Car alarm, aftermarket or OEM?

[tmontague]

I have a viper system currently and I would vote to go with the OEM system.

Viper is fine but I had an issue where my viper module would randomly unlock or lock the doors and this would trigger the ecu to wake for 30secs each time and eventually causes my battery to die.

OEM is cleaner and works completely with the car

That sounds like quite a nuisance. I guess I'll try finding one at a pickapart, if I can't find one guess I'll fork the $200. The link I posted was to your guide for the viper install. Thanks for the warning! I'll also double check what alarm I have on my old yaris, I've never had an issue with it in 11 years I've owned it. Hopefully they still sell them.
