump out and start 'avin it!'

        They are basically the same / rebranded Toad according to my local alarm place

          I thought remote starts were illegal in this country. I heard if u can start the car from outside of it ie fob... It's illegal?

            Technically yes it is illegal if your car is on a public road as you are not supposed to have the engine running and leave the car unattended , if it is in a car park or on your drive it's OK.
            I had remote start on my V8 and never got into bother for it , used to start it form ¼ mile away when walking back to the car , was also good for telling where you had parked the car in a large car park :mischeif:

            I freaked a few kids out with it once when I saw them looking in the car
