| I really like this product. One of my favorite features is the automatic window roll up when you arm the car that I got installed separate. I also like how loud the alarm is when it goes off. The remote is pretty sweet and my wife likes the pink version. So if she's happy then I'm happy! |

| I loved the remote start, only issue I had was the fact that I had to take my car back in to get the security system adjusted due to the fact it did not go off when a 260 pound man shook my car. |

| Works well, but always goes off inside the pocket, no way of locking it. |

| i like the system. i like how it has an automatic shut off on the remote start. only thing i wish it could have had was some sort of neutral safety switch for manual models so that you didnt have to set up the remote start when you get out.
overall awesome though! |

| Man I love my system, and plus every alarm I've ever had was by Directed Electronics and Viper. I wouldn't trade my alarm in for any other brand in this world. |

| This is my first car alarm to protect my Grand Am GT. It took 7 1/2 hours to install it at Auto Toyz in Iowa City though, but I am glad it was professionally installed. I really like the 2way remote and all the features with it. Great product and I feel protected. |

| This product is awesome! I've always heard about Viper's reputation but never purchased one. My last car had a Code Alarm (cannot compare to the Viper 5701) but the features were to difficult to remember. I am SO HAPPY with this alarm. The 2-way is great when you do not have a visual of your car, the remote confirms if the car has been started. The range is great, signal goes through walls. I read a review before I bought it about people having problems with the remote buttons being pressed while in a purse or pocket, but the remote can be locked. I couldn't find how to do it in the manual but I called Viper customer service on it and they gave me the code for it. For keypad lock press F for 12 seconds. then when the LED light on top turns red press the unlock button for 1.5 seconds. After that press the lock button and the keypad will light up for a few seconds, leave it alone, when all the lights turn off the keypad is locked. Sounds like a lot but it's really simple. It's a great feature if you just throw your keys in your purse or pocket. To unlock press F then the unlock. I love this product it's great! Better than the rest!! A little pricey but worth every penny! Would recommend to anyone! |

| I got the viper 2-way control for christmas 08. I love the remote. Mainly use the 1-way, it doesnt do alot of the things the 2-way does but the remote locks so I dont press buttons when its in my pocket and its wonderful for cold mornings. Only took an hour to install. have had it for 4 months now and havent had to change batteries yet. Would recommend to all my friends. |

| I'm pretty happy overall with my model 5701 but I have had some problems lately with it working properly. I've since found that the batteries in the remote are almost dead and wasn't too happy that the low battery indicator didn't warn me of that condition. Other than that it has been working just fine. I really like the remote start in the winter. |

| After reading the rewiews form other people who have bought this product I was convinced to purchase the 5701. After getting the alarm installed in my wifes minivan, I did a few tests to see if the alarm was working the way it was designed. Viper didn't let me down. This alarm works great... |

| This is a great system, easy to use if you read the manual and everything works great. I am having a hard time setting the shock sensor but that is user error not the system. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants good security, keyless entry, and remote start. |

| I bought this alarm for my wife's van last ocober and it was rating us good especially through the long Chicago winters, but after about 4 months or so my 2-way remote started acting up. I took it back to Best Buy and had the problem solved. Up until April everything was back to normal so I just took the van in for a second time and had both remotes replaced and my wife and I are extremely satisfied with this viper. If I were to do it all over again, I would still purchase this unit. Strongly recommend it. |

| Awesome remote start and everything. Only one kick that I can see is I have had it for almost a year and the batteries last me about three months. Of course, I use the remote start everyday 3 or 4 times a day. So, I know 3 months is good under those circumstances. |

| I really like this product, but wish it was less expensive. The buttons are touchy, but I had my installer put the 20 second lock function on it. Still trying to figure out if I can instantly lock it. The reception is pretty good with a clear shot of the vehicle, but office buildings are a problem. Regardless, I won't be freezing as much this coming winter and that's a great thing!!! |

| Absolutely love this product! Installed it myself in '09 Mazdaspeed 3. I love being able to hit the remote start button and get out of the car and go into a store with it running and still armed and keep my car warm or cool. Remote range is very nice compared to older systems I've used... Only problem I have is the shock sensor randomly going off within a few minutes of locking the doors. I've even turned the sensitivity down from default and I can kick the crap outta the tire and it not go off, yet it still goes off randomly 1-5 minutes after locking/arming! I'll figure it out eventually... |

| I love this product. This is my first car starter and I just love it. I had the Viper 5701 installed at Best Buy, just took 5 hours, installed by Juan and he did a great job. It works like a charm. I take the Metra train to work so just as I am approaching my station, about 3 blocks, I hit the starter 3rd down and it starts the car. One other thing I love is that it starts the car but stays locked until I unlock it. I love that feature. I don't have to worry about someone driving off in my car. Also, my garage isn't attached to the house, it;s throught the yard. I open my garage from the back porch and start the car. When I get into the garage the car is warmed up. I highly recommend this starter. I wanted to get it last year but I waited too long and the wait time to install was weeks away. |
