QuestionI just purchased a 2005 Mazda MPV LX with an anti-theft device (immobilizer). If I go with an alarm system other than from the dealer will it be compatible with the Mazda key fob.
In addition do you have any suggestions for systems (middle of the road) and could you include prices for product and installation.
Thanks for your assistance.
AnswerOk, let's start with the installation.
If you are witin 25 miles of my shop
(Land O lakes, Fl.) the fee is 150.00.
Next, you will want to put the Mazda
key fob away once you install any aftermarket
car alarm. The range and functionality
will be 10 times superior to the mazda piece,
emulating all of the features currently used,
plus what the new system offers.
I have a couple of solid suggestions
that would do very well for interfacing
properly to this specific vehicle.
My WIREWERX.com site will
provide The notes on this vehicle for FREE
and will send them along with a suggested
list of relays, and accessories to do the
job correclty the first time, if you decide
to purchase the system here.
Now let's see...
I'll offer my second choice first.
A very good system here would be,
The RAZOR 4370 or 5370 2 WAY PAGAING
CAR ALARM REMOTE STARTER COMB0 made by ULTRASTART.
(169.95 +s&h or 189.95 +s&h respectively)
HIGHEST QUALITY: As with all Ultra Start products,
no compromises were made when it comes to quality.
The RAZOR 2-WAY series offers industrial rated
components and has been engineered to withstand
the most extreme conditions our climate can present.
All Ultra Start product is guaranteed as long
as you own your vehicle.
LONG RANGE: The RAZOR Series uses
the latest in ultra high frequency AM SAW Technology.
This advanced RF technology allows you to communicate
with your vehicle at distances
of up to 2000 FT.
USER-FRIENDLY: Unlike many two-way remote starters
on the market, the RAZOR line is very user-friendly.
The LCD display is easy to read, the buttons are marked
with clear symbols and the remote provides communication
with your vehicle and audible confirmation of
button activations.
2-WAY LCD REMOTE: The nicest feature of UltraStart's
RAZOR 2-WAY SERIES of Remote Starters is the LCD remote.
Never again will you need to guess if your vehicle
actually started or if you remembered to lock your doors!
This Remote's Dynamic Indigo Backlit display illustrates
the status of your vehicle via a visual LCD display
and audible tones. You will be able to see if the engine
is running, if the alarm is triggered, if the doors are
locked, and if the cold weather timer mode is activated.
This cutting edge remote even comes complete with a clock!
This model offers an advanced vehicle security system.
Including features such as a deafening Super Loud 6 Tone
Siren to warn even the boldest of thieves. There is
a Buit in Dual Stage Impact Sensor to detect tampering,
a Starter Disable Protection System to prevent vehicle theft, plus much, much more! Also in this case, this
vehicle needs a transmod bypass module to do remote
start. You will loose one of your ignition keys to this module.
or "If it were me..."
....my choice of "BEST" system here is
the Galaxy 5100 2 TRUE COLOR RSW 2WAY combo.

Best bang for the buck for your
specific installation project.
Most flexable installation design
and at the best price of the year!
(It's little brother the 5000 RSW is also
a great choice! See both at www.PAGINGALARMS.com )
However,
If an alarm/keyless are what's needed and
no remote start desired, my first thought
is The ASTRA 7E7 2 WAY PAGING ALARM with
keyless entry and starter disable.
This is my choice for the best, most thorough
system, without remote start.
see this at www.PAGINGALARM.com
or,
if too much, the ULTRASTART 430 ,
or, the ASTRA 200 systems all,
run 59.95 and do virtually the
same things that the 99.95 ASTRA 777 does
except paging.
Keep in mind that the best thing here
in my opinion is the comfort of
the 2 way pager.
This way you know it's YOUR car.
Not some random siren going off outside,
but YOURS!
Either way you would
still get starter kill, flashing lights,
2 remotes, domelight monitoring, 6 tone siren,
2 stage impact sensor and more.
You can also add an interior/exterior microwave
sensor to detect movement. This completes the
overall security needs I would think.
Have a look and let me know what I can do for you.
We'll get you squared away in no time.
Once you decide on the system, I will
put together an itemized PAYPAL PAYLINK
for you to just click n pay.
