Default Need advice on Alarm system install

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all

I am getting an alarm installed on the JK 2012...
I know it has a factory one ,but no shock sensor or 2 way remote.
Does anyone see any issues to install an aftermarket alarm?

Thanks

If you're not doing remote start the 3305V is OK.

I like the 3303V (2000ft range) better and the 5704V (1 mile range) if its an automatic and you want remote start.

It's pretty good and capable to upgrade. Most people with Jeeps add a prox sensor for interior security that makes the unit even better. The 2 way makes it nice to not actually have to see the vehicle to know if its locked, unlocked or if your alarm is going off.

Default Just put a Audiovox APS997C

Just put in a Audiovox Prestige APS997C Car Alarm/Remote Start in my 2010 Jeep....

I park in a bad part of St. Louis so wanted something that would page me if it went off, made some noise a maybe scared the person off... With a softtop, its a quick slash and grab...

I wired in the lights, horn and siren. Paging keyring works pretty good, went off the other day, tells me what door is open or hood or whatnot.....
Came with a sensor to set off if someone touchs it (and its pretty touchy)
Also has remote start but Im not using it, and a hood pin sensor

Wires were a little overwhelming at first. Watch a few videos and used some sites like Vehicle wiring diagrams to help me find the wires to tap in....

Took me a few hours but in the end... I have a alarm installed. The Blue leds for the alarm "armed" is pretty nice too....

I only picked this alarm because I did a google search and one under this was rated highly... This one gave the better remotes so I went with it. Not a bad unit for $110.00
