I love my python remote start and alarm. Never let me down.
I have a remote start and keyless entry on a ford f350 and it doesnt work when the remote is below 15 degrees c. Not sure on the brand of it but can look tomorrow might when I go back to work to get it.
The python has started my trustworthy b in -38° c this winter and I love the alarm that was put in it. (same whoop whoop as ferrari's in movies when people lock the doors)

I have an Autopage CS730 which is everything I wanted in an alarm. Of course Viper and Clifford make good alarms that cost twice as much for the same or fewer features. Listen to me or not, what do I know, I've only been installing alarms since 1995
No ignition interface on my 11' xB2.5
You do have to tag both ignitions 1 & 2 for start but thats easy

Thanks for the suggestion. Since I don't feel comfortable installing it myself though, I'm kind of limited to the brands my local shops carry. I went to 3 shops and basically had 2 choices Python or Prestige. There wasn't a huge difference in price/features so I went with the shop I liked better = Python.
Prestige is no comparison to python

Which is better? Can you tell me why? I appreciate the info. It's why I started this thread.
I like to learn as much as I can before a purchase and I didn't find much in the way of reviews from a google search.

Yeah, his does a LOT. I'm just looking for a simple entry level model though.
Python, Clifford and Avital all derive from one main brand, Viper, which is in turn under the DEI umbrella. That said, they all have pretty much the same as far as hardware and most, if not all, offer lifetime warranty. Prices differ based on features, upgradeability (SmartStart), and system types. I'd cut out all the middle stuff and go with a Viper, personally, but Python and Clifford are pretty much identical with the exception of the look of the remotes.
